dalmo3··on The Waymo effect: how AI is quietly making research less collaborative
> All my coworkers are in the same boat though

That changes the picture a lot though because OP's whole point was the impedance mismatch between colleagues.

If you're all self aware that you're all winging it, and learning together, that seems a lot more of a healthier culture.

dalmo3··on The Waymo effect: how AI is quietly making research less collaborative
I have a very similar experience, and am very frustrated too.

I could (and do) lay blame on this new culture that "in the age of AI" things are there to be done, not learned, and doing is cheap (even if badly).

But I'm also particularly frustrated with myself for going along with it, and becoming that person.

I've never been that person. So on the one hand I feel I pressure to adapt or die. On the other hand adapting is dying, in a sense.

dalmo3··on Site Is Closed on Sundays
Why stop there?

When you visit my website a notification pops up on my phone and I have to set HTTP response manually.

It's also audio-only, because if you called me on the phone you wouldn't see any UI, would you?

Yes they should just use Sol to write their prompts.

It makes sense if you look at the file[1] he's taking about. It's explicitly declaring jargon so you don't need to redescribe $THING every time.

Exposure is still valuable. Eventually you recognise a nice... ahem... opinion... just by looking at it.

dalmo3··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Wow, that's a perfect example.

One thing about it I really hate, and haven't seen a lot of people mentioning, is how it navigates multiple abstraction levels in a single sentence. E.g.

> Worth stating because four documents now assert it.

Meta commentary on the task?

> a dead drag handle

Drag handle seems to be referring to some UI element. What does it mean for it to be dead?

So far no big deal

> during a booked half-day you do not get back

Do you not get the drag handle back? Or the half day?

Was the drag handle dead during the booked period? (Now I assume this is a calendar UI) And why does it matter (for this sentence) if you get it back or not.

> handoff-4.3-done.html's own wording

Treats verbatim filenames as subjects

> 4.4's review page

Probably referring to a file? I'm guessing handoff-4.4-review.html? No cohesion. And now it's actually the object of the sentence?

> downside of being wrong is that half day

Wait what's the downside? Who's being wrong?

> Checked, not recalled.

Then it jumps back to a meta commentary on the methodology for asserting the above. Why does this belong to the text?

dalmo3··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
I had no idea what Omarchy was, so I looked it up: https://omarchy.org/

Is there a name for a phobia of yt thumbnails?

dalmo3··on No AI Fridays
As someone in a similar journey, I say: No, the knowledge won't stick.

OTOH, the output might stick?

Then the question becomes do you value knowledge for its own sake or for what it enables you to do? I don't have an answer.

dalmo3··on Activation Energy is a good model for a lot of things
I've always framed that as "Newton's first".

I absolutely loathe the idea of doing the very thing I'll spend tem hours straight on once started.

The subtle difference to TFA's framing is that it's not only harder to start moving, but it also takes mental energy to stop moving.

I'm sure there is a medical condition or two being described here but I'm too lazy to find out.

If you have to ask, you'll never find out.

The answer is already in your question: Find the reason you don't have energy.

I must say that, Claudeisms aside, the flow of the docs is excellent.

I also found the "Counter example" page title amusing.

dalmo3··on Tell HN: Namecheap gave my account to an unverified third party
I've had the exact same issue with a small local registrar.

Had an account where I managed multiple clients. One of the clients had their "IT guy" contact the registrar for a DNS change. The registrar promptly gave the guy full access to my account, changing the password and locking me out in the process.

As soon as I regained access I moved everything off there.

Exactly. 50% of the times I type git rebase it is followed by --abort.
