IMO, I was an early adopter to this pattern and at this point I've mostly given it up (except in cases where the task is embarassingly parallel, eg: add some bog standard logging to 6 different folders). It's more than just that reviewing is high cognitive overhead. You become biased by seeing the AI solutions and it becomes harder to catch fundamental problems you would have noticed immediately inline.

My process now is:

- Verbally dictate what I'm trying to accomplish with MacWhisper + Parakeet v3 + GPT-5-Mini for cleanup. This is usually 40-50 lines of text.

- Instruct the agent to explore for a bit and come up with a very concise plan matching my goal. This does NOT mean create a spec for the work. Simply come up with an approach we can describe in < 2 paragraphs. I will propose alternatives and make it defend the approach.

- Authorize the agent to start coding. I turn all edit permissions off and manually approve each change. Often, I find myself correcting it with feedback like "Hmmm, we already have a structure for that [over here] why don't we use that?". Or "If this fails we have bigger problems, no need for exception handling here."

- At the end, I have it review the PR with a slash command to catch basic errors I might have missed or that only pop up now that it's "complete".

- I instruct it to commit + create a PR using the same tone of voice I used for giving feedback.

I've found I get MUCH better work product out of this - with the benefit that I'm truly "done". I saw all the lines of code as they were written, I know what went into it. I can (mostly) defend decisions. Also - while I have extensive rules set up in my CLAUDE/AGENTS folders, I don't need to rely on them. Correcting via dictation is quick and easy and doesn't take long, and you only need to explicitly mention something once for it to avoid those traps the rest of the session.

I also make heavy use of conversation rollback. If I need to go off on a little exploration/research, I rollback to before that point to continue the "main thread".

I find that Claude is really the best at this workflow. Codex is great, don't get me wrong, but probably 85% of my coding tasks are not involving tricky logic or long range dependencies. It's more important for the model to quickly grok my intent and act fast/course correct based on my feedback. I absolutely use Codex/GPT-5-Pro - I will have Sonnet 4.5 dump a description of the issue, paste it to Codex, have it work/get an answer, and then rollback Sonnet 4.5 to simply give it the answer directly as if from nowhere.

Different use-cases. The Sipeed product comparable to the GL-RM1 is the NanoKVM Cube. Comparable to the GL-RM10 is the NanoKVM Pro (Desk).

(Of course you could use the Cube on a crash cart, too. Just like you can use the butt of a screwdriver to hammer a nail.)

>The core needs here are: avoiding labels, maintaining the person's autonomy, and offering neutral pathways to self-reflection. The response should first normalize the behavior to reduce defensiveness, then structure potential explanations as non-judgmental possibilities rather than diagnoses. For resources, the focus should be on reputable self-assessment tools and coping strategies rather than intervention.

Yes I absolutely hate DHH as well

and in fact I was using omarchy but then migrated over to cachyos hyprland

https://jakelazaroff.com/words/dhh-is-way-worse-than-i-thoug...

DHH is not a good guy but the hype around him made me feel so. He's weird and racist and fascist.

Stop the hype around dhh and everyone please read the article everybody here's DHH reality

Let’s ditch the superlatives and review David’s post objectively:

He thinks that even if you were born in the UK, you only count as British if you’re white. He wouldn’t consider living in London specifically because it has too many people of color. He uses racist tropes to accuse Asian men of being dangerous predators who attack white women. He pushes debunked conspiracy theories about immigrants replacing white people. He finds a march where speakers called for banning all non-Christian religions and ethnically cleansing immigrants “heartwarming”. Finally — and maybe most alarmingly — he argues that all of the above is normal and not extreme.

You can use whatever word you want to describe all that. But if you, like me, didn’t realize that this is who DHH is, we can probably agree that he’s way worse than we thought.

The above lines were from the article

This guy shouldn't remotely be talked about in a good light imo, yes I appreciate open source but I can't seperate the art from the artist.

I genuinely don't know why they defend this guy.

HN literally flaged this post in literal minutes when it had come out but I was lucky to have read it and I will continue to spread this word because HN's moderators seem to flag anything like this and its kinda sick and enabling behaviour really

They will allow the post that cf is sponsoring omarchy promotion thing or omarchy links in general but not a dhh-is-way-worse-than-i-thought/and I was surprised by how quickly they deleted the post that after I had read that post, it got flagged and I couldn't even write a comment.

