porksoda··on GPS glitched across the US by as much as 33 feet
You've kind of spoiled my day with this. Its like an angry chess game when you've got momentum, you POUNCE! But nobody else here appears to have chosen violence. really I get that he "maybe snarked you". But you should be reminded of the beautiful rules of hn discussions.
porksoda··on Zuckerberg's superyacht ignored emergency channel, failed to aid stranded boat
Wasn't he murdered in prison while the howling mob hated him and sent his lady to eat unflavoured tofu? I mean sometimes karma could do better but it ain't nothin
porksoda··on Microsoft Edge is about to lock out older ad blockers, just like Chrome did
I update ff as much as the next guy, I don't know what you're talking about. Weird how we don't disagree.... But seemingly the same world has two faces.
porksoda··on Tell HN: Old.reddit.com Requires Login
By still being there at all, you've been complacent all along. Sometimes my principles sting but within a day or two of leaving, I didn't miss it at all.
porksoda··on Microsoft Edge is about to lock out older ad blockers, just like Chrome did
One can simply fire up a claude and tell it what you'd like to change. A few minutes to sign the extension and Firefox does exactly what you'd like it to. I relayy just do not understand why HN comments pretend this option doesn't exist, or that this is so hard. I have extensions linking it with my i3 setup, setting custom CSS on wm actions, custom shortcuts, what have you. It takes maybe an hour of work to do it nicely.
porksoda··on Microsoft Edge is about to lock out older ad blockers, just like Chrome did
One can just click the little buttons once, and get on with the business of the day. I don't understand why this seems so hard?
porksoda··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
Evolution is really slow as you say. It even stops moving at all without selecting pressure.
porksoda··on Qwen 3.8
My experience was so much different to this, that I have the unfortunate impression that you're shilling. It really was not a capable model, it felt like the old oai models back when we were all excited but couldn't actually trust them even in the littlest ways. What harness were you using, did you do any work to make it better? What was I doing wrong? I just pointed opencode at it, with a pretty simple (large-ish) data cleaning project.
porksoda··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
Never had one closed, only ever bothered posting twice. One obscure tumbleweed issue that slowly turned into something I was quite proud of... And one that was so unpleasant a little experience I never came back. Nothing serious just god why.

What was my point... Oh right. I don't assume anyone's making this stuff up. The pla

porksoda··on Guide to data tools landscape for developers
It is a POS. Try connect a read-only while another proc is connected, you cannot. Try have separate processes cooperate, db corrupts if open too close on heels of close. I hate ddb with the power of a thousand sharp wet farts. I bitched to my new boss and no sympathy, imagine the schadenfreude when a week later I heard the whole team move to postgres - the boss hit his own head on the thing.
porksoda··on Flock CEO Apologizes for Calling Activists 'Terrorists'
Possibly because many people are so bored with this old flock story. What this silly man says is meaningless to me at least. I'm sure the Americans will sort it out. In time.
porksoda··on Meta reuses old RAM in new servers with custom bridge chip
We do already, if it ooms at 32g I have to prompt again /s

Most of the time what we call listening is just our way of waiting for our turn. Paraphrasing some smart person.

A different smart person once taught me that the most interesting and effective conversation is one where you speak only using questions. If you're curious then questions are natural, if you want to argue, then questions are a masterfully manipulative form...

Its hard to do

porksoda··on Claude Fable 5
Why. That was just uncalled for. Sigh
porksoda··on Alzheimer's patient gets back speech, bladder control and memory in drug trial
I just got to the bottom of your argumentative thread and I just got to say: "says you".
porksoda··on SpaceX S-1
In the 90s we had people talking like this about The Internet. They're all over on FB now, with a detour in between to say stuff like "my isp can track me!?"
porksoda··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
Thanks for that
porksoda··on What is jj and why should I care?
I may be reading too deeply but it sounds like you haven't even tried it. You should! Its really hard to live without it, once you feel it in your fingers.
porksoda··on jj – the CLI for Jujutsu
Great opinion. Have you tried it? It takes just 30 minutes to wash all the Stockholm syndrome off of you.
porksoda··on US appeals court declares 158-year-old home distilling ban unconstitutional
In this very comment section an earlier post claimed the opposite (that specifically grain fermentation did not produce the big M), and sounded just as knowlegable and plausible to the lay-ear.
porksoda··on The EU still wants to scan your private messages and photos
Only if you have more votes after it passes, to vote on unpassing it again
porksoda··on Ask HN: What single AI tool/technique 10x'd your productivity last year?
Are they still arbitrarily changing the keyboard shortcuts around without any option to customise?

Made me so mad.

porksoda··on Tell HN: Claude session limits getting small
I have a few codes pro keys, in heavy refactoring on a large codebase I can blow through one account's weekly limit in a day. Its no longer about the limit though - a full day for $20ish is awesome - it is imo just better at everything than claude was.
porksoda··on Prediction markets are ushering in a world in which news becomes about gambling
Me too, and I wish you would have answered the clear request for enlightenment instead of pointing out the obvious fact that we weren't in your class.
porksoda··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
Its everywhere. I worked with a micro-manager CTO who farmed code review out to claude, which of course, when instructed to find issues with my code, did so.

With little icons of rocket ships and such.

porksoda··on If you're going to vibe code, why not do it in C?
The first time i asked it about some code in a busy monorepo and it said "oh bob asked me to do this last week when he was doing X, it works like Y and you can integrate it with your stuff like Z, would you like to update the spec now?"... I had some happy feelings. I dont know how they do it without clobbering the context, but it's great.
porksoda··on Claude Code 2.0
That is just nuts! Not in my dreams will claude yolo commands into my system.

What are we even talking about? I think life itself grants us the right to get high or pet wild animals or swim the atlantic or sudo rm-rf... Or yes-and-accept-edits at 3AM with a 50 hour uptime (yes guilty) but then we don't get to complain that it's dangerous. We surely were warned.

porksoda··on Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context
Remember the ones who loudly proclaimed the internet to be a passing fad, not useful for normal people. All anti LLM rants taste like that to me.

I get why they thought that - it was kind of crappy unless you're one who is excited about the future and prepared to bleed a bit on the edge.
