Anthropic wants you to think that models that distill from them would be worthless otherwise. It’s not true, it’s just one part of the process. The whole narrative that Chinese and other models are only good because they distill is nonsense.

I use the same stack. Single codebase, no build step. It’s so refreshing.

Lots of people cared, it just wasn’t actionable. The situation with flock has avenues for change in town hall meetings or even good ol fashioned vandalism.

Dragnet surveillance by the CIA was a bit harder to oppose.

That is an interesting thought. To me I think I think my brain is being re wired to appreciate effort. Not saying there isn’t modern art that doesn’t take effort. But paintings from the masters is a good place to start.

It’s not about what ai can or can’t do. It’s a new appreciation for both artistry AND skill.

They should bring it back

I don’t know if this is a reaction to AI or something, but recently I’ve only been interested in classical/realism art. I just can’t do abstract cubes anymore. The default wallpaper of windows 11 is a perfect example - I hate it. Give me a wallpaper of some painting from the Renaissance.

Personal finance tracker - the TODO app of 2026.

Stuff runs so hot these days. I think one of the parameters pushed to keep Moores law from completely flattening was heat. My desktop regularly hits 95 just compiling code.

Solaar is fantastic software. Not worth replacing with slop even if the slop looks shiny.

You make it clear why you write all your code through a llm. But a README is not code. Presumably you would like people to read it. A machine authored readme reflects poorly on a project.

Parents point is the readme was written by Claude. Signals low effort.

It’s not illegal. But it’s a step too far for some.

That’s true. But they probably want to be able to identify other models slop as well. And with the laws popping up, it makes sense to do it the way they are.

Do they care about false positives? As long as it’s even somewhat reliable that’s enough for them to prevent training on their own slop. I think this is a big reason to do this that’s overlooked.

Is it to appease anti ai or is it a method they will use to avoid training on their own slop?

Maybe they should start with Claude.

Same, they just updated it. Hacker news effect?

Except they aren’t unusable either.

> This is my #1 annoyance: clicking microscopic icons at the very bottom of the screen to switch views.

Have you considered using a keybind? They even show which keybind to use when you hover them.

Amazing that someone would prefer a vertical bar that is 85% empty, wasted space instead of pressing a few keys on the keyboard - for a text editor of all things.

Of course vs code accommodates wsl. Same company. Personally I couldn’t care less how badly MS wants to make windows a viable development environment. It’s more irrelevant every day. I’m glad zed doesn’t waste too much time on it.

I’ve been using arch for nearly 2 decades at this point. It’s amazing that the AUR went this long without any serious attacks.

It’s a different world now. I can’t help but feel there used to be honor among hackers. You didn’t go after your own. What kind of jerk would attack Arch Linux?

Would love to see more projects using gtk and zig. Always nice to have another language option.

Maybe. Most of it is just good storytelling. There are some light equations and graphs occasionally.

It does. That’s all part of the drama.

One of the best books I’ve ever read.

Why are you expected to send down the whole thing? Maybe I’m missing something, but when you send the request from the form the response is just a partial of the results on the right hand side, using hx-target to specify some div instead of replacing the form. Form just stays there?

> Post-death, as in: "it's over," "activity has halted," "no more work being done”

Which makes even less sense as we all know software is never done, unless it truly is dead.

Do they license from Nintendo or something? I thought this kind of stuff was lawyer bait.

Wait but where do we get a gameboy?

grug wonder why big brain take hardest problem, factoring system correctly, and introduce network call too

seem very confusing to grug
