post-it

I found Anthropic to be pretty intuitive.

Just as JPod by Douglas Coupland predicted.

I'm not sure, I just inherited it. But there's some things like analytics that can only really run in the browser so that might be why.

Once for SSR, once for client-side; for each entry view.

We use nextjs at work and I hate it. Why write each view once when you could write it twice?

I'm open to the idea that we're doing it wrong and that there's a correct and pleasant way to write nextjs, but I think with the tools available today, everyone should just profile and optimize their app so they don't need to render it serverside.

I feel the same about Gander (the Canadian Bluesky-compatible startup). The only content on it is people talking about how it's not Twitter. One of my top three beefs with it.

My girlfriend deliberately watches the extra ads to get in-game rewards, so I can't even pihole the whole home network unless I exclude her phone. (I find that most of these games work fine if you block ads, but they also don't give you the rewards for watching an ad that never loaded.)

Yes, but in the end that's not their fault, and in a sense it's good that this happened. It was well understood from the invention of security certificates that private keys might leak and certificates will need to be revoked. Systems that were not designed with this in mind should never have been deployed, and should now be decommissioned and replaced.

It might even be sensible to intentionally revoke a small number of certificates every month, to make sure nobody is complacent.

The attacker may have known about the exploit for a long time and were saving it, but upon finding out that it was about to be disclosed, they decided it was now or never.

Apps can integrate into iMessage, there's an API. You're thinking of sending and receiving actual iMessage messages as a full user, which they can't do.

Yes but it can't actually upgrade and release packages for discontinued distro release streams, that's a human problem.

"Women didn't like it and left" is certainly an interesting interpretation of the systemic exclusion of women from a field when it transitions from low-prestige manual work to high-prestige intellectual work.

Unless the magical code generation machine can update packages that are no longer being updated, this isn't really a problem that can be solved with magical code generation.

That's not what it does. `php --version` may well not report the php version that's actually running.

Because I own a number of USB C dongles and a number of HDMI cables, both of which are extremely common, but zero USB C to HDMI cables, which I'm assuming I could easily find on Aliexpress but have never actually seen before in my life.

Great, just need to make sure I have a dongle and a 10' HDMI cable in my iPad bag.

Does this mean we can print vinyl records?

I'm not convinced that it's possible to poison AI. Real data all correlates, fake data is all unique in its own way. I suspect feeding AI fake data is a waste of time.

Thank you for reminding me that we don't have Flash anymore. I'm counting blessings I forgot I had.

No, they're just avoiding bad press.

I think we're a breakthrough away. I don't think processing power is an issue. A 7B model has a lot of cruft (like knowledge of code syntax) that a character sim doesn't need. It should be possible to extract just the relevant parts of a larger and more powerful model and run it with the same resources you would run a general 7B model. We just don't have the ability to isolate and extract weights like that yet.

A lot of banks make it easier to export PDF statements. I wonder if you could try adding the ability to extract transactions from a PDF. I've been working on something more limited (extracting just the account balance) with Qwen3 4B with decent success.

> Also yes, it's local but the data you're importing is already with a private organization on the cloud. In that sense, having a local copy of it does not really do anything for me in terms of privacy etc.

I'm not sure what you mean? Surely processing on your computer instead of Anthropic's computer is a significant privacy improvement?

I've been developing a weaker version of this line of thought for code reviews for large architectural features.

A big motivator of thinking architecture through really well is that although the software may work just fine now, a good architecture will make it easy to add a feature a year from now, whereas a bad architecture will necessitate significant rewriting.

But significant rewriting is cheap nowadays, so in code reviews I put a lot more weight on whether it works today, and a lot less weight on whether we'll need to change it when making a different change.

Entire classes of things like "should this be in this component or split out into its own" just don't matter anymore because no matter how tedious changing that might be once there's a ton of things depending on it, that's the kind of thing AI can do no problem.

It seems like a lot of people enjoyed using the product. Isn't that value?

Yeah sure but your clever sidestep is just "hiding evidence from the court." The kind of person that feels the need to have a secret AI lawyer is also probably going to just tank their case in another way.

They'll just run discovery on you. If you try to respond to a subpoena with "the documents are outside the country and I won't give them to you," the judge will throw you in jail until you do.

More like attorney-client liability

Yeah, I tried to have AI arrange some furniture-shaped rectangles on a black-and-white floor plan. Impossible. I could painstakingly guide it through writing a floodfill to find the corners of a room and parse out the dimensions listed in that room, but at that point it wasn't using its image-seeing abilities at all, and it still couldn't do things like putting a particular rectangle against the bottom left corner.

> Isn’t the solution to define a contributor network (eg a GitHub org that you can apply to) based on trust?

Yes but this is fairly tedious people work that most open source maintainers are not interested in. Once the tooling is available to make that easy, it will become more popular.
