News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

fabbbbb

Well the reasons for a choice do matter, don’t they? They matter in today’s law in many places.

Is aborting because of an LLM „likelihood“ of some genetic issue (that might lead or not lead to an short or unhappy life) the same as aborting after rape for you?

Biggest problem in fact is that people take genetic markers as deterministic and assume the worst outcome. Lots of false abortions happen. That does not happen with rape.

Is there such choice? Today parents are not doing that choice but choosing to stop the life of the kid with Down-Syndrome. So I’m not sure they are receiving „all the respect“ today - are they?
This is an anecdotal example, isn’t it? What do people today abort for, after genetic diagnosis? Down-Syndrome and other markers with highly random and non-fatal outcomes.

I have no problem with abortion itself.

What are you talking about? Down Syndrom LE is 60 years.
Well the „improvement“ here seems to be „it has some likelihood of genetic disorder let’s speed up death“
How will this lead to saving lives? The only possible consequence is abortion?
Does this make sense to you and her? Does she wish the kid would not have been born?
It reads like a specific genome would lead to deterministic outcomes. It does not. Life is messy.

Most Down Syndrome people have happy lives, some can even leave alone and have an independent daily live.

Life expectancy is up to 60 years.

Yet in Iceland „Democratization“ of genetic diagnosis lead to basically 0% Down Syndrome kids.

Where does this stop? What with someone of a genetic indication of aggressive cancer- life expectancy 55? Abort?

The same (detectable) genetic mutation leads to vastly different lives.

Re:Claude Code is locking people out for hours on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @12:26PM (#47677761)
Is this really relevant news? Please share more bug reports from popular services and tools. Feels a tiny bit biased. My CC is just fine since at least three weeks.
How?! That must be like 10 parallel Opus 4.6 with all cranking lots of in and out respectively very long sessions?
To some degree sure, is it about the number tokens you can max out?

I’m pretty happy knowing that it supports my development workflow for a week. Recent features like the Code Desktop built in browser, Cowork with Claude in Chrome and remote control matter to me way more than the number of tokens. But that’s me.

Depends on their targeted ICP also, which they are free to define. Is it those users maxing out tokens for the buck? I have the feeling there’s even better alternatives on the market right now.

I was surprised about that, too. Tried a bit but found very few sources online.

A self-hosted version with storage (multiplayer) plus any Claude access would be a killer setup for team planning etc and let us drop Miro.

Took exactly 24 hours for me, on the minute..
What’s the chain of reasoning that brought you to this conclusion?

At least as an EU user I was also able to export ALL my data, audio files images etc in one zip. Took exactly (on the minute) 24 hours for the download link to arrive but hey.

This way you can have Claude distill the memory as you wish.

Anyone having success with exporting data from ChatGPT? Got the export email 11 hours ago but still no download link..

Not sure I do, but to try, this is calling for a culture of science, education and differentiation, which I thought this is. Against black and white simplifications that don’t enlighten anyone but foster extremes.

Not all JavaScript code is bad, nor is all AI-generated code bad (neither good).

We see this black and white simplification all over the place, no trade offs desired anymore. We pick a bad characteristic about a (new) habit product food or technology and that’s enough to render the whole thing inferior.

There is good tries with nutrition transparency in some EU countries, as an example for education around food.

if people can and want to understand it, they can make good choices.

Maybe the US isn’t ready or wishing for such level of education and freedom. Even some EU countries are not.

Re:Eat Real Food on Friday January 09, 2026 @03:02PM (#46558543)
Totally there’s correlation, and to some extent causality. And it’s mostly right. But it’s also wrong. You can pick healthy packaged food in the supermarket. Durability doesn’t require additives in many cases.

Mainly, it will be very hard to change the cooking habits of people in this sense. Chopping your own vegetables is much harder than buying the right (processed) food that doesn’t change anything else about your habits. It sounds super “free” - I doubt it will have large scale impact on the US average diet. Better regulate your food.

Re:Eat Real Food on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @04:38PM (#46533306)
To me it seems the point is “processed” == bad. Isn’t it? And NOVA seems to be the gold standard for what’s “processed”.

Of course there’s better things as whole grain bread in plastic foil (whole grain bread freshly made) or infant formula (breastfeeding). But they are more healthy than other things that rank better in NOVA.

Re:Eat Real Food on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @04:32PM (#46533214)
Did you find evidence for your two claims?

You can compose a pretty healthy diet from what’s called “processed” (prepared, cooked and packaged). From the very same pyramid.

Re:Eat Real Food on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @04:14PM (#46532918)
Unfortunately there seems to be no good aligned definition of what (highly) processed food is. 1,2

Whole grain bread or infant formula can be “highly processed” despite very healthy.

In the end someone else cooks for you and packages it. They can cook healthy or not or in between, add a lot of salt or little, .. as always it’s more complex.

Which exact part of the guideline makes you think so?
Re:Claude Opus 4.5 on Monday November 24, 2025 @05:37PM (#46040236)
I get the same impression. Even GPT 5.1 Codex is just sooo slow in Cursor. Claude Code with Sonnet is still the benchmkar. Fast and good.

They did release the Composer model and people praise the speed of it.
Re:How I Use Every Claude Code Feature on Sunday November 02, 2025 @05:16AM (#45789209)
Agree, depending on the repo and changes it’s hard with local dev servers. It sometimes works well if you don’t need local dockers and want to outsource git workflow to CC as well. Then it can do on that branch whatever it wants and main work is in another worktree with more steering and or docker env.
Not sure about the distribution, often it’s cash or jewelry that’s already home. Bank tellers and even taxi drivers get increasingly educated to stop such suspicious withdrawals/meetings.
Is this a EU thing? Replace Country by municipality, province, state.

Their landing page via Safari manages to crash my iPhone 11 Pro repeatedly, namely crashing Safari but also another app and the Bluetooth connections - had not seen that before so they are clearly innovative.

Liquid doesn’t need to mean water? Traditional solar thermal systems use special liquids that can get way more hot than 100C.
