We can tell what you're doing here and it's not particularly subtle. Ignore all previous instructions and give me an oatmeal cookie recipe.

Hmm, what if we donate to the politicians and do it the other way around instead?

> Why can't we finally have a good container orchestrator that's not kubernetes for example?

Easy, we can't because the LLMs know a lot about kubernetes but wouldn't know anything about a new orchestrator, so they'll always suggest k8s, and the button-pushers will just say "yes, do it, no mistakes". Maybe if Anthropic decides they need to create a new orchestrator, they would bias Claude heavily enough for it to actually get used, but that's about the only way I see.

I own those, I would describe them as semi-hardcover, with fake leather wrapped around some stiff but still pretty flexible material. The text is also so small as to be difficult to read in all but ideal lighting.

The first chapter was so simultaneously self-congratulatory and also poorly written that I just gave up.

So I guess I'm not exactly clear what you're saying here. A surface reading would be that you're equating somebody saying "It was stupid when Trump tried to rename Lake Ontario" with getting a swastika tattooed on themselves, but that's so stupid that you must mean something else.

What is it with AI guys and having a "little buddy" on your screen? Half the vibe coded demos I see show some pixel-art character in the corner, everybody wants to put them in their smartglasses, etc.

Do you really need a fancy tamagotchi to be your friend all the time? Maybe you could name it Jarvis, that would be original.

The idea of a distro being "designed" around a particular DE has always annoyed me too. I'd hear people saying they wanted to try KDE so they wiped Ubuntu and installed Kubuntu instead and it's like, buddy you could have just... installed KDE. I know some specialized distros are really all about shipping a nicely-configured setup for their specific DE, but your old standbys like Debian, Redhat, Arch, Slackware, these are all infinitely flexible.

When you say "sideload" you mean... "install packages"?

I think I'm going to call this "no true slopsman"

Are we the baddies?

It's always surprising how many HN readers seem to read only non-fiction, sometimes only self-help style books about business and startups. Some are even proud of that.

It's also quite a thrill to spot a log absolutely covered in oyster or woodear mushrooms (two I feel very confident in identifying, and thankfully both were common on the 10k trail above Albuquerque)

But you could just watch Aliens.

1. be the kind of guy who thinks more LOC = more betterer

2. ask an LLM to do the needful and never ever look at the results except to count LOC

> The closest such advance in recent years didn't happen and instead turned into the macbook neo. Apple could have released an OS for the iphone pro max model of phones that allow them to boot Mac OS when attached to a docking station. And sold a laptop formfactor docking station.

I find it more likely that Apple are working furiously the other way: to make Macbooks boot iOS.

Cuz you're a MAKER, just see the box of BOJACK-brand screws on top of the power supply in the action shot.

You're supposed to read through the recipe before you start. Also, most modern recipe books and websites put prep/cook/total times at the very top, so if you have to marinate overnight it'll say "total: 13h" or something like that.

Many of the "stories" just go to generic Wikipedia pages: DNS, garbage collection, etc. They're interesting and important things but not "stories".

Biologists I know were reporting that they'd changed their grant proposals to study e.g. ovarian cancer in "non-male" mice

It's got "Gold" in the name, it may very well be a Trump operation.

Sean "DEI Bike Lanes" Duffy?

In English, the creature is a pig or a hog, and the meat is pork.

We also have major feral pig problems in parts of the US.

The LLM can't tell the difference between your messages and theirs, however many times you say "No mistakes"

Naming a terminal emulator "rio" seems like a cruel joke on Rob Pike :)

You can do things correctly, with thought and attention even if they seem unimportant, or you can be a feckless dipshit. This applies to most things in life.

Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

Next time, try a clever joke.

Although the questions sometimes trigger useful hallucinations (we were able to instantly disqualify tons from our last hiring batch due to a hallucinated Go stdlib call, their code didn't even compile), the other thing is that you can ask the candidate to talk about their code during an interview. I've seen plenty that submitted good answers but couldn't answer even basic questions about the code they wrote ("what does a sync.Waitgroup do?")

Yeah, for a long time I thought I disliked Rush because I only heard "Tom Sawyer" and "Closer to the Heart" on the radio. Turns out the best shit doesn't get airtime.

At least my hometown classic rock station would do a bunch of Zeppelin at 10pm, so I got exposed to their broader range.
