shanecp··on Drilling down on Uncle Sam's proposed TP-Link ban
This is a very one sided article. Shouldn't there be a comparison with TP-Link and all other brands available in-terms of security? Otherwise they're just targeting a company for political reasons.
shanecp··on How I use every Claude Code feature
Direct use of Codex + GPT5 or Claude Code CLI gives a better result, compared to using the same models in Cursor. I've compared both. Cursor applies some of their augmentation, which reduces the output size, probably to save on tokens.

What they don't mention is all the tooling, MCPs and other stuff they've added to make this work. It's not 30 hours out of the box. It's probably heavily guard-railed, with a lot of validated plans, checklists and verification points they can check. It's similar to 'lab conditions', you won't get that output in real-world situations.

So it's an A/B testing platform?
shanecp··on Ask HN: My CEO wants to go hard on AI. What do I do?
Create a CEO Logic Agent that helps the CEO to make better decisions on AI? /s

What CEO is likely looking for are 'PR' points, not often not a real strategy. If they can announce and pretend they're going all-in on AI, that's what's needed.

From your side, having AI mentioned in everything you do will help the conversation. If your code's docs are improved with an AI IDE, you're going hard on AI. Ignore the time you spend on fixing AI's errors.

Doing things for 'funding' and doing things that gets the work done are not always the same. One is a marketing/PR act, the other one is a product development act.

If funding is a real concern, the CEO's approach might be valid, because without funding, you won't have a job, and there won't be a product. So split your time in helping the CEO to achieve what s/he wants in getting the right message out.

As you're saying, if the CEO has built a great team, and great technology, we can't think the CEO is completely ignorant on what's going on.

Your CTO/CIO (if any) will know more about what realistically possible and what's not. If you have an 'AI Team', then there should be a CTO/CIO, and you're not directly talking to CEO about strategy?

Doesn't MS own 49% of OpenAI?
shanecp··on Ask HN: What hacks/tips do you use to make AI work better for you?
No need to be exhausted by the post. If AI doesn't help you, move on.

Probably you're really smarter and faster than the average developer.

The post is about finding out what things can help to to make it work for others. :)

shanecp··on Burn-out, daunting work, overstretched, and it's just too much
Just curious, if 4DWW is your goal, can't you ask your employer to give a 4DWW with a 20% pay cut? Then both of you can be happy.

Or do you want a 4DWW with the same pay?

The answer (in depth) is in the book written by Disney CEO. Too complicated to answer here.

shanecp··on Facebook says it will pay news industry $1B over 3 years
This is a very (bad) political strategy, well played by Murdoch. To get some insight, read Bob Iger's (Disney ex-CEO) book. He explains how Murdoch was worried about the rising tech-giants, how news is losing edge and his decision to sell to Disney.

The sale to Disney happened as a direct result of Murdoch seeing the threat (i.e people moving away from news).

Unfortunately for Australia, they cover over 50% of media, and can get the Government to do what they want.

To know more about the logical side, see the ex-Prime Minister's Senate hearing. This had the most amount of signatures in the history of Australia, yet, unfortunately, it'll not reach anywhere.

That assumption is incorrect. They already pay taxes, both directly and indirectly (collected from people as GST).
shanecp··on Facebook says it will pay news industry $1B over 3 years
Murdoch has now practically purchased the Australian Government, Google and Facebook.

I wouldn't be surprised if the talks behind the scenes were 'if you want to hear anything good from news about Facebook, just pay us'.

So much for the 'trust' in any one of them.

shanecp··on Changes to sharing and viewing news on Facebook in Australia
FB took the right decision. I wish Google and others will do the same. Like many others have said, I don't like some things that Google and Facebook does, but for this, I believe FB took the right decision. The bill is so vague, and it can be interpreted to say anything that the Government wants it to say. This isn't to protect journalism, it's a backdoor to funnel money to Newscorp.
shanecp··on One Guy Ruined Hacktoberfest 2020
Because everything goes through Github, can't they add a simple spam detector?

Let's say if the the user doesn't have many PRs in profile, and sending a lot of them within 24 hours.

Sounds like it will be a lot easier for github bot to flag these.

shanecp··on They're deleting my channel, but they don't know why? [video]
If this is related to a DMCA notification, shouldn't YouTube removing the (alleged) video that violates the law, and not delete the whole channel?

I guess that's how Google's index works, they remove indexed results, but not the whole index.
