barbariangrunge··on Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" exposes passwords in 1,122 public GitHub files
There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to have the audo-mode safeguards happening when we set things to manual mode. Shouldn't you just have it checking on claude anyway?

why would they delete their home directories?

Good point depending on your workflow for giving it permissions within the sandbox. Does it need those permissions though? Can't it just ask you to do the provisioning via curl etc? Or do you have it automating your cloud infrastructure, jira, testing servers, and git etc so that you can't disconnect it any more?
barbariangrunge··on Nvidia store pulls RTX 5080 following RTX 5090 removal, prices rise to 2.2X MSRP
At the same time, game studios can't publish a game that runs steady at their target frame-rate on ps5 to save their lives (except for indie titles). I work in game dev: it's doable and makes no sense to me that tiny teams are optimizing their games better than $100M projects
barbariangrunge··on North Korean fake job interview led to $6.3B Binance heist
What do you all do to detect if a recruiter or company reaching out to you is real or not? So much is remote now, and somebody could ai-generate a fake company and linkedin presence to make their scams more effective
barbariangrunge··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
Interesting project. Out of curiosity, have you done more work studying the engine, eg, an architecture breakdown or programming pattern analysis?
barbariangrunge··on Why fastDOOM is fast
As a gamedev, those slowdowns are common. Ui rendering, due to transparency, layering and having to redraw things, and especially from triggering allocations, can be a real killer. Comparing old vs new before allowing it to redraw is really helpful. I found layers and transparency was a killer in css as well in one project, but that was more about reducing layers there
barbariangrunge··on Mozilla Foundation has no members
The article isn’t very substantive. What is typical of similar organizations? What exactly is a foundation? Are there any important benefits to not having members for its mission? How is the board chosen? The article describes none of this
barbariangrunge··on Ad-tech setting 'Privacy-Preserving Attribution' is opt-out in Firefox 128
Can anyone comment on how effectively privacy is preserved with this approach?
barbariangrunge··on Using the 5S Principle in Coding
5S is more about organizing your workspace, but this article is about organizing your work product. And it doesn’t say anything that isn’t standard dev practice, it just organizes the items under a strained 5S umbrella. Imho
barbariangrunge··on Why Use Onion Layering?
What do you mean by background in apis? You mean experience working with them?
barbariangrunge··on Aboriginal ritual passed down over 12,000 years, cave find shows
Imagine a smartphone lasting even 12 years
barbariangrunge··on Greece introduces the six day work week
Nobody is hiring armies of workers just so those workers can “scrape out a living.” Companies cut jobs, they rarely create them for charity

What about advertising?
barbariangrunge··on Fastmail lays off 60% of union bargaining committee in surprise restructure
Can you export easily these days?
barbariangrunge··on Windows 11 Government Edition is what everyone wants, but there is a catch
The catch is it’s fake
barbariangrunge··on Microsofts AI boss thinks its perfectly OK to steal content if its on open web
I don’t care if it’s expensive or difficult. If somebody wants copyrighted content to train an ai, buy the rights to it before creating these derivative works based on it
barbariangrunge··on ChatGPT is hallucinating fake links to its news partners' biggest investigations
I think the bigger issue is trust. The chat it is no longer trying to return objective information. “OpenAI” is letting companies pay to have it promote their content—is that accurate?
barbariangrunge··on 200 people charged in $2.7B health care fraud crackdown
Apply that to other situations though. Those sorts of books are ordinary. If you used that sort of profiling after the fact on everyone, you could make anyone look suspicious or untrustworthy

Witch hunters during the inquisition literally used to do this sort of thing to help condemn people

barbariangrunge··on 200 people charged in $2.7B health care fraud crackdown
People shouldn’t be profiled based on what they watch or read. Are we going so say that couldn’t video games are evidence that somebody is going to go commit violence next? What if you’re into spy movies? Crime documentaries? Weird reality tv shows?

I read all kinds of non fiction things I won’t even list here but I seem to be a perfectly boring member of society. It’s just interesting subject matter

barbariangrunge··on YouTube in talks with record labels over AI music deal
As a content creator, where can you even go and what can you do to get an audience these days that doesn’t surrender everything you make to be used to train ais to replace you?
barbariangrunge··on Waymo One is now open to everyone in San Francisco
It does. It uses a specific band on the electro magnetic spectrum commonly supported by most receivers
barbariangrunge··on The case for criminalizing scientific misconduct
Science itself would have been considered a form of intellectual misconduct at one point. It would be important to be very careful here with definitions and scope, Eg, limiting it to fake data
barbariangrunge··on Show HN: I made a puzzle game that gently introduces my favorite math mysteries
This is lovely. The Ux isn’t my favourite when it’s time to draw but it’s pretty great besides that
barbariangrunge··on New York bans 'addictive feeds' for teens
Karma probably should be
barbariangrunge··on FTC sues Adobe for hiding fees and inhibiting cancellations
Amazon accounts are really hard to delete too. You have to talk to a retention person and jump through says of hoops
barbariangrunge··on Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2
It’s not financially worthwhile for most third party developers to develop apps for a platform with too few users. Not sure how the iPhone originally did it, that seems pretty amazing to me.

But yeah, need a product to drive up adoption so a healthy ecosystem can form around it… so they can capture 30% of it
