> Volunteer at a youth group, sports camp, coding class, whatever. Or just be an "uncle" to some of your friends' kids.

I’d love to have had kids, but ew. That is creepy. When you’re a single man even just beyond 30, trying to be around other’s kids isn’t a good idea in today’s society. Besides, trying to play your part while the kid is in another education schema is inconvenient because any meaningful perspective on life might conflict with the parents’.

If you make plain oatmeal with less water so that it is thick rather than runny, it can be treated like a side dish like mashed potatoes or polenta in a savory meal. It can be a bit odd at first for people who are used to thinking of oatmeal as a sweetened food but it's something one can get accustomed to quickly and avoids the downside of consuming extra sugar.

The pattern in this thread is telling: almost nobody switched away from Copilot because another model got smarter. They switched because another tool let the model actually do things — traverse files, run scripts, understand project structure. The model is commodity, the harness is the product. Which makes you wonder why GitHub, sitting on top of the largest code graph in human history, still ships what is essentially a fancy autocomplete with a chat sidebar. They have the data advantage to build the best agent harness in the world and they are squandering it.

I’ve said before that I don’t think there’s anything missing in Office 2000 for upwards of 90% of users’ word processor/spreadsheet/etc needs, and this is supported by the popularity of the somewhat spartan GSuite apps (Docs is basically WordPad with realtime collab tacked on, not even a full Word 2000 equivalent for example).

Huckabee one week ago:

"Citing the book of Genesis, Carlson asked whether the modern state of Israel had a right to the lands promised in the Bible by God to Abraham, stretching from the Euphrates River to the Nile, covering much of the Middle East. In response, Huckabee said: “It would be fine if they took it all. But I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about here today.”

Show HN: ClaudeTerminal – A tabbed terminal manager for Claude Code
by mr8bit | 2026-03-01 03:39:17+00:00
I've been using Claude Code alot and keep running into the same issues: losing track of which session is doing what, sending Claude off on a task only to discover 30 minutes later it had immediately asked a clarifying question and was sitting there waiting, lack of easy remote access, and just a plethora of worktree issues (worktree off branch, auto-installing dependencies, etc).

So I built ClaudeTerminal — an Electron app that is inspired by Windows Terminal but is purpose-built for Claude Code. It ain't fancy - it feels like Terminal, but it does have:

Tabbed sessions — Run multiple Claude Code instances side by side, each with status icons showing if they're working, idle, or need input

Desktop notifications — Get notified when a background session finishes a task or needs your attention. Click the notification to jump straight to that tab

Remote access — Access your sessions from any device via a temporary Cloudflare tunnel. Check on your agents from your phone

Session persistence — Close the app, reopen it, and every session resumes exactly where it left off

Git worktree integration — Ctrl+W creates a new worktree and opens a Claude session scoped to it (branches from your current branch, not just main!). Worktree names show on the tabs.

Tab auto-naming — Your first prompt gets analyzed by Haiku (via call to claude call terminal) to generate a descriptive tab name (so you see "Auth Bug Fix" instead of "Tab 3")

Repository hooks — Trigger scripts on lifecycle events (e.g., auto-run pnpm install when a worktree is created)

Shell tabs — Mix in PowerShell/WSL tabs alongside your Claude sessions

Keyboard-driven — Ctrl+T for new tab, Ctrl+W for worktree tab, Ctrl+Tab to switch, Ctrl+1-9 to jump, etc.

It's open source (MIT): https://github.com/Mr8BitHK/claude-terminal.

Windows is the primary platform (yup, I don't use a Mac - sorry all!), but I've included experimental macOS/Linux builds.

Would love feedback from other Claude Code users and hope this helps... someone :)

Disclosure: I'm the sole developer. ClaudeTerminal is free and open source (MIT). No paid tier, no telemetry, no sign-up. Image shamelessly AI generated. Tool co-developed with Claude Code.

I envision sysadmins rebooting 10,000 servers, each one asking to verify the op's age, and even better, each time a web server forks off a process. (OK, this is hyperbole, but sometimes you need hyperbole to point out absurdity)

But not to worry. Very large companies "somehow" manage to get exemptions adn carve-outs from California laws that burden most of us. It's the golden rule. Whoever has the gold, rules. (stares at PG&E bill)

Do you remember the disappearing "billionaire tax"?

No idea how this will affect much of FOSS, for example, source code and binary repo's being blocked (I haven't read all the fine print).

Evil in a co-op means something different than evil in a corporation.

The corporation at the end of the day will lean back on profit motive as the core underlying value. This value , to a co-op, isn't inherently evil, but is often evil.

The co-op will happily sacrifice the co-op for the good of the members if push comes to shove. Whereas corporate shareholders constantly vote for things that result in e.g. layoffs, downsizing, restriction of benefits, salary freezes.

