bot403··on Firewood Splitting Simulator
Oh you guys are all gonna hate Sim Ant.
bot403··on Open source AI must win
The first half of your comment is unnecessarily aggressive and dismissive to op.
bot403··on Open source AI must win
At this point, or perhaps not too far off it's like opting out of electricity, or the automobile.

Sure you can. But you're going to have a bad time.

bot403··on Surprise, pay $1000
First time? You can choose between the $20 convenience fee or the $50 no-fee fee.
bot403··on DNS is for people, not for IT infrastructure
Not to mention losing load balancing and failover.
bot403··on Is This Sustainable?
I don't think the author would dispute that. But the problem is the foot is bigger and the stepping is faster.
bot403··on Why Gentoo?
This is the exact article I thought of when I saw this headline. I'm surprised it's still around.
bot403··on We replaced Zendesk
I'm seeing a lot more of those ai generated graphics which are shiny and flashy but ultimately say nothing.
bot403··on Commission fines Temu €200M for breaching the Digital Services Act
The good people at qzzdfghjww company would NEVER sell a defective product.
bot403··on Claude is not your architect. Stop letting it pretend
Need an updated version of the skit. Oohhhh Claude says no....
bot403··on Artificial egg hatched 26 healthy chickens
And I feel like lab grown Velociraptor skeletons aren't going to fetch $10 million. Rarity and something new to study is part of the value.
bot403··on Google officially announces that ads will be included in AI Mode search results
I've been abandoning Google before ai ads....kagi has let me take control again of my search results and I can ban low quality domains like google used to be able to do.
bot403··on 'No way to prevent this,' says only package manager where this regularly happens
I fail to see how this isn't a simple cool down with more steps. It doesn't seem to add anything to the security posture of the package/update
bot403··on Show HN: Claude Code vs. Codex Global Usage Leaderboard
Not just a problem communicating but a lack of a problem here.

Why do I want to publish my team's ai usage with this random site? It's all risk and no upside.

bot403··on Iran mulls taking control of all 7 cables passing through Strait of Hormuz
Operation epic fail
bot403··on How Fast Does Claude, Acting as a User Space IP Stack, Respond to Pings?
Now do the equivalent of just in time compilation. Claude sees that we need to respond to a lot of pings and writes a program to compute it instead of thinking about each one.
bot403··on Spain has become one of Europe’s cheapest power markets
Yes this is one thing that surprised me owning solar. Some days its pretty cloudy and I can still get 2kw or so from my 7kw max.
bot403··on Spain has become one of Europe’s cheapest power markets
You don't even need a roof. If you have enough land then a ground mount system is more convenient and easier to maintain.
bot403··on The Disadvantages of an Elite Education (2008)
Your parent commenter must have an ivy league education :)
bot403··on Two millionth electric car registered as market rebounds from tax changes
I own an EV. If I had a phev I'd sure love to plug it in rather than pay more for gas and have to go to the station.
bot403··on Agent Skills
I'm wondering if there are anti-ai bots trolling the boards. Look at all the usernames of the negative AI posts.

Or maybe the only people left opposing AI are so hardcore against it they form their identity (username) around it

bot403··on Agent Skills
Ignore the people who haven't found out how to use ai yet or don't want to.

AI is a powerful tool. Depending on what I need I use chatgpt, in-ide agents, or a platform like Devin.ai.

I use it when it helps me advance my goals. I don't when it doesn't. Sometimes it misses the mark and I scale back and have it do a specific piece and I'll do the rest.

Sometimes I use it to analyze the code base in seconds vs minutes. Sometimes I use it to pinpoint a bug fast.

Ive solved customer issues in seconds and minutes with it vs hours.

I worked on a banking app with deeply domain specific data issues. AI was not very helpful on that team. My current work on consumer web apps mean my problems are more mundane and AI is a big accelerant.

Being and engineer means solving the problems with the right tools with the right tradeoffs as well. It's why I use an idea vs notepad, I use chatgpt for one-off scripts and "chat", and i use agentic workflows for big, repetitive, or "boring" low-stakes tasks.

bot403··on I scraped 1.94M Airbnb photos for opium dens, pet cameos, and messy kitchens
I don't necessarily agree with labeling them drug dens. But certainly the hosts showed zero or negative effort in keeping the room clean and suitable to rent. They do deserve some shaming.
bot403··on 10Gb/s Ethernet: what I did to get it working in my home
Cripes. When possible just do fiber and DACs. Faster and much cooler than 10Gbit. 10Gbit uses an absurd amount of power per port thus the need for all that cooling.
bot403··on The Duolingo taxi test–could being rude to the driver cost you your dream job?
It's buried but an article link gives better details... HN link is sloppy writing.

Luis von Ahn, the billionaire cofounder and CEO of the language-learning app, revealed on Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni’s The Burnouts podcast how a job candidate treats their driver from the airport to the office can make or break their chances of getting hired—regardless of how impressive their résumé looks or how much they like the candidate in the interview process.

bot403··on Vibe Coding Will Break Your Company
I don't hate Jira because it's slow. I hate it because it has obvious well known quirks and deficiencies that never get corrected.

Plus "next generation projects" that just stall and seem unfinished.

If I didn't see them slam ai into it in weeks just like everyone else I would say they have no product teams or engineers working on it.

bot403··on If more than 50% press blue, everyone survives. Red pressers always survive
It may not have been completely avoidable though. What if the maximum number of people who would ever vote for blue is 30%

If that's the case then it's truly impossible to save them.

Your assumption is there is more than 50% of people who will vote blue or could be convinced to do so.

It's a terrifying thought that there could be such a deficit of empathetic people. But without any evidence you're just hoping based on your own beliefs that over 50% believe in blue like you do.

What if I'm not afraid of dying. But I'm just not willing to throw my life away unless there's decent evidence it could succeed and we could get above 50%

bot403··on If more than 50% press blue, everyone survives. Red pressers always survive
I think it would be hard to prove you, individually, were the deciding vote to blue.

Everyone who voted blue in such a case could think they were the one vote. And they could be right.

bot403··on At long last, InfoWars is ours
They are indeed cringe worthy. Even my four year old cries when his spoon is the wrong kind of spoon. This does not make him spoon-phobic. It means he is a kid who has no control of his emotions.

A baby has even less understanding.

Everyone who is debating the homophobia of the baby is projecting.

bot403··on Anthropic installed a spyware bridge on my machine?
I'll stand up and say we do need more evidence of that please.
