Not sure how relevant it is, but I finally decided to dip my toes in last night and write my first agent. Despite paying for ChatGPT Pro, Claude Pro, etc, you still have to load up credits to use the API version of them. I started with Clau

Huh, I use a "stock" (I think?) MacOS Safari and got "Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint" and "Partial protection" for ads and invisible trackers. Did you change a setting or add an ad blocker or some

Wow, that's a really interesting paper. That's the kind of thing that makes me feel there's a lot more research to be done "around" LLMs and how they work, and that there's still a fair bit of improvement to be

Agreed. I feel like it's more just a collection of good comments. It doesn't surprise me to see tptacek, patio11, etc there. I think the "prediction" aspect is under weighted. But it reminds me that I miss Manishearth&#x

And what did you do with them? Throw them away? I bought and used an iPhone 11 for a year last year, and it came with a perfectly functional, replaced battery. People on HN have such a blind spot around old, used phones which thrive in seco

It actually popped up and was useful for me yesterday when I was calling a hotel I had booked. I was kind of surprised because I had forgotten about the feature, but it is there and does occasionally offer helpful info.

"needs to be sacrificed"? You yourself give other options. * Some iPads have the finger print reader on the side of the device, on the power button. * Old Google Pixels had it on the back, conveniently able to be accessed with you

He designed the Stata center at MIT. I know it's had lots of problems (leaks and other issues) because of its wonky design. But I always liked walking by, and thought of it as a Dr Seuss building.

Yes, I was referring to Handmade Network, but check out who you're responding to[0]. Honestly, I wasn't too sure about the Handmade Cities thing, but I recognized his name as someone thick in the middle of my question, so I assume

Ha. That counts the cents, though, I assume? I didn't think Hashicorp was that big, right?

Indeed, you cleared up exactly the misconception I had. Thanks for chiming in to clarify

I'm sort of surprised to see that you used Claude Code so much. I had a vague idea that "Zig people" were generally "Software You Can Love" or "Handmade Software Movement" types, about small programs, exqu

What exactly does covering childbirth mean? We've had two children now and it's not something I've considered when choosing insurance (my company's vs my wife's), so maybe we just got lucky. Is there anything differ
226.
by losvedir 11mo ago
Hmm, counting the insurance premiums 100% towards the birth of the child is a bit misleading. Presumably, you'd be paying those even if you didn't have the child. That said, the cost of health insurance for a family is pretty outr

Depends on your threat model. I went all in on 1Password when I realized that realistically the most likely attack vector for me is phishing, which it absolutely protects against (won't be duped by a fake site and auto fill password).

How's this work with https like in the example? The hops along the way shouldn't see the path. Is this implying that all TLS is terminated at the Iran border and proxied from there? And all Iranian sites are required to host via h

Depends how you look at it. Some of my colleagues rave about Claude Code, so I was thinking about trying it out on these puzzles. In that sense it is "going to the gym", just for a different thing. Since I do AoC every year, I fee

Are you saying that we all have different inputs? I've never actually checked that, but I don't think it's true. My colleagues have gotten stuck in the same places and have mentioned aspects of puzzles and input characteristi

No it's not. Gambler's fallacy is "I just flipped tails so heads is more likely now". I read this article as "heads has a 50% chance of coming up so I'll get one eventually" (which is true - law of large n

Is this that Steve Yegge? A former Googler/Amazon guy with long interesting rants? I don't even remember what about anymore, but I liked to read him back in the day.

Heh, I tried to follow the link to the Codeberg repo at the top of the blog post and it is failing to connect. Maybe HN hug of death? In any case it makes the rest of the post and its criticisms of GitHub hit a little differently. edit: I s

Personally, I'm skeptical that it's a real bug, and that even if it is, that's the proper fix. For all I know, the LLM hallucinated the whole thing, terminal prompts, output, "fix" and all. It takes time to review t

Congrats on 1.0! I've been interested in Unison for a while now, since I saw it pop up years ago. As an Elixir/Erlang programmer, the thing that caught my eye about it was how it seemed to really actually be exploring some high le

That's kind of the opposite of what I mean. CLAUDE.md is (ostensibly) always loaded into the context window so it affects everything the model does. I'm suggesting a POTENTIAL_TOOLS.md file that is not loaded into the context, b

I never really understood why you have to stuff all the tools in the context. Is there something wrong with having all your tools in, say, a markdown file, and having a subagent read it with a description of the problem at hand and returnin

Yeah, maybe, but randomly scrolling down the list, the first two I read were > Is it possible to overrule a current patent and use it as my own in some countries? > > Why is Disney such an asshole when it comes to copyright issues?
