Show HN: Open-source TUI for commenting on your agent's plans

We know giving feedback to agents in terminals can be awkward.. large scrollbacks, comments get lost in transcripts, comment on sub-bullets of list nested findings, etc.With `mdtation` (aka meditation) I try to calm down this flow and make interactions with agents more straightforward.If you like terminal based tools, herdr/hunk/agentation, I think you'll like this. First, let the agent create...

I was expecting to see images of Bonsai trees when I clicked this

Is this still the best resource? Looking for something first principles, simple, dumbed down, stripping away the unnecessary.
Re:Closing your MacBook hardware disconnects microphone, safety/privac... on Tuesday March 07, 2023 @10:28AM (#35056380)
I was recently trying to figure out whether the microphone is usable when using my notebook in clamshell-mode. Turns out Apple added a privacy/safety feature to all Apple silicon-based Mac notebooks and Intel-based Mac notebooks with the Apple T2 Security Chip. It will hardware disconnect the microphone when the lid is closed, based on the lid sensors.

Pretty cool safety feature!! Even though I'm sad I can't use my mic in clamshell mode

Great stuff!! If there were a whole course in this style, I would pay good money for it!

Ask HN: How Safe Are Password Managers on Compromised Devices

Posted by janniks on Tuesday September 13, 2022 @06:50AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I‘ve been thinking about password managers a lot lately. More specifically about what malware could do (and not do) on a compromised machine using a password managers (e.g., 1Password). I’m no operating systems expert and would love to know how far an program with or without root access could go reading the password managers data. This might differ on different host OS (Linux vs macOS vs...

Re:Show HN: Unreal Speech – Text-to-Speech API on Saturday June 11, 2022 @10:36AM (#31704727)
Would it be possible to mix multiple people/voices in a training set? Or does that confuse the AI? Could be interesting to create a real but kind of not real model. If that makes sense…

Re:Show HN: Vue-Notion – An unofficial Notion renderer on Thursday December 24, 2020 @02:52AM (#25525789)
That‘s a very good question! I am not sure how easy it is to do in a agnostic way. If we want to utilize the static generation features and other framework features, it‘s necessary to use some framework specific components (e.g. Next and Nuxt both have their own version of the „link“ that allows for smarter page loading after an initial render. It might be possible to just replace these parts somehow and leave the rest agnostic. But I don‘t think that‘s an easy task and you might lose some features when switching to a „dangerous setting inner html“ approach that isn‘t very well optimized in the compilation steps of the frameworks. Btw, I love your content!
Re:Show HN: Vue-Notion – An unofficial Notion renderer on Tuesday December 22, 2020 @07:58AM (#25505781)
Today, I am happy to share the vue-notion library with you – it is now possible to use Notion as a CMS for Vue (e.g. a statically generated Nuxt blog).

Here is an example Notion page rendered in Vue: https://vue-notion.now.sh/basic-example

As Notion fans we always wanted to be able to use Notion as a CMS for Nuxt. React has had this for a bit. So, we decided to port the react-notion project to Vue and are introducing the same functionality to Vue!

I hope there are some Vue & Notion fans here, we would love to get some feedback on this new package!

Let us know what you think – Have a great day everybody!

Re:Git ignore: An interactive CLI written in Rust to generate .gitigno... on Thursday November 19, 2020 @07:09AM (#25148699)
Every time I start a new project/repository, I need a .gitignore file. And every time I missed something that had to be added later—often after unstashing/reverting, because of those pesky git add --all I love so dearly. Then came https://gitignore.io and made my life a lot easier. Sadly, not too long ago, Toptal decided to rebrand the site a bit (not too much, but we developers are purists). So, the next time I spun up a new repository, I started procrastinating. I no longer wanted to have to leave the terminal to setup a .gitignore file. And thus git-ignore was born. You can now utilize battle-tested ignore templates right from your terminal.
