Yhippaon Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed

Naive question: is using Claude Code from the command line or in these tools like VSC or Zed different from using it in the native app on a desktop? Is that because it has access to your codebase?

Yhippaon Happy 100000th birthday, Debian

Yhippaon Digg.com is back

It's been so long. Can someone refresh my memory about the exodus from Digg a long time ago? I remember a lot of Ron Paul spam but that's about it.

Yhippaon Digg.com is back

You forgot Fark! Except that was unironic brainrot and everybody knew what it was. Unlike now, where critical thinking went out the window and everybody takes things at face value.

Yhippaon What could have been

I still don't trust the non-determinism of current LLMs. I feel like I can't trust the results unless they are very simple ones.

Yhippaon What could have been

It feels like after people were still flush with cash at the end of the pandemic, reality hit and as people were profit taking from the market, LLMs seemed to emerge from the æther as the next best thing to glom on to. So now the hive mind dumped all their money into that and we are riding an incredible bubble.

So cheap gaming hardware in the future (similar to when telecoms over invested in transcontinental undersea fiber-optic cables)? What's the hangover gonna look like after this? What's the next grift?

Yhippaon Streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy

Let's say I haul out my CD's I never got rid of over the past 30 years and my DVD's from the 2000's. I can still legally rip them, right?

If I took those ripped copies and wanted to stream them, what would be the best platform to do that?

Yhippaon The Fed says this is a cube of $1M. They're off by half a million

> I'm also at risk of getting laid off because of the practical upshot of being a top contributor

Can you explain this to my pea brain?

Yhippaon The Right to Repair Is Law in Washington State

Does this mean I can go to Washington to tune my Audi S5 that protects the TCU with encryption?

Yhippaon Gurus of 90s Web Design: Zeldman, Siegel, Nielsen

It seemed to really lower the barrier for creator to make some cool (and really funny stuff) so for that, I'm thankful.

Yhippaon Plain Vanilla Web

> Lag when updating a form based on your inputs isn't.

Why not?

Yhippaon A $20k American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, no screen

Anybody know how it got to this point? It can't be because of regulatory capture, right? I don't think small cars are getting made for the US because of SUV mania and something like a 67 MPG requirement for the Honda Fit based on it's build.

Yhippaon Marching Events: What does iCalendar have to do with ray marching?

That page is the perfect density for mobile. I also liked the colors and the contrast. Well-written stuff to boot!

Yhippaon Everyone knows all the apps on your phone

This makes me wonder if Google would let rot creep into (or possibly already has) to encourage people to use apps and also encourage developers to build on their platform.

Yhippaon Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood

I was reading this and thought to myself that I would have stopped at hanging out on the stoop and getting to know my neighbors that walk by. I don't want to yuck their yum, but as an observation, it does seem highly performative and overly organized. Almost like they are trying to proof this out to sell to other communities and eventually make money off of: "buy our community building platform for $20 a month".

Yhippaon A look at the creative process behind Bluey and Cocomelon (2024)

I like Bluey but couldn't get my young one to sit through it for a nebulizer. Cocomelon did the trick and I'm very thankful for them for that. Honestly, I don't think it's as garbage as everyone makes it out to be. It's hard trying to find video-form nursery rhymes that aren't weird out there. They have that done well. I really like Bluey but I feel like it's for a much older crowd.

Yhippaon With AI you need to think bigger

It feels like the friction to get un-science has been completely removed now. Before you had to get lagged content and physically fetch it somehow. Now you can have it in the palm of your hands 24-7 with the bonus of the content being designed to enrage you to get you sucked in.

Yhippaon Volkswagen reintroducing physical controls for vital functions

I really liked the rotary knob control in my Mazda 6. It sounds like it is very similar to BMW's iDrive. You still had a touchscreen with menus but you could use either one very effectively. I think the key for either more physical buttons or virtual control like that is to allow the user to make these changes by feel without having to look away from where you are driving.

Yhippaon Volkswagen reintroducing physical controls for vital functions

On top of that, the slider isn't backlit, right?

Yhippaon Volkswagen reintroducing physical controls for vital functions

Is it just me, or is it really annoying to have to move your eyes down and to the right to see your speed? I assume people just get used to it over time.

Yhippaon Right to Repair laws have now been introduced in all 50 us states

Who is most likely to be against this? NADA most of all maybe? They seem to be the most anti-consumer and (rightfully to them) propping up their member dealers.

Yhippaon Show HN: I built an app to stop me doomscrolling by touching grass

This is great, OP. For someone like me who is addicted to my phone in the house, it would be nice if there was some arbitrary object at the opposite side of the house I could touch to trigger this.

Anybody here know an Android equivalent of this?

Yhippaon Meta's Mark Zuckerberg explores purchase of Washington DC property

https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/trump-sends-d-c-s-luxury...

I haven't followed this closely throughout history but I bet we're going to see cycles of people with power cycling in and out of the area based on who is in office and what they need to influence the government on.

Yhippaon No one is disrupting banks – at least not the big ones

It's hard to break into banking because the big banks successfully used regulatory capture to lock out new participants.

Yhippaon I ditched the algorithm for RSS

I forgot I had an account there. Just logged in and this is great! Way less click-bait headlines unlike my Google Discover feed.

Yhippaon Merry Christmas Everyone

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you too. One of my fondest memories was getting a tiny battery-powered train set when I was around 6. No idea why I liked it so much. We didn't have many toys growing up so you had to enjoy the heck out of the ones you did get. I remember when I opened it up the room was dark and we sat under the light of our fake Christmas tree with multicolored lights.

My kids have too much these days and wonder if they will ever experience something like that.

Yhippaon Making “social” social again: Announcing Mozi

There are social networks for farmers to find love, why not some socials for the 1%-ers?

Yhippaon Making “social” social again: Announcing Mozi

Sounds like a problem for the jetsetter crowd. Good for them! I have much more mundane social network needs.
