taspeotis··on Horible public key tricks
I am not sure how trillions of computations will occur, simply attempting 0-255 would have found ... all? ... of the eMudhra fuckups. Maybe a few million instructions burnt on a CPU.

I suspect private keys should receive a nominal check, that they can't be guessed by smashing the number 4 on a numpad.
taspeotis··on Ask HN: Do you still enjoy coding in C++?
I enjoy using C++ as “C with classes.”
taspeotis··on Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3
Yes I have similar anecdotal experiences - it gets dumb before a new model. What I imagine in my head is Anthropic using all their GPUs to polish off the next model and they need to borrow GPU cycles so they cut down the thinking.
taspeotis··on Claude Code sends your email address to websites
Is this the thing that started prompting me to approve curls against JIRA because the Authorization header is `my_email@domain:$API_KEY_ENV_VAR`? Why does it not respect --dangerously-skip-permissions?

taspeotis··on GitLab critical patch release
What? More like a golden age of security. AI is ripping the bandaid off right now. At the end of this software is going to be a lot more secure.
taspeotis··on SlopCodeBench 10/2026 – Opus 5.5, Astra wins overall, xhigh considered harmful
It's Opus specific, but personally I'd never bother with Opus above High, CursorBench shows a clear inflection: https://cursor.com/cursorbench

Visual Studio is less shit than ever, but only after JetBrains gave MS a firm kick up the ass with Rider.
taspeotis··on Jeff – Jev-compatible 0.8B decision models, trained at home, ~30 ms
I can’t believe ask.com threw in the towel in 2026. Like ride that LLM hype - how much better could the SEO for ask.com be? Do a pivot!
taspeotis··on Plan mode is dead
Hi, thanks for Claude Code. I use it, and it works well. Have you considered changing it so the text comes down from the top of the screen, in green, like The Matrix?
taspeotis··on Grok 4.7
I just got DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on our Azure Foundry w/ Pi and I found its tone to be refreshing.

Separately have been using Grok 4.6 for a bit and it's also pretty concise.

taspeotis··on Java 27 Released
17 years is a rookie number. Take C# auto-properties, for example: 19 years ago!

Now try asking, "When did Java get auto-properties?"

taspeotis··on Java 27
Sorry I only just set -xXx360NoScopexXx=4G to run that latest version without hitting OOM and you are right, it is indeed quite fast with G1.

taspeotis··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
+1 for Kagi, even if Maps and Shopping and Images aren’t as good as Google (tbh their Images search is good enough 8/10 times) they’ve got the actual web search stuff working quite well.
taspeotis··on O&O ShutUp10 – The antispy tool for Windows 10 and 11
I'm always hesitant to trust these things after one of them turned off CRL checking because external connectivity = bad!!1
taspeotis··on IBM Bob
Not to shit on their effort or anything, but it looks like a VS Code fork + an agent panel which is very ... late 2024 energy?
taspeotis··on Polishing Cloth Updated
It's not shitposting, it's ironic shitposting-adjacent.
taspeotis··on Polishing Cloth Updated
You're missing the meta: upvoting stuff like this is ironic shitposting-adjacent, so people upvote it.
