63stack··on Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks
Yes
63stack··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
The person who only sees your contributions once a year should not decide on your promotion.
63stack··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
This is a problem that can be solved by just pressing pause, you don't need ads for this.
63stack··on Factorio that you can touch
Nobody cares about how the game runs on <4GB vram in 2026, upgrade or play something else.
63stack··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
This is a problem you have to solve yourself, without relying on making facial scanning and profiling tech widespread.

The simple solution is that you live with the small amount of awkwardness this generates.

63stack··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
The hypocrisy is that meta is creating a tool that their employees are very uncomfortable seeing used on them.

What the law says about consent is irrelevant to the hypocrisy, and the videos are automatically uploaded to meta without anyone's consent anyway. You know this very well, there is no need to cosplay the smart devil's advocate.

63stack··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
>via our new extensibility system for CC, called Mods, which is launching soon-ish. A mod is a plugin with a new type of hook, which we call a function hook.

An extensibility system called mods, which is a plugin with a new type of hook that we call function hook?

I can't tell if this is real, or you are making fun of overengineered AI solutions.

Is this real?

63stack··on ZuckOff Know when a camera is in the room
Great idea, we could also have a standard in browsers that signals you don't want to be tracked. We could call it the "Do not track" header, short for DNT.

It would make sure no websites track you.

63stack··on How to Write with an LLM
I may not be the one that came up with a thought originally, but I can echo it because I agree with it.
63stack··on Dario, Please
I disagree, the article was straightforward and easy to read.
63stack··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Uncensored
Coming straight from the Anthropic marketing department
63stack··on OpenAI have no mathematicians capable of understanding what they put out
Are there any precedents that companies got sued on this? Not that I doubt you, but it would be nice to see if it actually has teeth or not.
63stack··on How I advertise malicious software on Google Ads
>If we lived in a sane world, people would simply pay for what they use

This is some proper, indoctrinated, corporate bootlicker mentality.

95% of the phones on the market will spy on you, send your data back to the mothership, and they will sell your data to 3rd parties, and they cost $1400-$2000. You pay for the phone which is not even yours after the purchase, and then you still get ads, spied on, and your data sold. Google has a very large monetary incentive already to protect their customers and they do jack shit about the malware/adware in the play store.

TVs are even worse. LG TVs were just found to spy on you and nearby devices while they are off. Do you think those TVs are free? No, they also cost a fortune.

The current state of the world is that even if you pay you will get ads, spying, and malware. Get your head out of your ass.

63stack··on On Really Trying (2009)
Achieving something rather than nothing is obviously better, full stop. Bringing dead parents into this is just self help book literature.
63stack··on I refused to train the AI that could replace me
Most people's existence are very strongly tied to their job. Not being able to pay basic utilities and food just the first examples.

Obviously, nobody is going to blip out of existence when their layoff notice is signed, everyone knows this and nobody claimed that. If you stepped down from your philosophical post humanist highchair a bit, you would realize that.

63stack··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
No search, no making space in an existing page, no moving text around, cumbersome to take it with you everywhere, unlike a phone.
63stack··on Anger, Anxiety and Agency
I'm pretty sure I could post "standing in the fire is painful and bad for your health" and there would at least be one person in the comments saying "I actually like standing in the fire".
63stack··on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint
In order: no, no, no, and no. I accepted that I can't avoid google spying on me on android, if I could have a phone that works with banking apps without google's crap I would, but thanks to their safetynet racket it's not possible for me.
63stack··on Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence
Sure intent matters but I still don't see how this warrants the government going after him.
63stack··on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint
This is not about the products that are shipped, but the app itself. I would caution people to never install it as well.
63stack··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
Oh no fuck that, business 101 is make sure that your checkout page works. There is plenty of competition in this sector, take your money elsewhere.
63stack··on Ask HN: Do you know of any company that went back to hand-written code?
Most places I worked at cared very little for quality code, there was much more pressure on shipping fast even if it meant incurring technical debt, crap performance for end users, or developers leaving due to legacy code accumulation that nobody understood anymore.

I'm glad there is a tool that let's these companies have even shittier code shipped even faster. The faster they burn down the better.

63stack··on How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
You can add "make no mistakes" to the end of the prompt and achieve the same result while burning less tokens.
63stack··on Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)
Are you sceptical if people have slept before 1600, or what's with the "at least?"
63stack··on Illinois just told every operating system to start reporting your kid's age
There should be parental controls that disallows installing apps, so there is no hidden browsers. Google and apple has an entire walled garden infra setup that they are using for control and hoovering up all the user data, the same infra can be uses for this.
63stack··on Web Security is Too Hard
My main takeaway from this is not that "security is hard" but that cloudflare is pretty incompetent.
63stack··on Go 1.27 Interactive Tour
It's also not worth posting "I tried didn't work" because nobody knows what you tried. There is zero information in it, and it's a waste of bits that just pollutes the discussion.
63stack··on Superlogical
Yes. I find it quite funny that 4 people with the flashiest of titles (head of experience?) came up with this amazing plan:

1. it will be incredible

2. it will be composable

3. it will be safe to use in production

I would totally invest millions into these guys, they have a bright future ahead.
