> and I imagine Claude did the v4 rewrite HN detectives, hard at work. I wish there was a way to automatically hide all the comments saying "but I think LLM was involved in this so…

I have been using SuperDuper for the last 20 years. It works. It does its job. It doesn't pester me with popups. It didn't get bloated. It didn't get rewritten using Electron to su…

The worrying thing here is that so many people accepted outsourcing the decision on who can see their website to a large company (Cloudflare). If the company decides that a certain…

Yes, they should function like gas stations and be regulated similarly. When I approach a gas station, I see the prices usually on large signs. If not, I always see the price I am …

Thank you for Pandoc! I used it for many things over the years, and it was always there as a good option. I mostly use it for Markdown->Typst these days and it does this job very w…

No. And it's not the number of charging stations, it's the general shittiness of those. You never know how much you will pay per kWh, there are apps, networks, roaming agreements, …

I hear so much about people running into token limits and using bajillions of tokens. Am I doing something wrong? I'm finding it hard to run into the limits of a Claude Max (20x) a…

What is the point of doing this? Why do people do this sort of thing? I'm genuinely puzzled.

I think the bigger problem here is not AI, but the increasing tendency for designers and designers-groups to look at one another's work and copy it. It almost seems like every desi…

I test Qwen models regularly. They are very good for English and I'm guessing Chinese, but much worse for non-English (specifically, Polish).

In defense of this model, Gemma is actually a very good general-purpose model that can work with multiple languages. I use it for spam classification and for processing dictation, …

I really think we should be solving a much bigger problem of the major email providers not providing an automated way of handling abuse and not caring about abuse reports at all. M…

Incidentally, I've been testing a lot of dictation apps and models. I am on macOS Sequoia and intend to skip Tahoe altogether, so newer Apple models were not an option. I also dict…

I find it unsettling that we are willingly outsourcing the decision on who can access our sites to an increasingly dominant corporate entity. The reasoning behind this is also flaw…

Those auto memories are also annoying because by default they are not version controlled and land in a secret location. I much prefer storing stuff in a version controlled `CLAUDE.…

VW ID.4, and it's unlikely I can spare the time for making a video without a really good reason…

I have the same impression when I use things that are around me every day. Everything is broken and seemingly nobody cares. It seems that the teams developing software never use it…

This sounds a little bit like ADHD, but the common advice of getting medication isn't always applicable. Yes, it is definitely worth finding out if you have ADHD and diagnosing it,…

Poland, while not entirely corruption-free, has managed very well after the transition from Russian-dominated communism. For reasons I still do not understand, organized crime was …

Sigh. This kind of whataboutism derails all discussions online. First, there is no requirement for "consistency". Every person chooses where to draw their moral line. The world is …

That is a modern BBS! I love the idea. Though I guess most people these days don't know what a BBS is, if you don't, look it up.

Yes, please do. Your support of Russia is the only reason why I stopped using Kagi and paying for Kagi. I really want to like you and use your product.

Well it's a good thing they killed Aperture, then. Makes perfect sense. (I was badly affected by that and decided not to trust them to maintain anything over the long term anymore)…

How is it better than, say, LM Studio? And does it run MTP models (which from what I understand are GGUF)?
