I bet there’s gonna be a banger of a Mac Studio announced in June. Apple really stumbled into making the perfect hardware for home inference machines. Does any hardware company come close to Apple in terms of unified memory and single machi

The gap in your example is that a human had to realize the system is broken so that he could nudge the agent into fixing it. He can fix that gap by updating the agent to recognize when the system breaks. This now becomes the level at which

I’m from the US but reside indefinitely in the UK, and I’ve dodged all this crap (age verification, disabling advanced protection) by simply remaining in the US App Store. It has some downsides like I can’t download the Vodafone UK app but

Is “this could have been one-shotted with Sonnet” the new “I could build this in a weekend?”

The wild part is they’re having this reaction while using the most rigid and limited interfaces to the LLMs. Imagine when the capabilities of coding agents surface up to these professions. It’s already starting to happen with Claude Cowork.

What I miss is people showing off their hand-crafted libraries or frameworks. That’s become way less common now that everyone is building a layer up the stack. I fear we’ll be stuck in a permanent state of using Tailwind and React and all t

That’s a parody account. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if you cannot tell this is parody within the first two sentences then you should be very careful when reading twitter. This is a common format and other accounts are far m

A missile would need to fly all the way over Europe before reaching London. It would be noticed, jets would be scrambled and it would be shot. Just like what happened here.

In this case I think the schizos may be right. It makes complete sense. And $2b is peanuts to Meta, on par with the amount they’d authorize their lobbying department to spend over the course of a few years. I’m not surprised at all.

What are you using for hosting and deploying the MCP servers? I’d like something low friction for enterprise teams to be able to push their MCP definitions as easily as pushing a Git repo (or ideally, as part of a Git repo, kinda like Git

Any time I google something on this topic, the results are useful but also out of date, because this space is moving so absurdly fast.

Funny, I was automatically refunded for a pair of shoes that Amazon thought I never received even though I’m wearing them right now. I couldn’t even find a way to dispute the refund so I just took the win…

This would be a useful feature to bake into the commits generated by agents. Heck you don’t even need to wait — just change your prompt to tell it to include more context in its commit messages and to sign them as Claude rather than yoursel

I dunno, I feel like we’re well within the territory of the first commandment when it comes to growing brains in a vat. “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me.”

The S3 API is quite stable and most new features are opt-in (e.g. ApplyIfModified) or auxiliary (e.g. S3Tables). It’s highly unlikely that S3 proper will break backwards compatibility for clients with any future API change. So if all you ne

> that isn't offered by native blocking/existing extensions There is no “native blocking” on HN. You cannot block a user or hide their comments and submissions in perpetuity. You can only hide on a per-story basis.

I’ve always found this an amusing method of attribution considering top tier hackers are unlikely to be writing code only during office hours.

Why are HN mods appending a question mark to the original title which is obviously a headline of a blog post, i.e. a thesis of the author, and not an assertion of fact? You may as well suffix every headline with a question mark.
