Ah yes, k8s8n.
eleventen··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Contempt for art is what this is.

For example, Sure, you can make a craven facsimile of punk art for your poster. But that art style signals to punks that other punks are going to be there. You would never reproduce that style using traditional methods because you are not a member of that artistic tradition.

You should keep the originals. They signal to AI slopsters that this is a great place to meet other slopsters.

I suspect they cannot, or else they would have on the website.
eleventen··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
Anthropic in 2025: We can use our dominant market position to degrade the harness experiences of our competitors because they will never adopt CLAUDE.md

Anthropic in 2026: We are losing our market position. Users who adopted other harnesses have a degraded Claude Code experience because it doesn't recognize their AGENTS.md

eleventen··on Show HN: Capsule – Single-file web apps that save their data into SQLite
In defense of capsule, the Filesystem API is janky and has kind of shit UX. Less sophisticated users would probably prefer the UX of a purpose built tool.

I prefer worse UX for the sake of standards and zero install, but many people would prefer the opposite. I don't think Capsule is intended for the HN crowd.

You can get a cheap approximation of this with chromium browsers + Filesystem API and a PWA manifest for that native-ish feel. AI has reignited my interest in building based 100% on browser native features.

eleventen··on Show HN: Pelican-bicycle alternatives
I was picturing that fleet of playground equipment they turned into space ships in the Jimmy Neutron movie, so Astra gets my vote.

eleventen··on Show HN: Toast, a beautiful by default in terminal IDE
I have long wanted a lightweight terminal-based editor that understands VS Code .code-workspace configuration files. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/workspaces/worksp...

I have so much shit now that I have custom workspaces to deal with because "repository" has stopped being the correct boundary to think about software development (for me). It would be great if _any_ decent editor would support these, especially Zed.

eleventen··on Herdr Studio
Look at that: https://github.com/kryptamine/herdr-auto-title

I must say I didn't know this existed. I looked into having the LLM name herdr sessions but found that tabs aren't addressable - the agent doesn't know which tab it's running in to target it for renaming.

The plugin is interesting and the defaults are terrible, but I think I could get what I need here. Thanks for your comment!

eleventen··on Herdr Studio
Eagerly awaiting https://www.superlogical.com/ TBH.
eleventen··on Herdr Studio
Herdr has been my daily driver for about a month now. It cant auto-name sessions like every other multiplexer though. That one stupid feature is so valuable I'm considering moving on.
eleventen··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
I agree that AI is suppressing developer wage growth and taking real jobs. The opposite argument is being made elsewhere in the thread, and I think that argument is wrong.
eleventen··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
Same. I use this to fix claudespeak. Any hypothetical token savings are just gravy.

eleventen··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Of course it would. Supply and demand. Some companies would decide not to bother. Others would decide it was worthwhile. The limited pool of supply (app developers) would be distributed across demand.

What do you think is special about Carbon? It looks indistinguishable from any other design system to me.
eleventen··on How Fairphone built the Fairphone Gen 6+
Are ya'll really repairing your phones? I replace mine when it can't run Google Maps smoothly anymore.

After 4-5 years, on every phone I've ever had, user interactions begin to lag noticeably. Apps launch much more slowly. Intense graphical apps like maps become frustrating to use. At some point I can't take it anymore and replace the phone, long before its physical parts or battery have worn out.

...minutes?

eleventen··on Fine, I'll build my own text editor
https://overtype.dev/ exists to let you do exactly this (for markdown). There’s also https://codemirror.net/ which is like Monaco but more lightweight.
eleventen··on Show HN: Markdown Viewer and Editor
This is the magic of Progressive Web Apps. PWAs support the File Handler api to register themselves as the handler for certain file types.

I also just discovered OverType.dev which is a library for exactly this purpose. I might jettison my editor and just use OverType!
eleventen··on GPU World
What percentage of your time is spent cruising at highway speed? Presumably that one GPu would be saturated all the time.
eleventen··on Show HN: Markdown Viewer and Editor
No syntax highlighting in the editor? I vibecoded a pretty robust browser Filesystem API based markdown editor myself too last week. Recommend either rolling your own with a transparent textbox layered approach or just using Monaco or https://codemirror.net/.

I did a markdown kanban thing. Filesystem API is very cool and underused. https://github.com/subdavis/mdello/

eleventen··on 'Mad honey' that can stop your heart is being sold online
I was wondering if someone would mention this. I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC and heard this all my life. Once had a camp councilor who would inspect every twig to make sure there was none burned.

I also burned Rhododendron wood in campfires and brush fires more times than I can count without any adverse effects that I know of. My back yard was completely overgrown with the stuff. I’m sure the smoke inhalation of any fire is worse for you than anything specific about rhododendrons.

I came back to this thread today. Thank you for the kind words, this was lovely to read.
eleventen··on Water Behind the Watts: The Hidden Risk of Powering Data Centers
I want to offer up a point for reasonable debate here: Suppose you are against new data center construction as a (clumsy) policy lever to regulate the pace of AI progress and harms.

Do the facts matter? If the water issue is “fake” or overblown, but it’s resonating with voters who are packing town halls and ultimately effecting the change you want (a broad slowdown in the construction of new compute) is that a problem? Congress isn’t going to get off its ass. There is momentum here. Who actually cares if people are making misinformed choices if the outcome is correct? Isn’t this how literally all politics works?

(If you think the outcome is not correct, that’s a different debate entirely.)

eleventen··on Water Behind the Watts: The Hidden Risk of Powering Data Centers
I think water usage due to increased electricity demand is a perfectly reasonable measure.

I’d be fine seeing that compared to the water used by the rest of the normal electricity generation baseline I use.
