I might be misjudging the security risks, but I can't see myself running Claude Code with full access to my work machine, simply relying on its built-in sandboxes and permission sy…

Less knowledgeable overall, I would agree. LLMs are, if anything, the ultimate knowledge bases. But within our own areas of expertise, our worldview is typically more coherent and …

The existential risk that has received much attention is machines eventually becoming as smart as people, and then smarter still. What I see in the news, and, anecdotally, around m…

My pet theory comes to information density. LLM writing feels too shallow. If you read a text from a person who cares about her subject, there will be more useful detail and insigh…

I am surprised it's just half. The incentives are not there for replication or verification. You need to publish and it is easier to publish something new than to fight over existi…

Sure. Though to each his own, I'd imagine. Mine is quite basic. - 4 pages at the back are reserved for index. - Daily journal starts at the back. - There is no obligation to have r…

For reasons of just trying stuff out rather than for utility, I have a set of Python scripts to generate books from their titles alone using an LLM. There are hundreds of similarly…

There is also the question of real estate. I can have several paper notes side by side (when taking notes on loose sheets) but with iPads or ReMarkables that'll be rather decadent.…

I have a dedicated couple of pages in a notebook, where I write down the note-taking conventions I use. When transitioning to a new notebook, I would copy those pages, possibly mak…

In my limited understanding, with zero-knowledge proofs. That's also what the blog mentions. Say, a website issues a challenge, you sign the challendge with your private key suppli…

"Careful design of the protocols maintains privacy by preventing sites from learning any additional information beyond personhood." Is personhood verification desirable? Say, HN in…

Starting with the CTAP 2.1 standard, there is a largeBlob extension in the standard that allows for storage of a small amount of arbitrary user data. The current libfido2 library i…

The prompts are slightly tailored towards a textbook but are otherwise generic. If you have a Gemini API key, you can specify any title and get your own book. It can take several h…

I think with our modern day lives it's tough to accomplish. There is more multitasking going on our part, some of it necessary for work or social relations, so we learn to switch e…

Thanks! For animations I wrote some custom rendering code, with a simple API that exposes a canvas and the ability to paint either constant pixels, which never change in colour, or…

I wrote this blog back in 2023 but since then I became a frequent lurker on HN and decided to repost the blog here. For me, writing it was about connecting the dots between dynamic…

Thank you for the tip, will do so. I thought I saw some interactive blogs under Show HN, but maybe I'm mistaken. The guidelines are indeed explicit. (Tried to do so but was a bit t…
