Cut & Paste always struck me as more of a Windows thing. Which is weird because obviously I can do cmd+X / cmd+V on a mac... I just never do. Instead it's "select" - command+C - delete - cmd+V. Am I the only one who

Exactly the same - took way more work to delete the thing.

Yes, that is precisely what happened. Over and over again. Every time I had to delete it. It was something to do with the way they embedded Google login on the page.

This was worse than that. This was no click. It would literally do it without any intervention as long as I browsed to the page.

LinkedIn is one of the most annoying sites on the internet. Every time I mistakenly click a link, it automatically grabs my Google account and creates a new account and profile for me, which I then have to go in and delete. Yes, I finally f

I wrote a thing about exactly this, but I'm resistant to blogging for undefined reasons so, maybe this will help someone... # AI speech is an Infohazard Apart from all its other possible boons and ills, one danger of AI is just that it

Thank you for engaging with this thoughtfully. You've highlighted the HUGE difference between "bespoke just for me/us" and "product that works for everyone". I've been struggling with this myself, since it

AI + hardware has really helped my wife and I get more sleep. I had an esp32-box-3 lying around from a lapsed "voice agent" project from a year or two ago. Had a baby. Baby moved to another room, sleep trained. Baby either: 1. wak

Pi is my daily driver. I noticed the same phenomenon, and had Claude analyze all my past transcripts for classes of 'edit' error. Built an extension which patches the edit tool to self-heal on the majority of those kinds of calls.

I've always wondered what "illegal" means in this context? Is it designed to just be a pejorative, or something incendiary? When is an invasion "legal"? I can't really think of any case where any kind of recogn

That unsubscribe rule is genius. (Obvious in hindsight, as the best things are.) Thanks for that.

Thank you, yes. I was very confused.

This interaction was a delightful example of life in 2026 - the disparity between what AI can do, and what and how we use AI. (Which I like to term for myself "Phenomenal cosmic powers!... Itty bitty living space.")

Really lovely article. In paramedicine we usually treat 10g of acetaminophen in a 24-hour window as a potentially fatal overdose. That's also why the law in Australia was changed to require acetaminophen to come in blister packs (harde

Growing up we learned about _Slaughterhouse 5_ and _Cat's Cradle_ by Kurt Vonnegut. But there's not enough discussion or awareness of _Player Piano_. Incredibly prescient. These kinds of dystopic headlines are exactly the kind of

Thanks for all the kind words. I would love to work on this more but the hackathon sprint was really all I had time for (note the newborn in the video...) without more backing / support. I was really bummed that the hackathon rejected

Paper Computing (great name!) is something I've been thinking about a lot to help my kids benefit from tech without exposing them to the brain melting addiction of screens. I sacrificed a few crazy nights of sleep to try to build a Pap

Thanks, this might be exactly what I'm looking for. I see you have support for vanilla js and svelte, but it's unclear whether you can get all the same functionality if you don't use React. Is React the only first class citiz

Thanks, this helped crystallize something for me: the play the AI labs are making is anti-fragile (in the Nassim Taleb sense): > The very act of resisting feeds what you resist and makes it less fragile to future resistance. At least alo

Thanks for that. And here I was somehow hanging around on 4.5.3.

I've never yet been "that guy" on HN but... the title seems misleading. The actual title is "A Ramsey-style Problem on Hypergraphs" and a more descriptive title would be "All latest frontier models can solve a

Lately my favorite podcast to listen to has been the audio version of Zvi's blog: https://dwatvpodcast.substack.com/p/claude-code-claude-cowor... . It's AI narrated, but at this point if I heard Zvi's ac

I've been thinking about sovereign AI a lot lately. About a year ago I was wondering what each country would be doing, and looking at places like e.g. Australia (which has pretty strict data residency laws for certain industries) - at

Seems like you and the author are doing the same thing: speaking in absolutes. It's possible for "Anthropic" (or the summed vector of all the human decision makers within it) to have contracted with the military because it wa

Unfortunately it still fails my personal SVG benchmark (educational 2d cross section of the human heart), even after multiple iterations and screenshots feedback. Oh well, back to the (human) drawing board.

It sounds really cool, but I don't see any way of trying the model directly. I don't actually want a "Persona" or "Replica" - I just want to use the sparrow-one model. Is there any way to just make API calls to

Do you have anything written up about how you're doing this? Curious to learn more...
