gastonmorixe··on Regression: malware reminder on every read still causes subagent refusals
What you said doesn't make sense, what do you mean by "using claude code is the only way to be sure you won't get charged API pricing" ?? they can block your account or make the api more sensible for their harness to detect but the risk of being charged API is 0% when you are on a plan.

gastonmorixe··on Pretext: TypeScript library for multiline text measurement and layout
very interesting! thank you for those links
gastonmorixe··on Pretext: TypeScript library for multiline text measurement and layout
Has someone ever found a good solution for long / infinite lists / grids virtualization not breaking browsers native text search?

Maybe for this we need a new web "Search" API instead of JS. Not sure it can be done otherwise without browser's help.

just make the font-size smaller, and smaller, and smaller... until no more flickering.
gastonmorixe··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
Yeah, I've read that and find it a little sus. The article for me was fine even if not perfect.

It's the first time in my internet life (20y+) that I go find a wiki article to share to a friend because the US keeps weakening and I found it gone.

Didn't know it was that easy to remove a wikipedia article by just hinting it was AI generated.

gastonmorixe··on What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
I met a Tesla engineer on Reddit a few years ago. We got talking, he referred me to Tesla, and I ended up getting an offer for what was basically my dream role.

He was a complete stranger and incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the process. Still grateful for that. Small acts like that restore a bit of faith in humanity.

It also reminded me of a Steve Jobs quote:

“Most people never pick up the phone. Most people never ask. And that’s what separates, sometimes, the people who do things from the people who just dream about them. You have to act, and you have to be willing to fail. If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far.” - SJ

gastonmorixe··on Please donate to keep Network Time Protocol up – Goal 1k
I assumed their hosting bill
gastonmorixe··on Please donate to keep Network Time Protocol up – Goal 1k
yeah. Lesson learned: never share on HN late at night without paying more attention. I’m sorry guys. It wasn’t my intention at all, I was trying to learn about time syncing and thought they really needed help to keep the site and devs support up. 2 months left and 1k goal looked sad and perfect for us to help. I failed in the title badly and no idea what they are doing by changing the goal. I will dig deeper later. It was 100% my fault. Stop donating. I only hope they are not a scam. :/
gastonmorixe··on Please donate to keep Network Time Protocol up – Goal 1k
my suggestion: stop donating! unless until they clarify what’s going on. the goal said 1k
gastonmorixe··on Please donate to keep Network Time Protocol up – Goal 1k
for the record: it was 300$ of 1k when I saw this site. 12h later it changed to 11k?? what happened no idea.

gastonmorixe··on Training language models to be warm and empathetic makes them less reliable
I was dating someone and after a while I started to feel something was not going well. I exported all the chats timestamped from the very first one and asked a big SOTA LLM to analyze the chats deeply in two completely different contexts. One from my perspective, and another from his perspective. It shocked me that the LLM after a long analysis and dozen of pages, always favored and accepted the current "user" persona situation as the more correct one and "the other" as the incorrect one. Since then I learned not to trust them anymore. LLMs are over-fine tuned to be people pleasers, not truth seekers, not fact and evidence grounded assistants. Just need to run everything important in a double-blind way and mitigate this.
gastonmorixe··on In case of emergency, break glass
I tweeted the same thing. Unbelievable. I think this may be the start of downfall. As an Apple's fanboy and UI Engineer this is really sad to witness.
