Trufa··on Gemini 4 Argon
In my experience, for like a week until the nerf it.
Trufa··on Ask HN: What are you reading?
I really enjoyed them as audiobooks.

There was a particular "Prepotente" moment that made laugh so loud i was honestly embarrassed of the sound I made in the caffe, I'm really not easily embarrassed.

Trufa··on Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy
I literally couldn’t read this page because of the amount of ads.
Trufa··on Herdr: One terminal to rule them all
I couldn't ever for the life of me incorporate tmux into my muscle memory, tmux came naturally so did herdr that just clicked.

Can't tell you what it is, brain wired like that or smth.

Trufa··on Taking a walk may lead to more creativity than sitting, study finds (2014)
This is not what this means. This is not, "had an idea by walking", this means, I can prove the absurdity of certain philosophical ideas by just common sense observation (roughly).
Trufa··on Alignment pretraining: AI discourse creates self-fulfilling (mis)alignment
It makes sense, I really like it when it misaligns, and doesn't do what i tell it to do, but does what I intended to say, it happens pretty often that I'm not precise but any smart entity would understand what I meant.
Trufa··on Fisker went bankrupt and owners built an open source car company from the ashes
How involved is the software in the car, any while driving features? I'd be a little bit afraid of getting in that car even with the best efforts of the community, maybe it's not really for driving, i'd be even more nervous to get in a car with no updates, but still.
Trufa··on HTML Lists
people who use css are not welcome here.
Trufa··on HTML Lists
blink wont work, but marquee will
Trufa··on Chess puzzle I found in my dad's old book
Mildly related, if anyone want another chess minigame (I did this just in case).

Trufa··on Anthropic installed a spyware bridge on my machine?
Yes, very possibly bloatware fits it more, a shit pattern, and very dubious behavior but not necessarily spyware.
Trufa··on Claude Code Found a Linux Vulnerability Hidden for 23 Years
What is with negativity against AI in YC? Can anyone point a finger of why this anti take is so prominent? We're living through the most revolutionary moment of software since it's its inception and the main thing that gets consistently upvoted is negativity, FUD and it doesn't work in this case, or it's all slop.
Trufa··on Neovim 0.12.0
Use no plugins, install Zellij (or tmux) and use in split panes, works great.
Trufa··on Pretext: TypeScript library for multiline text measurement and layout
I said it elsewhere but will repeat it here:

This is incredibly impressive, many of this things have been missing for forever! I remember the first time I couldn't figure out how do a proper responsive accordion, it was with bootstrap 1, released in 2011 !! Today it's still not properly solved (until now?).

Many of thing things belong in css no in js, but this has been the pattern with so many things in the web

1) web needs evolve into more complex needs 2) hacky js/css implementation and workarounds 3) gets implemented as css standard

This is a not so hacky step 2. Really impressive,

I would have thunk that if this was actually possible someone would have done it already, apparently not, at some point I really want to understand what's the real insight in the library, their https://github.com/chenglou/pretext/blob/main/RESEARCH.md is interesting, they seem to have just done the hard work, of browser discrepancies to the last detail of what does an emoji measure in each browser, hope this is not a maintenance nightmare.

All in all this will push the web forward no doubt.

Trufa··on The bot situation on the internet is worse than you could imagine
I felt a vibe change, some are obvious and some not, but it does feel different, the main change i've seen is in downvotes, I don't say very controversial things and have had many things very quickly downvoted, and then slowly upvoted, I think hn was very slow to downvote in the past (except obvious trolls/spam). So for me the main worry is not even the comments, but the invisible bias generated by voting.
Trufa··on Claude loses its >99% uptime in Q1 2026
I honestly feel like it's more honest status measure than many status pages I know.
Trufa··on Claude Code Cheat Sheet
can you pop?
Trufa··on OpenClaw is a security nightmare dressed up as a daydream
I wonder how many inherently unsolvable problems have been fixed before.
Trufa··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6
To being able to determine it's really good.
Trufa··on TUI Studio – visual terminal UI design tool
I think your comment is nonsensical.

Zellij among is a great example, I can do everything with my keyboard, but every now and them I'm already with the mouse and just click a tab or pane, no functionality lost, just added, why the need to make a cutoff philosophical/semantic hard argument?

Trufa··on Throwing away 18 months of code and starting over
Two different stages of the project, not necessarily contradictory. I'm not saying this is great, but tests make a whole lot more sense when you know what you're building.
Trufa··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Thank you for you answer, I had misunderstood the main objective of where it was meant to be applied, this makes sense!
Trufa··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Disclaimer: I am not the maintainer of anything terminal related, it's just an intuition.

Let's say I'm the creator of ghostty "competition".

The fact that is has the same name, could feel if I change that:

- Maybe my users start thinking why don't I use ghostty instead - Will the maintainers of libghostty chose more oriented to ghostty than for my terminal?

It's a half assed analogy, but think if Google's V8 would be called ChromeEngine instead of V8.

Trufa··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Do you think there's entry barrier, even if pride based or psychological, to the fact that libghostty is called so rather that something more generic?

Let's say I'm the creator of Alacritty, would I have more problems adding libghostty than it's generically named identical counterpart libtermengine?

Trufa··on Layoffs at Block
@grok remove the corporate jargon and explain it in a direct and candid way in a single sentence

@grok We're slashing the company from 10k to under 6k people because AI plus tiny teams now let us do the same work with way fewer bodies, and the CEO would rather gut half the staff in one brutal move than bleed out slowly over years.

I am curious why this got so popular, it really is the same thing, am I missing something? Is it because of elon/jack dynamics?

Trufa··on I found a useful Git one liner buried in leaked CIA developer docs
The amount of little tools I'm creating for myself is incredible, 4.6 seems like it can properly one/two shot it now without my attention.

Did you open source that one? I was thinking of this exact same thing but wanted to think a little about how to share deps, i.e. if I do quick worktree to try a branch I don't wanna npm i that takes forever.

Also, if you share it with me, there's obviously no expectations, even it's a half backed vibecoded mess.

Trufa··on Magnus Carlsen Wins the Freestyle (Chess960) World Championship
There's a sharp decline with age. Magnus himself says he's not as sharp as he was younger, even if he can compensate with experience.
Trufa··on Skip the Tips: A game to select "No Tip" but dark patterns try to stop you
I'm really not trying to hate, I think you method is great and I love that you have rationalized it, but as someone whose mostly find this kind of social interactions natural, there's something "funny" about finding the algorithm for it. I never did the math and always naturally landed more or less there.
Trufa··on “Nothing” is the secret to structuring your work
I never got the hand of tmux, and I really tried, but zellij clicked immediately
Trufa··on “Nothing” is the secret to structuring your work
Sure, I have to change a lot of contexts, and each contexts has a lot of sections.

So basically I have

- A session for dev

   - each tab is a service

       - each service has a pane, vim, claude code, runner (npm run dev, go run etc)
- A session for devops

    - vim
    - staing
    - prod
- Other services that are not so day to day -vim

- Misc
