animexon Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production

animexon What are Forward Deployed Engineers, and why are they so in demand? (2025)

Is this the same as a GTM (Go-To-Market) Engineer?

animexon Codex scraped the ICM website and discovered 2026 Fields Medal winner list

I've always wondered if Chrome leaks these URLs too.

animexon Post-mortem of Shai-Hulud attack on November 24th, 2025

It explains in the article under "Why did it happen?".

animexon Game design is simple

Raph was the lead game designer on SWTOR a game that was way ahead of it's time and one of the most enjoyable sandbox mmorpg's I've ever played. I'm working on a new game that will take inspiration from lessons learned there.

animexon Two billion email addresses were exposed

I think the headline is a bit vague, it includes passwords as well. Does anyone know if Troy's HIBP'd site reveals the passwords to verified users? I'd like to know if my current or what generation of passwords has been breached to evaluate if I have a current or past problem with my devices.

animexon I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone

That's where I really appreciated Android's ability to sub-out its entire UI to something totally customizable, accessible and able to be locked down. Drag my face contacts of myself and siblings onto the home screen so Mom can just click a face and it calls her contact. On the desktop, Windows is terrible for seniors, MacOS too. iPad can be decent but there are alot of areas where seniors get confuddled and have to call someone in.

animexon ChatGPT Pulse

This, 1000x.

I had a dozen domains and projects on the shelf for years and now 8 of them have significant active development. I've already deployed 2 sites to production. My github activity is lighting up like a Christmas tree.

animexon South Korea will bring home 300 workers detained in Hyundai plant raid

In the mid-2000s I was doing some consulting in middle America and noticed a bunch of Indian IT workers staying at the same hotel I was staying at. Since, I was Indian-origin, we engaged in some small-chat. They were working for a now defunct telecom giant (but contracted by one of the big Indian consultancies) on various software projects. There were there on not, H1Bs, but another class of short-term business-meeting only visas. They told me every 3 months a whole new team would cycle onto the project with a fresh set of business visas and the rest would cycle back home, rinse-repeat. They weren't allowed to "work" per say, and some of their colleagues got rejected at the border by more savvy border agents. But for every 1 rejection, 20 of them would get through.

animexon Warp Code: the fastest way from prompt to production

The pivot is likely because there's more VC dollars there.

It is a handy AI-cli for any terminal. I've been using the "terminal" app for a few months and found it was a very competent coding tool. I kept giving feedback to the team that they should "beef up" the coding side because until Claude Code this was my daily driver for writing code until Opus 4. The interface still is a bit janky because i think it's trying to predict whether you're typing a console command or talking to it for new prompt (it tries to dynamical assess that but often enough it crosses the streams). Regardless, I highly recommend checking it out, I've had some great success with it.

animexon GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding

Wonderful, timely article. It sounds like a hybrid approach might produce good results: Using ChatGPT-5 for planning/analysis and using Claude for execution.

animexon GPT-5 is already (ostensibly) available via API

aka Sam "What have we done?!" Altman.

animexon How Anthropic teams use Claude Code

I just had the same thing happen. Some comprehensive tests were failing, and it decide to write a simple test instead rather than investigate why these more complicated tests were failing. I wonder if the team is trying to save compute by urging it to complete tasks more quickly! Claude seems to be under a compute crunch as often I get API timeouts/errors.

animexon Generative AI coding tools and agents do not work for me

I write mostly boilerplate and I'd rather have the AI do it. The AI is also slow, which is great, which allows me to run 2 or 3 AI workspaces working on different tickets/problems at the same time.

Where AI especially excels is helping me do maintenance tickets on software I rarely touch (or sometimes never have touched). It can quickly read the codebase, and together we can quickly arrive at the place where the patch/problem lies and quickly correct it.

I haven't written anything "new" in terms of code in years, so I'm not really learning anything from coding manually but I do love solving problems for my customers.

animexon UK unis to cough up to £10M on Java to keep Oracle off their backs

Oracle threatened our organization with 10m in fines because of some rogue apps here and there, gave us 5 days to remediate it. I believe they went with a mix of OpenJDK & Corretto. (100k+ org)

animexon Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts

https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider/commits...

Start at the bottom...they are in the commit messages, or sometimes the .md file

animexon Circuit breaker triggered in Japan for stock futures trading

For me, it's trying to gauge how deep the rabbit hole is.

animexon Ask HN: Best Windows/Linux developer laptop in 2025

Where Lenovo is unbeatable for me, is the extended warranty cost. You can get (usually on discount) full 4 year coverage next-day in-home with accident protection for only a couple hundred bucks. I like a company that can stand behind their product in that manner.

animexon Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program

This sounds more like a monopoly play to give Tesla a continuing advantage with it's charging network vs. an anti-EV stance.

animexon Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program

4C?

animexon Reverse Engineering Bambu Connect

Wow, so the actual content is also sent to the cloud? Not just authentication/metadata? Massive overreach. Imagine a inkjet/laser printer company sending every page you printed to their servers? (actually I wouldn't be surprised if HP does this already)

animexon Is a Dosa a Crepe?

animexon Introducing S2

IANAL,but naming your product S2 and mentioning in the intro that AWS S3 is the tech you are enhancing is probably looking for a branding/copyright claim from Amazon. Same vertical & definitely will cause consumer confusion. I'm sure you've done the research about whether a trademark has been registered.

animexon Web Origami, for making websites where you can understand how they’re made

I think this issue better addressed in HTML spec. Basic functionality to include html snippets files in other HTML files should be standard. What am I missing?

animexon Bitcoin is over $100k

To think I had 17 BTC at one point :-)

animexon Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices

Sorry, is Hetzner a company from Canada, China, or Mexico? Are digital goods & services indicated to be under tariff as well?

animexon The tech utopia fantasy is over

lol not discord. we are in IRC.

animexon DOJ will push Google to sell off Chrome

By that same logic, Safari is the #1 browser on mobile in the US and should also be spun off.

animexon Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates

I wonder if there should be some scaling for extreme hot/cold countries. Most of our output here in Canada must be related to heating during our 6 months of cold climate.

animexon I tried every top email marketing tool
