anamexis··on Push events into a running session with channels
Claude Code Web does all of those things for me with the GitHub connector enabled. I did have a lot of song and dance to get the permissions right though.
anamexis··on Reviewing Large Changes with Jujutsu
I have been working on a 100% vibe-coded magit-style jujitsu porcelain for neovim. I cannot emphasize "vibe-coded" enough -- I have not read a single line of code here, nor do I know much about neovim development in general. All that said, it's been working pretty well for me the last couple weeks!

anamexis··on AWS outage due to drone attacks in UAE
Right, so if they were able to get a discount in UAE…
anamexis··on Apple AI servers unused in warehouses due to low Apple Intelligence usage
If all of the storage is used up by models, users will need to buy proprietary cloud storage for their own content.
anamexis··on The happiest I've ever been
What point are you trying to make?
anamexis··on The happiest I've ever been
Retirement is the withdrawal from active working life, i.e. having a job. It is not a US concept.
anamexis··on We hid backdoors in ~40MB binaries and asked AI + Ghidra to find them
> All the docs are already in its training data, wouldn't that just pollute the context?

No - there is a reason that coding agents are constantly looking up docs from the web, even though they were presumably trained on that data. Having this information directly in context results in much higher fidelity than relying on the information embedded in the model.

"With instructions that would be clear for a reverse engineering specialist" is a big caveat, though. It seems like an artificial restriction to add.

With a longer and more detailed prompt (while still keeping the prompt completely non-specific to a particular type of malware/backdoor), the AI could most likely solve the problem autonomously much better.

anamexis··on We hid backdoors in ~40MB binaries and asked AI + Ghidra to find them
Why, though? That would make sense if you were just trying to do a comparative analysis of different agent's ability to use specific tools without context, but if your thesis is:

> However, [the approach of using AI agents for malware detection] is not ready for production.

Then the methodology does not support that. It's "the approach of using AI agents for malware detection with next to zero documentation or guidance is not ready for production."

anamexis··on Evaluating AGENTS.md: are they helpful for coding agents?
Why is that a pet peeve, though? Seems like a win/win.
anamexis··on An Update on Heroku
Salesforce acquired Heroku 15 years ago.
anamexis··on htmx: Server Sent Event (SSE) Extension
Everything HTMX does could be "just" done using JS - this is self-evident. The whole point of HTMX is to enable features like this directly in HTML.
anamexis··on Many Small Queries Are Efficient in SQLite
Did you read the OP?
anamexis··on The <Geolocation> HTML Element
That is not IP Geolocation.
anamexis··on The <Geolocation> HTML Element
Maybe I’m missing something, but Google does not offer an IP Geolocation service or publish their database.
anamexis··on Apple picks Gemini to power Siri
The point is that once Siri is switched to a Gemini-based model, the baseline presumably won't be low anymore.
anamexis··on Code and Let Live
Why would it be a breaking change? Just continue assuming JSON if no Content-Type is provided.
anamexis··on The Concise TypeScript Book
Giving guidance on which one should be used and when is well within the scope of external parties.
anamexis··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
Every loss leader's purpose is to build up market share.
anamexis··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
Why is it poor behavior though?
anamexis··on Anyone have experiences with Audio Induction Loops?
Could you use multiple coils for different bands?
anamexis··on IQuest-Coder: A new open-source code model beats Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT 5.1 [pdf]
It is updated on their actual home page, though. There is clearly no intent to mislead people.

And neutrons are neither.
anamexis··on T-Ruby is Ruby with syntax for types
This hasn’t been true since Ruby 3.0. Keyword arguments are a core language feature with their own semantics.
anamexis··on T-Ruby is Ruby with syntax for types
It would seem that in T-Ruby all arguments are keyword arguments, although they don’t really spell this out.

anamexis··on T-Ruby is Ruby with syntax for types
Structural typing like this is completely compatible with the concept of duck typing. Indeed, it's basically doing static checking of duck typing.
anamexis··on Ruby 4.0.0
Is Sorbet not what you’re describing?

And RBS is officially part of Ruby…

anamexis··on Ruby 4.0.0
Sorbet is backed by Stripe.

Why is it important to be a separate layer that compiles to plain untyped Ruby?

anamexis··on Show HN: Vibium – Browser automation for AI and humans, by Selenium's creator
extremely cool, thank you!!
anamexis··on Show HN: Vibium – Browser automation for AI and humans, by Selenium's creator
I appreciate that it's brand new, but I'm still very interested in knowing about what sets it apart, even if that is all just vision at this point. What does "extending what's possible" mean?
