I've been using a project called SX https://github.com/sleuth-io/sx to manage them. It has its quirks, but overall I find it to be very useful. One thing I've had to write as a layer on top of it is a way to

Agreed, and then the actual text of the post gets worse. It’s actually unreadable; I literally could not follow what the article was about (without putting in the effort to unravel the Claudisms, a little like unraveling Shakespeare or Finn

“Every tool is scar tissue over a real wound. Follow the wounds, and the map draws itself. THE ONE IDEA THAT UNLOCKS EVERYTHING” uh-huh I have noticed myself having a visceral reaction to the AI tells now, somewhere between disgust and ange

“the matchup feels earned” is a current AI-written tell. To whom does it feel earned? To the AI that wrote this article? I don’t know what it is specifically, but my weak human pattern-matching skills find this kind of language increasingly

The same is true of humans, not surprisingly. If you ask the average human "Why?", they will generally get defensive, especially if you are asking them to justify their own motivation. However, if you ask them to describe the thin

Gender is mutable. Sex is determined by genetics, though in a handful of creatures, sex could be considered mutable.

Yeah this is a good one. I’ll add it. It really is so bizarre, it takes like three unlocks.

I thought about adding that bug but it seemed like “search doesn’t work in this other thing” was just going to get repetitive (despite being true and annoying AF) and I had already spent way more time on it than I should have. Put in a pull

Huh. How else would you get a massive company that has let certain bugs sit for decades to address them? This method is probably just as ineffective as reporting another bug into the Black Hole of Bug Reports that is Apple, but this one is

You're not wrong — but actually the prompt I gave it was "invert Apple's design style." I think it did a reasonable job?

There’s also Rivian. My R1S is my favorite car I’ve ever owned and this is going to be their “Model 3 year” when the R2 comes out. There’s also Lucid and Zoox. And the Chinese manufacturers, of course. If you haven’t been outside the US lat

Agree completely. Every human is successful at some things and incompetent at others. I am not making any assumptions of malice, unless we’re getting into “malice is just a perspective, there is no such thing as malice, it’s just your inter

Sorry, no. Hanlon's razor is usually smart and correct, for the majority of cases, including this one. In this case, it is a huge stretch to ascribe DOGE to incompetence or to stupidity. Thus, we CAN ascribe it to malice. Elon Musk a

I think literally this whole post is about doing stuff on your iPhone that Apple doesn’t want you to do. So maybe start with TFA?

"Stupid" doesn't seem to be the right word to apply to a man who has managed to (annoyingly) command the attention of the entire world and who has gotten himself elected as the most powerful man in the world twice . I do not

Traveling to other cultures involves being exposed to seeing things you aren’t accustomed to. In many ways, that is the whole point. I’m not defending the Faroese here (nor casting aspersions on them, either), more just saying that it’s you

It definitely depends on what circles you run in. When someone I know or is a degree of separation away from me pulls out a PC, it is always a little bit of a surprise.

Or run your legal questions through a frontier model and then have a lawyer verify the answers. You can save a lot of money and time. Yes, all LLM caveats apply. Due your diligence. But they are quite good at this now.

A million years ago in AI time, AKA yesterday, there was a HN post from John Carmack talking about how Meta wasted a ton of time and money making XROS and how nowadays it doesn’t make any sense to write a new OS [1]. And then this post toda

This is the way Claude Code should Just Work™. Thanks for making and sharing. Hopefully someone from Anthropic sees this and incorporates it (and gives you credit and/or a job!)

That’s a safety thing that we have placed upon some LLM’s. If we designed them to have an infinite for loop, the ability to learn and improve, access to mobility and a bunch of sensors, and crypto, what do you think would happen?

Helen Keller famously said that before she had language (the first word of which was “water”) she had nothing, a void, and the minute she had language, “the whole world came rushing in.” Perhaps we are not so very different?

Your butt does not do that. If you are relatively fit, there often is a butt crack gap on top of the bowl. Butt much worse, there is also a bigger gap between the seat and the bowl. If you go from the back there is more toilet bowl in front
