Consulting a lawyer would most likely be more expensive than whatever small claims compensation one would potentially be entitled to.

Simple substitution of phrases doesn’t sound like any AI.
anamexis··on Chartreuse, a case study in how scarcity and authenticity can drive desirability
"Craft" cocktails is itself a niche, and I would guess represents a pretty small portion of liquor sales.

And isn't that just Server-Sent Events (SSE)?
anamexis··on Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery
I doubt they are saying any services out there have 1,000,000,000,000 users.

Generally speaking, heavy metals accumulate as you move up the food chain, so it will be true for any large fish.
anamexis··on CodePen 2.0
I would imagine that CodePen has extensive tooling to address this already from v1, too.

Chinese infrastructure, presumably.
anamexis··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
I may not be the standard case, but I use Claude Code over Codex, OpenCode, Amp, etc primarily because of the UX, not the models or pricing.
anamexis··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
What do you mean in spite of their tech choices? When have the tech choices ever been an issue in the lifespan of Claude Code? From where I sit, it seems like their tech choices enabled them to create an industry-defining product.

No, this is the current dictation functionality on iOS 26.

Do you think you were the first person to write a blog post about coding harness token usage?
anamexis··on Claude Fable 5 Promotional Access
It didn't happen for everyone inside the US, either. Also I believe it was only available for 2 days.
anamexis··on Waveloop: What Fable left me
Yes, exactly. 12-TET stands for 12 tone equal temperament, where "temperament" is a tuning system.

There are other tuning systems, which I intentionally avoided discussing because it starts involving LOTS more music theory very quickly. But to quickly describe it: pleasant sounding combinations of notes generally occur at simple ratios. If you look at a simple major chord, like C-E-G, the E would be at 5/4 the frequency of C, and the G would be at 3/2 the frequency of C. However if you tuned a piano like this, it would be specifically anchored to the root note of C, as that's what we're referencing those ratios from. (This would be "the key of C major.") It just so happens that in 12-TET tuning, we get ratios that are very close to these simple fractions, and since the tuning is "equal", it works for any key/root note.

anamexis··on Waveloop: What Fable left me
In a nutshell:

An octave (for example from a C to the next C) is a doubling in frequency. In the Western diatonic system, there are 12 notes per octave. (C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B). Notes are "evenly spaced" within the octave - every note has the same ratio between its frequency and the frequency of the next note. Hence, that ratio is ¹²√2

anamexis··on Ford AI hiccups push carmaker to rehire ‘gray beard’ inspectors
I don't know, middle management is all about people and project management, and I don't think AI is displacing that.
anamexis··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
I absolutely believe it! And feel the pricing model makes perfect sense for the use case.
anamexis··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
I don't know what the right term is, but maybe "deterministic" pricing (this is not the right term, but maybe closer). That is, I'm not going to know how much a sprite cost until I see the bill (or look up the live usage report), whereas if I spin up a Fly Machine, I know exactly how much I'm going to pay per unit of time.

(Both make sense for their respective use cases.)

anamexis··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
Fly.io's Sprites [1] do offer public web access as an option. They also have dynamic pricing.

anamexis··on Thomann takes legal action against Fender
I think you're thinking of trademark, but this isn't a trademark claim, it's a copyright infringement claim. The legal question is whether the guitar shape can be copyrighted.
anamexis··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
Well, if a study finds that nearly everyone of your skin color at your latitude is deficient, you can make an educated guess.
anamexis··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
A year's worth of daily 5000 IU (125 mcg) Vitamin D supplements costs approximately $15, so you could also just supplement.
anamexis··on Show HN: CleverCrow: give tokens to your favorite projects
I don’t think companies are donating to 20 different maintainers in the hopes of getting 20 different specific features implemented, either.
anamexis··on Show HN: CleverCrow: give tokens to your favorite projects
I'm not sure how that's related to your initial question of "How do you ensure that funds ear-marked for a donor-specified issue goes toward that issue and not something else?"

If you want that, negotiate a contract.

anamexis··on Show HN: CleverCrow: give tokens to your favorite projects
Yes, and donation/sponsorship is not the tool for the latter.
anamexis··on Identity verification on Claude
And this thread is about OpenAI.
anamexis··on Are you expected to run five Python type-checkers now?
I do too, but I feel like TypeScript stands alone as an unusually effective and pleasant to use bolted-on type system. I've not seen any other approach come close. (My sample size is Python, Ruby and Elixir)
