I agree that it could be done with fewer agents. It would take longer though. Seems to me that these agent farms are good at coordinating and co-working in large projects, with the agents using message boards for communication.
Re:I resigned from Anthropic today on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @12:51AM (#49621160)
Seems like hundreds or thousands of agents are needed to come up with real breakthroughs. Both with the Navier-Stokes project and in the Hugging Face “project” there were lots of agents co-operating on the tasks.

Noticed the same thing. In Mac Safari it works without setting any flags.

I think creating prototypes is now so easy that people are creating them for ideas that are not even worth of prototyping.

Show HN: Spot Canvas – AI-Powered trading charts for learning and automating TA

https://spotcanvas.com

Hi HN,About a year ago I started tinkering with drawing candlestick charts on an HTML canvas. What began as a small experiment turned into a full-blown crypto charting library.At some point I asked myself: could this actually become a competitor to TradingView? That felt overwhelming, since TradingView has an enormous feature set. Still, I kept building — partly because I enjoy side projects...

This is my vibe coding project. Just finished coding the indicators for it.
Re:Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups? on Sunday September 15, 2024 @03:35AM (#41545895)
I would recommend The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. It’s a classic that introduced the MVP concept to the world.

And for a bit of different approach, Make by Pieter Levels. This also recommends trying a lot of ideas and seeking what sticks, but perhaps with a more straightforward approach.

Re:Ente Auth: open-source Authy alternative for 2FA on Saturday July 06, 2024 @07:57AM (#40889872)
I've developed a command-line password manager and authentication application in Rust. Here are the key features:

1. Uses KeePass file format for secure credential storage 2. Supports One-Time Passwords (OTP) for two-factor authentication (2FA) 3. Provides a convenient CLI interface for retrieving 2FA codes

The project, named Passlane, offers a streamlined approach to password management directly from the terminal. It's particularly satisfying to generate 2FA codes via command line!

For those interested in exploring the code or contributing, you can find the project on GitHub: https://github.com/anssip/passlane

I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Re:Apple is launching its own password manager app on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @02:13AM (#40655089)
Yes, makes sense! I would need to change it to output only the password without all the extra info that only makes sense for humans - could work in this script mode when provided with an additional command line option.
Re:Apple is launching its own password manager app on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @02:52PM (#40650007)
About using it for storing keys of other shell scripts/commands: What kind of special functionality this would require? Would you like to, for example, use passlane to extract the password of some script and then pipe it to that script? Perhaps adding that kind of functionality would make sense.
Re:Apple is launching its own password manager app on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @12:25PM (#40648204)
I use the Passlane CLI for accessing and managing my passwords. Passlane stores the data in a keepass file that I have in Dropbox so that I can access it from multiple devices. On my phone I access it with Keepassium.

Check Passlane here (I’m the author of it): https://github.com/anssip/passlane

Re:100 Exercises to Learn Rust on Friday May 17, 2024 @04:21PM (#40393837)
Yes, I had some feature in an earlier version that I wanted to add and the example code I was looking at was async and that made me think that I have to go to that route and also include an async runtime (Tokio). Once I was there, I ended up using async versions of some other dependencies as well.

Later on I then realized that in my CLI app I’m not gaining anything from it as there is no need for any parallel prosessing. It was just making my code more complex.

Re:100 Exercises to Learn Rust on Friday May 17, 2024 @12:58AM (#40386524)
I blogged about my approach of learn by doing:

Reading this makes me want switch jobs. I want to again work somewhere where in the morning I wake up and feel excited to work, instead of feeling forced to work on some stuff that does not interest me at all.
Re:Show HN: Passlane - A password manager CLI and webapp on Thursday September 01, 2022 @03:39AM (#32673220)
I originally wrote the CLI to learn Rust. It became a functional CLI tool for generating and managing passwords. Once I had the CLI working and usable, I wanted to have the passwords available also on my phone and on my iPad and I ended up creating an online vault with a web UI and an API.

The CLI can now use the online vault API for storing/retrieving the password data. There is also a webapp that you can use to access the passwords using a web browser - I use that on my phone.

The passwords are stored AES 256 encrypted, and only decrypted in the client using your master password. The master password is never sent online.

The CLI is an open source in Github. It's written in Rust: https://github.com/anssip/passlane

Let me know what you think!

mfjordvald is saying that the company serving the video can be in one of these "wrong" US states where captions are required. Does not really matter where Flowplayer Ltd is located.

It forks flawlessly on iPad too, using the same controls as in desktop browsers.
