cerved··on Claude Code's binary reveals silent A/B tests on core features
Is the a b test tired to the installation or the user?

cerved··on Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming?
So it does a forced reset of the dirt after each bash command? Does it confuse Claude? I frequently find it lacks path awareness of what it's working directory is

Do you mean compiler errors or some other kind of error message?
cerved··on Claude Advanced Tool Use
Claude is pretty good at forgetting to run maven with -am flag, writing bash with heredocs that it's interpreter doesn't weird out on, using the != operator in jq. Maybe Claude has early onset dementia.

To anyone wondering, I believe it's cursed because the finally continue blocks hijacks the try return, so the for loop never returns

It's extremely common in graphic design because it's so easy for everyone to have an opinion.
cerved··on Show HN: I made a heatmap diff viewer for code reviews
> Honestly, a simple data-driven heatmap showing which parts of the code change most often or correlate with past bugs would probably give reviewers more trustworthy signals.

At first I thought this to but now I doubt that's a good heuristic. That's probably where people would be careful and/or look anyway. If I were to guess, regressions are less likely to occur in "hotspots".

But this is just a hunch. There are tons of well reviewed and bug reported open source projects, would be interesting if someone tested it.

cerved··on It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts

This is just pedantic nonsense

Not a lot. Idk 25W TDP for the 16 core?
cerved··on Testing two 18 TB white label SATA hard drives from datablocks.dev
How much TDP and does it have 8+ sata with 10Gbe?
cerved··on Testing two 18 TB white label SATA hard drives from datablocks.dev
No. RAID 5/6 is still fundamentally broken and probably won't get fixed

I own this and it's worth it's weight in gold https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/A2SDi-H-T...

Yes. It's pricey but it's never been a problem. It can connect like 12 HDDs with 256GB ram and has 10GBe and runs at a tiny TDP. Has IPMI. Fits in a tiny case.

The only issue I had with this motherboard was that it was difficult to find someone who sold it. Love it

Also I don't see the built-in UPS. The external drives still use external power

cerved··on Testing two 18 TB white label SATA hard drives from datablocks.dev
Is that with ZFS or something else?

Mainly I wouldn't do it because of there's space and SATA ports it seems stupid. Hotter. Worse HW.

Can't really see much good reason to do it tbh except it's in a small hot case which is relatively easy to move around. Maybe if you do occasionally backups and you don't care about scrubbing and redundancy? Otherwise why not shuck them and throw them in a case?

cerved··on Improved Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite
Yesterday I asked Gemini to recalculate the timestamps of tasks in a sequence of tasks, given it's duration and the previous timestamp. It proceeded to write code which gave results like this

  2025-09-26T14:32:10Z
  2025-09-26T14:32:10Z200s
  2025-09-26T14:32:10Z200s600s
  2025-09-26T14:32:10Z200s600s300s
It then proceeded to talk about how efficient this approach was for thousands of numbers.

Gemini is by far the dumbest LLM I've used
