swader999··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
That was a thing in the early 2000's. You had to have a blog and invent words that describe regular things everyone did.
swader999··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
It's almost unusable.
swader999··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
I wonder if this jargon is an attempt or strategy to use less output tokens? It sure is annoying.
swader999··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
Yes. "Ship it! A practical guide to successful software projects" by Jared Richardson, Will Gwaltney, Jr. has had a few printings since 2005.
swader999··on Australia Bans Generative A.I. From Official Music Charts
Now ban corporately produced music.
swader999··on CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO
Marketing and they hire and fire important people. That's about it though, where we should take the product, what features to do next, partnerships, these are pretty obvious to anyone paying attention.
swader999··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
Not in terms of cost.
swader999··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
That's what I do but I don't really have any neighbours in eyesight.
swader999··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
Its gross but a pee bottle is what I'd do.
swader999··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
There's probably lots of ways to secure it if you think about it.
swader999··on France's tax agency got hacked (in French)
Is it masculine or feminine?
swader999··on New Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra
Here's me trying to justify this when I can run frontier models in the cloud for less than the monthly finance charge for this beast.
swader999··on Stop Making TUIs
It's interesting going to order auto parts or construction materials. All old tui like console programs if you look at what they use. They are good and quick at them too.
swader999··on Stop Making TUIs
You had me at the name. Love that movie.
swader999··on Nothing Doing
I need this for some past companies I've worked at.
swader999··on AI;DR or Don't be a meat proxy
I don't think we are far off from when it will be difficult to tell if anything was AI generated or we will just assume it is ALL AI generated.
swader999··on I spent twenty years becoming good at the wrong game
These aren't either or propositions, he can do a full time white collar job, have a serious skill or trade (he's already got that with three ski coaching) and have a side business all at once. I expect that they will wax and wane over the next twenty years. Part of it is I want my kids to see there's a way past the AI distopian future being portrayed.
swader999··on I spent twenty years becoming good at the wrong game
That resonates. I just advise to make decisions that broaden your future options. And you don't have to choose now, just get in take some classes, look around. He is in the local orchestra (one of the youngest), coaches skiing and kayaking at a pretty high level. His grades are off the chart so he's got to go to university, I wouldn't be inclined to push that now days but his results are too exceptional to do that to him. I just say get a degree, get a trade (coaching fits that well enough), start a business - those could be your five to ten year goals right now.
swader999··on I spent twenty years becoming good at the wrong game
At the age of 17 or 18 how do you actually know? My kids are going through this now. He's like I don't even know if I want to be an engineer, people just tell me I'd be good at it.
swader999··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Yeah it feels like they tune or 'optimize' the models after release and they get less useful to me as time goes by. I'm most productive the first few days after a release. Noticed this since opus 4.6.
swader999··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Looking like this will be the last month with Anthropic. Between the outages and just overall crap utility of Opus/Fable lately...

swader999··on Degraded performance for multiple models
And we get our subscription usage cut in half tomorrow if I remember correctly? EDIT: By a third. Thx below.
swader999··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
Yeah it did. We've signed three new customers because of one. Another large feature was an integration that landed more. We rewrote the entire front end to modern stack. Used to be a fifteen year old react and backbone bFrankenstein app.
swader999··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
Not op, but we are at 2400 total points delivered over seven years. 1000 of those in the last six months. About 2-4 devs over that period, just two the last six months.
swader999··on Timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face
This is clearly out of control, Zero parent supervision.
swader999··on AI psychosis is the new leadership blind spot
Bought now! And there's the nuclear option now available to clear the entire floor with the smell of burnt popcorn.
swader999··on AI psychosis is the new leadership blind spot
I'm seeing people argue and debate with AI. One will cut and paste AI reasoning, another will rebut with the same approach. I need a popcorn machine in my office.
swader999··on What happens if you put work into the second dimension?
Maybe but I like the idea of it serving as an agent sandbox or context boundary which is probably too specialized for Apple to build into the OS.
swader999··on What happens if you put work into the second dimension?
The title doesn't do this justice. I would so love for this to be a finished polished product that just works.
