antihero··on Goodbye Claude, hello Pi
It's a skill like anything. Context switching on this level is initially exhausting, but do it enough and it becomes natural.

TBH I am not sure why anyone would use Windows for anything unless forced to.
antihero··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
I'm not sure why we should give a fuck unless she was a spy or whatever.

Edit: Oh

Does GhosTTY work on windows?
antihero··on Herdr has released native app
If you prefer GUIs, you can use the the new herdr desktop app :)

It will be good to get the remote feature in there though.

I've been using this for a few days now and it's absolutely fantastic.
antihero··on Copper – A minimal low-level programming language with OOP and generics
Is this not destructuring a tuple?
antihero··on The AI cost of JavaScript frameworks
Yeah it's really enjoyable to be able to take old, stale dependencies, and simply make them into something great, typesafe, ESM, well tested etc, without having to change the whole codebase.

I do enjoy the fact that if software annoys you, it’s easy as hell to simply generate a better version.
antihero··on Quad9 to exit France
Everyone should own their entire chain to the wider internet, and everyone should have access to a chain that is horrifically hard or expensive to detect by governments (VLESS/Hysteria2/etc), and not be financially dependent on a provider in order to do it.

If they want to fuck with us, it's time to start fucking back.

It’s scary that people haven’t been able to move uphill though.

It is bizarre to me that servers are considered something to be “lost” in this day and age. They should as borderline ephemeral as us.
antihero··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
I'd be able to work for a lot less if I owned my home and food was cheap.

Honestly, rising house prices have fucked everything up.

antihero··on The Other Epidemic: Trying to get off benzodiazepines
Oh god, the jolts. They are horrible. They seem to get worse with screens and fluorescent office lights. The only thing that helps is going for a walk and necking some alcohol, which in turn, wrecks the sleep needed to actually fix them.

It's almost like having some sort of momentary seizure.

AI. CEOs. Now.

Perhaps it's a testament to the fact that life used to be full of things that made it a little nicer that have been ripped out in the name of efficiency and profit.

Look at how beautiful old buildings were. However, now everything is a box, because it is more efficient.

antihero··on eBay Restricts Listings of Radio Equipment, but Exempts Ham-Band-Only Gear
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Baofengs suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
antihero··on What I self-host
If we're plugging stuff, here's my little ecosystem I've been working on for about 8 months. It replaces (but is fully compatible with) navidrome/subsonic, iOS client, macOS client, tvOS client (with modern QR/code based login flow), WebUI, and soon, Android clients. Also supports local libraries.

Has neat stuff like remote-controlling other clients (zero conf/mdns/server relayed), modern user management (invite links, app passwords, api keys), the apps are pretty, low-resource, and consistent. Normal stuff like gapless, bit-perfect, share links, file-watching that is solid, etc.

Other killer feature is DSP/EQing that supports stuff like importing (or building) squig presets (great for IEM users), UPnP devices (from desktop, and supports DSP for room corrections etc). Should be a tad more lightweight than navidrome (though I do love navidrome <3).

It's ok, they can use AI.
antihero··on Using AI to reverse engineer hardware
"Why is the computer playing weird noises"

"Claude is developing and testing a music app."

"Oh."

antihero··on Yes, and
It’s good but I kinda disagree with them stuck issue. Getting stuck is frustrating and having an easy way to get unstuck seems good.

However, the skill of having to try many different things and have patience and deal with an unproductive day and sleep in stuff, being able to pull yourself out of a hole, bootstrap deeper understanding in times when you feel helpless…it’s character building and incredibly valuable.

I feel like AI will allow people to have less resolve and determination, like looking at the crossword answers.

antihero··on Margaret Hamilton has died
Unfortunately often the problem seems to be how a government can do more evil.
antihero··on Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
Absolutely love the fact that they reference a "real package manager" like npm, which has been used in countless supply chain attacks, and brew, which can also run arbitrary scripts (though less likely in the mainline brew stuff, which many packages aren't able to be in).

Avoiding curlbashing is masking a deeper problem.

Why can they simply not add more computer?

I just go with Claude recommends at this point.

antihero··on 1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe
Well perhaps consider this before speaking my dude.

DHH has already written a bunch of pretty horrific stuff and this post was kind of the icing on the cake.

antihero··on 1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe
There might have been a wee lil' bit of context there.
antihero··on 1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe
>I get that some people feel strongly about fairness and justice,

Yes, as is common for anyone with a shred of decency.

> just as much about efficacy and being effective

And spoken like a god damn sociopath.

antihero··on 1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe
As a European and Londoner we absolutely have to speak up and be upset if companies support someone who’s said a whole load of awful shit and got away with it.

It’s not particularly complicated, actually.

I mean he bitched publicly that an llm wouldn’t translate his shitty racist article.
