tr_user··on Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code
That's also a great reason to never buy insurance
tr_user··on There is minimal downside to switching to open models
isn't that just in the harness?
tr_user··on Making the news available at no cost is a victory
NPR got defunded and here in australia, the ABC are run by political appointees while the rest of the corpo media start branding it as leftist talking points. You can't fix this if the funding source isn't independent and it's competing against a lot more money
tr_user··on We intercepted the White House app's network traffic

tr_user··on Bus stop balancing is fast, cheap, and effective
You could just have two bus stops. People who live and work at both ends will be very happy. But everyone else gets thrown under the bus.
tr_user··on There is an AI code review bubble
Depends on what you're targeting

- If it's a rough PR, you're looking for feedback on direction rather than nitpicks.

- If it's in a polished state, it's good to nitpick assuming you have a style guide you're intending to adhere to.

Perhaps this can be provided in the system prompt?

tr_user··on I forced every engineer to take sales calls and they rewrote our platform
I don't think you can build a unified platform using anecdotes. That's why product research and product market fit is a thing. Not product customer fit. Unless you're willing to understand how to address your market segment's painpoints, you're just going to have a platform like jira that does nothing great but everyone somehow limps along with it.
tr_user··on Grok generates fake Taylor Swift nudes without being asked
you assume he cares about falling birthrates.
tr_user··on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down
that's already happening? are you going to be funding your own vaccine research?

None of what you say is inherent in a public service.

The DMV often gets singled out as an inefficient system that is emblematic of the failure of public option, but I assure you as someone who's had to deal with a privatized version, you're not getting better service and in fact the fees are much more expensive without recourse or oversight.

The answer to a bad system is a good system. Adding a middleman who is only interested in extracting as much money as possible is rarely the improvement the consultants would have you believe.

tr_user··on Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives
I saw someone suggest in another post, if only one crawler was visiting and scraping and everyone else reused from that copy I think most websites would be ok with it. But the problem is every billionaire backed startup draining your resources with something similar to a DOS attack.

tr_user··on Show HN: A GitHub Action that quizzes you on a pull request
Saw an actual PR that says "this was generated with claude, please review carefully". Since when did we stop taking responsibility for what is submitted?
tr_user··on Ask HN: Why is "Tea" still on the App Store after so many data breaches?
Yes, let's use blanket statements to justify our preconceived notions. I'm not sure what the conclusion you're trying to push here -- feminism is about women having rights. Including the right to complain.
tr_user··on Roblox is the biggest game in the world, but is unprofitable

tr_user··on A day in the life of a Walmart manager
like a family is normally not praise
tr_user··on Apple to wind down electric car effort after decadelong odyssey
Future of what? Reliable mass public transport is the best option for a sustainable future. We don't need car centric suburbia but with heavier and more expensive cars.
tr_user··on Boeing ousts 737 MAX chief
accountable as a scapegoat
tr_user··on Boeing ousts 737 MAX chief
Steps in the right direction, let's get rid of more engineers and replace them with more MBAs.

> However, a person familiar with the decision and who asked not to be identified commenting on sensitive personnel decisions, confirmed that Clark’s leaving was not voluntary.

> Clark is an engineer. His successor Ringgold has business degrees. However she began her aviation career performing avionics systems maintenance and troubleshooting on C-130 aircraft in the United States Air Force.

tr_user··on Universal Basic Income Has Been Tried over and over Again. It Works Every Time
> If you do it by taxing the rich, you wind up hobbling and punishing your most productive citizens. Look at China's economic situation right now to see how ultimately unproductive that can be.

What hogwash, if there's anything that's apparent today it's that the rich do not get there either by working hard or by being more smart. They just happen to have rich parents. Why are we ok with billionaires like elon musk who spend most of their day tweeting to control society changing amounts of wealth?

tr_user··on 36-hour shifts, 80-hour weeks: Workers are being burnt out by overtime
You don't even need to quit to see the effects of this. As people become poorer, demand is going to drop. Only so much blood you can squeeze out
tr_user··on Ozone hole goes large again
Eco activists are too alarmed. DO your own research.

Very cool and easy to use but oh so inaccurate. Bali is not in India.
tr_user··on A non-mathematical introduction to Kalman filters for programmers
More people should read this. A few weeks back some commenter on another thread was saying it makes perfect sense to break a sensor if you had more than one in order to get more certainty. Facepalm.
tr_user··on Lidar-equipped, 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600
Am I taking crazy pills? How does this make perfect sense? The obvious solution is to have more compasses and redundancy.

Try adding censorship to that list.
tr_user··on Twitter has stopped paying its Google Cloud bills
when a rich person doesn't pay their bills, it's cost cutting. when i don't do it, it's delinquency.
