preciousoo··on A sustainable web career, for when all this blows over
beautiful site though
preciousoo··on A sustainable web career, for when all this blows over
A sustainable phone operator career, for when all this “world wide web” thing blows over
preciousoo··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
No one hates msft more than me, but there’s no way you think this one data point is useful to explain anything at all
preciousoo··on Beware, Claude Code deletes >30 day old transcripts. Anthropic won't fix it
I just noticed that it’s a config option. Weird that it’s so short though, I can understand why it may be needed for users who spawn hundreds of sessions a day
preciousoo··on Beware, Claude Code deletes >30 day old transcripts. Anthropic won't fix it
Isn’t “Anthropic won’t fix it” a little sensational for barely month old issue with little activity(two upvotes, one of which is me), in backlog of 5k+? Agree that it’s a real issue that need fixing however
preciousoo··on I've always wondered if anyone used sharing buttons on news sites and blogs
The link sharing platform is full of people interested in sharing links, that makes sense, similar to how a mall would be full of people interested in shopping

What definition of “often” includes a 0.21% rate?
preciousoo··on Show HN: Continue? Y/N: A 60-second game about AI agent permission fatigue
I created a watcher for this problem, to watch my PRs for unfinished scope and have a fresh Claude review

Uses tmux and gh https://github.com/Kyu/claude-pr-watch

preciousoo··on What Apple and Google are doing to push notifications
I dont uninstall apps that annoy me with notifications, but I do disable them. Most of my notifications these days are news or texts. So be it
preciousoo··on SWE-bench Verified no longer measures frontier coding capabilities
Or create "blind" benchmarks.

10 groups of 3 researchers, all have their own benchmarks that they do not share (testing it without the authors knowing is a different problem, maybe they only run the benchmarks when the gen-pop has access to the models).

that's 10 different tests. Aggregate pass rates

preciousoo··on “Car Wash” test with 53 models
“Exam Question: {prompt}” was enough to get me the right answer on whatever model you get with logged-out ChatGPT.

Neither prompt was enough for llama3.3 or gpt-oss-120b

preciousoo··on Monty: A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI
Pydantic + FastAPI are my two favorite python shops right now, they’re always dropping fun new projcts
preciousoo··on Anthropic Economic Index report: economic primitives
The PhD can't read minds, the quality if the request from a moron would be worse than the quality of the request from someone with avg intelligence. And the output would probably noticeably differ accordingly
preciousoo··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
I guess we’ll be rebuilding society from scratch anyways
preciousoo··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
It depends on if the people with weapons can find the people with food. With no rule of law, everything is on the table. Warlords still exist in many parts of the world today
preciousoo··on Show HN: H-1B Salary Data Explorer
Search/Data in general is incomplete and doesnt match the heatmap. Good idea though
preciousoo··on Ask HN: How to do a Personal Cybersecurity audit
makes sense, I didnt know you could have multiple (learned in this thread)
preciousoo··on Ask HN: How to do a Personal Cybersecurity audit
I’m wary ofhardware 2fa because I’m prone to losing things. Do you have a plan for if that happens?
preciousoo··on Hiring a developer as a small indie studio in 2025
The take home assignment is to create a web service that changes the color of a cube, hardly anything cutting edge. Do you expect to be paid for coding interviews too?
preciousoo··on Hiring a developer as a small indie studio in 2025
Click the link of the take home and tell me if you expect it to take you more than 20 minutes. I don’t understand the resections here
preciousoo··on Hiring a developer as a small indie studio in 2025
I wonder if the people replying bothered to look at the take home question. I wish I had an interview like that, it would be the second easiest interview I’ve ever done in my life, and then task is interesting and easy to me, as someone who just started learning unity a week ago
preciousoo··on Hiring a developer as a small indie studio in 2025
> Hi, I’d like to work for your company > Great, state your price and availability If match: > create a simple project(<1 hour of work) that demonstrates familiarity with technologies that will be used on the job. If done, check for team fit.

This is toxic to you???

preciousoo··on Beliefs that are true for regular software but false when applied to AI
Seems like a self fulfilling prophecy
preciousoo··on Palisades Fire suspect's ChatGPT history to be used as evidence
Coming into the thread(and general discussion about chatgpt being used as evidence) with this context, I’m confused about the reactions to this. Online activity has been used as evidence as far as I remember. OpenAI also has a couple high profile cases against them with chatgpt history used as the primary evidence
preciousoo··on Python developers are embracing type hints
classes are optional in python, does that violate the spirit?
preciousoo··on H-1B program grew 81 percent from 2011 to 2022
That's ~6% of the 9M. Not nothing but not a glaring amount. I'm seeing that there are 1.7M total SWEs in the US, which would bring the H1B % to 30%, assuming all are SWEs. This would make it a significant amount, not sure if it's enough to suppress wages / pass on US persons if they attempted it.

One look at the top H1B employers should stop this narrative however, because those companies do not pay near peanuts.

preciousoo··on LLM Daydreaming
It’s an absurd statement because you are human and are aware of how research works on an individual level.

Take yourself outside of that, and imagine you invented earth, added an ecosystem, and some humans. Wheels were invented ~6k years ago, and “humans” have existed for ~40-300k years. We can do the same for other technologies. As a group, we are incredibly inefficient, and an outside observer would see our efforts at building societies and failing to be “brute force”

preciousoo··on Colombia seizes first unmanned narco-submarine with Starlink antenna
This is a multi billion dollar ecosystem with no regulators but themselves. Basically state level capacity. Guns are small time for them if they decided to enter the arms market fully. My biggest guess is that the threat of having the biggest military in the world as their neighbor is the only thing stopping them (missiles are much bigger priorities than narcotics)
preciousoo··on Colombia seizes first unmanned narco-submarine with Starlink antenna
You severely underestimate the capability that they possess, both intellectually and materially. The skill(and more critically, engineering environment) that went into manufacturing the boat shows a lot
preciousoo··on Colombia seizes first unmanned narco-submarine with Starlink antenna
They'll probably move onto mass producing weaponry, which, depending on the sophistication and scale, could be big issues for the rest of the world. They already partner with terrorist groups and other unsavory orgs as-is. Any group worth mentioning these days interfaces with the cartels
