I love mental rule of thumbs / heuristics that we can install into our brain to avoid getting caught up in cognitive biases or other mistakes.

An easy one that I would expect most HN readers probably do already is: When shopping, always round up to the nearest dollar before even mentally storing it or operating on it. The usual cognitive bias is that many people end up storing the listed price of $4.96 in a lossy manner, as $4.xx, and end up thinking of it as $4 when in reality they could be skipping straight to keeping it as $5 in their head.

Terminal is where the real work has always been done. VS Code on the other hand is 100% a fashion thing.

it started off with 500+ crates and then i still had to install dotslash crate which installed another 136 crates. seems insane.

That's how you know you've got the COOLEST car on the block! (unfortunately)

any reason you went with q8 over q4? I'm wondering if q4 would run noticeably faster or not.

name and shame the bank

Nasdaq, FTSE Russell, and CRSP all implemented fast-track options. Fortunately S&P kept its 12-month requirement.

That's true.

Although I think the article is really hinting at a larger problem than just creators. The problem of the power law distribution - few winners taking all vs the losers in the long thin tail. Sometimes it's not an entirely meritocratic distribution, quality doesn't always rise to the top.

Good idea, but I also wouldn't be surprised if law enforcement already have better tools for detecting if someone nearby is wearing smart glasses.

I've got a suspicion that it was more common a few decades ago. I saw a bit of that in China back in 2007 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's less of a thing now.

bans only 1 day? man, I'd expand that to include mondays and tuesdays

Good read, aside from all the LLM-isms in the writing.

it's like a variation of the principle of "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"

a solipsistic viewpoint I suppose.

Deepseek v4 flash only costs about $0.13 by the time I hit 200,000 to 250,000 tokens.

some of my favorite forum communities heavily rely on acronyms. but they also have a maintained gossary that introduces all the community/industry-specific acronyms. Acronyms help boost the density of the information conveyed

but post-its are vulnerable to the wrench attack!

also there doesn't even need to be a model involved, agentic code harnesses with remote "instructions for the local computer" are technically backdoored by default.

probably depends a lot on the temperature setting, lower it is, the more similar the quality perhaps. the higher it is the more variance.

Have you not seen Jurassic Park?

I hear Claude’s voice in a house, I hear Claude’s voice with a mouse.

The new schizophrenia.

For agentic workflows like tool use, editing codebases, multi-turn debugging?

I think there's a bit of a caveat there, because that basically means eating reasonably high calorie food in sufficient quantities that starts violating the "healthy food" definition.

Breaking even in less than a year? What's the math on that?

Damn, that's awesome. I suddenly feel like replicating their setup and seeing how it goes.

I looked at that link and was unable to find any blocks that matched the 4 images? "Replicate Room Folders" and all

I think you meant 80k not 800k, $0.12 * 80,000 = $9,600

I wonder if we couldn't just use LLMs to completely reverse engineer a QNX 4.25 demo image into usable source code. Possibly translate it directly into rust code.

Bun had it easier in many ways, given that they're based on a well-documented public API surface & have the node.js test suite etc.

In the case of QNX I'm guessing it might help to find a way to intercept the message passing of running QNX instances in order to use it as a test harness while reverse engineering all the components.

I HATE how modern & locked down the web is now, feels like we need to fork the internet. I want an internet that doesn't assume you're always online. I want an internet that is accessible and useful even even if you only connected a few times a day, or especially even if you were on a spacecraft a light-hour away.

why would anyone accept bounty money to have a chance of being arrested?

I always get up with the light so I think 4am would be too unreasonable. Especially if most cafes remain closed for hours still. 5am is tolerable.

As for winter, an extra hour of dark doesn't feel like a huge deal. When I commuted in the winter it was often happening around 6am while still dark anyways.

I have a feeling people's morning habits will change a bit to compensate for the darker mornings though. So I think it'll work out in the end.

Where do you expect the premature deaths to come from? Rush hour traffic in the dark?
