ricketteon Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]

The only difference between CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md is the filename. Do you really need a whole plugin system to support that use case? Feels like this could have been a one line change.

ricketteon Tin: full-text search for Postgres

Will this become open source?

ricketteon Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO

I'm fairly happy with uBlock Origin Lite. Sure the original was better but this one does the job as well. uBlock Origin Lite is a MV3 extension, by the same author.

ricketteon AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion

Some guy named Claude screwed up.

ricketteon YouTrackDB is a general-use object-oriented graph database

This is the successor of https://github.com/JetBrains/xodus, but with quite some differences.

ricketteon Show HN: DOM-docx – HTML to native, editable Word docs (MIT)

Interesting but how is an "autoresearch loop" different than creating a spec and X number of testcases and letting an agent run against these testcases and the spec?

ricketteon So You Want to Define a Well-Known URI

LLMs.txt is also nonsense since it isn't adopted by any of the major AI players.

ricketteon Microsoft turns to AWS as GitHub faces AI capacity crunch

Thanks for the insight, changes my perspective.

ricketteon Microsoft turns to AWS as GitHub faces AI capacity crunch

Easy to criticize this, but I rather see GitHub survive than fail under its own success. So thanks for acting on this MS!

ricketteon Ask HN: Is the web for machines (/llm.txt) the one we wished we had as humans?

Does any of the LLM providers actually use llms.txt?

If I remember correctly this "standard" was setup by someone but without involvement of any of the major AI players.

ricketteon Clean code in the age of coding agents

Still Go/Rust/Typescript is on a whole other level of adoption compared to Zig

ricketteon Updates to our web search products and Programmable Search Engine capabilities

Curious on what (how much) hardware your running this.

ricketteon JetBrains cancels Fleet

Really? I'm daily driving JetBrains IDEs on Apple M3 and don't recognize any if this. Just give it a bunch of extra heap memory (eg 4g instead if 1gb) and it's fast!

ricketteon I can't recommend Grafana anymore

Well the docs say the old way (no Kafka) is on its way out:

"However, this architecture is set to be deprecated in a future release."

So it doesn't stay optional unfortunately. It quite a heavy dependency to include...

ricketteon AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1

Couple of years ago us-east was considered the least stable region here on HN due to its age. Is that still a thing?

ricketteon Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?

Adobe Flex with Adobe Catalyst. Design a GUI in Photoshop, export it to Flex/Flash to add interactivity.

Looked cool during demos. Got killed when Flash died.

ricketteon RediShell: Critical remote code execution vulnerability in Redis

Exactly, also requires authentication. How can this be 10/10?

Only the higher/highest tier Google Workspace users can send these kind of emails. Anyone can read them.

ricketteon Cursor 1.7

JetBrains native AI assistant supports Ollama out of the box. No need for a 3rd party plugin anymore.

See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/use-custom-model...

ricketteon Auth.js is now part of Better Auth

https://github.com/authelia/authelia?

ricketteon Open Social

Shindig https://shindig.apache.org/ was the reference implementation of this spec. Was pretty novel at the time.

ricketteon Docker Hub Is Down

Well to be fair: this doesn't happen very often. It's quite a stable service in my experience.

ricketteon Dear GitHub: no YAML anchors, please

GitHub Actions originally supported HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language) instead of YAML. But the YAML force was too strong: https://github.blog/changelog/2019-09-17-github-actions-will....

ricketteon TernFS – An exabyte scale, multi-region distributed filesystem

Thanks for the insight!

ricketteon TernFS – An exabyte scale, multi-region distributed filesystem

Would that kind of data not compress like crazy? Or would they need to keep all that data hot and fast.

ricketteon TernFS – An exabyte scale, multi-region distributed filesystem

Cool. Also https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS by DeepSeek which came out of High-Flyer a Chinese HFT firm.

ricketteon TernFS – An exabyte scale, multi-region distributed filesystem

Over 500PB of data, wow. Would love to know how and why "statistical models that produce price forecasts for over 50,000 financial instruments worldwide" require that much storage.
