i like it in theory but there’s something in me that doesn’t want emails just discarded like that… i want to be off the list. a personal failing, i’m sure. :)

ah, quarantine makes sense i handle the overload a different way... i age everything out of my inbox one day at a time, each gets a label showing the remaining days; they start at 7 and count down. that way i only ever have 7 days of email

> People shouldn't be able to send emails to you without your prior approval (which you can revoke at an instant). this sounds terrible... i've gotten so many useful random emails from strangers over the years.

sometimes i'll share prompts but but never a whole transcript (have not had a reason to) if i do want to share context i'll use something like "give me a prompt $coworker can share with their claude to continue this work&quot

totally, I see that syncing workflow come up quite a bit as well... some of this stuff is going to get sherlocked into the harness proper (probably a net benefit) though of course people are still going to want the meta-version that works w

semantic search has been pretty good, it usually finds what it's looking for! a couple of times I was certain that there was a session that contained some word but in reality it was in my personal claude.ai web account, so needed to ad

This is rapidly becoming the "todo list demo" of the LLM era... I say this as someone who also built one because I was tired of all the others! ( https://github.com/beaugunderson/obliscence )

Ah, it's an internal tool but maybe worth open-sourcing at some point! :) re: price, definitely on the pricier side relative to our average UAT run but this one was very comprehensive due to the increased risk of issues when changing M

i have a claude-agent-sdk slack bot i built for work; it offers proactive interaction as well but it uses a deterministic filter and then a haiku pass for messages that pass the filter... negligible token cost.

maybe I was on the wrong side of the early release but I’ve deleted this model many times in the last year. I’ve had it for at least 12 months.

worth noting that letterboxd will track progress on these and similar lists, which is how I know I'm 43 films into the AFI100 and 210 into the 1,001: https://letterboxd.com/beaugunderson/stats/#:~:text=LIST%20

30hz is so painfully slow, I can always tell when I'm in power saving mode on the iPhone by that alone. On desktop I can't even do 60hz anymore after switching to a 144hz monitor.

Didn’t expect to see my town on HN! We’re about 10 miles from the Helion plant. The tax revenue from it and the Microsoft and Sabey data centers here are currently the subject of a lawsuit the county is bringing against the port.

Exactly, they're not an alternative to a doctor, which is the point... it's nearly impossible to see a provider these days if you don't have a pre-existing relationship. I moved recently and finding a PCP who is accepting new

As someone who was recently injured and waited three months to see a specialist in Seattle, these lines were not helpful ("yes, you should make an appointment"). The only way I was able to see someone was to write a script that bl

I have not found one since the CA/BF voted to require hardware security modules for signing certificates. The cheapest option for an individual is via Microsoft, $10/month and a relatively painless identify verification lets you d

by beaugunderson 9mo ago
How are they not? :) They set the baseline standard for code signing certificates. In 2020 they added the requirement to use hardware modules which resulted in much higher prices and fewer small developers opting to sign their code.

The CA/BF has a history of terrible decisions, for example 2020's "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Code Signing Certificates". Microsoft voted for it, and now they are basically

I've only needed to use it a couple of times, but sometimes Chrome releases changes that break your website and it's really nice to be able to point to a changeset when you report it. Chrome has its own tool, bisect-builds.py, whi
