cassianoleal··on Ask HN: Why do people say "I built it" when we should say "Claude built it"?
Do product owners build products?
cassianoleal··on Ask HN: Why do people say "I built it" when we should say "Claude built it"?
Yes, it should. And they should be liable. And that probably answers your question.
cassianoleal··on Apple HomeView
This is not about controlling your smart home. You can do that from your phone, tablet, computer, specific devices like thermostats and switches, voice via Siri, etc.

This is about being able to act as a Matter/Thread hub, which the Apple TV can do regardless of the control mechanism.

cassianoleal··on Firefox Enterprise
I don’t think you’re getting the best of Firefox by using Chromium
cassianoleal··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
Because Apple controls the only browser engine that runs on iOS and iPadOS. There are no alternatives. Chrome, Firefox and other browsers are just the browser chrome on top of the Safari/WebKit engine. Apple will not allow anything else.
cassianoleal··on Were software engineers blue-collar workers all along?
> A bakery/bodega owner is a "capital owner"

In communist terms, these are part of the petit burgeois. They are technically capital owners but are as vulnerable as workers. Crucially, they don't own any relevant means of production.

> A top NBA player is a worker

Yes, and if he fails to turn his income into capital, thus becoming a capital owner, he'll be as vulnerable as all other workers or more since his working age is much more limited.

cassianoleal··on Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking?
These are the same companies claiming their AIs are sentient and spell the end of the world unless the government stops them from doing it.

They are at the very least grossly negligent.

cassianoleal··on Solar panels that plug into your wall
Utility-scale solar might be cheaper but doesn't make my house resilient to grid failures. It also only benefits me when the grid is upgraded enough that ... well, it benefits me.

> certain keyboard shortcuts are off-limits. Press the Escape key and you are thrown out of fullscreen mode. There’s been no way to prevent this — until now.

> The Keyboard Lock API lets you request access to specific keys when your application needs it. A game can now use the Escape key for its own menu system.

I cannot recommend StopTheMadness [0] enough against this kind of user-hostile "feature".

cassianoleal··on IRCv3
MSN, mIRC and all other forms of chatting and comms (like Orkut) were also highly popular in Brazil. I guess Brazilians just like to chat.
cassianoleal··on IRCv3
ICQ was incredibly popular amongst “normies”, at least in Brazil. Much more so than amongst nerds who were mostly still on IRC.
cassianoleal··on Why are coding agents so dumb?
It does use OpenCode under the hood to run the agents but I think it's quite a bit more than a layer on top of it.

The dev is very responsive on Discord and I'm sure he'd be happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

cassianoleal··on Why Are Coding Agents So Dumb?
I believe OpenChamber [0] ticks all or at least almost all of TFA's boxes.

cassianoleal··on OLED burn-in test: 30-month update
Too little, too late. With the growing enshittification of macOS and the Apple ecosystem in general, I couldn't be happier having made the move back to Linux on a Framework laptop, after almost 2 decades.
cassianoleal··on OLED burn-in test: 30-month update
I have for years wanted Apple to offer a MacBook with a matte screen. Now with a Framework I couldn't go back to the impossible glare.
cassianoleal··on The Forgetful CPU (Linux on M4)
My M2 Pro rarely spins up the fan. Usually when it does, it takes me a while to notice. When I do, sometimes I need to stay quiet for a second to even locate where the low purr comes from. Then I usually smile a little and think “hey, the fan is on!” and forget about it again.

In fairness, my Franework 13 Pro is the same, only it gets less hot than the MacBook.

cassianoleal··on The Forgetful CPU (Linux on M4)
And Frameworks. Which even at the new 13 Pro tier are still not even close to MacBook quality, although I do much prefer its keyboard to Apple’s.
cassianoleal··on Legal risks pile up for Altman as OpenAI uncovers hacks
I can’t access TFA because of the paywall, so apologies if the answer to my question is on it.

Why are you focusing on them as the manufacturer? They were the ones yielding and firing the weapons, regardless of the fact that they were also their manufacturers.

Do you absolve a murderer just because he made his own pistol?

cassianoleal··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
Is it actually bullshit? Where's the data?
cassianoleal··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
> The current data center craze just feels like the same thing but on a bigger scale.

At a large enough scale, it doesn't matter how efficient you are - you're still causing a more damage than the region or the world can take.

cassianoleal··on Alarm Grows over 'Clearly Illegal' US Election Meddling in Brazil
> for anyone to mention current president Lula in the presidential debate

This is blatantly false. They ruled that the other candidates could not _direct questions at Lula_. Not that he couldn't be mentioned. Those are very different things.

cassianoleal··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
Sounds like it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just write the code yourself.
cassianoleal··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
Very frequently when troubleshooting things with an agent it goes off, grabs a compiled library or executable from the system, decompiles it and figures out the exact bug, a possible solution, and if there are workarounds I can apply before upstream fixes it.

Wouldn't the reviewee eventually learn to trick the reviewer?
cassianoleal··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
> if you've been online a little bit you'd know this expression

I've been online since circa 1995 (earlier if you count BBSs), and I can't say I did. It's possible to infer its meaning but assuming everyone is on the same circles as one is, is silly.

cassianoleal··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
Only in this case they have been announcing how these tools are the end of the world, and they negligently kept running them with no real guardrails.
cassianoleal··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
Oh, ok. So I can rob 1000 banks. As long as I only get caught on the 1000th I can get the previous 999 swept under the same "I didn't know I was robbing the bank" umbrella?

Don't tell me they were not aware of the risks when they've been at the forefront of the AI doom discourse. It's very hard to not put blame on them.

cassianoleal··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
The first time it happens, “there is no criminal intent” may carry some weight. After tens of thousands of instances, a lot less so…
cassianoleal··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
All good! What you linked is a very cool project too!

This is the opposite of what GP asked for.
