iamsaitam··on Show HN: Yoink – Spotify to lossless with full metadata, self-hostable, ad-free
What does this have to do with copyright? This is stealing pure and simple. If you walk out of a museum with one of its art pieces, you're not going to get arrested for copyright infringement.
iamsaitam··on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers
1. Buy music when you can, and when you can't, listen to what you own, don't steal.

there, fixed it for you

iamsaitam··on Ask HN: Is Claude down again?
Login failed: Request failed with status code 500

Good times..

iamsaitam··on Claude is an Electron App because we've lost native
The meaning of native in these discussions is "no web technologies", because Qt gets thrown around and that's as native as to macOS as Electron, just in a different manner.
iamsaitam··on Anthropic announces proof of distillation at scale by MiniMax, DeepSeek,Moonshot
At least they paid you for it.. unlike you
iamsaitam··on How to make a living as an artist
Why?
iamsaitam··on Luce: First Electric Ferrari
404, no exterior car pictures found
iamsaitam··on The Codex App
Why should they? It's not like these apps will be around for long
iamsaitam··on Automatic Programming
Or for another analogy, just substitute the LLM for an outsourced firm. Instead of hiring a firm to do the work, you're hiring a LLM.
iamsaitam··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
Not that I know of, it just occurred to me while trying to be descriptive and succinct at the same time. English isn't my mother tongue.
iamsaitam··on Show HN: Coi – A language that compiles to WASM, beats React/Vue
This looks very interesting! Do you have any tips/pointers on how one could use Coi to generate a component and then integrate it into an existing project which uses a traditional Javascript framework?
iamsaitam··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
Never forget that the majority of what you see online is biased towards edge framing, being the subject matter incredible or terrible. Just as people curate their online profiles to make their lives appear more "appealing" than they actually are, they do the same curating in other areas.
iamsaitam··on Your Supabase is public if you turn off RLS
Why should we care about what non-technical people do wrong in a technical domain?
iamsaitam··on Please just try HTMX
..and be unemployed.

The article doesn't define any target audience in specific, so there you go.

iamsaitam··on The fuck off contact page
They explained it. It goes against the client's goals. Massive investment in customer support? It's about generating leads. I think you're seen it as a SaaS offering which the writer has mentioned multiple times, isn't the case for the client.
iamsaitam··on Electron vs. Tauri
"Compatibility issues across system webviews are exceedingly rare, especially for the major operating systems."

When it comes to CSS, there will be the same vendor issues that you have on websites. It's not a magic bullet.

iamsaitam··on Fabric Project
That's a rather obscure conflict, when you think that the two have no domain overlap
iamsaitam··on Google Antigravity exfiltrates data via indirect prompt injection attack
If the secrets are in a .env file and you have them in your .gitignore they don't, as you should.
iamsaitam··on FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs
The problem lies in the fact that these companies are generating work for volunteers on a different time-scale and binding them to it by giving them X days before disclosing vulnerabilities. No one wants their project to have security vulnerabilities that might affect a lot of users, which creates pressure in dealing with them.

The open source model is broken in this regard, licenses need to address revenue and impose fees on these companies, which can be used as bug bounties. Game engines do this and so should projects like FFMPEG, etc. The details are complex of course, but the current status quo is abusing people's good will.

iamsaitam··on Ribir: Non-intrusive GUI framework for Rust/WASM
It seems Rust has now achieved the glorious status of JS's "there's a new UI framework coming out every day"

iamsaitam··on One year with Next.js App Router and why we're moving on
wouter is great until you need hash routing and then it's shite.
iamsaitam··on Show HN: Write Go code in JavaScript files
Are there vaccines for these infected? I hope we can stop the spread /s
iamsaitam··on Getting syntax highlighting wrong
> If everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted.

This is very true, but not in the way the author thinks. Highlighting is the wrong term here after everything is colored. As long as you keep using the same color definitions, you should be able to blur your vision and still get a sense of what is described in the source code at the "infra-structure" level

iamsaitam··on Be Careful with Obsidian
Why do you think it's unethical?
iamsaitam··on Understanding Spec-Driven-Development: Kiro, Spec-Kit, and Tessl
> When I asked Kiro to fix a small bug (it was the same one I used in the past to try Codex), it quickly became clear that the workflow was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The requirements document turned this small bug into 4 “user stories” with a total of 16 acceptance criteria, including gems like “User story: As a developer, I want the transformation function to handle edge cases gracefully, so that the system remains robust when new category formats are introduced.”

Kiro, your new corporate project manager.

iamsaitam··on The React Foundation
Why is NextJS a pile of garbage?
iamsaitam··on OpenAI Sora 2 generates videos of popular copyrighted characters
"The Wall Street Journal reported last week that before OpenAI released Sora 2, the company told talent agencies and studios if they didn’t want their copyrighted material replicated by the video generator, they would have to opt out"

I hope they get sued to death for copyright infringement.

iamsaitam··on Suno Studio, a Generative AI DAW
Refuting an analogy only proves that the analogy doesn't fit perfectly.
iamsaitam··on The latest Hunger Games novel may have been co-authored by AI
Interesting that in music, ghostwriters are known and pretty much not hidden in any way.
