coldtrait··on Doory – Open-Source Canva
If the app was vibe coded, it's commit standards are irrelevant.
coldtrait··on Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
You can't just say that and leave us hanging without the repo bruh
coldtrait··on Changes at Google DeepMind: Demis Hassabis from CEO to Chair, Jeff Dean departs
No it won't.
coldtrait··on Claude Cookbook
Yea i do the same. I can't be bothered to watch videos and courses on how to use claude better when I can simply ask it myself.
coldtrait··on Show HN: Heartbeat – A simple public page for your real-world and online status
Great, trying it out.
coldtrait··on Claude Code Unpacked : A visual guide
I hope whoever seeks to replace humans with AIs to write code never find this comment.
coldtrait··on Show HN: Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)
Android has good patches for everything except X thanks to Elon's meddling. There's a cumbersome workaround but I'm just choosing to use it within brave, or other PWAs offerings.

The team behind Windsurf was acquired by Google, but Windsurf remains its own independent IDE somehow.

coldtrait··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
If I was 60 and still had to do any work like this I'd consider myself a failure.
coldtrait··on Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting
Can we also ban accounts that post racist stuff?
coldtrait··on Ask HN: What Online LLM / Chat do you use?
Got it.

Since I primarily used ChatGPT, I picked up a bunch of prompts from people sharing it in order to optimize for better results. I don't know if this is relevant anymore as I think they've fixed quite a bit and now you can customize tone and warmth directly.

My prompts were more on avoiding filler, be more direct etc, no emojis etc.

coldtrait··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
That was what I felt too. Why even need an interview for an acquihire when you have a direct link with the founder/CEO?
coldtrait··on Why is Claude an Electron app?
Couldn't you ask Claude Code to vibe-code a Swift app?
coldtrait··on Ask HN: What Online LLM / Chat do you use?
Do you customize or personalize these at all? Or use it just out of the box? I use gemini for image generation and as an, assistant through my android although not frequently. As a chat assistant the online Google UI is a turnoff personally.
coldtrait··on Show HN: uBlock filter list to blur all Instagram Reels
In my case, Instagram eventually got to a point where most of my friends and family stopped posting. And I started following more creators because their content was interesting. These days there are some a few people I follow who are friends and I mostly just send them dumb reels. I see it more as a platform to consume content than keeping up with updates.

That said, I go through cycles of removing the app and reinstalling it later because it gets addictive.

coldtrait··on Anthropic Cowork feature creates 10GB VM bundle on macOS without warning
This seems to be a recent popular tool to handle this - https://github.com/tw93/Mole

I also prompt warp/gemini cli to identify unnecessary cache and similar data and delete them

coldtrait··on Simplenote is no longer in active development
Works now. Downloaded the app!
coldtrait··on Switch to Claude without starting over
Thanks for your perspective.
coldtrait··on Switch to Claude without starting over
Thanks, I'll try more of Claude. Back in the day when I first tried it out I easily burned through message limits every day. I've been mulling over paying for Claude Code but I just keep using the free tier of Antigravity and some from my Pro plan.

I happen to have a Gemini Pro subscription that I got through my network provider in India, but i use it only for coding and Nano Banana slop. And occasionally live audio/video chat from my mobile which is actually the best use case I've seen so far although it gets old pretty fast and isn't great beyond basic tasks.

coldtrait··on Switch to Claude without starting over
As someone who can't afford to care about ethics and pay a monthly subscription fee, is there anything in the regular Claude chat that beats OpenAI?
coldtrait··on Simplenote is no longer in active development
I should measure my expenses in biriyanis more.
coldtrait··on Simplenote is no longer in active development
Doesn't open for me.
coldtrait··on I asked Claude for 37,500 random names, and it can't stop saying Marcus
I had no idea this was a common thing lol. Can't imagine it where I grew up. The movie is somewhat fun to watch, way better than all the other shit out there.

The John Cena movie Ricky Stanicky has a basic plot based on this premise. They use their imaginary friend to get out of prior commitments.
coldtrait··on ‘Viking’ was a job, not a matter of heredity: ancient DNA study (2020)
Many Americans who are Italian and Irish do the same thing.
coldtrait··on Ask HN: Any real OpenClaw (Clawd Bot/Molt Bot) users? What's your experience?
As a noob here I assumed these are legitimate folks with good intentions. Am I wrong?
