+1 I did the same a few years back. It’s fine most of the time. Their AI assist is ok as well. No complaints here, can always fallback to google if the results aren’t good enough

How efficient is Claude at cleaning up unused code and making things more simple - as good as it is at adding code / features?

I use the plugin for Git, and the one for tasks. Hope those are safe!

No HN? :)

Slightly different but related topic - for people who work with people vibe coding, what is the easiest way to allow that for non tech users (and reducing risk)? AWS or something like vercel? Coolify?

I think people find joy in trying to optimise (maxxxxxx) their setup be it editor AI note taking etc. They make time for it

Send the link to AI and ask :)

People still use ask.com? Don’t know if I have for a long time

Very cool, amazing!

What effects does marathon running have on the body long term?

If you request the desktop site, reading mode will be available (that’s my experience anyway).

Reading mode in your browser…?

“Some bullet points are gated on process.env.USER_TYPE === 'ant' — Anthropic employees get stricter/more honest instructions than external use”

Interesting!

AI installing AI, it’s happening.. :-/

Worked ok til it was a system dir and the system wouldn’t boot anymore? :)

It’s worrying to me that nobody really knows how LLMs work. We create prompts with or without certain words and hope it works. That’s my perspective anyway

Congrats!

Minger / minging are common UK slang

I can’t put my finger on it but he’s just such an unlikeable figure

Obligatory:

It’s the year of the Linux desktop!

My main reason for getting into Linux, forget the version or distribution maybe Slackware or RH at the time (later loved Debian the most) was that windows in that era was horribly unstable, BSOD etc

I dug into this a bit (with AI ofc) and it spat this out. I found it an easy way to visualise and start to understand:

> Standard AI models (like GPT-4) treat data using Global Geometry. They imagine every word as a point floating in a massive, flat, high-dimensional room. To see how two words relate, they draw a straight line between them.

> Local Topology changes the "room" into a landscape (a manifold). Instead of a flat void, the data exists on a curved surface that has hills, valleys, and paths.

> Value is shifting to operations: deployment, testing, rollbacks, observability. You can't prompt 99.95% uptime on Black Friday. Neither can you prompt your way to keeping a site secure, updated, and running.

I agree somewhat but eventually these can be automated with AI as well.

For me the bloat is acceptable since it saves so much time and JustWorks (Tm)

Confusing. I thought graphite was a TSDB

Servant leadership to me always meant that as a manager I am a servant to the team. Pretty sure that was the intended meaning of it.

Sorry

Great comment. Username doesn’t check out! :)

The job of EM is to be accountable for a team (or teams) which deliver(s) software. A software engineer’s job is to develop software.
