Yes, I’d read it. But beware of opinions. Don’t let people put you down, especially here in HN, where people are perceived to smart. Smart doesn’t equal sensible or unbiased. Many books are written to scratch the itch of the author. Just li

At the end of the day, it is my job as a parent to steer my kids out of harm’s way, be it the alley where they will find the local dealer, the park where people are injecting at night, or not stuffing their faces with sugar, or social media

Claude Code is not just a harness. It is a different product. You pick the smallest subscription that allows you to do your work. My “multiplier” on a $100 subscription is 5+. If you’re using API, on the other hand, there is absolutely no r

I use both Claude and Codex, but mostly Claude for planning and coding, and Codex to review Claude’s work. I follow a sort of waterfall workflow which is verbose but fully transparent. Anthropic’s $100 subscription works fine for me, but wh

ORMs have their place but they are leaky as hell. RDMSs are very diverse, have different languages, and require different optimisation techniques. ORMs that try to paper over all the differences fail miserably. They become super complicated

Great stuff, well done and super useful!

Tools that remove the fat seem like a good idea, but I’m highly suspicious of their effect on the LLM’s reasoning. LLMs were trained in the typical full-fat output found everywhere on the internet, and all of sudden they get a slightly diff

Not exactly. Apple kept it for existing users but stopped offering it to new users. So new users are vulnerable.

I think this is very interesting but you need a better slogan. Many people here made comments such as “why do I need another SVC since agents are pretty good with git”, which means they barely read your blurb and did not understand your pro

I don’t know if you are a parent of teenagers. Where I live in the UK, teenagers don’t use phone. They only communicate via chat. Relatively large sample (several schools, year groups, ages, etc) but single area. If you don’t have kids, may

I let her have WhatsApp when she was 13. She’s autistic and couldn’t disconnect at all. Her friends got pissed off with her because of something that was said on a chat. She lost her friends at school and ended up being bullied. Masked pret

None of this prohibition works. Kids will find ways around it, authorities will get stricter, rinse and repeat. A total shitshow. A lot of people mentioning off-license/booze/tobacco like that was a success story. It isn’t. Outsid

I got tired of Claude adding their signatures to my commits against my instructions (the settings schema changed at some point), so I added a commit-msg hook that blocks multi-line commits. Easy and works like a charm, and would block this

I think of my iPhone as a phone plus a mobile browser plus a biometric device. It has a lot of memory and a lot of compute power but that is just because all the crap sites and apps out there, unnecessary animations, etc. One could also cla

Fair enough. My kids are learning to drive and “how fast should I go” is a constant topic in my family right now. Just yesterday I saw a learner driving at what seemed 10 mph in a 40 mph road, creating a massive queue.

Not American, buddy, so I don’t have skin in the game. But it looks extremely bad when people who got rich in the Silicon Valley engage in politics like this. Even if one disagrees with a billionaire tax, I’m sure there are better ways to e

That is pretty sad. People would rather spend money on political activism instead of supporting their home state. Imagine if they said instead - no need for tax, here is 15 billion to fund the schools. They could be heroes but choose to be

Two marathons will never be run in the same conditions, that is the nature of outdoor sports. Besides weather, there are loads of factors in the performance: shoes, clothes, food, etc. So basically every record gets an asterisk?

Damn was thinking km/h. Thanks for the correction.

~~A car going as fast as him would have gotten a speeding ticket in the residential areas of Wales. Crazy.~~ Edit: I was thinking in km/h and mixed it up. Sorry.

I love programming, but I don’t love working. I’m about 10 years away from retiring and can’t wait. Does that count? ;-)

AI isn’t creating the problem, it is just showing the problem. Those who did not want to learn before AI did so reluctantly, mixing Google and SO. Now they ask AI. An existing problem found a new solution. Personally, I really enjoy using A

The same “forgetting pattern” can be said of assembly, hardware, combustion cars, radio, heck, even making fire. There will always be specialists who can really debug stuff. Mechanics, etc. Time moves on, and we need to move with it. I’m am

This is stupid. Smoking has high social negative externality. It causes cancer to the smoker and to others around the smoker. Who pays for the treatment of those affected? All tax payers. Want to die? Die fast, not in a way that waste every

All the memories Claude created for me fell in the category remember-to-not-forget, so I disabled it altogether.

Isn’t “memory” just another markdown file that the LLM reads when starting a new session? I keep two files in each project - AGENTS (generic) and PROJECT (duh). All the “memory” is manually curated in PROJECT, no messy consolidation, no Rus

School was like that back in Brazil in the 80s. Don’t get the grade, try again. And again. And again. Until you do. That is the real “not left behind”.
