Yeah. Maybe to add to that: I like my current job, and I consider myself a steward of the codebases that I'm a stakeholder in (I want it to be good). There's little space for stewa…

I generally agree that software has been getting worse, and AI isn't the cause, necessarily, but certainly is accelerating the decay. Maybe a corollary to the growth of programmers…

I'd be interested in seeing your prompts, out of curiosity. Either way I had a good laugh when I realized it wasn't going to end and getting the coins/tokens was pointless.

For a period of time, I was graphing HN AI sentiment on BULL/BEAR LOVE/HATE axes. https://r5d.me/vibeschism/ The mania and lament continues at full speed, I suppose. And related to…

Bubble stress test, stage 1.

Not all prompts require the same compute, and Gemma-4B runs on our phones with parity output for ordinary 1-5 sentence queries. The common use case of Google-style queries is alrea…

Yeah this is context poisoning, not model poisoning, which is way, way more effective. Google and Reddit have contracts: Google has official scraping access to Reddit (probably mor…

If you're implying that it's a violation of the original hacker ethos, I disagree. "Information wants to be free" is a small part of the hacker ethos venn diagram. There are many h…

As far as I'm aware, "source of truth" refers to data/code that drives the actual app, so Figma could never be a source of truth (Figma is a reference of what the app data/code is …

Pretty cool to see stacks being given due attention. Also check out git-spice, which works with Gitlab (possibly others). Personally I use git-spice in place of all the conventiona…

I got to the second section before I decided to scan how long it was, saw a wall of text, and decided that this article was low taste. Moreover, the submitter of this article (prob…

I'm not sure I believe them though, at face value anyway. Or at least, I would suspect the entire spectrum of levels 0-9 are constantly at play at Anthropic (or any sizeable compan…

I can confirm that tool calls failed for me (Ubuntu server with charmbracelet/crush, if that matters)

I know that it's discourteous to write-off a potentially valuable project because the release post showed a lack of self-awareness, but I think it's indicative of the larger strugg…

This is good info, thanks. Can I ask how you detected that version of axios? I checked the source (from another comment) and the package.json dependencies are empty....

I couldn't tell from the title whether is was client or the server code (although map file and NPM were hints). Looks like the client code, which is not as exciting.

Yeah, additionally gemini.google.com is also free unauthenticated, which I've been using for a very long time (a year?). Why this is being treated as news is confusing.

For sure, source is now available here https://hn-trustspark.com/src/ I can figure out how to shasum/sig the extension for heightened trust.

No problem at all! I didn't mean to be accusatory. And I wouldn't say inspecting the plugin code is against my wishes at all, no, definitely keep that hacker spirit alive! And feel…
