dalore··on Show HN: Project management system for Claude Code
how to use it on an existing repo that has a few issues, a milestone, labels, etc?
dalore··on MTV news website goes dark, archives pulled offline
In a way it was archived, into the minds and training data of AI models.
dalore··on 'I'm the new Oppenheimer ': Palantir's first-ever AI warfare conference
Is that not a good excuse for drug legalisation? If drugs are illegal then we get poor-quality or adulterated drugs, leading to deaths, and funding illicit activities. If we legalise it, we get quality control and tax.
dalore··on How I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
Because the Makefile also becomes a central place of what you can run in a project without having dozens of different shell scripts. You can comment on targets, depend on others. Makefile targets to restore, the build i18n files, etc

I made a bash script that takes your Makefile and gives you a nice dialog menu for the targets that have comments. Works nicely as a self documenting project command menu.

dalore··on PM2: Production Process Manager with a Built-In Load Balancer
We use PM2 in a docker container since we got a memory leak and PM2 has a memory limiter option that allows us to kill and restart a process when it uses too much memory. If we let it grow the response time starts to drop due to GC taking longer and longer.
dalore··on The woman behind Strindberg's Miss Julie and her male alter ego
You can be rich, get an education, and then lose the money but not the education.
dalore··on A ragtag band of internet friends became the best at forecasting world events
How is this different from the scam where someone sends out stock tips for different companies to different people? The ones that were successful they send out another round of random stock tips. Some of those will be right. Then they can target the people they sent the right ones to and say, look we predicted these so we are successful.

Basically, if you have many people predicting something, just from randomness some will be more successful and some won't be.

dalore··on Starlink terminal revision 4: overview and tests
The source for that is the "Ministry of Defence’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR)" so I would take that with a huge grain of salt.

They are a bit upset that Musk refused to allow them an offensive use of Starlink which would have, in his opinion, escalated the war.

dalore··on My notes on Gitlab's Postgres schema design (2022)
It's also exposes your growth metrics. When using sequential id's one can tell how many users you have, how many users a month you are getting and all sorts of useful stuff that you probably don't want to expose.

It's how the British worked out how many tanks the German army had.

dalore··on Taylor Swift threatens to sue student who tracks her private jet
Yes! by the same logic we should not be tracking her public concerts. The location and times of the concerts should be private information only available to her.
dalore··on Taylor Swift threatens to sue student who tracks her private jet
It's tracking her jet, not her. She is free to use something else, and even send the jet to places without her. If I recall she even has 2 jets.
dalore··on Show HN: Rank a random subject every day
Because in Australia and New Zealand, a Kiwi is someone from New Zealand.
dalore··on Final Decision on Chromebook Case in Denmark
Sounds like we agree. Given the right instructions and environment, tools are useful.

Handing out knives/computers/chemistry sets without training and unsupervised does not help.

dalore··on Final Decision on Chromebook Case in Denmark
Computers can and are being used to poison the mind. You can get distracted, you can play games, you can go on sites like chat roulette which are popular with the kids etc

Knives are used in everyday life and can't explode or poison you either, yet we don't let our kids run around with knives for example. So saying if something can or can't explode is not a useful metric.

Teaching them how to use a computer under guidance, is useful and so should be treated like a tool to be taught on how to use. Not just handed out willy nilly.

dalore··on OnlyFake: A site where ‘neural networks’ churn out fake IDs
And when deep fakes can easily recreate a face in real time video? doesn't have to be good enough to fool a human, just the face scan which uses a subset of points to match.
dalore··on UUID Benchmark War
uuid you can generate the id in the client and send that knowing (hoping) it won't conflict
dalore··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
You can have merge trains where it will build the MR based on the MRs that are merging to master.
dalore··on Show HN: A simple ChatGPT prompt builder
> input the final result in a [Select a format],

should that not be output?

dalore··on Nobody Cares About Your Git History
Huh, Gitlab does have "depends on MR" merging which will block until all the dependent MRs have been merged. Including on other projects.
dalore··on Nuclear smartphone 3V battery lasting for 50 years
Lots of things are radioactive. A banana for example.
dalore··on The great cousin decline
Because you have kids a few years apart. So there is the transition to high school. Then some schools are single-sex.
dalore··on Development slowness in big and legacy applications
Don't you mean more than 10?

A meeting with more than 10 people tends to waste more people's time than a meeting with less than 10.

dalore··on The great cousin decline
Not only that, the whole school system makes it so hard for parents. Say you have a few kids. They most likely will go to different schools in different areas. So now you have to get them all to different schools at the same time, at the same time as everyone else, and get to work. Then after school, they will all have different activities to go to at different places.

It's no wonder people are stopping at 1 kid or none at all.

dalore··on Most 16-year-olds don't have servers in their rooms
When I was 16 I started an ISP in my bedroom. I had an 8 port octo serial cable into a computer for people to dial into, and an ISDN line going out. It's how I learned linux. Setup SMTP mailservers etc.
dalore··on OpenAI Begins Tackling ChatGPT Data Leak Vulnerability
They say they didn't change it. And there is a new theory, the Winter Break Hypothesis. It's where chatgpt mimics people who work in December because the prompt has the date in it. And in December people are thinking of the holidays and not working as hard.

dalore··on Wireflow – free, online, open source tool for creating user-flow prototypes
> It have built in live chat which give you ability to communicate with your team mate and still be in the same app while you collaborating in real-time.

Not to be the grammar tsar, but if anyone from there is reading this it could do with a little fixing.

dalore··on Show HN: Visualize rotating objects from the 4th, 5th, nth dimensions
It looks just like the quantum cube thing in the Foundation tv show
dalore··on Kagi Search – Paywalled articles indicator and improved weather widget
They don't keep and tie your searches to your account. There is an option to enable history but it's disabled and doesn't let you enable it, but there is a message saying that they might add features that use this but since there is no feature currently you can't enable it.
dalore··on Dieselgate, but for trains – some heavyweight hardware hacking
They knew that SLS would not be able to do it.
dalore··on Gemini AI
They (Google) are probably using tools in a different way. I would imagine if you ask Bard/Gemini something, it also does a google search at the same time and provides those results as a potential context that the chat bot can use to answer with. So it does a google search every question but doesn't always use it.

With chatGPT it only uses the tools if it thinks it needs it. So if it needs to do a search it will have to respond with do a search function, which then has to go do a search and then it provides that as context to the chatbot which then can respond from that data.
