I tried using it, but it didn't work well in my experience. There was be a huge textarea for notes, so I'd write detailed notes after a good conversation, but it didn't auto-save, …

Also a happy Kagi user since 2023, and full disclosure: I participated in their crowdfund, so I have some financial stake in the company that I don't really understand. I'm always …

Yeah, exactly. If there's a C2 server, there's some protocol for communication between the C2 server and each victim node. You can intentionally infect a machine with the malware b…

I think we disagree on the connotation of the word "lead." To me, if someone describes me as a "lead," it implies that they are focused on making the sale rather than on anything e…

OP here. I wrote the post myself with no AI (modulo grammar checks). What makes you think it's AI-generated?

OP here. Thanks for reading! I'm having trouble understanding where we disagree. It seems like you're arguing that she's correct because it was helpful for the mutual acquaintance …

I appreciate the critique! Sometimes when I'm thinking about a blog post, I fall in love with a joke I want to use, but then it constrains how I think about the topic. I still like…

OP here. Thanks for reading! I don't really have anything against the existence of the catchall term "content." Like, I don't expect the CEO of YouTube to say, "music, short film, …

Are you talking about this line? > What Kelley can't do is say, "It's an outright fabrication that Sumner does X today," based on an observation from nine months ago. I think it's …

Right, that part is not in dispute. If Sumner says today, "We do X," then Kelley can say, "Nine months ago, Sumner did not do X," and both can be correct. What Kelley can't do is s…

One of the things I find so disappointing about Kelley's behavior here is that he falsely accused Jarred Sumner of lying about fuzzing Bun, and then when Sumner showed evidence[0] …

I'm having trouble understanding what you mean. If I say, "I run 5 miles every day" and my old neighbor says, "I lived next door to him until 9 months ago, and he definitely doesn'…

Andrew was wrong. He stealth edited his post to hide it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48854921

Yes, "their" refers to Bun's code, not the Zig compiler's code. Fuzzili is a fuzzing engine for JavaScript, so integrating it into Bun means that Fuzzili is fuzzing Bun.[0] From th…
