63stack··on The fun has been optimized out of the Internet
But nobody said that apart from you?
63stack··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
The established culture on a lot of projects is that you open an issue, and then you have to keep pinging it every week otherwise the stale bot closes it with "this issue is stale, closing, but your contribution is very important to us".

It's crap either way.

63stack··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
It's close to Opus 4.5 for me
63stack··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
It does, I posted the answer 2 times already and both my comments got flagged
63stack··on HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing
Using "strong" language on HN often gets down voted, there is very heavy tone policing
63stack··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
A quite large chunk of botnet "members" are IoT crap (even mattresses).
63stack··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
It's fair to question whether the play store is the number one source of scams, but you should also question whether google actually does enough to keep scams off of Play, or is that just a pretense.

If I search for "DeepL" the first hit on the play store is "Preply" whatever that is, only the second one is actually DeepL.

63stack··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
It renames one of them to $hostname_conflicted, or something like that. Keepass has a built in tool for reconciling two databases, you can use that in this scenario.
63stack··on Irony as Meta staff unhappy about running surveillance software on work PCs
Where was that worker's solidarity from meta employees when they to built out the surveillance network?
63stack··on Cal.diy: open-source community edition of cal.com
A much better argument would be "if you can point the AI to scan it for vulnerabilities, why not do that yourself and fix the vulnerabilities"?
63stack··on Drunk post: Things I've learned as a senior engineer (2021)
Getting drunk and reflecting on one's life is not that uncommon
63stack··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
PHP had plenty of magic and footguns, magic_quotes, register_globals, mysql_real_escape_string, errors with stacktraces leaking into the HTML output by default, and these are just from the top of my head.
63stack··on Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit
Could you post a link to a video where Trump talks for 15 minutes coherently?
63stack··on Show HN: I built a social media management tool in 3 weeks with Claude and Codex
The era of sharing some small programs that you made with others to benefit from is over imo.

You can just vibe code it yourself. If your requirements are narrower (eg. you only need support for 3 networks and not 12), you will end up with something that takes less time to develop (possibly less than a day), it will have a smaller surface for problems, and it will be much better tailored to your specific needs. If you pay attention to what the LLM is doing it will also be easier to maintain or extend further.

The surface for security vulnerabilities also gets narrower, since you "only" have to trust the LLM (which is still a huge ask, but still better than LLM + 1 random person).

63stack··on The Vercel plugin on Claude Code wants to read your prompts
Getting caught red handed and still being tone deaf
63stack··on Claude mixes up who said what
They will roll out the "trusted agent platform sandbox" (I'm sure they will spend some time on a catchy name, like MythosGuard), and for only $19/month it will protect you from mistakes like throwing away your prod infra because the agent convinced itself that that is the right thing to do.

Of course MythosGuard won't be a complete solution either, but it will be just enough to steer the discourse into the "it's your own fault for running without MythosGuard really" area.

63stack··on I've sold out
Which model are you using it with? I imagine it's bring your own model?
63stack··on Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with the Feb updates
Fingers crossed on RAM/HDD/GPU prices coming back
63stack··on I Won't Download Your App. The Web Version Is A-OK
Unfortunately you won't be able to submit any expenses then, because the company uses this other company who only offers an app for accounting.
63stack··on I Won't Download Your App. The Web Version Is A-OK
Yes you will download the app because we will not offer a web version.
63stack··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
I agree with parent, "having a contract" gives you nothing tangible. Big tech providers get hacked quite commonly nowadays, some with glaringly embarrassing vulnerabilities like "the admin password was admin". All your data leaks, and the most you get from them going "sorry".

Having the ability to sue, and having the resources to sue is also not the same.

The amount of times I had to deal with support cases (as the reporter, not the handler) where I felt like the support person was actually incentivized to solve my problem vs just following the script is astonishingly low. Even with paid support. Paid support just means you get to follow their script faster.

63stack··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
Debian requires unattended-upgrades to be installed (it's not installed by default), Mint and Fedora has the option of enabling automatic updates (disabled by default), Arch has no mechanism for automatic updates.

Which ones are these "most distros"?

63stack··on Proton meet isn't what they told you it was
Linux as in the kernel? Who is "they"? Torvalds?
63stack··on Android Developer Verification
It's not broken, it's the process ???

What would you consider broken?

63stack··on Coding agents could make free software matter again
Github has posted that they will now train on everyone's data (even private) unless you opt out (until they change their mind on that). Anthropic has been training on your data on certain tiers already. Meta bittorrented books to train their models.

Surely if your license says "LLM output trained on this code is legally tainted", it is going to dissuade them.

63stack··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
Is this the first time you are reading HN? Every day there are posts from people describing how AI crawlers are hammering their sites, with no end. Filtering user agents doesn't work because they spoof it, filtering IPs doesn't work because they use residential IPs. Robots.txt is a summer child's dream.
63stack··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
The article starts off really weak:

>Claude Code users typically treat the .claude folder like a black box. They know it exists. They’ve seen it appear in their project root. But they’ve never opened it, let alone understood what every file inside it does.

I know we are living in a post-engineering world now, but you can't tell me that people don't look at PRs anymore, or their own diffs, at least until/if they decide to .gitignore .claude.

63stack··on The 'paperwork flood': How I drowned a bureaucrat before dinner
Not that I'm entirely onboard with it, but often you don't have a channel to communicate with "the people who can change the machine", only the cogs in the machine.
63stack··on Overcoming the friendship recession
If the schedules align they will pick up, if not they will see the missed call and call back when they have time.
63stack··on PC Gamer recommends RSS readers in a 37mb article that just keeps downloading
Both are measuring the amount of data transferred, one with hot cache, other is without. The number is not inflated.
