Ok sure.

However getting a better sound system is a current solution to the problem that doesn't require some broad systemic change that may or may not ever happen.

I don't think so, but I typically hear them use brands like Kleenex, Band-aid, etc instead of tissue, bandage.

Tenet is the only one that I have issues with, but that movie sucks anyways.

Thats definitely an American way of speaking.

Just wait until the LLM Agent starts rewriting tests to adhere to your 100% code coverage mandate.

It gets even worse when you realize most extensions ship bundled node_modules and are a very juicy target for supply chain attacks.

The content is mixed with decent audio systems in mind.

When you listen to that content on a good system you don't have these issues.

Nolan films are a perfect example.

Save it for your blunt rotation.

Vocal "power users" / "haters" will eat up a lot of your resources and are the squeaky wheels that can easily derail roadmaps.

Interesting, huge fan of charm and ruby.

Will definitely keep this in mind.

Honestly after hearing his I don't blame you, especially when you consider what a pain in the ass it is to setup a 7.1 system properly.

Your expectations are too high, a 30mm thick screen will never produce good audio.

You do realize that "voices too low, explosions too high" is because of the audio mixing in the movies and how it sounds on shitty integrated speakers right?

When you have a good setup those same movies sound incredible, Nolan films are a perfect example.

I'm not a speaker sales person, believe whatever you want.

Use an IP reputation tool like https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

What you will find is that many dedicated IP's from larger vendors are fine.

I personally use Hetzner and don't have any issues with reputation at all.

I've been meaning to port some dotfiles utils over to go, I think I'll give this a shot.

Not to mention its extremely insecure plugin architecture.

So I guess the crypto exodus to AI is paying off.

The crypto bros switched over to AI.

Congrats, you have summarized the majority of SV startups.

Then how is Gemini of any use?

Thats just a matter of buying a decent IP and setting up DMARC and DKIM.

I see this reasoning as the #1 reason not to self host, but it really isn't a big issue once you do the initial setup.

Many people view their personal emails being slurped up by a Google AI model as a pretty big negative.

You can self host email in an afternoon, its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

You would end up banning 90% of the current YC crop.

I never mount .git to the agent container, but sometimes I will initialize the container with its own internal .git so the agent can preserve its git operations and maintain a change log outside of its memory context.

throw-12-16··on Show HN: A Claude Code plugin that catch destructive Git and filesystem commands

Same, I containerize all of my dev envs.

I really struggle to understand how this isn't common best practice at this point.

Especially when it comes to agents and anything node related.

Claude is distributed as an npm global, so doubly true.

Takes about 5 minutes to set this up.

It's easier to believe in conspiracy than do a few minutes of research to discover that you need a good quality sound system to have good quality sound.

throw-12-16··on Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings

Its simpler than that.

Flatscreen TV's have shitty speakers.

throw-12-16··on Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings

Its why captions have become so popular.