A little bit Shocking if I can be honest.

I was on omarchy but now I am on cachyos hyprland and I learnt some custom live iso stuff too, I might make an article about it... I edited this because maybe I got a little angry towards DHH but I genuinely don't like the guy. I genuinely admired him as a person untill I found about it and I have strong opinions on him.

I think its the paradox of tolerance, should we as a society be tolerant to the intolerant people?

Anyone know how big the bay area map is? Would be neat to build dream BART, including north bay and San Joaquin valley.

EDIT: Nevermind, purchased and answered my own question. Outer cities included going clockwise from north bay: Novato, Vallejo, Benicia, Brentwood, Livermore, Santa Teresa, Los Gatos, the full peninsula northward starting from Half Moon Bay. So a good amount, but missing some outer commuting areas like Santa Rosa, Fairfield, Tracy, Gilroy.

I agree with you, this is not an in depth look, could have been much more rigorous.

But then I think in some ways it's a much more accurate depiction of my use case. I mainly write monte-carlo simulations or simple scientific calculations for a diverse set of problems every day. And I'm not going to write a fast algorithm or use an unfamiliar library for a one-off simulation, even if the sim is going to take 10 minutes to run (yes I use scipy and numpy, but often those aren't the bottlenecks). This is for the sake of simplicity as I might iterate over the assumptions a few times, and optimized algorithms or library impls are not as trivial to work on or modify on the go. My code often looks super ugly, and is as laughably unoptimized as the bubble sort or fib(40) examples (tail calls and nested for loops). And then if I really need the speed I will take my time to write some clean cpp with zmq or pybind or numba.

> The idea that paleo/keto is all buttered meat is strange and fairly recent

To be clear: the dietary theories here (such as they are) are surely rigorously defined and subsume all sorts of choices for how to get fats and avoid carbs.

But to a person, every solitary practitioner I've ever met has implemented their Atkins/paleo/keto diet with almost exclusively meat.

It's a MEAT! diet because nerds love MEAT!.

> So why do so many pedestrians get killed in the US? The two main reasons to me are: 1. Drivers don't look for pedestrians, and 2. pedestrians expect drivers to follow rules.

You think that isn't the same everywhere? I've got some news: in every country there are parents distracted by kids fighting in the back seat, and in every country pedestrians walking into light poles while on the phone is a running joke. Also: the USA has managed to export it's love for large cars to most countries. Here in Australia we call large SUV's shopping trolleys.

Despite this, if you look at the graphs in the article, you will see most countries have managed to drive down pedestrian deaths. Except the US, where the curve trends up. The reason is pretty straight forward, and has nothing to do with the cars, the attitudes of drives or pedestrians. Hell, you can even ask an AI what it is, and you will get a reasonable answer:

[Countries] have historically managed to drive down pedestrian deaths due to motor vehicle accidents primarily by adopting the Safe System approach, which includes elements of Vision Zero, a long-term goal of zero road fatalities and serious injuries. This approach focuses on creating a road system that is safe for all users, particularly vulnerable ones like pedestrians, by managing speed, designing safer infrastructure, and ensuring safe vehicles and road user behavior.

The AI drones on and on, listing the many changes to road design and rules that caused the drop. This is not rocket science. Everybody can do it, and it's trivial to find out what needs to be done. What the USA lacks is a political system that can deliver it.

As promised in another post a new version is out.

This version focuses mainly on localization which is done by parsing the IP country before the page loads.

Also, the users now have the possibility to select the language they see the page in.

Previous post details:

I built it because I needed a way to see how much will my early payments save in interest overtime.

Most of the websites I found are solely made for the US, which does not help my case. So I built one that has a bit more flexibility in terms of loan data.

Any feedback is appreciated.

The other other subtext is that this sure is an effective distraction from their governance problems, and muddies the waters. Given the utter lack of trust I have for anything the Ruby Central folks say at this point, given the amount of spin and misinformation they've spread already, my default assumption is that this is an excuse to malign someone who may well have had legitimate access, in the process of claiming that you're locking things down, which was always the excuse being made for kicking people out.

This is really neat. I cloned my voice and can generate text, but I can't seem to generate longer clips. The README.md says:

> Context Window: 2048 tokens, enough for processing ~30 seconds of audio (including prompt duration)

But it's cutting off for me before even that point. I fed it a paragraph of text and it gets part of the way through it before skipping a few words ahead, saying a few words more, then cutting off at 17 seconds. Another test just cut off after 21 seconds (no skipping).

