handonam··on Show HN: Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep
The one thing I'm a bit nervous about: security. Thoughts of supply-chain "what-ifs" gives me a bit of pause here. Would like to hear security-minded folks give their thoughts on this.

Does this have something to do with their merger with McDonnell Douglas?
handonam··on BYD launches $15,000 EV
We only have the perspective as observers outside of China, so I would caution how we interpret this article.

However, it may be possible that this COULD be the Corolla for the Chinese market. They do have a lot of EV manufacturers (300+ I believe?).

State-side (or even worldwide)? It takes some more convincing. And the article doesn't explicitly say it would be the next Corolla killer for the US market..

handonam··on Add Friction to Your Onboarding
i'm doubtful of this being causation. But, if it is, isn't this basically a clickbait-y way of saying you are trying to create "sunk cost"?
handonam··on Langchain Is Pointless
the consistency and conventionality of the methods in the langchain library are very sporadic, imo
handonam··on Show HN: I built an autopilot for the lunar lander game
this is great! The one thing i think to optimize it is to predict how late to start the engine to minimize its usage. The last I got was 730 times used, at 53seconds.

handonam··on ct.css – Take a look inside your <head>
Absolutely this!

I did a migration/update of a site using this idea (before styled-components became the norm), and it was just insane how much CSS was saved. The new design was AT MOST half the size of the original.

CSSWizardry, aka Harry Roberts, who is (was?) big on BEMCSS and ITCSS, and the author of https://cssguidelin.es/.

He's helped me really understand how to properly take care of CSS and make sense of them.

Recommend reading his blog and that guidelines site to get a grip on CSS if you've struggled with it.

handonam··on How long does a bottle of wine last after it is opened?
it's funny this article came up. I just pulled wine from 14 days ago that was in my Eto (mentioned in the article) and it tasted just as great as when I poured it on day 1.

I've used it since the Kickstarter in 2018. For a single glass drinker like myself, this (admittedly expensive) thing really helped me stretch my money over the long haul, because now I don't have to waste my wines.

edit: I suppose the Kickstarter price was 50% of what it is now. oof glad I got it

handonam··on Ask HN: Dark mode for HN please?
I wonder if removing the whitespace on the original, while adding this, would give us a net filesize modification of 0
handonam··on Autopilot Full Self-Driving Demonstration [video]
It seems like the right-bound of the lane (the right red line in the midview camera) was not calculated, so it thinks the joggers were inside a big lane. that'd be my guess as to why they would think the joggers were not "outside" of the lane for the system to breeze by. At 1:23-1:24, there's a person walking their pet and it looks like they were really close, but the camera was able to detect the right boundary.
handonam··on The No More Ransom Project
Would a NAS like QNAP/Synology be sufficient, with proper maintenance (updates, antivirus scanning, credentials)? Trying to think of what I could be mindful of here.
handonam··on 5K iMac Gets 10-Bit Color
Would that mean the RGB values change in the future?

It would go from 0-F to 0-K wouldn't it?

so... #KKK = white? ;(

Harry Roberts really simplifies the idea of it.
