This is a wrong move on so many levels.
hartator··on RubyLLM: A Ruby framework for all major AI providers
‘acts_as_chat’ feels super cute indeed.
hartator··on TREX: An AI code reviewer that runs your code
In my experience, you still are left with these annoying parts. (Ie, figuring out how to give appropriate access to your agents)
hartator··on Show HN: DomainTasker – avoid losing domains and surprise renewals
You need a screenshot of the UI instead of a 16-pages AI-generated brand guideline.
hartator··on SpaceX, Other Mega IPOs Denied Fast Index Entry by S&P
I don’t know. Will this just delay bubble burst as people will be just waiting for the index inclusion?
hartator··on MAI-Thinking-1
I like it so much when a website hijacks the way my scroll works. This is truly innovative.
hartator··on Experience: We found a baby on the subway – now he's our 26-year-old son
I feel adoption is either super easy or super hard. No one claims the system is fair. It can also be the article skipped on these difficulties for a better headline.
hartator··on Google Declaring War on the Web
While they seem against being scraped themselves: https://serpapi.com/blog/google-v-serpapi-motion-to-dismiss-...
hartator··on India's hottest district shuts at 10 am as mercury breaches 48 C mark
I saw 118 in Austin. 119 is hot.
hartator··on Shutterstock to pay $35M over hard-to-cancel subscriptions
Shouldn’t auto renew and auto commit though.
hartator··on CUDA Books
Or make your agents do the reading for you!
hartator··on Show HN: Nibble
What’s IR?
hartator··on AMÁLIA and the future of European Portuguese LLMs
What a waste of time and money.

Trying to force a LLM into a specific language makes you missed out on most of the world knowledge.

hartator··on ReMarkable Paper Pure
yeah, they kind lost their way. I don’t mind paying premium prices, but I don’t want them to cheap out on the display.
hartator··on ReMarkable Paper Pure
A tad disappointed in this RM2 refresh.

226 ppi seems low.

hartator··on For thirty years I programmed with Phish on, every day
> Phish

Thought it was an early AI or something.

OP, I sure it’s just a transition. AI will get faster, feedback loops shorter, and we will be back at a more traditional flow state.

hartator··on Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage
Everything starts to feel like AI slop these days. Including this comment.

How is refusing to kill your fellow men selfishness? For one organization over one other?
hartator··on Artemis II will use laser beams to live-stream 4K moon footage at 260 Mbps
AI knows what really people want to see.
hartator··on MacBook Neo
> No camera notch

This is a positive though.

The light has stopped shining at Apple for a bit now

hartator··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
> That 30k number came from the same source the WMDs did - paid informants who knew exactly what they were being paid to deliver.

The Iran official number was still 3,117.

It’s not that crazy to think the number is closer to 30k than to this.

hartator··on New accounts on HN more likely to use em-dashes
Biggest tell that a comment is AI: it's deeply uninteresting.

No one wants to read your ChatGPT outputs.

hartator··on “Car Wash” test with 53 models
What if your car is already there?
hartator··on Google vs. SerpApi: We're Filing a Motion to Dismiss
I think this blog post reflects our thinking.

Beyond SerpApi’s self-interest, we believe the threat to the open web is real.

hartator··on Rivian R2: Electric Mid-Size SUV
Yes, copy FSD instead that no CarPlay cult.
hartator··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Contradictory regulations is one of the symptoms of overregulation.

I.e., complying to GDPR means you can’t comply to cybersecurity laws.

US has less of those.

hartator··on Ross Stevens Donates $100M to Pay Every US Olympian and Paralympian $200k
Real answer are probably tax benefits for Ross.

He can now report a $100M donation, let it grow for 20 years, pay the actual donation, and pocket the remainder tax free.