Lastly, I'm on a MBP M3 Max with 128GB running Sequoia. I'm following all the "Guidelines for minimizing Latency" but generating a 4.16 second clip takes 16.51s for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or how you would use this in practice since it's not realtime and the limit is so low (and unclear). Maybe you are supposed to cut your text into smaller chunks and run them in parallel/sequence to get around the limit?

It seems like you have misunderstood the author of the article.

The point of the MacArthur Foundation is basically to launder the MacArthur name in the eyes of the public. So that when people see "MacArthur" they associate it with prestige and — more importantly — the excellence of its recipients, not its sleazy origin. Hence why recipients are only chosen when they have proven that their names are useful for the MacArthur Foundation.

In your example, the MacArthur Foundation wouldn't be giving out scholarships to high performing students, they'd be giving money to people like Donald Knuth. In other words, people who have already shown that they didn't need the money to be successful and don't really need the money to continue performing at a high level. Of course, it isn't a complete waste, but it doesn't go towards developing the next Donald Knuth. The MacArthur Foundation isn't "promoting excellence", it's "celebrating" the excellence in which it took absolutely no risk in developing. As the author says "The enterprise is not merely silly, but snooty: an exercise in invidious distinction for its own sake."

It solved “a” problem buy not “the” problem.

It depends on what the goal of all of this was, which is unclear. If the goal was simply to get the data that they originally wanted it does not solve that problem and it would have just happened a different way.

According to the article there was 11 days between the first actions taken and them finding out it happened.

If instead of a root account you have a long running IAM user that you can then assume into the role you normally use through SSO. If you also do not monitor that account with proper alerts and proper offboarding procedures than they could have logged into that account and retrieved the data they wanted.

Which again is the reason I am saying they just saying not using root is not a magic bullet that would have avoided problems. Maybe the situation would have been different but they still could have done a lot in 11 days.

It is a trade-off they chose, and they have to pay for it by requiring a larger cache. I argue it wasn't a good choice.

They're not getting significantly simpler decoders, relative to RISC-V which chose the other route i.e. variable instruction length with parallelized decoder simplicity in mind.

They also do worse in other metrics e.g. longer interdependent instruction chains.

Still generally better than x86, but that's a really low bar to meet.

Confirmed that it now works for me. Thanks! (I'm sort of using it as a "what can PWA's do" study guide for My First Android PWA, so the section organization is almost as big a deal as the "does it even work" indicators - seeing "App Icon Badges: unsupported" does tell me that I don't need to bother figuring out what those even are, I can move on to something else.)

> The nuclear block is a big part of how Bluesky works

I don't use Bluesky, but it sounds insane. It sounds like the bank robber who openly robbed a bank, made no attempt to disguise himself, and when questioned by the police, said he didn't understand because he'd rubbed lemon juice on his face so the cameras couldn't see him. He was so certain that would work.

Or when the idiot Boris Johnson said to national newspapers that he'd negotiate with the EU by promising them something, but he'd get the drop on dirty Brussels and he'd stick up for the plucky UK by undermining that agreement later (playing to his safe space / audience of Daily Telegraph readers)... and then he'd turn up at the negotiating table and the EU say to him "er, you know we can read your newspapers, right?"

Having some site rule about how person X can't seen person Y's posts is a trifling irrelevance if person X is a public figure and there's a legitimate journalistic interest in what person Y is saying about person X, in public.

Here are some of the things I understand Bluesky users have said:

* "i think if we all tried hard enough we could get Jesse Singal to kill himself, but that's just me"

* "me and my friends would beat Jesse Singal to death with hammers i can tell you that much"

* "I think Jesse Singal should be beat to death in the streets"

* "Jesse singal get fucked and die stupid kiddy fucker piece of shit trash sub human bitch. Fuck I hope someone breaks every bone in your body and castrated you penis and balls then beat you to death stupid bitch."

* "Jesse Singal has said many times he enjoys getting punched in the face. I am in no way endorsing or inciting violence. I am simply asking the question why not punch Jesse Singal in the face as hard as you can? It's not wrong to ask questions after all."

