1f60c··on Xcode 27.1 Beta Release Notes
It also happens to look ugly AF. Even WhatsApp gets it right.
1f60c··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
> welfare

We should be paying attention to it just in case it ends up mattering enormously. It's cheap insurance.

Aside from that, US labs' system cards have been pretty useless for a while—I think the last great one was the combined system card for Claude 4 Sonnet and Opus.

1f60c··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
The specific wording sounded a bit judgy to me as well, but I think it's a totally reasonable question. They're just asking about the capability of a product.
1f60c··on _for-sale DNS records
I tried to register a domain like acme.stream through Cloudflare Registrar and it asked me to affirm I had Acme Widgets Corp.'s permission [edit: I might be wrong about this part, since I'm in a totally different niche, but the pop-up freaked me out]. I went with a different domain.
1f60c··on DEA to Temporarily Schedule 7-Oh and Related Substances to Protect Public Safety
Evan Edinger (who is 35) was addicted to it (see YouTube link).
1f60c··on Beer CSS – Build material design in record time
Reminds me of https://getmdl.io (RIP :()
1f60c··on Om Malik has died
Oh my God. Oh no. Rest in peace :(
1f60c··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Not really.

Data mining for AI is presumably fair use, whereas when you sign up for a Claude account, you enter into a legally binding contract that says you will not distill a model based on its outputs.

1f60c··on In memory of the man who put red and green squiggles under words
Wait, that's illegal.
1f60c··on Storied Colors – A catalogue of named colors
"One color a day, told as it ought to be told: with its provenance, its chemistry, and the people who paid for it in poison." is so Claude it hurts. :'D
1f60c··on TIL: You can make HTTP requests without curl using Bash /dev/TCP
Also http://detectportal.firefox.com. And http://neverssl.com was set up for this purpose while being a bit easier to remember :)
1f60c··on Feds freaked over Fable 5 after 'fix this code', not jailbreak, say researchers
I would add "...especially considering this administration thinks AI regulation is a scam invented by Big China to slow down American innovators?"
1f60c··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
It came back, died, and now it's back as some kind of weird AI-focused news aggregator.
1f60c··on OneDrive data now has an expiry date
Nah, this is just slop.

Took me 10 seconds to find this better link: https://mc.merill.net/message/MC1381110

1f60c··on Running Adobe's 1991 PostScript Interpreter in the Browser
> 502 Bad Gateway

People must really love PostScript!

1f60c··on Microsoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal
Wait, I thought OpenAI had to pay Microsoft until AGI was achieved or something? Am I misremembering? Is that a different thing?
1f60c··on Eden AI – European Alternative to OpenRouter
The point is also that you don't have to sign up for AWS, and GCP, and Azure, and Alibaba, and Nebius…

And, more importantly, that you can use the existing OpenAI SDK for your language but swap models (even across providers) by changing one line of code.

You're paying for convenience, yes, but model routers solve a real problem.

1f60c··on JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware
Is this the extension that Arc installs when you open DevTools? Not great...
1f60c··on Got kicked out of uni and had the cops called for a social media website I made
I ain't reading all that, but do you really think it wise to recreate TheFacebook in 2026?
1f60c··on Gemma 4 on iPhone
Strangely, reasoning is not on by default. If you enable it, it answers as you'd expect.
1f60c··on UUID package coming to Go standard library
I think I read something once about using v7 internally and exposing v4 in your API.
1f60c··on GPT‑5.3 Instant
Not super likely, I would say. We knew 5.3 was coming for a while and sama cannot stop talking about the current situation on X.
1f60c··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Using its own TERM is a deliberate design decision. I don't remember how to fix the terminal database, but it's pretty easy (your favorite search engine or LLM should be able to help you there).
1f60c··on Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts
I TRUSTED YOU! Nooooooooo!

Anyway, I hope you're happy.

(I thought it would show me a TOS prompt again, but it did not. My bad.)

1f60c··on Show HN: Better Hub – A better GitHub experience
As the help text explains, you can tap to select or unselect any permissions beyond the basics. (Which are admittedly still quite broad.)

You can also use a PAT but that's already too much friction for me for something like this.

1f60c··on Show HN: CIA World Factbook Archive (1990–2025), searchable and exportable
Yes, that is correct.
1f60c··on Meta to retire messenger desktop app and messenger.com in April 2026
Straight from the Zuck's mouth: https://facebook.com/help/messenger-app/804132271957789?cms_...

"Look ma, no wings!"

:D

1f60c··on OpenAI should build Slack
FWIW, they do: https://openai.enterprise.slack.com/
1f60c··on Cache Monet
I think GP is referring to the name of the site, which sounds like "cash money" if you pronounce it with a thick American accent.
