I worry about this. Dumping data and getting a report on which actions are based prolly isn’t giving real data.

I say that because I have Claude review code and then review the review and it will point out all the things it got wrong the first time. And I end up having to review it myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m burning tokens all day and love the legit productivity gains but I don’t see how this replaces everybody in tech for a while.

when gmail launched in 2004, they did indeed target ads based on email content. People did not like it. Apparently in 2017 they ended "the practice." But now, about 10 years later, it's back?

It’s just cheaper. It has nothing to do with it being more listenable. Same with auto tune. It’s cheaper to have some mediocre singer do the track and fix it later. You don’t have to pay the great singer. And if you do get a great singer, you don’t keep them in the studio for as long. It’s just a cost savings. It doesn’t improve the music.

I switched to NA beer so that when I did decide to “have a few” it would be a rare occasion. Then I realized that NA beer was doing it for me and I haven’t gone back. It’s not for everyone but it worked for me.

Ah civ 1. Been chasing that high ever since. I talked my parents into buying a 486sx “for school” but I made sure it met the min reqs for civ. I put that packard bell through so much.

I’ve been playing Valheim for 2 years and I’m still finding things you can do that i didn’t know about.

# Allow network access globally (all sandboxes) sbx policy allow network <domain>[,<domain>…]

# Remove a global network rule sbx policy rm network --resource <host>

# Remove a sandbox-specific network rule sbx policy rm network --sandbox <sandbox> --resource <host>

If the results of regular exercise could be put in a pill, it'd be the most amazing miracle pill of all time.

I've found sbx to be very helpful. really like the sentinel value wrapper they have going so you can add secrets but the model can't see them. Outbound calls get looked up by sentinel value and the real one goes out to whatever API you're auth'ing too. There's other features but just having claude run in a sandbox and easily see what it does and doesn't have access to has been great.

Being able to drag a control onto the form and then double click it to get to the event code is just magical. I remember very well clicking around and building things for several hours before reaching for a docs back in the day.

I like a good thick book but I could not finish Monte Cristo. After about the 40th character introduction I just had to put it down. The problem is me, not the book.

But where are the “cure for cancer” papers for it to ingest and then give to us?

I’m not sure why the lights come on when I flip the switch. I can hand wave and say “electricity” but I suspect there’s more to it.

My opinion, anything driven by an algorithm is inherently bad. It’s hard giving up those sites, not because that’s where the people are but because we are all addicted to them. If you switch to mastodon or pixelfed, you’ll find good stuff there, but you won’t engage with it as much because it’s not algo driven, which to me is a win.

That’s what I have and love it. I have M(N+1) envy but I remind myself that my machine runs great. And it’s paid for.

My son takes the methylphenidate / guanfacine combo as well and it’s been a game changer.

This?

That was it.

For the in-crowd the law protects but does not bind. For the out-crowd, the law binds but does not protect.

Can’t remember where I read that but it has stuck with me.

In my first law class the prof said, "When it doubt, sue everybody."

Having small mini-pcs in my basement and a couple of Cloudflare tunnels and Tailscale has been awesome. Made me realize that I've gotten used to paying for software that is free because someone else was hosting. But now I host it and it's a way better experience. I'm not crazy about using Cloudflare, but so far it's been great. Having Postgres, rabbitMQ and Redis all running locally (and then realizing my traffic doesn't need a cache or a queue and just doing it all in Postgres) has been awesome.

And yes. Reddit had hallucinations too. Often replied with inaccurate statements with utmost confidence and certainty.

Does in/out mean in the tray or out of the bag?

Your thesis is that companies pay more (by promoting) to people they could easily backfill instead of just letting them go and replacing them?

I am constantly asking Claude to be more terse/brief/ELI5. Improve using the tool. But if I have to scroll to read the output I just can’t follow it.

If I see a long paragraph and I know the author is Neal Stephenson I think “this is going to be dense but good.” LLM long outputs on a code base I know well just make me glassy eyed.

It could be that the HN crowd is getting older? You age, your finger tips dry out, virtual keyboards get wonky.

[removed] made the mistake of assuming the contents of the article before reading it. My comment does not apply.

I totally hear you on that, but for my one off apps (and even some of my not one off apps) if I can't implement a feature in a PWA, I just learn to live without that feature.

That’s what that was. I thought someone there screwed up an image path.

Yeah. That was it. I remembered it wrong (you use chatGPT which I admit, has better voice interaction). I use claude code and type it all. Most of the time for walks/runs I just let my thoughts go whenever. But that's just me. I do really appreciate your post though. I wouldn't have the claude skill without it.
