> I was told I'm not supposed to read pull requests at my job anymore (we all do agentic coding now), I'm just supposed to click "approve" on PRs because for some stupid reason it …

I guess it depends, but what are you doing with all your time if you aren't reviewing the code and trying to make it maintainable? The time I previously spent writing code is now s…

Yeah, I was very skeptical and now I've drank the kool-aid. Got multiple parallel cloud agents with independent loops making PRs and me reviewing them. AI is also reviewing PRs and…

This matches what Gwern wrote years ago [0]. It does unequivocally make you stronger though. So if you're training anyway, may as well take it and hope it makes you smarter as well…

Today I learned about the Bortle scale. I was completely ignorant about it. > If you've never seen truly dark skies, do yourself a favour and go see what they look like during true…

> The worst part IMO for both is that they prioritize mobile apps over their PC software so if you want to edit on a computer like a normal reasonable person you lose features comp…

This is the complete opposite of those discussions. It's taking a specific quantifiable thing and measuring it, with enough information for anyone to try and reproduce the results.…

I mostly travel around Africa & Asia (east, south east, central). Yeah, I used esim.dog with the HK break out IP and it was fine. I guess my usage falls into two categories: 1. I h…

How do you judge "the best" network? It normally depends on if you're in the city, countryside, island etc. I travel fulltime and constantly buy new esims. Normally I just go on es…

Yeah, I remember some ad by an LLM security company hitting HN a year or so with a "challenge" to do prompt injection. The final level was their product and it was impossible. But …

> Do you want to iterate using for loop or using .iter().step(2).map()? This isn't really a good example, assuming both can be used to represent the same thing. The problem with th…

It's too hard to define what "works" even means in this case. Look at the example savings output. A lot of it is kubectl output. Your suggestion to using coding benchmarks doesn't …

> In which country can you emigrate to and be allowed votes in government representation just because you pay taxes? There are a few, with varying degrees of residency time (and po…

> Kids don't produce capital for the elites. Kids eventually grow up and "start producing capital". It's definitely beneficial for the "elite" in the long term for people to have k…

I had to deal with the Japanese for the first time last week. My girlfriends bag was stolen with her passport. It happened in a Round1 (near Umeda in Osaka), we knew exactly when s…

> Scattering the implementation in various files all over the source tree does not help much building the mental model. Yeah, that happens where I work and I hate it. A combination…

What laptop has that much VRAM and RAM for $3500 with good/okay-ish Linux support? I was looking to upgrade my asus zephyrus g14 from 2021 and things were looking very expensive. D…

Who decides what a "win" is in these cases? I get everything apart from that part. Because I would take that bet, but I'm worried what the definition of "Jesus christ" is.

You're not wrong that it does that, but that's kinda what I'd expect. Maybe because I'm used to it, but if there's a potential turn it'll say "keep right" or "keep left". So it mak…

I suspect the real issue is that they just change stuff "randomly" and the experience gets worse/better cheaper/more expensive. Since you have no way of knowing when they change st…

I bet if you could make it interesting, YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/Whatever could make it possible to get paid to dig holes in your backyard. You could argue that the value is in the…

FWIW I have an Asus Zephyrus G14 and the dual graphics cards works pretty well in Linux in hybrid mode. It's pretty cool, certain things (games) run on the dedicated Nvidia GPU. Ev…

Pretty much, the article assumes people didn't build the wrong thing before AI. Except that did happen all the time and it just happened slower, took longer to realize that it was …

So just to clarify, in your case you're running a centralized MCP server for the whole org, right? Otherwise I don't understand how MCP vs CLI solves anything.
