I feel like all this hype around generated code overlooks a distinct opportunity for enterprising focus on excellent, clean, maintainable, curated code - baked by humans, for other humans.

How does Tiller get your transaction data from your bank? Do they pull it through Plaid and the like? It's been a while since I checked them out. Does it still entail entrusting Plaid with your web banking user credentials? How'

I'll shamelessly resurface a comment I made a few years back. There's a school of thought which views Venus as a better colonization candidate than Mars, and as early as the 70's scientists envisioned floating cities. From h

It will be interesting to see how the people who maintain (in my opinion) one of the worst offending organizations out there for invading your privacy - and generally treating you in a manner that lacks human decency - respond to having the

In case anyone's curious, my basis for comparison is an old Dell M6600 that's magnesium and has been awesome in terms of rigidity and durability. I still use it regularly even though it's going on 15 years old! (Mainly beca

Thoughts on the chassis being all aluminum, vs. a magnesium alloy?

I appreciate all the replies but they all seem to involve making circuit connections by applying heat. If you have to reflow the whole assembly, then you've lost the big advantage they pitch from being able to drop traces on delicate

The article reads like they are talking about the traces. What about components like surface mount resistors, IC's, etc? The examples I noticed were things like antennas, grids, a microspring. I didn't see anything resembling a

I think it was the perfect adjective in the context of their comment. The poster clearly meant it with a flavor of whimsy to it, not in a derogatory way. Maybe also as a tongue in cheek jab at how people they perceived as overly concerned

Maybe I'm being unfair here, but it sounds like your complicated system (involving bootstrap scripts, a remote conductor agent, and "hijacking" the terminal connection with special escape sequences for command communication)

I'm curious how well this thing works, but you need a yardstick to measure it against. The last year or two a burgeoning community of meatspace AI detectors has emerged right here on HN, it might be fun for someone to rank "slopp

chatting with Claude is a solo conversation I only wish it were. While your analogy may reflect the mental model held by most users, I'd argue it sidesteps the reality that the company providing the service can by definition listen i

So liquids are recycled but solids are still bagged and stowed. I hear human excrement is high in methane content... and certain contemporary rockets use methane fuel, right? Poop-powered spacecraft, for the win! Edit - I wrote this tongu

It would be revealing to see a judge scrutinize the degree of control Flock maintains over the system and deliberate on whether the company truly is as hands-off as it claims when it comes to privacy obligations. Personally I feel if you&#x

You could also use your forehead as a hammer, but it's likewise going to result in more pain than gain. I wouldn't trust Claude to ride my bike, so I certainly wouldn't board its flight.

Neat, and nice audio, but I wish it were a little more forgiving. Eg. Combos or surviving several jumps might collect "lives" that recover your last orbit if you screw up. Might also be fun if you encountered powerups as you expl

But who wants boxes of DVD's cluttering up the place? Could someone turn this into a business where they store all those DVD's you bought, on your behalf? Or even go out and proactively build your library for you. Then let you do

This is so much more useful than the abhorrent practice Google employs of rewriting all its search result links simply to track what you clicked.

Or, even better, integrating the behavior into the memory controller itself, which would be transparent to all software without recompilation. Yeah it would be neat to just flip a BIOS switch and put your memory into "hedge" mod

Halfway through this great video and I have two questions: 1) Can we take this library and turn it into a a generic driver or something that applies the technique to all software (kernel and userspace) running on the system? i.e. If I wa

Another tip: Blowing air onto a component, instead of sucking it away, is much more effective for cooling. Basically if you put your hand where the cooled component is you should be able to feel the airflow. In practice this meant flippi

Thanks, that's a helpful comparison. You've shown a fixed prefix 3 hextets (48 bits) in length - is that the most common convention these days? And has the practice of generating portions of the address from your MAC address been

I wish Microsoft expanded and built on that model, instead of moves like firing swarthes of their QA staff. It could have grown into a massive, self-service testing playground where any developer could submit their product and put it throug

Thank you for that. Although it may be unlikely, I'd love to see a mass exodus away from their failed attempt to emulate all the worst aspects of appstores popularized in other platforms. I grew up being able to download software and

This is without even getting into learning the new (old?) paradigm of "exposing" all addresses to the whole internet. I realize "NAT" is not equivalent to "firewall", but placing them at the same boundary made
