metadaemon··on How to Setup a Local Coding Agent on macOS
Has anyone compared a setup like this to just using LM Studio?
metadaemon··on System Card: Claude Mythos Preview [pdf]
I've noticed my bar for "fast" has gone down quite a bit since the o1 days. It used to be one of the main things I evaluated new models for, but I've almost completely swapped to caring more about correctness over speed.
metadaemon··on Unconventional Ways to Cast in TypeScript
Surprised the `satisfies` operator wasn't called out
metadaemon··on Claude Memory
As someone who hasn't used any skills, I haven't noticed any degradation
metadaemon··on US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces
I highly doubt Putin is concerned with the aesthetics of the White House
metadaemon··on Flock's Aggressive Expansions Go Far Beyond Simple Driver Surveillance
Wait until you see what Axon is doing
metadaemon··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
I'd also like to second this and probably will in every Zed post. This is the primary reason I'm not ready to switch to Zed just yet.
metadaemon··on Ask HN: GitHub Copilot down?
GitHub seems to be down as a whole.
metadaemon··on Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan, improves survival of aged mice
I think it's person to person, I've never had any stomach issues at all.
metadaemon··on You can now disable all AI features in Zed
Also wish they would put more emphasis on autocompletions, that's like 99% of what I use AI for is basically a better Intellisense
metadaemon··on Ozzy Osbourne has died
Did you mean a better world than Keith?
metadaemon··on I should have loved biology too
Makes sense, my perceived best professors were those that were enthusiastic about teaching and/or the subject
metadaemon··on Ghostty 1.0
missing z/OS as well...
metadaemon··on GitHub cuts AI deals with Google, Anthropic
I'm a hypocrite because I'm now currently paying for Cody due to their integration with the new OpenAI o1-preview model. I find this model to be mind blowing and it's made me actually focus on the more mundane tasks that come with the job.
metadaemon··on Show HN: Rust Web Framework
Why did it make me laugh? I thought the delivery was funny is all.
metadaemon··on Show HN: Rust Web Framework
Not needing an ORM made me laugh
metadaemon··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
Sorry that's probably because I used the moving excuse very often when I was younger to get them to shut up.
metadaemon··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
Plus it's wild they staff an entire agency to handle these types of calls. Talk about a loser's mindset.
metadaemon··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
Conversely there is a gym in my town that was a month to month subscription with moments notice cancellation. They'd even pro-rate your remaining time back to you. I ended up joining and cancelling those gyms a lot through college years, but I'm much more willing to rejoin if it was easy to cancel.
metadaemon··on FTC announces "click-to-cancel" rule making it easier to cancel subscriptions
Yeah Spotify removed one of my family members from my 5-person subscription (only using 3 slots) so I immediately cancelled my subscription and had to deal with a lot of manipulative tactics to not cancel. This kind of behaviour 1, shouldn't be legal and 2, shouldn't be rewarded. I have plenty of Spotify alternatives, so this kind of behavior ultimately signals a floundering company resorting to hacks.
metadaemon··on In SSRI Withdrawal, Brain Zaps Go from Overlooked Symptom to Center Stage
Same with SSNIs, I get brain zaps if I don't take my medication early enough in the day. It can come with nausea too, so missing a dose can potentially ruin my evening.
metadaemon··on Show HN: Sourcebot, an open-source Sourcegraph alternative
Finding examples of how others implement similar logic is my biggest use case for code searching, but since GitHub copied SourceGraph, I don't have much of a need for these self-hosted solutions.
metadaemon··on Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week
d) tax incentives?
metadaemon··on Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week
There's a life and death cycle even for companies and its important to remember that. Leaving and starting somewhere fresh seems natural.
metadaemon··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
I was reading and thought this was about as concrete as they got:

"The new mechanical architecture improves heat dissipation and efficiency for up to 20 percent better sustained performance. Along with the new internal design and advanced power management of iOS 18, larger batteries are optimized to offer a huge leap in battery life."

metadaemon··on Using AI to fight insurance claim denials
I think about this a lot. It's certainly not sustainable for streaming companies to consistently increase end-user pricing. I understand why they are doing it, but there will only be an increasing number of individuals unwilling to watch X amount of ads or pay X amount a month.
metadaemon··on The Syndicated Actor Model
I clicked around on Tony's site and found this listing of Syndicate related repositories: https://syndicate-lang.org/code/repos/
metadaemon··on Show HN: Parallel DOM – Upgrade your DOM to be multithreaded
I do love the idea of a dedicated compiler handling my builds. Even with the most modern build tools today, large web applications can take minutes to build which doesn't include type checking, linting and testing. If you're not prioritizing build times as your app grows, this can quickly balloon.
metadaemon··on Show HN: ThreadQuilt: AI-Free Thread Aggregator
You may have to start building your own reverse index if you're polling API's at query time
metadaemon··on Trading cards with e-ink displays (2023)
I'd imagine this is a direct Kabbalah reference since they goes on to talk about implementing Tarot.
