    $500 would amount to just 10k requests. One million requests is $50k

    0.05 cents even. The beautiful thing is, minuscule amounts of micropayments are already enough to fix the incentives

    Every git repository hosting platform - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg - necessarily gives end users control over filenames. "User-controlled strings as parameters" is not "ac…

    How does Pangram detect this? How do we know this is any more reliable than just asking any HN user to judge a text for AI signs, i.e. how is this more authoritative than the comme…

    I haven't heard that number before and I'm actually impressed. For a file-by-file close to literal translation of a memory-unsafe language to Rust, isn't that pretty good? I was ex…

    In what sense was Bun's rewrite performative? If I recall correctly, Jarred deliberately tried to fly a bit under the radar to prevent the inevitable outcry

    What would be a better way to incorporate AI as a spell checker? In comparison to non-AI traditional tools, AI has the advantage of "understanding" the text, reducing the number of…

    Is there research about this? That sounds like it would make productive AI usage much easier, but it also sounds very brittle

    The "frontend skills" whose growing irrelevance are bemoaned in this article consist largely of navigating a minefield of unintuitive edge cases, browser incompatibilities, histori…

    If you're running Claude Code in a container anyways, why does `--dangerously-skip-permissions` not work for you?

    To be fair, the culprit in the article is _less complex_ than branch prediction: "with random data, bits are flipped often, and bit flips in transistors inherently draw power" is l…

    I agree. The article mourns the death of pentesting as an art form due to automation. But you could also celebrate the death of pentesting as an arduous necessary evil due to autom…

    So glad I found someone mention this. Amazon.de, SPIEGEL.de is down. Highly prominent sites unreachable. I wonder how long this will last and how big of a thing this ends up being …

    A much cheaper way might have been to buy a couple of Novation Launchpads. 8x8 full RGB tactile buttons for 90€, MIDI-controllable. Four of those next to another for 16x16 at 360€ …

    But what's wrong with sending the number as a string? `"65537"` instead of `"AQAB"`

    Why does the specification specifically mention them, then?

    I'm afraid this introduces too much magic Personally, "0%" doesn't mean "hasn't started" to me, it means "not enough progress has happened to reach 1%". Assuming I'm not alone with…

    Can be pretty fast if you know your tools well :) Just tried in VSCode; 2:38min using its fabulous multiline editing. 1:34min on second try due to practice

    Yeah, that's definitely fair. What I'm annoyed about is the "checkmate, computers" stance, pretending like the problems computers cannot solve could be solved by other means

    Comment #39832751

    I will never understand how people think like that. Sure, there are things computers cannot compute, but that's because those things are _uncomputable_ in general

    I don't believe only turing machines are capable of executing other turing machines... Surely lambda calculus can do the same? I was under the impression, lambda calculus can indee…

    WebAssembly is not without tradeoffs either. I'm not an expert, but it's often heavier due to bundling the native language's stdlib; it's annoying to interop with the browser envir…
