sushidon Interview with Boris Cherny [video]

I mean if the model were really that good they'd be able to fix various TUI issues that have plagued claude code since last year.

sushidon FreeInk: Open ecosystem for e-readers

Not parent commenter but I've been loving CrossInk after trying CrossPoint for a few days

sushidon $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol

This is incredible! Did you make these yourself? I am familiar with remotion but this is a lot more than just splicing images, etc.

Did you use a skill library to make this?

sushidon StubHub, CEO hit with ‘deceptive practices’ class action over mass scalping

It's not a simple buy/sell marketplace. There's no recourse for fans who purchase a confirmed ticket, only to find that the seller "doesn't have them" and see the same ticket relisted for higher if the price jumps. Stubhub prioritize these scalper relationships and doesn't meaningfully protect its buyers from getting screwed over.

sushidon How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing

Are there any skills or publicly available repos that do what you claim here? I would love to learn to have it write better.

For me, my amateur attempt is having another LLM do a review loop to remove clearly offending phrases and a heuristic eval to change sentence structures to be more similar to mine, THEN my manual HITL loop to rewrite ~20% of the sentences anyway.

sushidon Kernel anti-cheat is an overreach

Have you played games with a ton of cheaters? It's infuriating, and I'm glad that kernel-level anti-cheat makes it such that you can have an enjoyable gaming experience. Now, I no longer play competitive shooters due to my age, but this was a huge issue back in the day.

sushidon "Don't You Just Upload It to ChatGPT?"

I'm sorry but it's just such a glaring caveat. And the fact that you don't speak French...

sushidon Sagrada Família Lego set

This can only work in Japan and Germany, I imagine. Maybe in Korea/China/Singapore with severe financial penalties and deposits.

sushidon Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says

A green card is literally not a visa

sushidon eBay Rejects GameStop's $56B Takeover as Not Credible

How did you determine that? As someone who also buys old computer stuff from time to time, I wouldn't say they are collectibles.

sushidon Boris Cherny: TI-83 Plus Basic Programming Tutorial (2004)

Completely off-topic, but I recall hearing that Boris spent some time in Japan before Anthropic, learning to make miso paste the traditional way while living there. Interesting to see that he's been interested in lacto-fermentation for decades now.

sushidon Talking to strangers at the gym

Note that this totally depends on 1. how you say it and 2. who you say it to 3. how good looking/ugly you are.

sushidon Where the goblins came from

You are absolutely right to call that out!

sushidon How Ford burned $12B in Brazil (2021)

sushidon Show HN: Han – A Korean programming language written in Rust

That's coming from a Spanish speaker used to the alphabet, QUERTY, etc. I imagine you'd find it much more difficult if C were written in Chinese or Arabic, for instance.

sushidon What's working for YC companies since the AI boom

Windsurf was acquired for $3B by OAI and it's clearly the worse of the two. Cursor is trying to raise at a $10B valuation and has $300MM in ARR in less than two years.

So in short, yes, companies do appear to be showing some willingness to send Cursor their code, even with all the headache associated with getting a new vendor.

sushidon Google is burying the web alive

If Google doesn't do this, people will slowly (or even quickly, who knows?) move to Perplexity, ChatGPT, etc. I know I personally would abandon Google entirely if it didn't summarize results and help me avoid the SEO slopfest.

sushidon Launch HN: Nomi (YC X25) – Copilot for Sales

What's the $ per seat?

sushidon Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails

What do you recommend?

sushidon Show HN: 1 min workouts for people who sit all day

It's literally a free, ad-free app. If it were a website, I guarantee you HN would lambast it saying they could vibe-code it in 1 hour, it's not open sourced, etc. It's never enough for the naysayers.

sushidon How we made our OCR code more accurate

Making OCR more accurate for regular text (e.g. data extraction from documents) would be useful; not sure how useful code transcription is

sushidon Google AI Ultra

Why did you settle on ChatGPT and Grok? I paid annual for Claude and have Perplexity Pro via a promo but if I were to pick two, I think I'd personally settle for ChatGPT and Gemini right now.

sushidon Metagenomics test saves woman's sight after mystery infection

Not to mention she swam in untreated water in the Amazon!!

sushidon Why I stopped angel investing after 15 years, and what I'm doing instead

I mean, it's true. Those who can't do, teach.

sushidon Bethesda Thinks Fan Remaster of Oblivion Is 'Very Special' and Supports It

What would you allow? Just one level deep? Two? All you'd be doing is incentivizing the creation of more proxies and more legal fees/inefficiencies to go along with it.
