piratebroadcast··on Gemini 4 Argon
When Antigravity first came out, when I installed it, it made itself the default application to open all programming file types.... .txt. json, csv, you name it. It was absolutely infuriating and took me a month to put everything back to normal. So they've lost a lot of trust with me.
piratebroadcast··on America.gov
FYI, America.gov accepts the Konomi Code.
piratebroadcast··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
An Openclaw, Hermes Agent type system that is meant to be ran on a home server, built in Rails with a Tauri 2 front-end.
piratebroadcast··on Ask HN: 3.5 inch diskette read errors, would a period correct drive do better?
Interesting. Can you tell me more about this? I have an upcoming project that will use these disks. Thanks!
piratebroadcast··on Introducing MicroLighter
I'm not trying to be rude or unappreciative, but it's kinda crazy to me that the website itself doesn't contain the demo of the thing? I see sample code to implement it on my own site, but the site itself doesn't seem to have any highlighting or I highlighted some text and didn't see anything unusual? Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm missing something here? I'd like to see an example of what a thing does before straight up installing the code on my website.
piratebroadcast··on Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open
I have a bit of a contrarian thought here, but I tried Herdr and I didn't like it. To me, it kind of proved the opposite point it intended, in that agent orchestration actually belongs at the terminal level. I'd like to see for example a fork of Ghostty become the agent orchestration control room.
piratebroadcast··on Show HN: I RL-trained an agent that trains models with RL (for –$1.3k)
To circumvent distillation.
piratebroadcast··on Show HN: Rowboat – Open-source, local-first alternative to Claude Desktop
Rowboat markets itself as "local-first," but if you look in the actual codebase, transcription is Deepgram cloud, voice is ElevenLabs, analytics is PostHog, and the LLM is a cloud API.
piratebroadcast··on RubyLLM: A Ruby framework for all major AI providers
Why build it in such a way that there you're locked into one provider when you can just use this tool and have the ability to choose any provider in the future? I mean, even for fallbacks, like what if anthropic API is down that particular day when you need the service?
piratebroadcast··on Haystack: Open-Source AI Framework for Production Ready Agents, RAG
RubyLLM is where its at.
piratebroadcast··on The challenges of soft delete
thoughtbot wrote about this a while back https://thoughtbot.com/blog/the-hard-truth-about-soft-deleti...
piratebroadcast··on Ask HN: Being told to support IE6, any advice?
Anybody know if StimulusJS works on older browsers?
piratebroadcast··on Ask HN: Books you read in 2018?
We Are Legion (We Are Bob) was my flat-out favorite series this year. I'm positive that a lot of HN users would love it. The Punch Escrow by Tal Klein was also a favorite of this year.
piratebroadcast··on Coinbase Commerce: merchants can accept multiple digital currencies
I have a coinbase account, but it looks like like a Coinbase Commerce account. Commerce wont accept my regular Coinbase login. I guess I have to create a new account?
piratebroadcast··on Bayesian analysis of ego-depletion studies favours null hypothesis
ELI5?
piratebroadcast··on No, you’re not being paranoid. Sites really are watching your every move
Whats a js library that would do this? Would love to put a demo up on my website to show the user.
piratebroadcast··on Developer preview of TensorFlow Lite
Any React Native APIs?
piratebroadcast··on Easiest Path to Riches on the Web? An Initial Coin Offering
Anyone have a resource on the technical aspect of this? Seems like these businesses create their own cryptocurrency? Or build it on top of Ether?
piratebroadcast··on Google Earth Redesigned
I have Chrome but my computer doesnt support WebGL apparently.
piratebroadcast··on Burger King TV Ad Asks, Hoping Google Home Devices Answer
"I can't believe that those ad execs really believe that people want intrusions like that."

They know that they don't. I am starting to believe that these companies do shitty things on purpose (Looking at that Pepsi ad with the Kardashian girl) knowing full well the amount of outrage and free publicity it will get.

piratebroadcast··on Stripe opens its Atlas program to US-based startups
You sound like a fucking jackass.
piratebroadcast··on Hyper – A terminal emulator based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS
Is anyone using this on the daily to run Sidekiq, Redis, etc? I dig this and will use it if its stable and not crashing, etc.
piratebroadcast··on Ruby terminal apps toolkit
What kind of terminal apps do you write? I havent had the need for one yet and am wondering what this tool is used for.
piratebroadcast··on Ask HN: Have you ever worked on a product that was killed by technical debt?
I did work on a project that was Rails 3, and for various reasons, it can never be upgraded without basically rebuilding the entire system. They keep hoping for an exit that will simply never happen because who would buy a rotting system like that? I think myself and only a few other devs there understood the situation. Its not like sales or the CEO fully understood.
piratebroadcast··on Plan to restrict highly skilled foreign workers could be a boon for India
Ive been concerned about Zuckerberg and Theil using Trump to get their FWD.us thing passed and start importing cheap developers here.
piratebroadcast··on Put Yourself on Internet with Jekyll, GitHub and Cloudflare
Jekyll created static websites, with no database for an attack vector. I learned this the hard way after having a few digital ocean droplets compromised, no backups, etc. Thats one advantage.

piratebroadcast··on Chart.js 2.0 Released
Can some add HTML to the documentation, or maybe make a codepen, along with using it with a CDN? Im trying to use it in a test app but I;m not quite getting how everything is fitting together. A single HTML page with everything on it would be really ideal.

piratebroadcast··on Panama Papers: Email Hackable via WordPress, Docs Hackable via Drupal
I completely agree but some people don't want to admit what a huge failure Drupal is after they've spent years of their lives working on it, with it, promoting to clients and defending it.
