    Godwin's new law!

    Usually I will ask the LLM to commit only the work it just did, in case the worktree is dirty. It also tends to write actual in-depth commit messages too.

    I think literally anyone would stop reading these randomly long long bash commands at all after prompting Claude to do some basic sysadmin task and getting 15 of them in a row.

    For installation, maybe. sometimes. (The biggest issue I'm aware of is that if you have an old version of the app indexed anywhere on your root drive - for example in ~/qa/app-v1.0…

    I used to really enjoy this aspect of older games like Warcraft 3 and TF2. You'd get the one guy on your server who was just in another league compared to everyone else, and it was…

    I mean, let's be real for a second. It's cybersecurity. Yes, it does skew male, but you're probably looking at 10x the standard population density of Autistics, and 20x the density…

    Not really, no. My point is that a $100/mo LLM subscription is generating $5000/mo in value, so even a negligible difference in performance wipes out the cost savings completely. S…

    We are obviously limiting access to be read-only for anything customer-facing (it will be able to put recommendations in the dashboard but not actually change things directly) but …

    Yeah, fair. If we were talking $2,000/mo vs $200 then the maths starts looking very different.

    To put actual numbers on it, since using AI to start solving all kinds of bottlenecks/inefficiencies in our small business, we've seen monthly net profit go up by around $4,000 USD…

    I think we put up with Fable's occasional hiccups because there's nothing better at the moment. I use Claude Code semi-heavily for my small business, and the $100/mo I pay for that…

    I think the implicit assumption is that if you explained to the owner of the website what the scraper was doing, they would be more than happy to allow it. The bot was also being g…

    This is a sensible choice. Their newer models are heavily trained out of the "whoopsie doopsie I deleted prod, and all backups too" behaviour from last year. I've been running it f…

    Honestly, this is a problem that has been solved by LLMs. Just point Claude Code to the server over SSH and say "We need Immich to be served over HTTPS". You could theoretically up…

    I don't see the AI bubble popping any time soon (as in, not in terms of physical datacenter buildout - stock prices could fall). Even if progress hits a brick wall, we still have m…

    Could we not just make bigger wafers, if the technology called for it?

    I don't know whether you're looking at small-to-medium batch indie stuff, or big customers, but if it's the former I'd reach out to Josh Lifton from Crowd Supply. Surprisingly acce…

    I'd say it's more "Downloading LimeWire Pro from LimeWire" than actual theft.

    I mean, if you could get Opus or even Sonnet 4.5 at 1000+ tok/s exploring the codebase, they would probably change that setting back. But either way, I think GP's overall sentiment…

    Honestly I think part of it is just that it's cool to see software running on this platform. I remember coding some trash apps on the 3DS back in the day simply because I could. It…

    I know the CloudFlare CEO reads HN. Every day I see so much cool shit from that org, that as a one man band I just can't trust because there's no billing cap/prepaid billing.