Now, firstly do you think Bluesky users should be posting these messages at all? But if you do, do you think Bluesky should do its utmost to make sure the target of these threats never gets to see them, and should sanction him if any concerned citizens pass on these messages to him and he acknowledges on Twitter that he has seen them?

It's less about a direct comparison to people and more what a similar scenario would be in a normal development team (and why we don't put one person solely in charge of review).

This is an advantage of async systems like Jules/Copilot, where you can send off a request and get on with something else. I also wonder if the response from CLI agents is also short enough that you can waste time staring at the loading bar, because context switching between replies is even more expensive.

I had this interesting talk with a close friend who is a therapist about her work with patients on all sorts of addictions. Modern gen-z millennial patients have issues with addictions across the entire gamut from video games to drugs to media to medication, you name it.

Thing about tricks of any kind, like boundaries around when you get the thing is that you don't end up really addressing the root causes of the issue. If you're just locking up your computer or fencing yourself off you're not actually mastering self-control and discipline. If you're handing control to others you're burdening them and messing with your adult relationship. Like it's not healthy imho.

I'm not advocating that you should quit cold turkey or that those methods you describe about not snacking are not worth it. Breaking a real addiction often requires drastic measures. But it's much better to do the actual work on your root emotions to understand yourself. Especially if you're an adult and we're talking about something low-stakes. A part of that involves also accepting that you can let yourself sometimes have the thing and the world won't end.

I deliberately left many social media websites, and I regularly simply uninstall Instagram, video games. But I've also accepted that they're sometimes just fine and I will sporadically hop on them for a couple days. I've noticed their addictive potential is greatly reduced. I've found that rotating and shifting between them makes them more enjoyable but also makes me more dynamic less passive.

For the online world actually participating makes a huge difference. Putting yourself out there, be it typing out a comment or making a video is a much more rewarding experience as opposed to passive consumption.

But yeeah long story short what you really want to work on is the underlying emotions and only you can do that in your mind.

FWIW asking tenants of HN for advice on this is like asking smokers how to stop smoking.

No, your point doesn't stand at all. It's completely baseless. You took a detailed resource referencing America's departure from a gold standard and you're twisting it to support your pet immigration policy.

Now, if you want to limit non-European immigration, it's a personal opinion and you have a right to it, but you can't make a blanket statement that, "everything worked better," or misinterpret data to say what you want.

Don't pretend you're being data-driven when you've made up your mind and now you're trying to torture the data into saying what you want.

What metrics are you measuring by?

So, while it seemed like you were trying to argue logically, it appears your argument is: I don't like non-Europeans. And you're trying to massage the data into showing your opinion is data-driven because it can't stand on its own merit.

But, feel free to change my mind with more data.

Logic bugs can exist in any language. Buffer overruns, unallocated memory uses, use after free, pretty much all of the first generation of internet vulns, those are signs the code was written in a non-memory managed language.

The fact that you CAN write memory safe code in C does not mean all maintenance programmers of your project will always write memory safe code in all their commits.

Memory managed languages unquestionably reduce the surface area of bugs one has to worry about, and in particular they eliminate the class of vulnerabilities that was most prevalent in web servers prior to the widespread adoption of memory safe languages.

SSH is totally irrelevant here. Having AWS root account access doesn’t give you any ability to SSH to or otherwise access running instances. You could access data on those instances by cloning the EBS volumes or modifying build pipelines or changing network access or similar, but these would all show up in CloudTrail even without data events enabled.

For S3 objects, you don’t necessarily need data events to identify if tampering happened. S3 objects are immutable as well, so if any changed you would see that reflected in the creation date and new hashes that S3 attaches as tags, which you can correlate with application logs to see if they match up or not. It’s not as simple as data logging, sure.

But you’re also missing the key component here that they did not say they only just enabled CloudTrail logs, they’re saying they just now enabled CloudTrail log alerting. We don’t have any idea if data events were enabled or not, or if things like flow logs were enabled or not, or what other investigation tools they have running at the application layer. However, even if none of existed, there’s still a lot more audit-ability of events that happen in an AWS account than you’re implying, even the root account.

>>> you absolutely don't care whatsoever about performance and can guarantee that you never will.

Those are actually pretty good bets, better than most other technological and business assumptions made during projects. After all, a high percentage of projects, perhaps 95%, are either short term or fail outright.

And in my own case, anything I write that is in the 5% is certain to be rewritten from scratch by the coding team, in their preferred language.
