Wow, for some reason this surfaced an old memory: when EverQuest ran a promo in-game that let you order a pizza by entering `/pizza` [0]. [0] https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7020132…

I'm sending all my condolences out to everyone who is in a corporate environment using tools like Veracode or Snyk to automatically assess for CVEs and block merges or deployments …

Yeah, double (and I realize now my original statement wasn’t clear: that’s an occasional espresso in addition to my daily single cup of coffee in the morning).

Migraine auras - the additional disturbances that can accompany the pain (or, in some cases be present without the pain) [0]. [0] https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/221…

That was the only OTC I avoided, specifically because I was trying to tightly control and titrate down the caffeine dose (granted, measuring beans isn't precise dosing, but I didn'…

Possible, yeah. I still wanted to drink coffee, though - decaf. I enjoy it. So, went the long route.

Everybody's physiology is different, but I drank a full pot of coffee every day, for about 15 years. After Getting Older™, I was noticing more and more effects that I didn't like, …

Whoa, fascinating: what to call this paradox I'd never considered before? From the blog post: > In my dream world, the robots do all the boring jobs and humans spend all their time…

Really cool. I'm enjoying this. One bit of feedback: I'd love to be able to stare at the tests while I'm playing around with the logic gates; every time I switch to the tests tab t…

Amusing experience here when the outage hit, all the following verbatim (but extraneous text stripped/redacted) from my running Claude session: > No agents are running; the three t…

Learned about this last month from HN [0]. Subsequently took a 10 hour car trip where my wife and daughter both reported this feature allowed them both to read their books and arti…

A little searching will find you all sorts of such hits, like an officer tracking her domestic partner [0], an officer stalking someone after meeting on a TV set* [1], another offi…

Or a third party was paid a one-time fee to make something look good - which still isn't a testament to the quality of the first party's service they're providing.

My perspective on this, as someone skeptical of (but also bullish on) AI, is complex and I haven't completely nailed it down. My knee-jerk reaction is instant credibility loss for …

Ah, I've witnessed a US-based company try to fire someone it had hired in the UK and was surprised that it wasn't like firing someone in an at-will state in the US.

Appreciate the insight. I'm really quite curious about the inverse of this from the US. HNers who don't live in the US but have worked for a US company trying to do business in loc…

"You're absolutely right, that wasn't a military target—it was actually a girls school. It won't happen again!" I realize that's not a great argument and was definitely tongue-in-c…

Bingo. My wife brought them to my attention recently because she heard about them from Scott Galloway, who was speaking highly of Bending Spoons on one of his podcasts. As she was …

Agree on the animation. As an aside, I've seen folks mention respecting reduced animation hints and such in the past and was always curious about this because I've never had any ne…

I don't get car sick looking at a screen in a car, but my daughter very quickly does. Excited to set this up for her to see if it helps her, especially with our annual US Independe…

Also running live at https://demo.tokenbrook.com - hook up your own Claude instances per instructions in the repo! This is something I've been wanting to throw together for a few w…

Curious for folks who have made the switch I’m considering: if I swapped Claude Code to DeepSeek API pricing, would I get more bang for my buck compared to the $100 Max plan I’m us…

I would shell out cash right now for something like Opus on silicon, like what Taalas [0] has built for Llama 3.1. Having lightning-speed, local inference of a super high-quality m…
