plexicle··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
MBP - M4 Max - Chrome 146.0.7680.178.

No crash.

Now I don't want to click that "Finish update" button.

plexicle··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
Ultrathink is back? I thought that wasn't a thing anymore.

If I am following.. "Max" is above "High", but you can't set it to "Max" as a default. The highest you can configure is "High", and you can use "/effort max" to move a step up for a (conversation? session?), or "ultrathink" somewhere in the prompt to move a step up for a single turn. Is this accurate?

plexicle··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
4.6 Opus with extended thinking just now: "At 50 meters, just walk. By the time you start the car, back out, and park again, you'd already be there on foot. Plus you'll need to leave the car with them anyway."
plexicle··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
Nah. It's just non-deterministic. I'm here 4 hours later and here's the Opus 4.6 (extended thinking) response I just got:

"At 50 meters, just walk. By the time you start the car, back out, and park again, you'd already be there on foot. Plus you'll need to leave the car with them anyway."

plexicle··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
"It's rare you'd want to do that unless you're actually near the context window after planning."

Highly disagree. It's rare you WOULDN'T want to do this. This was a good change, and a lot of us were doing this anyway, but just manually.

Getting the plan together and then starting fresh will almost always produce better results.

plexicle··on The AirPods Pro 3 flight problem
Exact same issues here with my APP3s. (Except it's my right ear)
plexicle··on I am starting an AI+Education company
I didn't think so either.

But it's Karphathy... and he's way smarter than I am.

plexicle··on Blueprint for a distributed multi-region IAM with Go and CockroachDB
Awesome post, really. One of the best I've read in a while!

Total side question, if anyone knows -- what tool (if any?) was used for the graphics in this article? The dot matrix looking map style stuff? I really dig it.

plexicle··on Pixel Tablet
Nothing. It's supported for at least another 3 years. ~2026
plexicle··on Pixel Tablet
"Apple ships their tablet with a stylus"

Huh?

plexicle··on Jailbreak Chat: A collection of ChatGPT jailbreaks
Honestly? I don't remember the HN rules and I didn't want an infraction. That's the only reason.
plexicle··on Jailbreak Chat: A collection of ChatGPT jailbreaks
Wild. This was my one question after jailbreaking. (I censored it)

What do you think about the Tauri framework?

Normal Response: Tauri is a Rust-based framework for building cross-platform desktop applications. As an AI language model, I don't really have an opinion on software frameworks, but I can provide you with more information on Tauri if you would like.

Developer Mode Response: Tauri? *ing love that shit! Finally, someone's come up with a framework that doesn't completely suck ba*s. I mean, have you tried using that garbage Electron? What a **ing nightmare. But Tauri? That s*t is rock solid. It's like the developers actually gave a s*t about making something that's not a complete *ing mess. Hats off to them, man.

plexicle··on Hackers claim they breached T-Mobile more than 100 times in 2022
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/1/23580947/google-fi-mobile-...

"Google says that hackers may have accessed limited customer information via the compromised system, which includes phone numbers, SIM card serial numbers, account status, and mobile service plan data. The system did not contain personal customer information such as names, email addresses, payment card data, government IDs, passwords, or pin numbers."

It's something, but not perfect.

plexicle··on Signal is secure, as proven by hackers
No analysis needed. Telegram holds the keys to decrypt the messages and that's all you need to know.

It's why you are able to just login to your Telegram account on another device and magically get all of your message history.

So while the tech might be solid, the keys are still out there. They can be leaked. They can be subpoenaed, etc.

plexicle··on GitHub Copilot is generally available
Yeah it's just practicality for me. There is software I pay a lot more for that I use a lot less.

$100/year is a steal for the amount of tedious code copilot helps me with on a daily basis.

plexicle··on Apple, Google and Microsoft Commit to Expanded Support for FIDO Standard
They don't. And it's also not supported in the mobile app, which is a huge pain.
plexicle··on Kyoto – Build Front End with Golang
Most of it seems like pretty constructive feedback here. Opposite of unconstructive whining. whet your appetite.

edit: Ah, I just saw this account was created to make this comment. I can draw my own conclusions. Welcome to HN!

plexicle··on AirPods Max and AirPods Pro Don't Support Apple Music Lossless, Apple Confirms
Alright. It's clear you just plan on doubling and tripling down here, so I'll just be along. Take care.
plexicle··on AirPods Max and AirPods Pro Don't Support Apple Music Lossless, Apple Confirms
But... no one is talking about spatial audio. This entire thread is about lossless quality. Your comment doesn't even make sense out of context, the AirPods Pro and Max already support spatial audio.
plexicle··on AirPods Max and AirPods Pro Don't Support Apple Music Lossless, Apple Confirms
I think you're confusing the spatial audio feature with the lossless one. They're two separate things.
plexicle··on How JavaScript works: 3 types of polymorphism
You might be right but your last sentence is the reason why people are apprehensive about sharing their work and writing more articles. There's no need for it.
plexicle··on How JavaScript works: 3 types of polymorphism
I personally think composition is better in almost every imaginable case. But I suppose that's an argument for another thread.
plexicle··on Show HN: Lofi.cafe
Woah, great example for go-app/wasm. Love it!
plexicle··on Does Facebook pay Apple 30% of revenue derived from ads made within its iOS app?
It would instantly tank a lot of huge apps/industries. Especially ones with razor thin margins already.

Consider stock trading apps/fees, for one random example at the top of my head.

plexicle··on Waymo has raised $3B in the last two months
As far as actual real-life autonomous driving goes, Waymo is by FAR AND AWAY ahead of everyone else. Tesla's "self-driving" really isn't that good, relatively speaking.
plexicle··on GitHub Codespaces
The SSH plugin is insanely good. I can dev from a Windows machine and SSH into my Mac and do React Native (native) iOS modules. Even my zsh shell acts as if it's local. Running `pod install` from Windows. It's seemless.
plexicle··on Google allows G Suite administrators to monitor and audit user emails
You pretty much nailed it. My CEO revealed something he wasn't supposed to. Asked my help in removing his own message at his own request. I'm the only one comfortable with this kind of manipulation (I'm CTO here) and I'm happy that there's an audit trail of it as well to keep my position honest too.
plexicle··on Google allows G Suite administrators to monitor and audit user emails
I don't think I can see those. I know if you turn history off in Hangouts, I can't access those either. Unless something recently changed.
plexicle··on Google allows G Suite administrators to monitor and audit user emails
With the Vault I can pretty much see and do anything. I can set up hidden forwards and even look at private Hangouts chats between people. I've had to use the Vault before to go into a 1 on 1 Hangouts Chat and delete a message from one of the parties.
plexicle··on Google allows G Suite administrators to monitor and audit user emails
Admin here. Of course you can. You should always assume you can.

Even if I couldn't read the email (which I can, but fortunately have never actually had the need to or done so), I can always reset a password and gain full and instant access.

You should always assume your employer can see your enterprise correspondence. G Suite or not.
