This seems nonsensical. Care to elaborate?

Do you outsource all of your thinking and argumentation to LLMs and other people?

What is an enterprise workload?

TACO is misleading. TASAD: Trump Always Seeks A Deal.

This reminds me of the various visualizations in WinAmp, and there was no shortage of creativity there! Geiss (sp?) anyone? It really whips the llama's ass!

Is there a gentler intro to this topic?

The jargon term, slack, comes to mind, in the concept-cluster of the old Google 20%-time, Slackware Linux, and Church of the SubGenius.

Very interesting perspective. I will be reviewing in depth. Much appreciated.

I recently (~6 mo ago) made it a goal to understand and implement a useful Kalman filter, but I realized that they are very tightly coupled to their domain and application. I got about half as far as I wanted, and took a pause. I expect your work here will get me to the finish line, so I am psyched! Thank you!

Thanks for this. My updated relevant portion of ~/.gitconfig:

    [alias]
        st = status
        ci = commit
        co = checkout
        br = branch
        df = diff
        dfs = diff --stat
        dfc = diff --cached
        dfh = diff --histogram
        dfn = diff --name-status
        rs = restore
        rsc = restore --staged
        last = log -1 HEAD
        lg = log --graph --decorate --oneline --abbrev-commit
        cm = commit -m
        ca = commit --amend
        cane = commit --amend --no-edit
        who = shortlog -sn --no-merges HEAD

I am on their "Coding Lite" plan, which I got a lot of use out of for a few months, but it has been seriously gimped now. Obvious quantization issues, going in circles, flipping from X to !X, injecting chinese characters. It is useless now for any serious coding work.

I have been very disappointed in the Lite plan over the last few months. It started great, but they are obviously quantizing and cutting costs on the low end plans. The agents go into bad loops and contradict themselves, inject chinese characters, etc. There is obvious compression happening which makes it unreliable and unsuitable for serious work.

Super cool, I was not aware of novasolver.com. You can reach me via HN username at the midpoint between fmail and hmail.

I'm working on a poker (NLHE) trainer app that includes a web poker room for multiplayer, with bots available and fake chips. Using Event Sourcing with some CQRS in Elixir and Phoenix. The player view is a projection of House Events, suitable for hand history, for feeding to solvers or LLMs for real time advice or post hoc analysis.

The idea is to get tons of reps in, across varied situations, with excellent advice to build good intuitions and decision making abilities. Or to stop making bad or terrible decisions. Or just play poker for free.

I'd like to monetize with at least the hand history format open sourced. Ping me if you would like to get involved with GTM and the revenue side of things.

I think that D meets Walter Bright's requirements.

Same, I got 12 months of subscription for $28 total (promo offer), with 5x the usage limits of the $20/month Claude Pro plan. I have only used it with claude code so far.

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

In all categories, I am not trying to claim that Ghostty is the best (i.e. the fastest, most feature-rich, or most native). But when I set out to create Ghostty, I felt all terminals made you choose at most two of these categories. I wanted to create a terminal that was competitive in all three categories and I believe Ghostty achieves that goal.

Before diving into the details, I also want to note that Ghostty is a passion project started by Mitchell Hashimoto (that's me!). It's something I work on in my free time and is a labor of love. Please don't forget this when interacting with the project. I'm doing my best to make something great along with the lovely contributors, but it's not a full-time job for any of us.

Super helpful, thanks!

If I'm close to weekly limits on Claude Code with Anthropic Pro, does that go away or stretch out if I switch to Haiku?

I had never picked up on the nuance of the V-K test. Somehow I missed the salience of the animal extinction. The questions all seemed strange to me, but in a very Dickian sort of way. This discussion was very enlightening.

My understanding is that insults are illegal as well as certain expressions of Naziism.

I never played Angband but got into the closely related Sil. Totally agree on your characterization (and a fan of your HN posts for well over a decade).

The Art of Unix Programming

My media center is a laptop with a broken screen, running Arch Linux and Kodi. Kodi has a web interface that you can stream to. Why might I want to add Jellyfin?

The problem with astronaut architecture is that nobody tells you about (or has a handle on) all the space junk.

They should start a Substack

Cybersecurity has two sides: business and tech. It is invaluable to the business side, particularly in terms of making risks and threats legible, demanding mitigation and insurance strategies, compliance and certification.

Cybersecurity on the tech side, for most firms, is laughable. It indeed follows the herd model, where no one ever got fired for following "best practices", like forced password rotation every two weeks with no password reuse and absurd character requirements.

It takes a firm like Google to innovate with BeyondCorp / ZeroTrust initiatives and innovations. The rest of us are waiting for npm update to finish while CrowdStrike is consuming half the CPU of our MacBook Airs.

I predicted your #1 was Jordan Peterson. Tony Robbins just made an appearance on Theo Von's podcast, This Past Weekend. I haven't watched it yet, but Theo is fantastic at getting his guests to open up. I am deeply skeptical of Tony Robbins overall, but I'll probably queue up the podcast soon.
