I think you may have just gotten a bad roll since I have been scrolling on it for some time and haven’t seen any videos in that category. But I agree that that isn’t what I’d expect from the HN crowd

Re:Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md

Windows supports it but git disables creating symlinks by default.
> Short version: there is no exact equivalent for POSIX symlinks on Windows, and the closest thing is unavailable for non-admins by default unless Developer Mode is enabled and a relatively recent Windows 10 version is used. Therefore, symlink emulation support is only turned on by default when that scenario is detected. Support can be enabled by the user, via the core.symlinks=true config setting.

Re:How well do agents use test/verification techniques?
on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @11:38AM (#49611927)
I didn't understand this part in the article. It seems advantageous to have an AI do manual mutation testing because it can actually introduce realistic bugs, like raising an exception or returning a different, known error code. Instead of the quite limited approach offered by automated frameworks that mostly just change binary operators. The whole issue with manual mutation testing is that it's slow and has to be done by hand, but with AI it's not by hand any longer and if it takes a few minutes in the background, who cares.

Re:I automated opt-outs for 500 data broker sites (open source)
on Monday May 18, 2026 @08:48AM (#48179012)
Does this current approach succeed for many sites? I see that this repo was clearly vibe coded or at least heavily used AI to write it. That can be fine, it just makes it more difficult to follow how much was done already and how much is left to get this properly working. As for email verification, a stopgap solution could be to just tell me to click confirm on the emails and which senders to look out for. Properly reading the actual inbox on record across providers could be difficult, it requires an actual email client. Also, forgive me if I'm off base on this one, but your comment appears to be AI generated. If so, that violates site guidelines.

Re:I automated opt-outs for 500 data broker sites (open source)

The mention of states is because (besides the author likely being located in the States) many of the opt out forms are US only and filter on US state. You could probably just use an uncommon state or territory like Guam and try it, it would still submit opt outs for matching records on sites that are international. For example https://www.familytreenow.com/optout is listed in the broker list, and that seems to work for international profiles.

I don’t see what’s unclear about that account deletion page to be honest. It reads clearly to me that the account has been deleted and if you want to use the same email again, you can create an entirely new account using the same email, but it doesn’t reactivate the account.

Why so agressive? You're making a conclusion from a tenuous correlation. I upvoted TFA because I've been annoyed with my Apple keyboard and them not fixing it. Not becaue I saw some other post on window resizing. Judging by the other comments here a bunch of people are in the same boat. I've been complaining in my social circle about it and have partially switched to Android as a result.
