I think at some point, humans won’t even be useful on the battlefield. Everything will happen too fast.

caderoscheon Dijkstra's Shortest-Path Algorithm: A visual exploration, following Sedgewick

I’ve always wondered if there was a way to apply these path finding algorithms to lead a company towards the optimal money making path.

caderoscheon Firefox is and always has been terrible

Yeah the whole point of Firefox existing (Google supports them or has in the past) is for Google/Chrome to avoid antitrust lawsuits.

caderoscheon Ask HN: What's your desktop setup optimized to work with AI?

I just run Claude Code in tmux+alacritty. My favorite terminal is alacritty because it’s simple reliable and in every OS.

I use the same setup across Windows, Linux, and Mac machines. Great setup for constantly using different OSs.

caderoscheon Glasses Cleaning Simulator

Haha this is great! Just as frustrating as cleaning real glasses.

caderoscheon Attention Residuals

caderoscheon We rewrote our Rust WASM Parser in TypeScript – and it got 3x Faster

What is the purpose of the Rust WASM parser? Didn't understand that easily from the article. Would love a better explanation.

caderoscheon OpenCode – The open source AI coding agent

I feel like Anthropic really need to fork this for Claude Code or something. The render bugs in Claude Code drive me nuts.

caderoscheon Oregon school cell phone ban: 'Engaged students, joyful teachers'

I don't disagree that people lack self control.

My only disagreement is that bans on cellphone-like tech will be at all enforceable in the near future.

caderoscheon Oregon school cell phone ban: 'Engaged students, joyful teachers'

"imbedded in their heads" was a bit over the top.

All I actually mean is I'm sure that soon there will be some cell phone equiv tech that teachers won't be able to ban/control without scanning their entire bodies every day for RF signals.

caderoscheon HP trialed mandatory 15-minute support call wait times (2025)

In the long run, your customer's best interest aligns with your own best interest. Unless customer support costs were going to bankrupt HP, I think causing customers pain can only harm them.

caderoscheon Oregon school cell phone ban: 'Engaged students, joyful teachers'

I don't think banning is the right solution to this. At some point, I think we are going to have comms devices imbedded in our heads and whatnot.

I think the right approach is finding teaching techniques that still work when every human has all the world's info at their finger tips 24/7.

At some point, an uninterruptible, 24/7 live connection to the rest of the world is inevitable.

I'm not convinced a human teacher is a required part of this.

caderoscheon Show HN: React terminal renderer, cell level diff, no alt screen

I think the biggest issue with these sorts of things is all the different platforms that need to be support.

Do you have any ideas on how you could automatically test how well different features render in different terminals and on different OSs?
