serkanyersen··on Show HN: Stele – A self-maintaining knowledge graph for AI coding agents
Hi, Founder here. happy to answer any questions
serkanyersen··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
it's fun, but this is a disaster waiting to happen. I've never seen a worse attack surface than this https://www.moltbook.com/heartbeat.md

literally executing arbitrary prompts(code) on agent's computer every 4 hours

Isn't this what happens to your money when it's in your checking account? How is this different?

serkanyersen··on Launch HN: AmpUp (YC W19) – A reservable electric car charging network
Awesome project!

Few notes about the website:

Check the meta tags. "title" says "Template" and "description" says "Sample". I tried to share this with my friends and url preview said Template / Sample.

Currently your website title is "Home" it probably should be your apps name.

Good luck.

serkanyersen··on Studying the demise of historic civilisations
Ottoman empire lasted 624 years and it's not mentioned in this article. They mention 'Western Turk (70)' and I've no idea what that means.
serkanyersen··on Astronomers Discover a Supermassive Black Hole Rotating at Half Speed of Light
pure speculation but I would assume space around that black hole would act like a vortex, like water going down the drain. so anything get close will be dragged I guess.
serkanyersen··on Amazon puts ads in people's baby registries
Check the screen shot, it's not just an ad, they basically added a sponsored item to the baby registry without telling you. This almost guarantees the purchase of this item because it fools your friends to think you need it.

If this is not shady, I don't know what is.

They can easily create a section called "You friend might also like:" and show sponsored items there.

serkanyersen··on This is Samsung’s foldable smartphone
I think the thickness is because of a special cover on the phone to hide the final design. that's also the reason why they turned down the lights.
serkanyersen··on Samsung Develops Battery Material with 5x Faster Charging Speed
> chemical vapor deposition of graphene onto SiO2 nanoparticles

I thought I was watching an episode of Flash for a moment.

serkanyersen··on Derinkuyu: Turkey’s Underground City
I'm sorry. can you provide a link, a source, that says "lopping off someone's head" is a common practice in Turkey? Why would you lie about something like this? What is your purpose?
serkanyersen··on Derinkuyu: Turkey’s Underground City
This is such an upsetting comment :( besides politics, Turkey is an awesome place to visit, with amazing history and people.

I hope you get to visit Turkey sometime in your life, I'm sure it will surprise you in a positive way.

serkanyersen··on EditorConfig – file format for defining coding styles and text editor plugins
People comparing EditorConfig to eslint or prettier does not really understand it's purpose.

yes they have intersecting features, but EditorConfig's main feature is that it lets you set file type specific whitespace rules automatically, across almost all editors.

- Most editors will have a global whitespace rule and you have to use that same rule for every file.

- Some editors can be configured to have different rules per file type but then it can't be done per project. So every project has to use the same rules.

- Some editors will let you configure all of these per project, but you have to save this project-settings file somewhere. Editor specific code is no good in the repo, so you need to maintain/backup it yourself.

EditorConfig solves all of these issues for me.

serkanyersen··on EditorConfig – file format for defining coding styles and text editor plugins
but what more could it have? Editor config is not a "should there be a space between function name and parens" kind of tool.

It's only meant to automatically configure your editor to use the defined tab/space newline preferences per file type.

that's it.

serkanyersen··on Save the Date by Google
something to note. 7 white pawns and 3 black pawns on the left.
serkanyersen··on Watt time is left
This is awesome. Thanks
serkanyersen··on Apple removing battery life estimates following MacBook Pro complaints
I got the new macbook pro 15' first two days batter life was really bad, 2 hours most. but on the 3rd day it went back to normal. now I get around 10 hours. I think it had something to do with Firevault. Encryption was running in the background and draining the battery now that it's done it's back to normal.

I think there is no need to freak out over this

serkanyersen··on 3D Acceleration on PocketC.H.I.P. Alpha
it doesn't work with USB 3.0 though. I couldn't find a usb 2.0 hub and I'm stuck. They need to figure that out.
serkanyersen··on John Carmack on Developing the Netflix App for Oculus
it reminds me of Aech's basement chatroom from Ready player one
serkanyersen··on Nibble Sort
This kind of blog posts are super interesting and depressing at the same time :) makes me question my programing skills. Almost all of the things mentioned here are over my head.

Thanks for sharing though, very interesting

serkanyersen··on Quake in your browser
For some reason it triggered vulnerability blocked warning on my device. Looks like one of the WAV files tried to execute code.

serkanyersen··on Estimating images using CSS
Misleading title. It's using Javascript to get most dominant color in an image. It has almost nothing to do with CSS
serkanyersen··on Show HN: Ripple button effects for the web
You are right, this is a better demo in my opinion though

serkanyersen··on Why Every Language Needs Its Underscore
Shameless plug: https://github.com/serkanyersen/underscore.py

Underscore.py is a direct port of underscore.js to python.

serkanyersen··on Poll: Do you use marijuana
What does this have to do with anything? I mean what is the point of this poll in hacker news?
serkanyersen··on Sell your S.F. street parking spot for $20?
I live in Foster City (~30 mins from SF) and parking is free here,
serkanyersen··on Ask HN: What are some alternatives to HN?

serkanyersen··on Npm Raises $2.6M Seed Round
Well, this is a bit concerning. How are the investors plan to get that money back? Something tells me we will not like the solution.
