naushniki··on It's not empowering to hand off the details
Is it true that you are only as good a programmer with AI as you are without?
naushniki··on FUSE is All You Need – Giving agents access to anything via filesystems
I agree with most people who commented. This looks like an abstraction without a clear purpose, which is not a good thing. Particularly, using fuse as a wrapper for a REST API is ineffective and redundant, since an LLM can work with it more effectively using curl provided an API spec in any format.
naushniki··on Google Fiber is coming to Las Vegas
I remember reading about Google Fiber in the news 10+ years ago. At that time the idea of having a multi-gigabit internet connection at home felt very exciting and futuristic. Today, fiber at home is almost a given in many countries. I mean, it is good that LA residents will have access to fast internet. But this is commodity now. I don't get it why is this in the news.

I know that the official Mac client is much less stable then the Windows one.

By this logic quantum physics is also not scientific.
naushniki··on Humanities aren't a science and shouldn't be treated like one (2012)
I think anything can be a subject to scientific study. Methods are what is essential for a study being scientific, not the subject.
naushniki··on Ask HN: What happens next after a successful lockdown?
Thank you for quoting poetry in a context. And good luck with employment!
naushniki··on Show HN: Kasaya – A scripting language and runtime for browser automation
Does it use Selenium under the hood?
naushniki··on Unofficial Windows XP SP4
Ironically, XP had issues with running legacy software back in the day, as it was the first NT-based OS targeted on desktop computers.
naushniki··on Every productivity thought I've ever had, as concisely as possible
I wonder when achieving personal productivity has become a widespread problem and why did this happen.
