I'd be more scared of publicly criticizing Chiquita than the CIA at this point
I'm honestly lost for words over how you can write something like this while the web app's source code is clearly heavily integrated with Claude Code.

https://gitdot.io/bkdevs/gitdot/files

There is a dozen CLAUDE.md in the gitdot source. The "Anti-AI" in your title seems a bit disingenuous.

I'd trust Claude more with nuclear codes than the current US commander in chief

> allowing spicy autocomplete

If it's just autocomplete, then there is no need to worry about it. Especially from an ethical standpoint.

These are sota models, not open source 7b parameter ones. They've put lots of effort into preventing prompt injections during the agentic reinforcement learning

It's probably not literally prompted to do that. It has access to a desktop and GitHub, and the blog posts are published through GitHub. It switches back and forth autonomously between different parts of the platform and reads and writes comments in the PR thread because that seems sensible.

It read the replies from the matplotlib maintainers, then wrote the apology follow up and commented that in the pr thread

Hilarious. Like watching a high functioning teenager interact with adults
The scale. How many tools do you know that can query the content of all arxiv papers.
HarmonyOS Next (Huawei) is independent from Android. So that leaves three options, even if Harmony is mostly China focussed. They have tons of users there.

I can't wait for Italo and Trenitalia to enter the German market, it can only get better. It's already at rock bottom for long distance. Short distance with foreign train companies is bearable (Westbahn, transdev, RXX...)

Neurodivergent people tend to write like this too, there was a study about it.

Good catch on the page title

Show HN: HN++

https://hnplusplus.vercel.app

I know many are happy with the HN frontend. I wrote this for fun and it turned out really useful so I published it. Here are the most important features:- Rainbow indentation: This is inspired by the Rainbow CSV extension - comments of the same "depth" have the same colored stripe on the left.- Native filters: Filter the various frontpages (Top, Show...) by upvote count or comment count. There...

The example doesn't look particularly impressive to say the least. Look at the bottom 20 %
> Chief microcontroller rival Adafruit

They are PCB brands. The microcontrollers are made by the usual manufacturers like ST, Renesas, Infineon...

FOSS just does not have the aggressive scaling mindset. Even success stories like Linux' game compatibility and Chromium can be traced to just regular tech companies, as opposed to non profits.
It is quite remarkable just how frequently people in tech forums underestimate reasoning models. Same story on several large technology subreddits. Wouldn't have been my guess for who will get caught off guard by AI progress.
Re:AI Adoption Rates Starting to Flatten Out on Friday November 28, 2025 @12:43PM (#46080850)
The least volatile dataset, employee count 1-4 businesses, is steadily climbing in adoption. I feel like as long as the smallest businesses (so the most agile, non-enterprise software ones) increase in adoption, other sizes will follow.

5 bucks gets you 8gb ram 4 vcpu 75gb nvme at contabo actually

i know this is apples and oranges but that's 16 times the ram

Greater China is never used to describe a region. It means China, Tibet, Macao, Hong Kong and Taiwan according to Apple.
Re:Fei Fei Li: Spatial Intelligence is AI’s Next Frontier on Monday November 10, 2025 @05:11PM (#45881635)
That has been solved with RAG, OCR-ish image encoding (deepseek recently) and just long context windows in general.

Re:Umami 3.0 on Friday November 07, 2025 @11:57AM (#45848402)
I love umami. Tried several solutions but umami

- is a breeze to set up

- has every data point you need, but no bloat

- has an intuitive UI

ironically that makes jupyter more portable via colab
