handfuloflight··on Show HN: Sub-millisecond VM sandboxes using CoW memory forking
Can you run this in another sandbox? Not sure why you'd want to... but can you?
handfuloflight··on Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car
You can also not click on links you are not interested in. Is that difficult?
handfuloflight··on Please Do Not A/B Test My Workflow
The ToS you agreed to gives Anthropic the right to modify the product at any time to improve it. Did you have your agent explain that to you, or did you assume a $200 subscription meant a frozen product?
handfuloflight··on Show HN: Modulus – Cross-repository knowledge orchestration for coding agents
How does your memory engine actually work?
handfuloflight··on Show HN: Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessions
Excellent share! Danke.
handfuloflight··on Why it takes you and an elephant the same amount of time to poop (2017)
Wait, hold on. Are you saying from lingering smell you're able to determine that there's pathology?
handfuloflight··on Weave – A language aware merge algorithm based on entities
Well, I'll be diving in. Thank you for sharing. Same for Weave.

handfuloflight··on If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
Is there anything better?
handfuloflight··on If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
Why is this so complicated? Store a session id that points to the full conversation artifacts (off repo) with the git commit and look it up ad hoc as needed. Why do the conversations need to be in the git repos?
handfuloflight··on If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
This gave me a good chuckle. Anyone doing "good" engineering with coding agents are having them write detailed, high signal, low noise git commits... it's table stakes.
handfuloflight··on Ask HN: How do I get started in AI?
Check out Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. Ideally both.
handfuloflight··on Show HN: Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude Code
Excellent, thank you for your responses. Will be putting it through a test drive.
handfuloflight··on Show HN: Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude Code
One moment you're speaking about context but talking in kilobytes, can you confirm the token savings data?

And when you say only returns summaries, does this mean there is LLM model calls happening in the sandbox?

handfuloflight··on Be My Baby
The technical significance of this song and its impact on modern music hasn't been properly articulated to the Hacker News audience, who are interested in such cross-cutting cultural examinations. The 'Musical impact and legacy' section of the wiki article has summaries in this direction.
handfuloflight··on Show HN: enveil – hide your .env secrets from prAIng eyes
You can force what is not able to git upstream.
handfuloflight··on Show HN: enveil – hide your .env secrets from prAIng eyes
How does this compare with https://dotenvx.com/?
handfuloflight··on Ask HN: How do I get started in AI?
What do you do as an IT dude?
handfuloflight··on Crawling a billion web pages in just over 24 hours, in 2025
There was a time when being able to do this meant you were on the path to becoming a (m)(b)illionaire. Still is, I think.
handfuloflight··on Aqua: A CLI message tool for AI agents
you know very well laziness leads to ruin or is the expression of active ruin
handfuloflight··on Aqua: A CLI message tool for AI agents
"Whoever says the people are ruined, he himself is ruined." To paraphrase, but that's actual haqq.

handfuloflight··on Agentic Software Engineering Book
It is certainly an onslaught of tokens.
handfuloflight··on Agentic Software Engineering Book
Why do people read magazines about <x thing they can do> when they can be doing that thing?
handfuloflight··on Aqua: A CLI message tool for AI agents
So many primitives. All for the taking. Danke.
handfuloflight··on Trunk Based Development
Put that in your CLAUDE.MD.
handfuloflight··on Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents
Great story. And it distills what the claw stuff is all about, in terms of utility is actually here. It's the multitude of "channels", out of the box, that you can enable that allow you to speak with the actual AI agent with access to the configured environment.
handfuloflight··on How I use Claude Code: Separation of planning and execution
So is GP.

This is clearly a standard AI exposition:

LLM's are like unreliable interns with boundless energy. They make silly mistakes, wander into annoying structural traps, and have to be unwound if left to their own devices. It's like the genie that almost pathologically misinterprets your wishes.

handfuloflight··on Trunk Based Development
Funny. The AI told me the same thing.
handfuloflight··on Claude Code's compaction discards data that's still on disk
What's nicer about their handoff feature?
