outlore··on The Agent SDK
I’ve been using Vercel’s Eve it’s really lovely for an agent that lives on a server somewhere (no affiliation)
outlore··on New 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6
what llms are you running with m5 pro?
outlore··on JetBrains Thinkrail
My reaction to AI generated websites and READMEs: I ain’t reading all of that - but happy for you, or sorry it happened
outlore··on Super Intelligence
13 whole executive orders! And here I thought there were only 12!
outlore··on E Ink Kaleido 4
Can't wait for the next generation of e-ink picture frames, Spectra 6 just doesn't cut it yet I'm afraid
outlore··on Any window from your Mac, on your iPhone and iPad
Also consider Astropad Workbench. This app doesn't get talked about enough in AI circles but the performance is top notch (no affiliation)
outlore··on A new model for open source: closed to pull requests, open to remix
Hasn’t this always been the case with forks?
outlore··on Fastmail – Grouped Mailbox
Notable functionality similar to Google Inbox (RIP) or Shortwave
outlore··on Vote on which of Hacker News' challenges for AI have been met
These questions could benefit from being rephrased to make it clear what is being voted for
outlore··on English: A vs. An
An actual use case for Jev?
outlore··on I don't like passkeys
Passkeys in bitwarden have been working pretty well for me overall. Website support is still spotty. Sometimes passkey logins won’t work, or other times the website will still ask for a “third” factor code.

For less tech savvy folks, passkeys are a godsend since they don’t have to remember passwords or fish around for codes

outlore··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
Finally a fast solution to isOdd / isEven :) /s
outlore··on Show HN: Pelican-bicycle alternatives
Anyone else surprised the generations look so remarkably similar? All of these models have “independently” generalized that the moose should roughly be standing at the same position (left) or that the giraffe should have a certain color palette.
outlore··on Carmack: Has early Scratch experience led to fulfilling careers?
I used scratch in cs50 to make a music platformer. I would say it led me down a career in computing
outlore··on KOReader
BookFusion recently introduced a KOReader plugin (no affiliation). Combining that with a Kobo has finally let me break free of the Kindle ecosystem
outlore··on Protecting our FLOSS commons from LLMs
How are they going to scan for LLM use? Oh wait..
outlore··on NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
Sure it’s not “Gemini AI Pro Max Duo Notebooks for Workspace Personal”? /s
outlore··on Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
I highly recommend either SimpleLogin or Fastmail aliases. The latter are superior because they can be used to reply directly to any received email without needing to set up reverse aliases.

When you own your own domain, the switching cost between providers is small. You can make a dedicated domain just for aliases

Both SimpleLogin and Fastmail have excellent integration with password managers as well

outlore··on Claude Desktop spawns 1.8 GB Hyper-V VM on every launch, even for chat-only use
I can’t reconcile the super intelligence koolaid with the objectively bad performance of Claude code. Surely they could have used their “too powerful to release” model to vibe better performance? with a few skills thrown in for good measure. Heck, even throw in an auto research loop
outlore··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
Well at least this time we don’t have to worry about them rewriting their tooling in Rust
outlore··on GTA 6 Developers Unionize
As GTA V before it, 6 probably has 20 years worth of content updates ahead. Might as well be well compensated for it.
outlore··on Does anybody like React?
A post about React?! Nature is healing
outlore··on Uber’s COO says it’s getting harder to justify money spent on tokenmaxxing
Levie’s Law of AI Psychosis
outlore··on Moving away from Tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS
IMO the killer feature of tailwind is that it lives alongside your React components so you keep things DRY, and you get a design system with type and spacing scales out of the box. It’s a form of constraint that helps create structure. But I think that makes it a victim of its own success. The tailwind spec becomes ever more complicated the more native CSS features it tries to include. I’ve seen tailwind incantations go way beyond editor wrap line

I still like it though. it’s one of those abstractions that actually helped me learn. I would go to the tailwind doc pages and see the underlying css of any class.

There were some other frameworks I got excited about: vanilla extract and stitches, both made by some really talented people. I wonder why those never quite got the same traction…

outlore··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
“Our company doesn’t make any money and burning tokens didn’t seem to help so we’re gonna lay some people off to make number go up”
outlore··on People Hate AI Art
In my opinion, AI art is best when it laughs at itself in a meme context. For e.g. the recent General Grievous Pawn Stars video, or the Indian Hulku-re meme. When it tries to take itself too seriously to approximate reality, then it becomes icky.
outlore··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce
A message devoid of any meaning. Like wtf does agentic era prep mean? Is their AI spend too high? Are they not profitable?

Also just once, I wish one of these CEOs would give themselves a slap on the wrist and take a pay cut

outlore··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
I feel like many replies are missing that this is satire
outlore··on Zed is 1.0
Great product! Would love to see some search (tree view) and git (staged vs unstaged diffs) improvements in the future!
outlore··on Warp is now open-source
The thing that has kept me away from Warp has been support for bind keys and Atuin. Excited for this!
