woah··on Nasdaq plummets 4% into correction territory
By definition it is either at a record high or in a correction, especially with inflation
woah··on OpenSSH 10.6p2 has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability
Cars without seatbelts and airbags chopping off driver's heads in relatively slow collisions? Well guess what, that could happen in a modern car as well if the driver sticks their head out the window while going through a very tight tunnel!
woah··on sshole
If they had just all used a different garbage symbol would this have been avoided?
woah··on OpenAI to acquire Pierre Computer Company
AI bros or not, presumably they have better uptime than Github
woah··on An end to buggy web apps
AI can fix a bug just from a description and logs. I have never seen replication to be an issue. Replication was more important for human bug fixing as you needed to be able to tinker with it.
woah··on Jobless tech workers are being left out of San Francisco's AI boom
If it really takes no skill to prompt Claude, then the execs can just do it themselves. Why have someone do it 12 hours later with a language barrier?
woah··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
Why not?
woah··on Anthropic's internal AI use, at retail prices, now exceeds its employee pay
I was spending thousands of dollars a day in funny money (free promotional tokens from VCs) before switching to a paid subscription for convenience.
woah··on Jobless tech workers are being left out of San Francisco's AI boom
This seems like a complete opposite of what you'd expect. Why hire a team of mediocre overseas workers to prompt Claude (your characterization), then have to talk to them only at weird times of day, and have a 12 hour turnaround on anything? Instead you could have one or two local devs from your social circle, swing by their desk at 9am and they have the feature that Claude built merged by lunch?
woah··on Anthropic's internal AI use, at retail prices, now exceeds its employee pay
They also offer $300,000 in compute spend (allegedly) for $200 a month to anyone who isn't employed by a large corporation so their pricing should be taken with a grain of salt.
woah··on Show HN: A working Nintendo in ~1GB of Qwen weights
This is exactly like if someone implemented a CPU using nothing but CSS animations. Maybe a fun way to teach about turing completeness, but pretty meaningless otherwise.
woah··on Show HN: A working Nintendo in ~1GB of Qwen weights
This is like when people used to make tetris using only CSS or whatever in the 2010s. But it's less impressive because Claude Code can slop it out in an afternoon.
woah··on If IPv4 were land
No literally, the IETF meets 3x a year in a different location each time and all the guys from with cargo shorts from the companies you named argue about IPv6 minutia all day and spend their per diem by night. It's actually a lot of fun.
woah··on Show HN: A proof-of-concept formalization of the IRS federal tax forms
Would this method have turned up inconsistencies in the IRS's own guidance if such inconsistencies existed?
woah··on After 28 years walking across the globe, he's almost home
we haven't even begun to discuss the nagging
woah··on If IPv4 were land
IPv6 has a huge amount of bloat created by guys in cargo shorts and pony tails being flown out to exotic locales 3x a year for IETF conferences to argue about minutia and try to get their name on some IPv6 spec document. All they needed to do was add a couple more dots onto IPv4 and maybe switch to hex.
woah··on Big Tech's thirst for water is sparking a global resistance
Is this guy reviewing his own book?
woah··on Amazon Is Gutting Its AI Division After Sustained Failure
How is that a "signing bonus" and not just a pay cut?
woah··on Hex Raises $100M
Do you think that they raised the money based only on this website?
woah··on A 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working There
Did his actions exceed the authority granted to the executive branch which employed him?
woah··on New 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6
Been on HN for many years now, and the one thing that never changes is people posting angrily about small UI changes. It makes me wonder- if things have only ever gotten worse, what was the peak UI? MS DOS?
woah··on The Mythical Man-Month in the Age of AI
The purpose of software is to be useful to users, not provide a reason for you to get paid a salary to solve puzzles very slowly.
woah··on After automation: Solo founding will be the default
This is only the case for standalone SaaS with no real network effect.
woah··on What on Earth Is Dekton?
Engineered quartz looks like natural stone because it has depth and translucency, and each piece is somewhat unique because it is made by hand sprinkling various powders into a mass that gets pressed and cured. This is also why it sells for as much as natural stone. Porcelain may be physically superior but it does look like "printer paper".
woah··on Neural networks are clean
Newton lost a huge amount of money in the South Seas bubble
woah··on Recursive self-improvement through collective intelligence
This sounds incredibly expensive
woah··on US imposes sanctions on ICC hours after former judge wins Nobel Peace Prize
Although I need to preface this by saying that the Trump administration is one of the stupidest and pettiest in history, the Nobel peace price lost all credibility after it was awarded to Barack Obama for no reason. It seems to be a mechanism for trumpeting the political views of those on the committee.
woah··on Docker Agent
> docker-agent lets you create and run intelligent AI agents that collaborate to solve complex problems — no code required.

How is "no code required" a selling point when we all have agents that can almost instantly puke out all the mostly-correct code you could want?

woah··on AI-assisted proof of optimal packing for 11 squares
For some reason a bunch of the inner blocks weren't rendering for me haha
woah··on The Mathocalypse
Evolution did statistically guided brute forcing. Doesn't mean that biology has no value
