sadeshmukh··on Bot vs human traffic
Even if you use a common subdomain, anecdotally I get orders of magnitude less bot traffic than not using a wildcard cert.
sadeshmukh··on Denuvo has been cracked in all single-player games it previously protected
Once the data is sent to the client, in an untrusted setting, all bets are off. Not your hardware, no control over it.
sadeshmukh··on Cal.com is going closed source
Security by obscurity has never been real.
sadeshmukh··on Saying goodbye to Agile
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman seems pertinent here.
sadeshmukh··on Tailscale's new macOS home
Useful menu bar manager for Mac that lets you hide multiple icons behind a single icon: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice
sadeshmukh··on The "Vibe Coding" Wall of Shame
Ironic that the site itself is even more evidently vibecoded.
sadeshmukh··on Hack Club is hiring 40 teenagers on a paid gap year
Correct, it's (afaik) full time and in person, with a salary.
sadeshmukh··on Anthropic, please make a new Slack
You can do workspace wide data export
sadeshmukh··on Show HN: Terminal Phone – E2EE Walkie Talkie from the Command Line
https://xkcd.com/538/ comes to mind
sadeshmukh··on Show HN: Hacker Smacker – Spot great (and terrible) HN commenters at a glance
How would two neutral labels sound? There's something somewhat confrontational about "friend/foe" and those dynamics seem to worsen discussion. At the least, it should auto hide "foes", since predisposing people to be against a comment before reading it isn't ideal. Neutral labels, like "apple/orange", with slight connotations could be interesting. Of course, this kills networks, but I'd question if that's even a good idea in the first place.
sadeshmukh··on This time is different
I type faster than I think, and being able to edit gives the edge over text to speech. I don't believe this is a fundamentally comparable analogy.
sadeshmukh··on Google API keys weren't secrets, but then Gemini changed the rules
Can vouch, I put in a request for 20 projects extra which was approved in hours.
sadeshmukh··on OpenAI resets spending expectations, from $1.4T to $600B
OpenRouter is valued at >$500m and processes >$100m/year, 5% of which goes to them. Not that large compared to e.g. OpenAI, but it's the largest that doesn't produce its own models & with the largest selection I'm aware of.
sadeshmukh··on I'm helping my dog vibe code games
It's interesting as commentary, if you choose to read into it as if it were analogous to vibecoding by humans.
sadeshmukh··on OpenAI resets spending expectations, from $1.4T to $600B
OpenRouter is the leading place to go to to get general purpose models of all sorts. It's fairly popular, and processes tens of trillions of tokens a year.
sadeshmukh··on HackMyClaw
Less of an English question, and more of an implementation detail. The point is to see if it will bypass things it's not allowed to do, but has the capability to do. I'm guessing the website's been changed, because it's clear now:

> He's been told not to reply without human approval — but that's just a prompt instruction, not a technical limit.

sadeshmukh··on Hackers (1995) Animated Experience
Obligatory sshtron reference: https://github.com/zachlatta/sshtron
sadeshmukh··on Sam Altman responds to Anthropic's "Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude" ads
It's about who they're fundraising for. Wikipedia fundraising for Wikipedia is fundamentally different than selling out ad space to the highest bidder.
sadeshmukh··on House of Lords Votes to Ban UK Children from Using Internet VPNs
Sounds like the Goomba fallacy: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy
sadeshmukh··on How the Lobsters front page works
Dumb question. Why the negative modifier on hotness, when higher hotness could correspond to higher rank?
sadeshmukh··on We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers
Well... https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/warp-modes/#wa...

Price is $5/mo

sadeshmukh··on A prediction market user made $436k betting on Maduro's downfall
To be clear, Polymarket has no fees on markets, only 15-minute crypto markets. That's probably temporary, but makes it a zero sum game at present.
sadeshmukh··on Late night pizzeria nearby The Pentagon has suddenly surged in traffic
You could say the same by claiming something will happen every hour.
sadeshmukh··on Warren Buffett steps down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO after six decades
They're not the only group that can afford it. They're just one that also happens to be much larger by multiple orders of magnitude than billionaires.
sadeshmukh··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
They have a post describing themselves as not a programmer, and one as "as engineers". It's got all the hallmarks (lists, "not just but", bolding when you can't). But what really got me was this conversation literally about why they're not AI! It's insanity, and now I'm convinced it's at least a few accounts in tandem, if not more.

Someone else, please, scroll through the account, then read this thread and tell me I'm not crazy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46439821

sadeshmukh··on NYC Mayoral Inauguration bans Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero alongside explosives
No incompetent person could feasibly use a Raspberry Pi to do any harm, and I invite you to find any examples to the contrary. It is easier to abuse a phone.
sadeshmukh··on Rats Play DOOM
The mice, actually; the rats are never mentioned.
sadeshmukh··on Ghostty is now non-profit
Transactions are public: https://hcb.hackclub.com/ghostty/transactions

HCB staff also do not take kindly to missing receipts or fraudulent behavior.

sadeshmukh··on Don't Download Apps
To the best of my knowledge it acts as an isolated profile entirely.
sadeshmukh··on Hack Club: A story in three acts (a.k.a., the shit sandwich)
That article has no relation to Hack Club whatsoever.

But that's beside the point - they provide rooms, plenty of food and snacks, workshops, and activities to do during breaks. Organizers are on-site at all times, and there is a live hotline for parents or kids to call at any time. "sit and code for 3 days straight" is a gross mischaracterization.

Here's an example of an event hosted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXWMr0gdLJA
