someguyiguess··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra will be in Codex
I reject the premise that using LLMs absolutely leads to loss of institutional knowledge. It is trivial for an LLM to generate a knowledge base of any kind in any language which can answer any question about your institution at any time. How is a bunch of fragmented humans with limited knowledge who can’t all communicate with each other better than that?
someguyiguess··on Tidal AI Policy
There's a human behind AI-generated music too. A human writes the prompts. Your distinction seems rather arbitrary.
someguyiguess··on Tidal AI Policy
I learned music production by first learning how to produce house. Because of this, I can confidently say that house is not music. You literally just copy/paste over and over. Just because a human makes something, doesn't make it good or "music" necessarily.
someguyiguess··on Deno 2.9
Agreed. Bun is awesome! I see no reason to switch to deno.
someguyiguess··on Deno 2.9
To be fair, you can't blame a person for thinking that a runtime created by the same guy who created Node would work with Node.
someguyiguess··on Deno 2.9
> what's the point of Deno?

To demonstrate how amazing bun is in comparison.

You're getting downvoted because "AI bad" but this is actually a good idea.
someguyiguess··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
This matches my experience as well. I see no lack of work to be done without necessitating additional features.
someguyiguess··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
The calculator in Windows 11 still takes several seconds to load for me.
someguyiguess··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
Yes. That point in time was long before AI. Remember Longhorn/Vista? Windows ME? Etc, etc…
someguyiguess··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
No we still do that in web dev. This one was just a classic example of design by committee. Classic microslop

And when your keychain gets lost then what?
someguyiguess··on UK set to announce social media ban for under-16s
Doesn’t that prove their point?
someguyiguess··on UK set to announce social media ban for under-16s
Not sure how closely you follow US news, but a majority of Americans feel that the current US administration is not all that concerned with the constitution, so that not really a blocker.

But so has trust in government (for very good reasons). And those same unscrupulous governments are heavily influenced by the very same tech companies people are suspicious of.

Couldn't agree more.

someguyiguess··on macOS Container Machines
Why would you work on embedded development through a VM? Out of curiosity.
someguyiguess··on Claude Fable 5
Serious question: what is the secret to getting Codex to write decent code? I am on Windows. Maybe that is the issue, but I can't seem to get Codex to function anywhere near the level that I was previously able to get with even Claude Sonnet. Does Codex just not work well with Windows yet?
someguyiguess··on Claude Fable 5
I've had the exact opposite experience. For various reasons, I've had to move from Claude to Codex and the rate at which it burns tokens for the same output I would get from Claude is ridiculous. I'm probably burning tokens at a rate that is at least twice as much as I was when using Opus 4.5 for coding tasks and still finding that just manually coding is easier than trying to get Codex to write functional code.
someguyiguess··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
Fair point
someguyiguess··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
That seems incredibly subjective. For people with carpal tunnel like myself, having to do everything on the keyboard can be very painful. The mouse alleviates that and gives visual feedback.

someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
It works great with a nice stremio setup for live streaming. No subscriptions necessary anymore.
someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
Yup. That’s your issue. Disney+ outputting Dolby 5.1 and your speakers are stereo.
someguyiguess··on The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid
Are you trying to listen in Dolby surround on a stereo setup? Disney+ defaults to surround sound and you’ll lose some audio channels if your speakers are stereo
someguyiguess··on Ruby for Good
Actually looking at it on mobile I see a few issues. Scroll on mobile interferes with the slider. Also some of the font sizes are too large and overflow. Is the source repository public? Or was the request for a PR hyperbole?

Edit: I see it was posted a few comments up.

someguyiguess··on Ruby for Good
Honestly Claude is not great at front end design. So it’s more than an “off chance”. That being said I think the site looks fine.

Simpsons did it!
someguyiguess··on Show HN: Audiomass – a free, open-source multitrack audio editor for the web
Yes. I’ve wanted something like this for a while. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t version control for DAWs. So many times I’ve spent hours editing a track and accidentally saved it without specifying a unique file name. Only to open it later and wish I could go back to before the changes that fucked it up.
