d0100··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
My gf manages to get paid using Cursor/Copilot, despite not being able to branch herself out of a loop

In my experience Copilots work expertly at CRUD'ing inside a well structured project, and for MVPs in languages you aren't an expert on (Rust, C/C++ in my case)

The biggest demerit is that agents are increasingly trying to be "smart" and using powershell search/replace or writing scripts to skimp on tokens, with results that make me unreasonably angry

I tried adding i18n to an old react project, and copilot used all my credits + 10 USD because it kept shitting everything up with its maddening, idiotic use if search replace

If it had simply ingested each file and modified them only once, it would have been cheaper

As you can tell, I am still salty about it

d0100··on ChatGPT Health
I just had a deja vu, I'm sure I read this some months ago

Did you previously write this exact comment before?

d0100··on Show HN: Mantic.sh – A structural code search engine for AI agents
Its also small enough that a simple "Claude, migrate to Rust" would work to succesfully launder all the code
d0100··on ManusAI Joins Meta
Manus is pretty "big" in the entrepreneur crowd here in Brazil

When it came out is was very good, and had much better results than ChatGPT

d0100··on Show HN: I open-sourced my Go and Next B2B SaaS Starter (deploy anywhere, MIT)
dbos.dev should take care of long-running tasks, but I haven't tried running too many tasks yet as my other bigger projects all use Temporal
d0100··on UK House of Lords attempting to ban use of VPNs by anyone under 16
The answer is always money, just ask all the small, rich European countries that have no need for draconian measures against their citizens
d0100··on X's new country-of-origin feature reveals many 'US' accounts to be foreign-run
Maybe most of these accounts are managed by a offshore'd social media company?
d0100··on Mesh2Motion – Open-source web application to animate 3D models
As a dev trying to create 3D games on my spare time, I actually am (I'm also eager to use stableprojector once I upgrade my 10yo pc)

It's really hard having to be a 3D modeler, animator, art director, developer and having good enough taste to know you're never going to have the time to build what you find acceptable

d0100··on Nightmare Fuel: Skibidi Toilet and the Monstrous Digital
The new skibidi toilet are the italian brainrot
d0100··on Show HN: Inkeep (YC W23) – Agent Builder to create agents in code or visually
How does it compare to OpenAI agents builder?

inkeep isn't open source with a Elastic License 2.0, why not just go with OpenAI agents sdk (MIT)?

d0100··on Dbos: Durable Workflow Orchestration with Go and PostgreSQL
Is there a nice interface to visualize all workers/workflows running like temporal has?

Even better if the interface is also embeddable into a go http handler

d0100··on Show HN: Making a cross-platform game in Go using WebRTC Datachannels
I'm looking at the pion/ebiten example (https://github.com/pion/example-webrtc-applications/tree/mas...) but I can't find where exactly WebRTC comes in

The signaling server seems to just be a normal http server

d0100··on VMware's in court again. Customer relationships rarely go this wrong
Teams is fine, especially as others are so expensive for small non-US shops

We already have to bite the bullet and pay for office, at least we get free chat

I wish Teams integrated better with Github Issues/PR, but it works well as a company-wide chat

d0100··on AI vs. Professional Authors Results
> If your "vision" is only the "idea for a sci-fi story", is that really a vision?

We have art, games and movie directors

AI just enables anyone to be a "director", but most people can't direct anything worthwhile

d0100··on LL3M: Large Language 3D Modelers
AI will just be cheaper procedural environments
d0100··on Brazil central bank to launch Pix installment feature in September
It's common because people want goods but don't have the money to buy it

Oh you want a $140 Instant Pot? I think you mean a 1.5x minimum wage Instant Pot

So the only way to buy an Instant Pot is to do installments

d0100··on Australia Wants to See Your Papers Before You Press Play
> YouTube Shorts is just AI slop, and horrible content I wish never existed.

This is only what you watch, for me I get short form of the same content I watch on youtube video (music, games and podcasts)

d0100··on Show HN: Pangolin – Open source alternative to Cloudflare Tunnels
How does this compare to other OSS like zrok?
d0100··on Gene therapy restored hearing in deaf patients
Anyone from the deaf community that can tell us how these kind of news are received?

I wonder how this compares to animosity towards coclear implants by a subsection of the community

d0100··on Microsoft extends free Windows 10 security updates into 2026
I'm still on a i7 4770k, waiting for non-bugged intel CPU's to launch, and upgrading to Win11 always fails
d0100··on SymbolicAI: A neuro-symbolic perspective on LLMs
Since these seem like short prompts, you can send as context data that was correct on past prompts

You can create a test suite for your code that will compile correct results according to another prompt or dictionary verification

  t.test(
     Symbol(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'cat', 'dog']).map('convert all fruits to vegetables'),
     "list only has vegetable and cat,dog"
  )
d0100··on A Blacklisted American Magician Became a Hero in Brazil
Weird narrative of Mister M being famous because Brazilians "loathe deception more than anyone"

He got famous because everyone loves magic, and even more when you explain magic tricks

But most importantly, and what the author fails to mentions, it was because at that point in time anything on TV got famous, because TV was the only visual media we had that was "free"

d0100··on AI Angst
I love programming, I just don't like CRUDing, or API'ing...

I also love programming behaviours and interactions, just not creating endless C# classes and looking at how to implement 3D math

After a long day at the CRUD factory, being able to vibe code as a hobby is fun. Not super productive, but it's better than the alternative (scrolling reels or playing games)

d0100··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
I can also create them with ssh

But I prefer to keep that info with the db connection, and have it automatically run when I connect

It's a pretty standard expectation (Navicat, DBeaver, etc)

d0100··on Show HN: Tesseral – Open-Source Auth
When Ory came out I was excited because they have a solid product that is made in Go, however their lack of multi-tenancy that didn't require setting up servers for each tenant made them a non-starter

I just had to implement 2FA on our homegrown auth, and I can't wait to replace it with Tesseral

d0100··on Remote Prompt Injection in Gitlab Duo Leads to Source Code Theft
> rendering unsafe HTML tags such as <img> or <form> that point to external domains not under gitlab.com

Does that mean the minute there is a vulnerability on another gitlab.com url (like an open redirect) this vulnerability is back on the table?

d0100··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
So it's just Azure Data Studio where it lacks SSH tunneling...

I got my hopes up for nothing

d0100··on Deno's Decline
Deno is great!

I am trying to use it as a FaaS to some level of success

I only wish that the compiled binary retain full Deno capabilities, it would be even better if the permission model could limit file system access and limit cmd to a specific user

I've also been using Deno Deploy for AI integrations, and something I miss is being able to have multy-file projects without deploying from github

Just give me a online vscode environment, limited as it may be

Typescript LSP should be able to run in a worker, and I wouldn't mind having to install a browser extension if necessary

d0100··on Instant SQL for results as you type in DuckDB UI
That would be nice as it would spare us the effort of replicating the UI, half-baked as we can
d0100··on Instant SQL for results as you type in DuckDB UI
And this is a happy coincidence that json_serialize_sql doesn't work with anything but select queries
