jmkni··on New iMac with M6
AI harnesses like Claude will set it all up for you, you can just say "I want to run a localllm on this machine" and it will find the best one for your hardware and even help you fine tune it etc
jmkni··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
I have no idea what you are trying to say
jmkni··on The Dock on Mac, from OS 10 to macOS 27
To be fair I assume a lot of HN users spend most of their time in the terminal anyway, so maybe not representative of your average user
jmkni··on ASOS app users receive push notifications apparently sent by hackers
Speculating, but it could also be they don't actually have Braze access, but there is a table in snowflake to schedule push notifications

Or they are lying about having snowflake access and only actually have Braze

Lots of fun possibilities!

jmkni··on ASOS app users receive push notifications apparently sent by hackers
I've seen comments from people claiming they used to work at Asos saying that they have a Braze/Snowflake integration, and the push notification was sent from Braze
jmkni··on Show HN: Microsoft Office running with Wine on Linux with no virtualization
What version of Office are we talking about?
jmkni··on Show HN: Share your AI Setup, Learn from others
"What's the craic" immediately jumped out at me, of course you're from Belfast :)

Cool project!

jmkni··on The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week
I've noticed this

Google Play is regularly slower now than App Store Connect, which never used to be the case

jmkni··on The Deathray: A simple way for an untrusted site to freeze a Mac
well that was incredibly annoying lol
jmkni··on iPhone Duo
Also the biggest risk with the M1 was really software, that your Intel compiled apps wouldn't work on Apple Silicon

That was solved over time anyway as macOS improved and more developers ported their apps over

jmkni··on Muse Spark 1.3
lol

Definitely an upgrade over 1.2

jmkni··on Paint.net 5.2 alpha now runs on Linux
People say X is toxic, but Bluesky really is on another level
jmkni··on Monzo Stand-In
Just pointing out this is from February 2025, so has been a thing for a while
jmkni··on Degraded performance for multiple models
And github today lol https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/bmpybhnrky3x
jmkni··on I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux
I wonder how much of that is to do with patents? I imagine Apple and Google own all sorts of patents around tech to do with the camera/keyboard etc
jmkni··on OpenAI says my prepaid credits were consumed, refuses to show any record
I had this too, brought some credits (around $50USD) around Christmas time and only used a small amount, went to look the other day and it showed me a balance of zero, also couldn't figure out what happened to them

Small enough amount of money that I didn't bother chasing it up, but surprising to see other people saying the same thing, maybe I will

jmkni··on Building a native C# implementation of CEL engine
Semantic git commits have been a thing for years - https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/

I've always liked them and tried to convince others to use them

AI models seem to like them as well

jmkni··on Claude: Elevated errors across all models
this is my methadone until Claude comes back
jmkni··on Claude: Elevated errors across all models
Nostalgia lol
jmkni··on Claude: Elevated errors across all models
I just use variables...right? And loops??

All kidding aside, there's a part of me who wouldn't even be mad if AI just disappeared, I miss the pre-AI world

jmkni··on Airport Simulator
Maybe it's by design, but Show HN posts seem to just get completely buried, whereas posting stuff directly is more successful

I've spoke to other people who've had the same experience, maybe just a coincidence but could be why people avoid it?

jmkni··on Airport Simulator
Fun little game

However I notice people have realized they can set their own score with an HTTP request (I mean, it's Hacker News), maybe put in some sort of mitigation?

jmkni··on Stop Using OpenCode
posted just as I start to use OpenCode haha
jmkni··on Show HN: SkyPocket, see what's going on during your flight
Oh that's a nice idea, will look into it, cheers :)
jmkni··on Show HN: 18 Words
Ha fun little game :)
jmkni··on We Got This Wrong. and We Are Fixing It
why does your comment start in German, then go to Chinese and then Enlgish lol?
jmkni··on Bring back crappy forums
You might want to clarify what you mean by "SA" lol
jmkni··on Keir Starmer announces his resignation as prime minister
I always had a soft spot for May

When she was Home Secretary before being Prime Minister, it was her who blocked the extradition of Gary McKinnon

America wanted to extradite him and lock him up for decades (some even talked about “frying” him)

She’ll always have my respect for putting her foot down and saying no

jmkni··on AI coding at home without going broke
Totally agree, but then a lot of the same people will be talking about all of the custom instructions/rules/skills/features etc they have set up, so that's eating up a lot of the context window before you even start

When I do use AI, it's just the pure tool itself, and the context is the exact code I'm working with (because I'm trying to see if it can help me solve a specific problem), and I understand the rest of the codebase well enough to know if it's giving me good answers or bad ones

jmkni··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
The quality is obviously much worse, but still useful as a reference if you generally know what you are doing

It solve the "I'm coding on the plane and need to look up this thing I've forgotten" problem, for me at least
