getpokedagainon Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter

Something working is pointless if there are no users and no need is being addressed.

getpokedagainon Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter

>> The project is under heavy active development

Is a pretty oof sentence for a project with one contributor and no users. Just reeks of llm barf with no oversight.

getpokedagainon Rebuilding the Computer Room

>> Any limitations on smartphones are either ergonomic or entirely artificial.

Wanted to add here they are also fixable. Most phones can be used with a keyboard, monitor and mouse. Reading from a phone or tablet on a beach beats doing so on a laptop! Most of all people continue to create improved tools for voice recognition.

getpokedagainon Who Does What? Team Topologies for the Agentic Platform

Please take my comments as friendly suggestions in your pull request. I am not intending to shoot you down friend.

I don't think you should avoid sharing it in any forum. Like I said it seems like a reasonable idea but I would just suggest being very I suppose blunt in 2026 because people skim and won't read things thoroughly. I would preface the article with "this is not battle tested"

Lest someone be frustrated when their stream aligned team accidentally exposes your whole company's email addresses on their new web app that whoops they forgot put it behind a login.

getpokedagainon Who Does What? Team Topologies for the Agentic Platform

I like the topic and I think orgs are struggling with the question:

What do our teams look like now?

But I have some big concerns with your approach here. This post is written like an authoritative summary but you admit it's not been seen working. Why is there so much untested conjecture presented as best practice here? If you had tested it you would realize this proposal is not possible in most orgs. Their "platform" will not be extensive enough to prevent misshaps by teams comprised of non engineers.

getpokedagainon The Doom Justifies the Valuation

While it is driving new hardware costs up remember you can run Linux on a potato and just wait it out. My pixel 8a is a phenomenal computer if ignore the hype monster.

The real solution is to stop using YouTube.

getpokedagainon Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)

https://github.com/gsilvers/err

I've never worked on android/iOS and I know very little about sensors. I'm trying to learn through this experiment. If I can get rid of Strava and some other apps along the way with a simpler core that would be fun.

On the other hand rom-ing your civic sounds easy

getpokedagainon Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes

I too was and wanted to only blame communication overload. Especially with work the hardest thing in ai times seems to be the overload of stuff/shit to read that is too easy to write.

The reality is I agree with the op and I see the loss of reasoning power in myself. I've been using native Emacs on android for a bit and finally have gotten serious about config for it. I got lazy and had Claude do some of it. Which was great untill things don't work because there's not going to be my crazy ask in the data. It was painful for me to sit down and think through my configuration and the problem but I did it.

I am absolutely torn on the technology still two years after adopting it.

getpokedagainon I love my Bluetooth keyboard

Thanks I have debated this https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lenovo-thinkpad-trackpoint-k... keyboard-on-the-go

For a similar reason.

getpokedagainon I love my Bluetooth keyboard

I assume it's something like mine. I want a phone I can dock and use as a desktop with a monitor and mouse/keyboard. That is just a phone when undocked.

We have reactive UIs and desktop mode on android. It's getting very close. I am not certain on the previous commentors reasons but I detest the many device game. A 500 dollar pixel 10a is a great computer and I would rather not buy another machine if I dont have to.

getpokedagainon GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension

I mean I don't think some sort of "access control" within the editor is going to really address this. People edit sensitive text in their code editor and no matter what that is going to be available to most useful extensions. Even if you don't lose a credential or get some arbitrary script running to mine crypto on your machine you could have an extension function as a key logger and exfil code you really think is valuable.

getpokedagainon GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension

Not trolling here but these things are by design cesspools ready for compromise. Any fully open ecosystem where contributions are not strictly reviewed is open to this problem. If you don't like it, don't use editor extensions and use a well audited editor.

If you want to use extensions or node packages or pypi packages without doing a detailed review you're accumulating technical debt. You're assuming a risk in order to ship rapidly. You can either pay that down at some point under control, or bear the interest when it comes due.

Is magic pointer a joke. That's what the right button has been for for ages.

getpokedagainon Amazon Music Can't Count [video]

Just some fun I had this morning buying a song before work. I use amazon music as you can still just pay money and get MP3/etc files. I camp a lot so offline music is something I'm "into" I guess.

Not sure when this issue began but it's probably a regression in the last month or two, I've downloaded albums earlier this year.

Not trying to say AI is the culprit just pointing out that quality in our industry is just going down the shitter fast. I did try it with no extensions turned on. Realistically the cause could be safari, I didn't bother opening chrome.

I've not hit it but that would suck.

Stop visiting sites and using services that use reCAPTCHA. Problem solved.

getpokedagainon Knitting bullshit

Wild. This kind of empowerment and long lived effort is the type of story we should be sharing.

I'm concerned that we've taken an amazing character like this and turned the world against her for frankly a bet against human intellectual development.

Thanks!

getpokedagainon If Apple makes an iPad Neo, it's all over

I think this is pointing out that the base iPad which has nice hardware is already 350 and 200 is not gonna encourage that many new buyers.

getpokedagainon Mozilla's opposition to Chrome's Prompt API

I don't think thus is what was meant. I don't think they were questioning if OS and browser makers were embedding llm features but rather if people want them.

I find many frustrating. I had an iphone previously and the llm summaries of text messages are what drove me to finally drop ios. I have a family member who is undergoing cancer treatment. I can't explain to you the frustration of seeing wrong text summaries when an llm goes wild hallucinating test results when the actual text simply said taking a test. OS basics and communication should be trustable. Not perhaps hallucinations of a small shitty model.

getpokedagainon Your phone is about to stop being yours

I don't get it. Just ten to twelve years ago we did just fine without mobile banking apps. Just go to the bank. I've been using graphene with no g shite for a year and have zero issue paying bills on my laptop. If my bank starts requiring two factor from an app to pay in a browser I'll switch banks or just cost them money by paying in person.

getpokedagainon An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below

This isn't a sarcastic response. What do you mean?

getpokedagainon An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below

We are anthropomorphizing whenever we refer to prompts as instructions to models. They predict text not obey our orders.

getpokedagainon Keep Android Open

Question. How will this play with distributions like graphene that allow for no Google play services?

getpokedagainon Caveman: Why use many token when few token do trick

In the age of vibe coding and that we are literally talking about a single markdown file I am sure this has been well tested and achieves all of its goals with statistical accuracy, no side effects with no issues.
