“Autoplay” and YouTube case in point: - Autoplay transitioned to a per-device setting… suddenly default-on on every new device you log in to. - Watching a video with computer-to-TV account connection? Automatic “TV queue,” a concept absent

Pray tell, what output style does the job?

The writing style is extremely frustrating/maddening! I’ve tried so many things and I have to beat Opus 5/Fable 5 over their head every time. With Opus 5, the failure to actually improve the writing is borderline comical. Both mod

Fascinating! I am glad you’re getting good results with that. Maintaining abstractions is critical and it’s very frustrating when the LLM ignores them.

The emdash allergy is shortcut sheep mindset. Emdashes are commonly accepted and orthographically correct punctuation in many languages. Also it looks like English might not be the author’s first language—might not lead to the best training

I disagree with the naysayers. The README was scannable and sectioned so I could read what I wanted. But some things I wish were clearer, and I’m not sure they would be if you wrote it by hand. Don’t waste your time rewriting it by hand jus

If you’re using the pi.dev harness, I found this tool to be quite good as a compaction alternative: https://pi.dev/packages/pi-blackhole — it keeps a memory so every prior conversation piece is recallable, not lost.

Try running your rule files through an LLM for optimization. 60k-80k tokens is massive. Funnily enough, most anti-slop skills I found are both way too verbose and miss some common slop constructs. I also reduced many rules from “When doing

I think that the gallup poll is flawed because it does not explain what daylight saving versus standard time is. I just spoke to an educated grad student, who thought that we were in standard time right now. Because the sun is out later du

That’s a bold claim to make about HNers. Au contraire, security companies have absolutely missed supply chain attacks. Example: https://snyk.io/blog/node-gyp-supply-chain-compromise-self-p... Before that we had event-s

It’s rational to feel much safer in the Java packages ecosystem, where pinned versions are the default and the norm, and packages cannot run any install-time scripts.

And that’s exactly why semantic versioning provides only an illusion of stability. This is also why ecosystems that don’t pin their versions such as floating versions that are the default in JavaScript ecosystems are so much more vulnerable

Delaying non-security updates has the benefit of not wasting a team’s time when something regresses and is fixed in a quick follow up patch. Having to report issues upstream is not free.

Don't store any secrets in your repo. Don't store them in env vars. Strong long passphrase on your SSH keys, stop using unencrypted SSH keys. Everything in a keychain. The practice of storing secrets in a .gitignore'd .env.l

Pi.dev requires some plugins to work well. Using Qwen3.6-27B/35B locally at Q8, I was quite frustrated with failed tool calls and tried many things. Ultimately this combo worked: 1. https://pi.dev/packages/pi-tool

Lock files were begrudgingly introduced after people who aren’t playing around with move fast and break things cried foul about dependencies being updated unexpectedly. The “semantic versioning” dogma and the illusion of safety that it brin

I asked Claude to set up a new NPM project and it configured the install task as “npm ci || npm install”, which is stupid. That was on Opus4.7 xhigh. When I pointed out that doing so defeats the purpose, it said “oh yeah of course.” Turns o

Never use “npm install”, only “npm ci”. Using “npm install” is a willing act to run fresh exploits.

Merge queues are not as frequently used… ~2000 PRs affected over 4 hours. I reckon that’s on the order of 10 commits per tenant. It’s a feature with low traction, probably because it creates more problems than it solves.

Kotlin’s closed-by-default design choice makes it worse than Java, and thus not strictly better than Java. It’s premature optimization, and a design-up-front-influenced paranoia/fear of any extension in not-designed-for places. But whe

It’s impossible to install XCode without an Apple account. It’s only distributed through the Mac App Store, and downloads from Mac App Store require an Apple ID. And even XCode beta downloads are locked behind an Apple login. You can instal

It’s because when placed inside the engine bay, the large wiring harness is shorter, which is not only cheaper, but also shorter wiring helps with the consistency of electrical timing and reduces noise.

Yes they do. They can tolerate engine bay heat, but not exhaust heat. They are usually shielded from getting soaked. Some Mazdas put the metal-cased engine computer in a plastic air box that feeds cold air from the front, to help ensure the

I disagree with the downvotes, but let me put it differently: if you don’t understand, have reviewed and be ready to own all of LLM output (the thoughtful part), then you aren’t owned the time to read them. If you didn’t try to reign in t

Apple container CLI configures internal domains (`container system dns`) by adding an internal resolver and it worked for me when I specified an actual domain previously handled by external DNS and it showed up as a custom resolver. Here’s
