bostonvaulter2··on Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model
What is the business model for an open weight model?
bostonvaulter2··on Claude Code as a Daily Driver: Claude.md, Skills, Subagents, Plugins, and MCPs
How do you tell Claude about VOCABULARY.md? Does it auto-discover it?
bostonvaulter2··on Agents need control flow, not more prompts
Can you explain in more detail how you implemented those tools? Is that via a MCP server?
bostonvaulter2··on Anthropic tries to hide Claude's AI actions. Devs hate it
Did you enable verbose output in the settings? That gives you a different view then pressing ctrl-o. And this naming is endlessly confusing!
bostonvaulter2··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
Yeah, I didn't realize that there's a new sort of verbose mode now which is different than the verbose mode that was included previously. Although I'm still not clear on the difference between "verbose mode" and "ctrl + o". Based on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46982177 I think they are different (specifically where they say "while hiding more details behind ctrl+o".

Thank you for the config and the link, that's very much appreciated!
bostonvaulter2··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
Wait so when the UI for Claude Code says “ctrl + o for verbose output” that isn’t verbose mode?

> Another thing: is it possible to turn off the words like finagling and similar (I can't remember the spelling of any of them) ?

Big +1 on that. I find the names needlessly distracting. I want to just always say a single thing like “thinking”

> To be clear: we re-purposed verbose mode to do exactly what you are asking for. We kept the name "verbose mode", but the behavior is what you want, without the other verbose output.

Verbose mode feels far too verbose to handle that. It’s also very hard to “keep your place” when toggling into verbose mode to see a specific output.

bostonvaulter2··on What Claude Code Sends to the Cloud
Specifically do you mean when you say git history is sent? How much of it is included in each request?
bostonvaulter2··on Graphite is joining Cursor
As someone who loves all the non-AI portions of Graphite (the CLI and the reviewer UI) should I be worried about this acquisition? Or will the CLI and Reviewer Ui continue to be be maintained and improved?
bostonvaulter2··on How Google Maps allocates survival across London's restaurants
This has terrible top suggestions for my city, looks like complete overpriced tourist traps.
bostonvaulter2··on Why I Chose Elixir Phoenix over Rails, Laravel, and Next.js
> He's also implying that Rails does not use web sockets to communicate with frontend which is not only wrong it should be evidently wrong to anyone who built a Rails app in the last 3 years

Where is the article saying that? I only see " Those things are possible in Rails and Laravel, but they take a bit more effort to set up." which is a very different (and more nuanced/personal take) then what you're stating.

bostonvaulter2··on Comparing the Glove80 and Maltron Keyboards
I wish someone would make a keyboard with keycaps that are like 80% size. I think that would make it much easier to hit some of the keys that are further away.
bostonvaulter2··on Comparing the Glove80 and Maltron Keyboards
Have you tried using key tilters? It makes a significant difference for me: https://sites.google.com/view/keyboards/hardware/accessories...
bostonvaulter2··on Comparing the Glove80 and Maltron Keyboards
> glove80 has far and away the most comfortable thumb cluster for my hands

If I'm reading your reply further down the page right then you only use two of the 6 keys. Is that right? For me, I think I'd want to use at least 4 or 5 keys in my thumb cluster before I could call it comfortable.

bostonvaulter2··on Show HN: memEx, a personal knowledge base inspired by zettlekasten and org-mode
The ex suffix could also come from Elixir (its a common pattern in many libraries)
bostonvaulter2··on Figma OSS Alternative
Does anyone know what license this is released under? I looked for a few minutes on the site but I didn’t find it.
bostonvaulter2··on Household size and the housing stock
One part of the answer to that is a land value tax. That way the “vultures” won’t be able to simply sit on the property waiting for it to appreciate before selling it.
bostonvaulter2··on You've just inherited a legacy C++ codebase, now what?
Nice ideas! Do you have any tips for software to help automate some of those analyses?
bostonvaulter2··on Chromium bug bounty money tree browser
I'm currently reading a book about that topic! https://pragprog.com/titles/atcrime/your-code-as-a-crime-sce...
bostonvaulter2··on Elixir at Ramp
Since Elixir 1.6 it is possible to create custom guards with `defguard`: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html#defguard/1
bostonvaulter2··on Yarn 4.0
There's also lerna
bostonvaulter2··on Reflect – Multiplayer web app framework with game-style synchronization
Very neat project! What is the business model for this project?
bostonvaulter2··on Detroit wants to be the first big American city to tax land value
I thought Philadelphia was closer to a LVT?
bostonvaulter2··on Unexpected benefits of sun exposure on skin
Where do you get the UV data from?
bostonvaulter2··on You can now use WebGPU in Cloudflare Workers
Could this be used to run playwright.dev with GPU acceleration?
bostonvaulter2··on Ask HN: How do you architect a versioning system?
Ah, thanks for the link. Yeah a CRDT would be pretty nice although there's soo many constraints that you accept with one.

Thanks for the link to y-sweet! That's pretty sweet! ;)

bostonvaulter2··on GitHub merge queue is generally available
GitHub's merge queue does support merging multiple PRs in a single merge operation. It's the "Maximum pull requests to merge" setting
bostonvaulter2··on Self-hosted photo and video backups directly from your mobile phone
Sounds like a nice setup! How are you backing up from syncthing to the cloud? Are your backups encrypted?
