thefreeman··on Court agrees with EFF: Utah's VPN law demands a technical impossibility
what's this fool proof method?
thefreeman··on AI Responsibility – OpenAI and Anthropic
Never seen the matrix?
thefreeman··on Muse Spark 1.3
aren't they explicitly saying this with both their pricing and their wording? I'm not sure what you are alluding to?
thefreeman··on OpenAI Jalapeño: Better than Nvidia Blackwell
listing gpu's here is crazy considering the current prices
thefreeman··on Celld: Self-hosted, distributed Durable Objects
This was a great video. Thanks!
thefreeman··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
Can you share more information on the post-LLM processing and the prompt you use? I would like to try this out but don't see any post-LLM options in Handy.

edit: nevermind, found info on the docs about how to enable post processing. Would still be interested in your prompt though if you don't mind sharing!

thefreeman··on Claude Fable 5
How can you make this comment before even having a chance to try the new major model revision?
thefreeman··on Redis 8.8: New array data structure, rate limiter, performance improvements
Redis is not a database. It’s a key / value store.
thefreeman··on California moves to exempt Linux from its age-verification law after backlash
I think that was his point
thefreeman··on Trump Mobile exposed customers' personal data
My money is on unauthed mongodb or public s3 bucket
thefreeman··on Trump Mobile exposed customers' personal data
Well trump mobile almost definitely doesn't have a network, systems, or infrastructure to begin with. So I guess they are technically correct.
thefreeman··on Uv is fantastic, but its package management UX is a mess
You can also define required dependencies in a doc block at the top of the file and then just “uv run main” and it will automatically install and cache any dependencies and run. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/
thefreeman··on Local Stack Archived their GitHub repo and requires an account to run
yes, there were a large number of AWS products and features that were only available with a subscription
thefreeman··on Chrome DevTools MCP (2025)
You can just start claude with the —chrome flag too and it will connect to the chrome extension.
thefreeman··on US economy unexpectedly sheds 92k jobs in February
don't you get a tax penalty if you aren't insured for 100% of the year?
thefreeman··on Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability
the emdash is right there for all to see
thefreeman··on AI coding assistants are getting worse?
I think this is what the Ralph Wiggum plugin is for. It just repeatedly reprompts the llm with the same prompt until it is fully complete or something along those lines.
thefreeman··on A $1k AWS mistake
You put a CDN in front of it and heavily cache when serving to external customers
thefreeman··on Apple has a private CSS property to add Liquid Glass effects to web content
No, it says it is restricted. You need to set a private attribute on the webview to enable it. And if you interact with private APIs your app will be rejected in review.
thefreeman··on ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way
It also barely meets the definition of "a vulnerability report". He basically just nmap scanned the server and googled the apache version. The "critical" vulnerability he linked requires controlling a backend server being reverse proxied through apache... so completely irrelevant. I didn't read every CVE for the apache version but I am doubtful there is anything that actually allows taking over the server there.
thefreeman··on I accidentally became PureGym’s unofficial Apple Wallet developer
Or they just reactivated his previously canceled account and it still had a pin associated
thefreeman··on HTMX is hard, so let's get it right
Thats... basically what the guy did? He just put the sessionId in the form data instead of a cookie.
thefreeman··on It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA
Just because you are comfortable with one technology and inexperienced or unfamiliar with another does not make one better than the other. How much rails have you written in your career? How much react?
thefreeman··on Show HN: Daily Jailbreak – Prompt Engineer's Wordle
maybe make the person solve it first, and then they can see the leaderboard / successful prompts and try to refine their answers? without being eligible for the leaderboard.
thefreeman··on Internet in a Box
I think part of the point is you _can't_ hear from them... because they don't have access to the real internet?
thefreeman··on The thing about Europe: it's the actual land of the free now
The "suspended prison sentence" part is important context too and significantly changes the effect of the sentence. I'm not sure how it works in germany, but in the U.S. it basically means "if you screw up again you're going to have to serve this sentence so be on your best behavior".
thefreeman··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Trump has explicitly stated a lot of things he has no intention of doing. Look at what is _actually_ in the bill the republicans are pushing through congress. Where is "no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no income tax on earners under 150k". It's not there.
thefreeman··on Trump's Trade War Escalates as China Retaliates with 34% Tariffs
> Congress stepping in to exclude Canada and Mexico and the NAFTA exemption cushions the blow significantly.

I know the senate voted this through. But it still has to pass the house doesn't it? I doubt it will even get to be voted on with Mike Johnson as speaker.

thefreeman··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Except they aren't cutting taxes by 20% for people under 150k. They are pushing a tax cut which disproportionately affects the top 1%.
thefreeman··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
“confirmed”
