thejazzmanon Iroh 1.0

also to follow on the "why not use tailscale" should be because they're a business who seeks to make money and we are fools to keep concentrating distributed technology to a handful of centralized owners (!)

especially when iroh makes it so easy and awesome to do it right.

thejazzmanon Smashed Toilet Phone Web Server

I’ve been dreaming of this (generally speaking) for years. Just occurred to me I could easily do it myself now too with modern tools…

If only we had truly unlimited data plans to go with it

thejazzmanon Is there a name for the type of comments agents add where they leak the prompt?

The context is if you ask for something like “X that looks awesome” it’ll then describe itself as looking awesome throughout your product in customer facing fashion ways.

Instead of “title” it’ll become “the awesome title”

Crude but cromulent example.

thejazzmanon Is there a name for the type of comments agents add where they leak the prompt?

You missed the part where context compacts, it realizes Y is missing and reimplements it from scratch and proudly boasts that it did the exact opposite of what you had asked

thejazzmanon macOS Container Machines

It mostly removes the big shared background VM and replaces it with smaller, more isolated Apple-native VMs.

I did an experiment migrating my Podman workload to Apple's container @ https://gist.github.com/jmonster/39e14585e107dbf990a90966c0f...

TL;DR reduces ram/storage usage; minimizes it's existence

thejazzmanon Cloudflare CEO is lying to you about the bot traffic jump

switching to tmobile home internet has been eye opening to me on how different the internet can be from person to person. you don't even get your own ipv4 address. makes me realize the challenge behind blocking something like yt-dlp

thejazzmanon Cloudflare CEO is lying to you about the bot traffic jump

CF's customer is the website that elected to put CF in-between you and them

thejazzmanon Uber's $1,500/month AI limit is a useful signal for AI tool pricing

Yes; they ban various uses of their subscriptions but say you can do whatever if you’re paying for the API without limits

thejazzmanon Rk New York police investigate mysterious cases of people coming out of manholes

You failed to even mention the Turtles??

thejazzmanon Cloudflare CEO on how he chooses which employees to replace with AI

Unfortunately it has been revealed that a large enough population is and corporate America has adjusted. Welcome to hell.

thejazzmanon Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

It’s in his own biography (the older one) that spacex would pursue mars without distraction. That he went to great lengths to ensure it wouldn’t be used for military, tourism, etc.

You can’t believe musk without simultaneously believing he’s a liar. It’s in HIS fucking book.

thejazzmanon Meta deletes popular 1M follower account after Kuwaiti request

When the standing president uses his speech to incite violence at the capital, attempt a coup, spread proven lies about health issues directly harming citizens...

oh, right, free speech. everyones allowed to do anything because they use their VOICE to INCITE harm and that's enough abstraction that others can't see the facade???

bull shit.

thejazzmanon A few words on DS4

I racked up $30 in 3 days, but I did A LOT of refactoring. Got my projects really buttoned up and now I’m sipping tokens with codex again. Have been more like $1-2/day with deepseek since that initial swarm. With max effort.

It’s especially great that you don’t have to worry about hitting your limit and being stalled.

I’m using it with Claude

thejazzmanon Tesla Wall Connector bootloader bypasses the firmware downgrade ratchet

PSA: If your wall connector loses wifi, it'll just throw your charging schedules out the window and turn on/off sporadically. This is especially noteworthy if you have Time of Use billing :| SET THE TIMER ON THE CAR DIRECTLY!

thejazzmanon Only Elon Musk can fire Elon Musk from SpaceX, filing shows

If Elon can do all of that why does he employ so many people?

thejazzmanon Tesla basically cooked the books to show one last quarter of positive cash flow

I see it like he’s one of the only outlets not regurgitating lying press releases and actually calling out the truth.

I always see Fred attacked on HN, but I never see anyone cite false statements he’s made. He’s just a bad person for hating on Tesla. As if it’s bad for a writer to critically cover a company doing bad things.

thejazzmanon Anker made its own chip to bring AI to all its products

Eufy was uploading the thumbnails to S3, if I recall correctly, so that they could be delivered in push notifications

thejazzmanon Why AI Sucks at Front End

I intended to share the product rather than the marketing page. I mean, I didn't intend to share this at all yet because it's not done, but when I saw people asking for examples..

But yeah, marketing site looks like a marketing site. I'm realizing now that a lot of my app's internal design/flair is missing from the marketing page -- so I appreciate your looking/commenting

thejazzmanon Why AI Sucks at Front End

Thank you, agreed, I will iterate on this more.

When I shared this I wasn't thinking about the marketing site -- I meant to show the product itself. Given the feedback here I no longer think it's a good representative as-is, especially with the generic SVGs / rounded cards

thejazzmanon Why AI Sucks at Front End

Is this a critique of the marketing page or of the product itself?

I didn't intend for this to be about the marketing page -- what you say is true of just about every marketing page. They're prevalent because they are good at distilling information without overwhelming the user. But I agree I can do better and will work on this more, I really appreciate getting this feedback

Most people look at pool chemistry/maintenance as painfully overwhelming, so for everyone to say this looks boring or mundane is a bit validating. No one has (yet!) said they don't understand the product, it's purpose, or it's value :)

thejazzmanon Why AI Sucks at Front End

I can't help but think you and the other commenters reducing this to slop didn't even try the product. I thought it went without saying that I wasn't posting to show a marketing landing page.

I built this frontend with Sonnet 4.5 last Fall and I’m about to “launch” it

I used only prompts, but those prompts included ChatGPT’s research on Memphis design ;)

Using codex for front end design is like asking the valedictorian mega nerd to paint your portrait. Gemini and Claude are both artists.

thejazzmanon Reallocating $100/Month Claude Code Spend to Zed and OpenRouter

I think there’s a bug? It used to be memory efficient and now I periodically notice it explodes. Quit and restart fixes it

I don’t have any extensions installed and I’m basically leaving it open, idle, as a note scratch space. I do have projects open with many files but not many actual files are open

Anyway idk
