Out of curiosity, what kind of custom harness are you thinking?
ctxc··on Ask HN: How to help AI find financials in large PDF faster?
I do something tangential. If you can pick out identifiers for these pages with deterministic features (financial pages have the most numbers on the page, or have the word "director", "general manager" and "managing director" on the same page, etc)

Pick those pages out and pipe only those to the llm

Luckily I work with excel w lots of sheets and don't need to do pdf to text conversion etc

I was going to type you a sympathetic message and took a peek at your profile, and...well that's quite a resume you got there!
ctxc··on "Over 1.5 million GitHub PRs have had ads injected into them by Copilot"
Accountability. Same reason I want to read human written content rather than obvious AI: both can be equally shit, but at least with humans there's a high probability of the aspirational quality of wanting to be considered "good"

With AI I have no way of telling if it was from a one line prompt or hundreds. I have to assume it was one line by default if there's no human sticking their neck out for it.

ctxc··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
I took ~ to be a "singing tone" for some reason till I saw sibling and realized it might be an attempted strikethrough xD

ctxc··on Study: 'Security Fatigue' May Weaken Digital Defenses
Fair enough. I had a hard time advocating for good password flows because "standards" said frequent rotation etc.

And tbh when you apply those standards with context and are faced with people bare-minimum pointing at the standards, you sometimes come off as less knowledgeable - such is the authority of research/standards.

Anyway, I skimmed your profile and learnt a new word, milquetoast - so thanks for that!

Fairly obvious? Or isn't it that way for everyone?

ctxc··on OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
Oh wow. I got multiple messages in a day and just assumed it was a cache bug.

It's annoying how I always get that "claude code has a native installer xyz please upgrade" message

You're not wrong. If comment sections were restricted to people who knew the subject matter AND the author, it would be empty indeed.
ctxc··on Show HN: I built a tool that watches webpages and exposes changes as RSS
That's good reasoning, but the parent's point still stands?

That's a LONG time! I'm happy for you :)
ctxc··on Claude Experiencing Elevated Errors Across All Platforms
You have no idea how glad I am to see you all here. xD

I asked it to add debug logs. Asked it to check debug logs. Stuck, locked me out.

Checked debug file, it was 1.6GB (!!!)

For a while I thought I was kicked out of the platform for violation of some T&C.

ctxc··on Show HN: enveil – hide your .env secrets from prAIng eyes
Haha, takes me back - we used to do this for PII too, also Java
ctxc··on A Pokémon of a Different Color
That's so cool! I'd love to see a picture of the whole thing.

I had some cartoon crochet socks made for my kid as well, haha! Pokemon, Naruto, Club Penguin, Road Runner... (he's 1 and so these are mostly from my childhood)

ctxc··on A Pokémon of a Different Color
Anecdotally, I'm a fan and generally pick the rarer ones. Eg I had a pair of socks and a few stickers made for my kid which had rarer pokemon.

If OP got a tattoo of Pikachu, it was interesting to me that he picked the most mainstream pokemon (I assumed he was a huge fan)

But from the response, my sample of 1 assumption checks out: "When I was planning it was obvious there'd be a Pokémon due to his (continuing) interest in those and to me as a non-fan that's the most immediately-recognizable one."

ctxc··on A Pokémon of a Different Color
Interesting choice, why Pikachu?

I always feel like it's too mainstream, I like the uncommon ones more

ctxc··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
Can you elaborate? Is this a glassmorphism reference?
ctxc··on Show HN: I spent 4 years building a UI design tool with only the features I use
You're right. Even across stuff I _really_ use it's hard to bring myself to try.

Anecdotally I haven't tried Codex and use Claude Code. The day I try Codex will be when I hear from my friends/communities that it's much better. Same for IDEs, STT tools, etc

ctxc··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
I feel bad about it but sometimes it's so daft, I can't even xD

It's not my fault, they set high standards!
