I did not come to hacker news expecting comedy gold but you have done it my friend!

Woah. I am doing something very similar also using lancedb https://github.com/nicholaspsmith/lance-context

Mine is much more basic than yours and I just started it a couple of weeks ago.

Woah it looks just like my website!

I love your site!

I had the same concept for mine but it is Mac OS X Tiger (iOS on mobile breakpoints).

https://nicksmith.software

My portfolio site which is just a fun project to try to replicate Mac OS X Tiger. (You have to view on desktop or else it displays an iOS view which is way less cool).

Plenty of Easter eggs in there: https://nicksmith.software

Built using react, zustand, tailwind, and some other libraries for the genie effect and Mac hover animation, iOS view, etc… Credits are in the readme on GitHub.

My personal site that is a work in progress: https://nicholaspsmith.com

Built in Angular after having been a full time react engineer for the better part of a decade. Man I’m sick of react haha

Same for me as well. Probably ran out of API token credits when everyone on HN started loading it.

Wow what a coincidence. I just migrated from notion to obsidian today. Looks like I timed it perfectly (or maybe slightly too late?)

You should try Claude opus 4.5 then. I haven’t had that issue. The key is you need to have well defined specs and detailed instructions for each agent.

That’s how it works though. You create a detailed spec up front. That’s the workflow.

I see you haven’t tried BMAD-METHOD or spec-kit yet.

What’s the advantage of using a third party tool? What extra functionality does it have?

The irony is that I have a Claude agent to do exactly this on my projects. You’d think they would have thought of that too.

If setting up a VPN is that difficult for you you may have bigger problems my friend. (I joke). But really I am surprised that a VPN is the part you take issue with.

I’m wary of enabling ssh/remote login. It seems like it could be an attack vector.

Your memory is insanely impressive to remember such an obscure article from so long ago.

> we expected feedback. That way we’d have something to ignore lol

So the solution is to cripple your web experience by disabling interactivity and using a slower, more buggy browser? … how about stop making websites that are hostile to users?

Congrats! And thanks for taking the time to write it

In programming, capitalization does matter. Sorry.

The fact that you hate something doesn’t make it valid.

XNU literally stands for “X is Not Unix”

I can’t tell if this is satire.

Python is really one of the worst designed languages. It always baffles me that people recommend it to beginners.

How much assembly do you manually write?

Programming has always been about levels of abstraction, and the people who see LLM-generated code as “cheating” are the same people who argued that you can’t write good code with a compiler. Luddites, who will time-and-time again be proven wrong by the passage of time.

My thoughts exactly. The $100 Claude subscription is the sweet spot for me. I signed up for the $20 at first and got irritated constantly hitting access limits. Then I bought the $200 subscription but never even hit 1/4 of my allocation. So the $100 would be perfect.

And this is for hobby / portfolio projects.

Maybe for very light work. But on the $20 subscription level I’d hit access limits every 3-4 hours.

The person could have volunteered to write the subtitles themselves or, if they were deaf, to hire someone or even ask someone to volunteer to write subtitles. Or any other number of solutions.

To jump immediately to litigation is aggressive and shows that their true motive was not to actually enable the production of courses with good subtitles.

Protecting users is absolutely in the best interest of developers.

There’s definitely a certain point I reach when using Claude code where I have to make the specifications so specific that it becomes more work than just writing the code myself

Same here. I view the text labels as a more detailed description I can read if I don’t understand the icon at first glance. The icons help with decreasing time spent searching for the option I want. Not having to read every single menu item saves some number of milliseconds which adds up over time and reduces cognitive load.
