This also results in a per-string just intonation ;)

Running bash inside zsh continuously destroyed my history for the last 3 years until I figured that HISTFILE was exported and inherited by bash.

My local grocery store goes a bit further, selling € 280-350 laptops with 4 GB RAM and Win11 preinstalled. Absolutely bonkers.

At a glance the repo feels like a meticulous forensic investigation, but I couldn't find any photographs or other information about the alleged drone capture and where all this information is actually sourced from.

I really like your analogy as-is, but LLMs aren't reliable power tools. Asking for external help requires good communication and can be overkill for small tasks. Hiring a team of subcontractors carries risks unless you babysit the whol

Dan, your HN comments are a collection of beautiful essays that is becoming a reference library for healthy discourse. I think it deserves a dedicated website.

"Heavy-duty" calls for exaggerated impact and prestige. "Tony pioneered the famous red-and-green squiggles of Microsoft Word, empowering millions of users with a spell-checking revolution."

The conclusion conflicts oddly with the author's arguments and interests. Attributing LLM usage would actually help the author avoid articles even touched by LLMs, but they indirectly admit being haphazardly dismissive. Their argume

I really like this idea of rapidly extensible software, a browser is a nice sandbox for it! Models also seem to be much better at generating programs than "manually" executing a described task.

Lightweight browser extensions generated on demand, now there's a good use case for what they seem to be actually building. Extending applications without having to launch a full agentic IDE. Macos is already very well equipped with GU

I laughed on the groundbreaking emphasis that you can move and resize the chat window because it's a Mac. You're up to something, maybe they really have a broken pseudo-window with basic UI interaction hacked on top.

My impression was that they're doubling down on that horrid Liquid glass. Apparently there's a new fancy slider for making it more (but not completely) opaque? Did I miss an option for turning it off?

It's funny how well this reflects the contrast in internet advice between Windows and Linux issues. All users deserve advice beginning with thorough sanity-checks and potential quick-fixes before having to dig deeper. Searching about c

Allegation of severe HN censorship. Further speculation on the political motives inside Y Combinator.

You are controlling your emotions with that technique, accepting and waiting emotions out is just not the only option. Getting indoors from a cold rain is an obvious choice. I can't really decide to stop shivering, but changing my cl

I hate generic name-text-submit-forms as the only method of contact. Somehow the article makes them the definition of not a "f** off contact page" - why? I think such forms are a direct downgrade from providing an email address.

Even worse, dry heaping spoonfuls easily get 2-4x the volume of liquids fitting the same spoon. We can't just guess the recipe's teaspoon standard and blindly convert everything to mL.

I don't think data leak extortioners have any incentive to even pretend they won't keep asking further payment. Why not just offer a monthly subscription "service"?

For tracking to be at all effective, this requires the user to log all of their transactions thoroughly and accurately. Personally I'd never remember to update the logs immediately after a purchase during the day. Logging transactions

We read and write so much more English than Finnish when working with software, so the English terms bubble up naturally. I have a strong dislike against setting the language of my OS, or most applications, to Finnish. Application translati
