andunie··on The Harness Is the Thing
Are you sure you are?

Try laying some people off just to be sure.

andunie··on The Harness Is the Thing
I don't understand why no one has tried to make a harness without full shell access yet.

It would be so much safer.

andunie··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
The solution is clearly one that isn't controlled by any company:

Nostr.

andunie··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
Isn't it called X for years now?
andunie··on Stripe acquires Clerky
Stripe and Clerky are two companies that wouldn't exist of it wasn't for the existence of draconian government regulations.

Imagine how much capital and work hours society would be saving.

andunie··on Stripe acquires Clerky
Thank you, yes. I wish that too. I had never heard of this Clerky before now.
andunie··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
What temperatures are we talking about here? Aren't people living in much higher temperatures in tropical zones just fine?
andunie··on Introducing selfie for sign-in: a new way to access your Google Account
This doesn't work at all. There is no magic fairy that will create good regulation.
andunie··on Introducing selfie for sign-in: a new way to access your Google Account
Total Panopticon.

If you think it's good for accessibility make it optional. This will be mandatory.

andunie··on Businesses with ugly AI menu redesigns
It is disgusting but only to a specific kind of autist. Everybody else doesn't care.

This should count as a form of segregation against such minority.

andunie··on Introducing selfie for sign-in: a new way to access your Google Account
The fact that most people will love this is depressing.
andunie··on Writing by hand is good for your brain
My hand hurts when I hold a pencil for too long, it has always been that way since when I was young. The computer saved my ability to write longer texts.
andunie··on Building on ATProto
I don't think anyone ever got paid to "run nodes".
andunie··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
Initially I didn't see much benefit either, my point was just that there would have to be some interface that the client and server would have to speak, right? So why not Nostr? Why invent a new one? It could not benefit anyone, but also wouldn't hurt.

Later some actual advantages came to my mind, as I was writing this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49022183

Of course it could, but why do it on Zulip if Nostr exists? Now you depend on a Zulip server and all its complicated APIs that some other company controls.

If you use Nostr groups it's pretty much set in stone and you can just augment it, while at the same time using other tools that already exist for Nostr if you need.

And the agents identity part is just easier with Nostr, no need to create fake emails for the agents, create a separate bot admin dashboard and so on.

Not to mention that once you have a global identity layer it becomes easier to get people from outside the company to join temporarily (just a use case that came to my mind).

andunie··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
Why not use Nostr? Why come up with something else entirely that would be just a worse version of Nostr at best?
andunie··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
I don't think that's what Nostr solves. It's more like an interoperability layer.
andunie··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
In my understanding there is not much here in the Nostr part that is different than a simple server.

If that's the case, why not?

andunie··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Didn't they do this a while ago already?
andunie··on Show HN: Oak – Git alternative designed for agents
Sounds good, but isn't that too little to justify moving out of git? Why couldn't this be written on top of git?
andunie··on Show HN: Oak – Git alternative designed for agents
Wait, I clicked and read, but I still don't know what is this about!
andunie··on Think of the children: How to force real ID for all internet traffic (2023)
voting is just a suggestion from a slave to the master
andunie··on Court Records Should Be Free
this is for sure
andunie··on There are no instances in ATProto
The RSS comparison is misleading.

Atproto apps are not like an RSS reader that runs on the users' computers and connects directly to the sources of content.

Atproto apps are servers that control, filter and shape the content they serve to readers.

Atproto apps can censor, shadowban, show ads, algorithmize the feed into anything it wants. The user is powerless and the creator is a victim that can't do anything besides crying.

The fact that any person can host their data anywhere is completely meaningless since they have no way of distributing that data.

andunie··on Think of the children: How to force real ID for all internet traffic (2023)
The opposite is true.
andunie··on Dirge: Rust coding agent with intelligent steering and memory
This looks incredibly good.
andunie··on Why are large language models so terrible at video games?
I wonder if they would be good at text-based games.
andunie··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
This works great for me to transfer stuff between my own devices in my home, but it's not an AirDrop replacement at all, so I don't know why they advertise it like that.
andunie··on Kagi releases alpha version of Orion for Linux
Why is WebKit so bad?
andunie··on Hash tables in Go and advantage of self-hosted compilers
So what is this article about?

1. How to do sets in Go?

2. What changed between Go 1.24 and 1.25?

3. Trusting an LLM?

4. Self-hosted compilers?

It is not clear at all. Also there are no conclusions, it's purely a waste of time, basically the story of a guy figuring out for no reason that the way maps are implemented has changed in Go.

And the title is about self-hosted compilers, whose "advantage" turned out to be just that the guy was able to read the code? How is that an advantage? I guess it is an advantage for him.

The TypeScript compiler is also written in Go instead of in TypeScript. So this shouldn't be an advantage? But this guy likes to read Go, so it would also be an advantage to him.
