A lot of people are going back to 4.8 because of the over-verbosity of 5.0. It's pretty painful to read through anything "English" that is output by Opus 5. It's like a whole separate pidgin language.

I really enjoy refactoring. Like, doing it by hand (5 miles uphill in the snow both ways) rather than AI. I don't even understand why I enjoy it, because if done right, there's no visible change. When people ask me why I'm so

From the FAQ [1]: What is a "sensitive breach"? HIBP enables you to discover if your account was exposed in most of the data breaches by directly searching the system. However, certain breaches are particularly sensitive in that s

It's wild to me that one of our primary measures for maintaining control over these systems is that we talk to them like they're our kids, then cross our fingers and hope the training run works out okay.

I picked up on it very quickly as well. Here are some more phrases that match that same LLM pattern. Sure, you could argue that someone actually writes like this, but after a while, it becomes excessive. - Your program continues running wit

The AI-generated images don't do anything to help the case either...

I believe it's because the actual text behind the font would say "Here's a statementam-and here's a diversionam-and back to the original statement." Problem is, it's only useful if you're using those speci

Is reddit leaking through to HNews? This childish comment doesn't add any value to the discussion whatsoever.

I love osdev. I don't know what the end game is for me, but there's something really cool about being able to just create... whatever I want. It all sort of clicked for me when I was able to get some basic x86 interrupts and sysca

I remember the commercial for this. It was very dramatic in promoting how CueCat would change the world, but in a sort of cheezy techno-futuristic setting.

What is the competitive landscape looking like these days for Rust web frameworks? I couldn't help but feel a bit insecure last time I was exploring the various options because none of them seemed to have the maturity or longevity of f

I'm going to be a bit vulnerable here... I really had a difficult time parsing that, and I'm still not quite sure I fully understand it. I found myself losing concentration when I knew it was going to require my full attention to

Tangential question: What is the best Pandora-adjacent service these days? In other words, where can I plug in "Artist X" and get a great platter of recommendations? Spotify doesn't cut it for me -- the recommendations are ei

The article seems to (loosely?) imply that there's a connection between the outage and some sort of an internal employee protest, although I think it's incredibly shoddy journalism at best.

I would love to find one of these that does the opposite -- provides heating instead of cooling. ...also known as... clothes, I guess?

Is there a good primer on the history of unionization in the United States? I've been living here for almost half a century and I know next to nothing about how it works. I've read and enjoy Grapes of Wrath, have heard about the P

Off the top of my head: - Cloudflare - Webserver-level user-agent blocking (Apache, nginx) - Application-level user-agent blocking (`if request.user_agent == 'OpenAI'`) None of them are ideal since you can simply change your user

Not that I'm arguing for or against preventing access from AI crawlers, but wouldn't it make more sense to block them at a higher level, e.g. the webserver, and not even give them the choice to obey/disobey robots.txt?

Would there be any usefulness in some sort of a "CLI standard" that defines certain behaviors and provides useful recommendations? e.g., - Apps must always have a --help/-h argument - Apps that require subcommands or argument

As a layman designing an app with subcommands, can you explain this a bit further? I'm only familiar with using !! to bring up the previous command.

I'm staring at the 653,000 figure and still can't determine if I'm shocked because it seems surprisingly low or high. Perhaps it's because the previous poster dropped a 40 million number that moved my frame of reference.

I like "good send" -- it's a bit less hyperbolic than "Godsend".

Houston, too. Some of the historic neighborhoods (e.g. Woodland Heights, lower Heights for the most part) are resisting the 3 story box house paradigm and still have a bunch of amazing Craftsman bungalows.
