corndoge··on Japan's Jimi 'Mundane' Halloween Costumes of 2026
As someone who gets these also - it's not the author emailing you.

China?

Do you respond to every metaphor this way?
corndoge··on The Mythical Man-Month in the Age of AI
We solved this at work by creating a system that has an LLM read a Jira ticket assigned to Mike, create an implementation by itself and post a PR using a service account. Then Mike can come along and review it, thereby satisfying peer review as it was authored by a different user (in our SCM) than the one that reviewed it.

Needless to say it is getting really hard to care about my job anymore

corndoge··on The Origin Story of Kid Pix
Perfect reminder to play a little kid pix to get my mind right.
corndoge··on Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default
Let's be real, what do you think wrote the harness?
corndoge··on Terence Tao: Math 2.0 [pdf]
It's not hard to accept. Why are you drawing a false equivalence between a man having these flaws, and Tao's words in this case being rooted in those flaws?

As for you, what's your opinion about what he said and why do you think that?

corndoge··on Court throws out killer's sentence after judge said he loved AI video of victim
Agree with your post, but judges sentence, not juries.
corndoge··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Here in the US, "Flock bad" has entered the Algorithm which dictates what people see and care about. People otherwise uninvolved in technology, whose eyes would glaze over in a conversation about mass surveillance, they will light up if you say Flock. It's just in the zeitgeist. My comment was more meta commentary about how recommender algorithms and not people's personal thoughts / opinions are deciding which causes get attention.
corndoge··on What happened to the Snowden archive
The funny thing is that now we have people freaking out about Flock. These same people didn't care about Snowden files at the time. In the same vein there are many ALPR companies besides Flock but none of them are getting any heat.

Too much is happening for anyone to keep up with it all.

corndoge··on Hister: A private search engine for the pages you visit and the files you keep
Thanks for answering. Do you think these dovetail? Both archive everything you browse, so that's common functionality that could be factored out. I only want one archive, having two separate archives because one focuses on search and the other on long term archival is inefficient. What do you do for long term archival - or do you not have this use case?
corndoge··on Hister: A private search engine for the pages you visit and the files you keep
Are you aware of ArchiveBox?

https://archivebox.io/

What does Hister do differently? Search seems like a major differentiator, I'm wondering if leveraging the existing archivebox project for archival and implementing good search on top would be more efficient

> Given that this is HN, and a non-trivial number of us have ADHD, creativity is positively correlated with ADHD.

Very strong reasoning here. Is there anything this ADHD condition cannot explain?

corndoge··on GPS glitched across the US by as much as 33 feet
> We used it somewhat famously during the 9/11 attacks.

I have not been able to locate any source that backs up this claim.

corndoge··on Qantas Airbus A380 engine failure in 2010 (2023)
I wonder why you didn't read the article?
corndoge··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Any justification for this claim?
corndoge··on My Friend Aaron
I like it because each individual piece can happen and we probably all know people by now that have some aspect of Aaron - massive AI use, or into prediction markets, or live streaming, or just a friend who we have learned over time lacks scruples, or have watched them fade in response to life's challenges. The combination of all of these is then easy to imagine and that idea makes a good story.
corndoge··on Opus 5.0 drives incoherence into the stratosphere
It is possible, perhaps even probable, that no human read the thread.
corndoge··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Seems like a sad way to spend the limited hours of your life
corndoge··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)

In other words, the government has determined the "bribery" line item on developers' expense sheets is not large enough.

Which part of the article made you feel this way?
corndoge··on uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook
Correct, for better or worse facebook is the meeting ground for many communities and if you are in those communities you have to use it.
corndoge··on Show HN: Vibez – Open-Source Rust Based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
I guess your previous slop submissions for trading platforms and uh checks notes decentralized content syndication networks didn't get traction so you pivoted to dawslop?

Why are you spending your time this way? I'm genuinely curious

corndoge··on Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro?
As a massive VR enthusiast I agree with you, but that doesn't change the fact that we are the only 2 people doing it
corndoge··on Codex Security
I think the evidence contradicts you at this point
corndoge··on Delayed Gratification – Proud to Be 'Last to Breaking News'
I mean, people did try to discuss it. YouTube and Facebook actually deleted content discussing it, in possibly the most blatant act of political censorship in recent memory in this country, and barely anyone knows that.

Not that the US government has any credibility left after current admin, but the statements in here are factual, they really did take down youtube videos that were speculating about lab leak. I saw it happen.

corndoge··on Passkeys were invented by engineers with zero understanding of consumer brain
Yeah they're really trying to solve problems that should be solved at a technical level with soft solutions in porcelain. See also this issue asking keepassxc to disable plaintext exports, which is completely technically feasible
