Absolute garbage article and garbage website. This content shouldn't be allowed on HN.

Svelte did always have a runtime, they're still doing this from what I understand the major part of Svelte 5 was moving to signals.
written-beyond··on The ChatGPT/Codex app bundles a full copy of LibreOffice
HOW DOES IT WORK FOR YOU PEOPLE?!

Istg on windows, I can't get codex app, new chatgpt or chatgpt classic to work without hanging on even a moderately sized chat. I tried all of the different tricks people recommended but that shit just crawls. It was stable at some point, classic that is, but then it started being a laggy mess.

I've uninstalled new chatgpt/codex app. I can't access phone chats on it, I can't use the desktop allocated chat messages on it. I have to use up codex limits. I am so surprised that OpenAI ships that hot garbage on windows.

written-beyond··on Show HN: Sesame - a local-first, open-source password manager
I don't have an issue with a vibe coded password manager, LLMs are insanely good. The issue, atleast to me, is the UI is extremely low effort LLM slop. I'd have appreciated something native that was super fast.
written-beyond··on We found a division by zero bug in FFmpeg with a vibecoded fuzzer
This is literally the lowest rung of a bug, it's equivalent to finding a nullptr exception. You can literally avoid them with 1 if statement.
written-beyond··on We found a division by zero bug in FFmpeg with a vibecoded fuzzer
But I am being very specific to this use case, where a division by zero bug was found. Why couldn't you have just grepped through the codebase, found all possible divisions and ensured that they had a check on it to never be less than or equal to 0?

The bug I located in SystemD was literally a null ptr exception. All they had to do was perform a null check on a cstring but they hadn't.

I don't see the utility of reporting an LLM made fuzzer finding bugs that could be found by a lint rule or static analysis. I will appreciate a post about an LLM fuzzing software to find unique corner cases, which I predict will happen soon, in ACL controlled systems caused by policy shadowing.

IDK seems like a bug that could've taken a human a few minutes at best to find. I found a bug in SystemD that would crash the daemon because a bad SystemD unit file configuration. That took me like 5 minutes to actually track down in the actual source code.

I understand the utility of this though, I just don't see this particular bug and something that would be particularly difficult o find pre LLM era.

Thank you for this!

I was using Cartesia, while their TTS is amazing their STT pricing has kind of irked me.

Interested in know how good soniox latency and EUD is on STT compared to Cartesia. Cartesia's is really in real world conversations

written-beyond··on Stripe acquires Clerky
My comment was poorly worded, what I meant was they have both lifetime and recurring customers. Their team is insanely good, specially their email support.

Seems like the easiest way to grow Atlas.

Chose Clerky over Atlas, never regretted a thing. I recommended it to everyone, pushing through atleast 3 more founders.

Interesting how HN promoted this post to the front page again with a fake submission time. There are comments two days old, seems weird why they'd want this post specifically to get more traffic.

written-beyond··on Rocketlab acquires Iridium
I can't believe I bought a few shares of IRDM with a few hundred bucks in my trading account. Primarily because it was a RKLB adjacent company with decent fundamentals whos stock price wasn't scraping the sky.

I don't know how to feel about this acquisition though. Never thought IRDM would've been a bad investment.

Googles been quietly chipping away at AOSP for years. There was a point where AOSP was actually decent, google made sure that wasn't the case for long.
written-beyond··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
Because I was suicidal, had extreme mood swings and all of the muscle pain and instability.

I didn't even know about vit D, didn't research it. I just got a panel done to get an idea of what's going on with me and discovered I was severely deficient on vit D
