mh2266··on Austin’s surge of new housing construction drove down rents

I got billed by plate at gravel parking lots in places in Iceland where there were probably more sheep nearby than human residents. Embarrassing.

mh2266··on Trevor Milton is raising funds for a new jet he claims will transform flying

I don't understand the purpose of writing multiple comments about the age of consent on a thread that is unambiguously about sexual assault. It wouldn't matter if she was 40 years old!

mh2266··on Trevor Milton is raising funds for a new jet he claims will transform flying

ok, but it wasn't consensual?

mh2266··on Trevor Milton is raising funds for a new jet he claims will transform flying

is the intended point here that it is okay to sexually abuse 16 year olds, so everything is fine—but 15 year olds are right out? or... what?

mh2266··on Trevor Milton is raising funds for a new jet he claims will transform flying

is he going to roll it down a hill to make it take off?

mh2266··on I don't know Apple's endgame for the Fn/Globe key–or if Apple does

but then how would you press escape?

Buried in here: Mark Pilgrim suddenly reappearing after his sudden disappearance years ago! Has he been up to anything since then?

mh2266··on How to talk to anyone and why you should

I live in NYC. Maybe this is different in the suburbs. Nearly 100% of the people that approach me are trying to get something from me. Scam me, get me to sign something I don't want to sign, get me to donate my money to save the dogs/children/etc.

If someone on the street tries to talk to me, I try to avoid even looking at them or acknowledging them. They'll use that as an opening. Just keep walking.

mh2266··on AI is making junior devs useless

This post, ironically, seems very likely to have been written by an LLM :/

"it's not x, but y", with bonus em-dash:

> your value as a developer is not in your ability to ship code. It’s in your ability to look at code

"But here’s the thing."

"And honestly?"

mh2266··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk

responding to "Visa for all employees." (I know that is a quote from a tweet)

LeCun is starting is own thing, I doubt he wants to drop it? He also lives in NYC afaik, he is a professor at NYU.

mh2266··on The most-seen UI on the internet? Redesigning turnstile and challenge pages

"Let's be honest" is another extremely strong tell.

mh2266··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk

Do all of the employees want to move to Europe suddenly? Unless it’s the UK or Ireland, do they speak the local language? If it is the UK or Ireland, do they prefer the weather in California? Do they have children in school or in college locally? Do they have family they’d rather not move 9 time zones away from? Elderly parents they’re taking care of?

mh2266··on Layoffs at Block

ymmv of course, but 2023 was a low point for tech stocks that have exploded since then, and at companies with four-year grants it's going very well for people that got good refreshers, or even better an initial grant, in 2023. well, if they haven't been fired, but statistically most haven't.

it's a casual point of discussion at my company because people expect a spike in attrition next year when those grants run out, everyone is holding onto the golden handcuffs.

mh2266··on You are not supposed to install OpenClaw on your personal computer

> isn't just the attack surface — it's the trust boundary collapse

sigh

mh2266··on You are not supposed to install OpenClaw on your personal computer

the point is to give it access to your email so it can do email things, putting it in a container stops it from rm -rf / but it doesn't stop it from, well, doing anything it can do with email

mh2266··on NanoClaw moved from Apple Containers to Docker

turns out it doesn’t even need to be an attacker…

I hear a lot about people doing this but it really seems like it is prompt injection as a service. eventually the things that can happen when you give the world write access to an unattended LLM that can access both your browser and password reset mechanism will happen.

or someone will just make it email lewd pics to people’s bosses for the lols

mh2266··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards

Kinesis freestyle is basically this, they seem to have discontinued the "Pro" mechanical version in favor of an RGB l337 gam3r one but maybe you can just leave that off

mh2266··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use

woof, does Anthropic not have a comms team and a clear comms policy for employees that aren’t on that comms team?

mh2266··on "Token anxiety", a slot machine by any other name

what kind of lame parties is the bluesky poster going to? is this a San Francisco thing?

mh2266··on "Token anxiety", a slot machine by any other name

Anthropic themselves have described CC as a slot machine:

mh2266··on Privilege is bad grammar

“Ratty old” and “formal” are not the only options. I dress mostly in techwear brands like Veilance, Outlier, and ACRNM, which is not ratty and old but is also very much not formal or uncomfortable.

idk, seems in character

mh2266··on Intermittent fasting may make little difference to weight loss, review finds

How do people that do this exercise? are they mostly sedentary?

I mostly ride bikes for exercise and need fuel at least every hour on a ride or else I will bonk out. My output is 500kcal/hour based on power meter, a 4 hour ride would be 2000kcal, it's not doable without some food intake.

mh2266··on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling

I still don't understand. If TikTok simply showed the user every single TikTok ever created, strictly in reverse chronological order, it would still be an infinite scrolling UI.

The sorting algorithm that they choose isn't what makes a UI infinite scrolling or not, they're completely orthogonal. In MVC architecture terms they're model and view respectively...

mh2266··on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling

What does ranking vs. chronological having to do with infinite scrolling?

You can have a ranked paginated UI. You can also have an "infinite" (until you run out of items, but this is not different for ranked) chronological UI.
