Not a throwaway account. Real HN talk I live for this.

internet2000··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
Objectively the coolest thing ever.
internet2000··on Paint.net 5.2 alpha now runs on Linux
Bluesky is not real life.
internet2000··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Are you guys nerfing Fable 5 to make it cheaper? I know you probably can't admit to it in public, but my email is on my profile.
internet2000··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
This is straight up a conspiracy theory.
internet2000··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\MyNewKey" -Name "Example" -Value "Blah" :)
internet2000··on Why open source rocks – a new SM750 (Silicon Motion GPU) HDMI Driver
Title fix proposal: Why vibecoding rocks
internet2000··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
> "Sent from my iPhone" is an ad because the iPhone is not a meaningful part of sending the email.

It explains the brevity and any typos. That's how I see it used.

internet2000··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
So many people cared enough to complain, even in the comments here!
internet2000··on Debian votes to allow "responsible use of generative AI"
> Are there examples of anyone discussing this and reaching other conclusions?

Yes. Very notably: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct/

internet2000··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
Big difference between giving the president a gold trinket to curry favor and getting disappeared by the Communists.
internet2000··on “It works better in the app”
> [1]The "reasons" primarily are that Apple refused to support PWAs, hamstrung mobile Safari, and refused to allow third-party browsers. So while it's true that native apps can offer a better experience than mobile web apps, that's mostly just because Apple artificially restricts web apps.

This is disingenuous. Quoting Steve Jobs himself:

> We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers.

> This becomes even worse if the third party is supplying a cross platform development tool. The third party may not adopt enhancements from one platform unless they are available on all of their supported platforms. Hence developers only have access to the lowest common denominator set of features. Again, we cannot accept an outcome where developers are blocked from using our innovations and enhancements because they are not available on our competitor’s platforms.

Originally about Adobe's Flash, but can apply with no editing (!) to Google Chrome :)

internet2000··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
I'm having a hard time imagining the click wheel took you more than 10 seconds to figure out.
internet2000··on How credit card rewards became a $9.2B wealth transfer
> Long term average? Sure, it goes up, that's inflation. But do you know what causes inflationary pressure?

An economy that relies on growth, yep.

internet2000··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
You could make an X account.
internet2000··on Credit Card Rewards Became a $9.2B Wealth Transfer
Not only would the 3% fee not make me blink, as my cards have 3% cash back for dining, I doubt I'd change my behavior even at a 5% discount. If anything it'd dissuade me slightly from patronizing the restaurant.

Credit cards are convenient and cash isn't. The genie is out of the bottle, no way to make people move back to cash.

internet2000··on How credit card rewards became a $9.2B wealth transfer
Prices don't go down, they only ever go up.

There is no situation in which interchange fees get slashed and prices go down across the board by 3% to make it worth it for card users.

internet2000··on iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses will remain on icloud.com
It won't. The news here is that it won't.
internet2000··on Migrating a Synology NAS to a UniFi UNAS Pro 8 with Robocopy, SMB Multichannel
Starting with robocopy is nuts. I'd have started with rsync and just let it run overnight. The peace of mind that it'd do the right thing and not needing to research flags are more than worth any speed tradeoffs.
internet2000··on Stop Making TUIs
Not only I want people to stop making TUIs, I want you to stop maintaining your TUI library!
internet2000··on Bun 1.4
Adding myself to the list of people who want to see your video.
internet2000··on Bun 1.4
It's an unconditional success no matter how you slice it.
internet2000··on Who owns the code?
Scary headline to advertise a workshop ran by a lawyer, great. → https://whoownsthecode.com/workshops/

I won't pretend to have kept up with all the developments, since this is not settled law at all. But I can't imagine the consensus doesn't end somewhere around "if you told the AI what and how to code it, you're the author."

internet2000··on Cursor Origin
Awesome stuff, about time.

A common refrain in the commentariat is "if AI makes you so more productive, where's all the new ambitious software?" Here you are, here's an AI assisted Github clone.

internet2000··on Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker
In case anyone here missed it, there's a native Ublock Origin for Safari. It works great → https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269...
internet2000··on Is it all just vapourware?
> Why hasn't GIMP replicated Photoshop?

My guess is that open source folks overindex on being anti-AI.

internet2000··on Os8088: A powerful Mac-like OS for the IBM XT, 286, 386
Fun little toy. Wonder how much in tokens went into it.
internet2000··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
I don't need faith, I need a paycheck. How I earn it has changed over the years, and will continue to change.
internet2000··on Zed DeltaDB
I don't want Zed to focus on accommodating WSL's quirks.
internet2000··on IP and DNS Leaks in WebKit Affecting Proxy Browsers and iCloud Private Relay
Networking is not handled by the rendering engine, which is an only a part of a browser app. That’s a credible claim.
internet2000··on An Honest Review of AI Programming
3,300 words but nothing new to say.
