ec109685··on Auto-compact not triggering on Claude.ai despite being marked as fixed
How do they feel it’s right to never respond to GitHub issues?

Apple and Google do same thing with their silly forums.

ec109685··on Anthropic's original take home assignment open sourced
Solvable in more than 2 but not less than 2 would be the real trick.
ec109685··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
I use Prompt, Ever Terminal, Whisper, EC2 and Claude Code.

I can build anything with it. Having Claude on top of a terraform repo lets me fully control my infra. Claude is so good at AWS and terraform, and it even found a $3k monthly accidental spend I had running (also sent a refund request to hopefully get some credit back).

Also have a Claude driven CI workflow in GitHub to help keep everything on track.

Having full access to the Claude Code TUI is so much better than the web or iOS interface, plus everything runs on your own setup.

And agree it has replaced doom scrolling / useless new reading.

The Claude code tui is so nice. The web and iOS apps neuter it weirdly.
ec109685··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
Claude iOS is way worse. You don’t get the full tui.
ec109685··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
This is impressive.

Though I have found repo level claude.md that is updated everytime claude makes a mistake plus using —restore to select a previous relevant session works well.

There is no way for Anthropic to optimize Claude code or the underlying models for these custom setups. So it’s probably better to stick with the patterns Anthropic engineers use internally.

ec109685··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
You can go to a previous session and resume from there. Plus keep updating the repo claude.md along the way:
ec109685··on How uv got so fast
The article info is great, but why do people put up with LLM ticks and slop in their writing? These sentences add no value and treats the reader as stupid.

> This is concurrency, not language magic.

> This is filesystem ops, not language-dependent.

Duh, you literally told me that the previous sentence and 50 million other times.

ec109685··on Unifi Travel Router
Travel to a hotel.
ec109685··on Unifi Travel Router
You should overlay something else rather than rely on WiFi securiry. Tailscale or a vpn, private cloud or just tls, depending on your threat model.

Something something dropbox is simple :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

I wish Eero offered this feature. I bring three eeros to Airbnb’s to replace their crappy WiFi with my same SID, but it would be nice if it connected back through the home internet.

ec109685··on Unifi Travel Router
They throttle.
ec109685··on Unifi Travel Router
Airlines throttle per device, unfortunately.
ec109685··on Unifi Travel Router
I’ve done this. Works fine. Issue in general is the airlines throttle the heck out of devices.
ec109685··on Lua 5.5
Reminds me of WhatsApp that was on all devices early on to maximize their network effect.
ec109685··on Lua 5.5
Is transpilation a thing in the Lua world like it is for JavaScript?
ec109685··on Lessons from the PG&E outage
Do Waymo’s have Starlink or another satellite based provider backup? Otherwise, what do they if cell service goes down and they need to phone home for confirmation?
ec109685··on Using LLMs at Oxide
Don’t make manual corrections.

If you keep all edits to be driven by the LLM, you can use that knowledge later in the session or ask your model to commit the guidelines to long term memory.

ec109685··on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207B by 2030
That’s 207b / 8b people / 4 years / 365 days or 1.17 cents a person.

If ChatGPT is delivering that, they should have no problem raising money.

ec109685··on X's new country-of-origin feature reveals many 'US' accounts to be foreign-run
App Store country of origin too weighs in.
ec109685··on How Quake.exe got its TCP/IP stack
This article makes it seems like 1996 was ancient times. There was the internet then, browsers, Mac’s had a tcp stack for a while by then, quake was an extremely advanced game.

Yeah, the dos to windows transitions was a big deal, but it was a pretty ripe time for innovation then.

ec109685··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Totally cooked if you have Cloudflare fronting us-east-1, with no redundancies.
ec109685··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Having an alt to Cloudflare isn’t preposterous.
ec109685··on Large integer precision error in Bash command output rendering
They wrap bash with python.
ec109685··on Large integer precision error in Bash command output rendering
Are you sure about the one char thing? I’d expect a huge flash if that was the case.
ec109685··on Asus Announces October Availability of ProArt Display 8K PA32KCX
I don’t get marketing people. The only link in the press release is to adobe’s creative cloud. Why isn’t there two taps to buy the monitor with Apple Pay and have it shipped when it’s available?

> The redemption period ends August 31, 2026. For full details, visit https://www.asus.com/content/asus-offers-adobe-creative-clou....

Well, the monitor is €8,999, so maybe it’d be more than two taps for me:

> The monitor is scheduled to be available by October 2025 and will costs €8,999 in Europe (including VAT)

ec109685··on GM Deprecating In-Car App Store for Models as Recent as 2020
Wish there was rules around interoperability. Having to buy a whole new car to get your apps back is terrible.
ec109685··on Updated practice for review articles and position papers in ArXiv CS category
Published papers are part of the EB-1 visa rubric so huge value in getting your content into these indexes:

"One specific criterion is the ‘authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media’. The quality and reputation of the publication outlet (e.g., impact factor of a journal, editorial review process) are important factors in the evaluation”

ec109685··on Updated practice for review articles and position papers in ArXiv CS category
It’s not a money issue. People publish these papers to get jobs, into schools, visa’s and whatnot. Way more than $30 in value from being “published”.
ec109685··on AOL to be sold to Bending Spoons for $1.5B
That is a silly comparison. The alibaba assets of Yahoo were carved out before it was sold to Verizon was worth $58.62B.
