adithyassekhar··on Show HN: AI Law Tracker – one audited API for US, EU and global AI law
Would you use this yourself? Would you trust your own project for legal advice?

I’m the resident “Claude designed this” guy but I am not even going to bring the frontend design up.

As another commenter said, you claim ~1250 laws manually verified, is there a name for the person who verified this? Will they be willing to put their reputation behind it?

Laws are the easiest thing to hallucinate due to them worded the same way an llm talks.

You can’t take people’s money and say “ This is not legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for specific legal decisions.”

The fonts the layouts it all screams claude at me.

I still can’t put a finger on it. I’ve seen real people use these fonts and layouts yet theirs look original.

Whoever finds an explanation for this solves AGI (/s)

adithyassekhar··on The zero-cost fallacy: open-source software in the agentic era
That is amazing, I am surprised how the other replies to your comment just ignore that aspect pf it.
adithyassekhar··on Are we offloading too much of our thinking to AI?

adithyassekhar··on Using PowerShell over SSH, Twenty Years Later
That is true. Though i still use some kind of pseudo code to talk to claude, its just easier for me to explain a function that way than describing it.

Use reader view on your browser of choice.
adithyassekhar··on Using PowerShell over SSH, Twenty Years Later
I’m glad the default ssh shell is cmd. I know it like the back of my hand. I am much better at remembering commands and flags (rd, -h) than phrases that feels like regular conversation (Remove-Item?).

Maybe I’m old, I like to keep “software talk” for software and “people talk” for people.

It does. But I’ve seen it so many times now.

I like the article but “ Bricolage Grotesque” and the claude background colour just puts me off.

I think they are all bots or threatened to see their little hobby now being accessible, classic gatekeeping.

I swear if I see one more “Bricolage Grotesque” and Inter website.. this is just what claude gives if you couldn’t be bothered to tell it what you want. Why is this even here?

I feel openai in general is much more open and real business like compared to anthropic. They’re just a black box.

adithyassekhar··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
The plans on first glance is the same as Anthropic’s. I thought GLM was supposed to be cheaper. Am I missing something?

Because that AI will either expose their business or it will be so nerfed it’s useless.

Too much text to explain to people who don’t need that much explaining. That’s the telltale sign of ai writing (ai intended).

I’m no longer in college still, The day I longer have to worry about putting a meal on my table, I’ll treat college as this fantasy “thirst for knowledge” thing as some of the commenters here suggest. Till then, it’s just a meal ticket.
adithyassekhar··on Choosing a Public DNS Resolver
Should add one more filter: EDNS client subnets.

Some like cloudflare doesn’t support that in the name of privacy.

EDNS lets the dns server of the site you are visiting know from where you are connecting and can give you the closest server. 1.1.1.1 does not do that. This breaks all sorts of ISP cache and peering arrangements.

Here’s an example: My ISP’s google global cache is broken every time I use cloudflare. With google dns, opendns, isp’s own dns I get my ISP’s own ip address for the domain “googlevideo.com” which is where youtube videos load from. With cloudflare dns I get an ip address of an actual google server which may or may not be in my country. Result: my downloads from google drive/youtube/play store all are faster with a dns server with proper EDNS support.

Now imagine this on a global scale for smaller websites, your request might go to a different continent.

I understand the product decision for cloudflare and I don’t want them to change but this is something people should know about. There are numerous reports on their forums which are always locked with no activity.

I am not saying it’s a conspiracy but this doesn’t affect sites on cloudflare btw due to their global anycast routing/infra setup which I don’t know enough to explain.

No the server is getting an ipv6 address and verified on those test sites. This seems bad routing.

adithyassekhar··on Google Hits 50% IPv6
Whenever I turn on ipv6 on my router (isp supports it, dual stack) randomly I get half the download speeds, YouTube video freezes, and eventually a captcha screen on google. The moment I disable v6 even only at the client side I get to max out my bandwidth. Tested on google drive, sites on azure and aws and netflix’s fast.com which show’s your ip just to confirm I was connecting over v6.
