I love these little anecdotes on HN, they are like a little dessert post-main-post. Thanks for sharing :-) what an incredible thing to have had the scoop on!

I'm sorry, but going to a quack doctor is not medical care, much like McDonald burgers would not be a healthy meal regardless of whether or not that's all you can afford. Except at…

I have had Claude and Codex look at third party repositories on several occasions as reference material for something I wanted to make my own version of, and not once have they eve…

Not mine, UBlock has blocked that since day one, thankfully

> They are mostly just practicing physical therapy without a medical license Oh, well as long as they're only practicing medicine without a license, I suppose that's okay then...

It's not "probably not" doing anything, it's definitely not doing anything, because chiropractic is quack pseudoscience that has been thoroughly debunked and also has a bunch of ot…

Whenever I ask an LLM to do something and it manages to 1-shot something ingenious/perfect, I get this weird feeling of happiness tinged with looming existential dread echoing soft…

Was it 4.5 or 4.6 that started using "load-bearing" all the time? Boy, the first time I saw that I knew immediately that was the Next Big Tic for Claude.

That's like saying "what, it was published in the paper of record in your local area!" NOTAMs have so many issues it's not even funny. There's so many of them and 9/10 of them are …

> most vulnerabilities are going to be closed in popular software by mid 2027 I think that's a bit hopeful. I think that as long as imperfect humans continue to exist and we contin…

They knew what they were doing by not including "VIA C3 CPUs" before the fourth paragraph. Come on. It should have been in the title.

Gah, I can't remember what the specific trivia was now (ironically), just that some disk wasn't mounting and something in the fstab stuck out to me that I then looked up in the man…

The speed with which I can remember some obscure AIX partitioning-related fact during an incident, for example, is orders of magnitude faster than the speed with which I would figu…

Yes, I love maximally restricting rights of others for unclear reasons.

You can already pretty easily handcuff a drunk person and then draw all over them with a sharpie, and that doesn't take 15 minutes of leaving a patch alone.

There is something unnerving about using an LLM to generate a site...that is a joke about AI embodiment.

It's a good question. I could see it working for some people (accountability, companionship) but at least for me, one of my parents is a certified PT and while she has helped a bit…

Exercise is great on the days I can do it, I love going for a walk. But sometimes when I hear that suggestion - I wonder if those people have ever lain in a totally uncomfortable p…

No, the archive.today (and .ph, .is, etc.) operator configured their nameservers to return invalid responses to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 resolvers because Cloudflare doesn't forward ED…

Yeah. My takeaway was sure, on one hand, arguing with your boss isn't going to end well. On the other hand, if arguing with your boss wouldn't end well (meaning you have a well rea…

It sounds like it could be an interesting case but the weird AI slop writing is a bit much to trudge through. I mean really: > What improved (reported) > Speech, recognition, dress…

Okay, so I'm not crazy for thinking that declaring an empty, typed array as `const` and then writing/pushing to it is confusing/feels wrong. I didn't go to college for software eng…
