    I’ve been starting companies my whole career. My first real one was a software dev shop while in college, I sold it my senior year and dropped out. It wasn’t much of a financial su…

    Ask HN: Why has ChatGPT disabled links to websites?

    I was just using ChatGPT to help me pick an SDK library. It mentions a few options by name (e.g. Baileys, whatsapp-web.js), but when I click those names rather than opening a brows…

    I think I see the problem… and a possible solution. I think the main problem with attempting to document this is that the system would not be running off of it. Your infrastructure…

    For something like tests, where I have very specific opinions on how I want them written, I have a simple doc (tests.md) and I’ll regularly tag Claude with it. Claude writes a bunc…

    antirez — how do you reliably get Claude to re-read the file after compaction? It's easy to let Claude run for awhile, it compacts and starts getting much worse after compaction, a…

    Run your own server for GitHub Actions. There is a simple library they have you install so your runner gets registered with your repo. Then you can SSH in whenever a job fails. Thi…

    I don’t lock down my kids computer use. I know risks exist, but I think their unrestricted access to computers and the internet is far more beneficial than harmful. I know I’m high…

    (1) and (2) are good points. Particularly 2 because movies may intentionally add steps / slow things down so that a viewer can follow along but this would be at odds to daily use. …

    My assumption is a bit different: the UIs in science fiction are intended to communicate information, now typically that's to advance the storyline but there's a lot of overlap wit…

    I've been keeping an eye on the SDKs for Meta glasses and Even Realities, but they don't yet support much access.

    Ask HN: Why don't sci-fi interfaces ever turn into real products?