I coached a sports team for 6-10 year olds during the summers as a college student and agree that there are some incredible kids who are a joy to mentor and be around.

But probably my biggest concern with having kids of my own is that you can't really choose their personalities. Even the best parents can end up with kids who are frankly much less enjoyable to be around.

I don't know whether I'm "kidding" or not, but I might as well post what immediately came to mind as I read this:

Sandra Bland et al.

ICE detainments

The excess 20k (as far as absolute numbers go) road fatalities in the US versus Iran.

And the excess I-have-no-idea-how-many-k who died under Trump's bungled COVID response (and who are going to die from Biden's bungled rail strike response)(and who died under Obama's failed healthcare half-measure)(and who died under Bush's bungled Katrina response and because of his pre-9/11 mismanagement).

Yes, yes, per-capita and all that. I'm not really making a rational argument here, just appealing to the truthiness of noticing that America has its own way of killing its citizens.

With System 7 or Mac OS 8/8.5/9, if one used it for long enough with a stable software setup you'd eventually get a gut feel for what programs, extension sets, etc were most likely to invite a crash (it wasn't a terrible idea to reboot after a long web browsing session with Netscape for instance). It wasn't surefire, but one could get it into a somewhat stable state. You never stopped hammering ⌘S, though.

Windows 2000 was incredible. Running it after having wrestled with 98SE was like getting teleported from a garbage dump to sunny meadow with a fresh ocean breeze. I've never seen machines transform quite as radically as they did when upgrading from something earlier to 2000.

This is too naive. A lot of voters were eager and happy to vote for hurting other people on the premise that it was somehow going to turn into personal benefit. They are only now upset because it turns out they're being hurt too.

An dpeople have short memories when it comes to this stuff. If the USA somehow manages to survive this and Trump and his allies are peacefully voted out and removed from power, I'd bet $250 that a lot of 2024 Trump voters would still happily vote for a platform consisting mostly of Trump's 2024 platform and Project 2025 plans. They're not learning the lesson that the core policy approach is designed to facilitate our decline into corporate feudalism; they're just learning the lesson that Trump himself and a few other specific individuals are bad, for them, personally. Trump Regret is not going to be enough to save us.

I suppose that people who actively do not want to have kids should not have kids. Their hypothetical kids won't be happy and well-developed, but instead always feel that they are an undesired burden.

Instead, people who like having kids should have more kids. This would proliferate a healthy culture that sees kids as a source of happiness, not a burden of misery taken out of necessity.

> I can't think of any time when bombing the shit out of a country and killing their leader has actually worked.

Japan? Although their leader wasn't killed, but same logic. The more civilized a country is the easier it is to reform them into a good state, and Iran is a pretty civilized and structured nation, the dictatorship is the main issue.

Most people in Iran want a democracy and are capable of running it, you just have to let them. That isn't the case in most of these dictatorships that lacks such structure, but it is there in Iran.

Yes, in testing I did add four fuzzing targets to the repo:

1. fuzz_xml_parse: throws arbitrary bytes at the XML parser in both strict and recovery mode

2. fuzz_html_parse: throws arbitrary bytes at the HTML parser

3. fuzz_xpath: throws arbitrary XPath expressions at the evaluator

4. fuzz_roundtrip: parse → serialize → re-parse, checking that the pipeline never panics

Because this project uses memory safe rust, there isn't really the need to find the memory bugs that were the majority of libxml2's CVEs.

There is a valid point about logic bugs or infinite loops, which I suppose could be present in any software package, and I'm not sure of a way to totally rule out here.

> without a very knowledgeable handler that knows exactly what they want and how to correct errant output...

For now, but I think the problem will become that we will soon start undercutting the bench and the rookie technologists, which in the future will eliminate the “very knowledgeable handlers” or make them exceedingly rare.

I am of the opinion that AI will improve and makes some great leaps for society and then gradually start to enshitify literally everything because we will no longer have people able to second guess the AI and keep it in check.

There are a lot of UI concepts that are foreign to younger developers, simply because they grew up using web apps and smartphones. I think computer science departments need to make a class on human-computer interaction a mandatory part of the curriculum, and those classes need to require students to sit down with and actually use a variety of UIs from two, three, four decades ago. There's a ton of value in being conversant in the basic building blocks and paradigms of multiple UI systems, and in knowing what problems have been solved in the past so we don't keep badly reinventing the same features or failing to learn from the mistakes of the past.

There are a lot of things in older UIs that I think every developer should have hands-on experience with, eg. using nested menus in classic Mac OS; using an MDI application on Windows 9x; using the file browser and dock on NeXTSTEP; using X11 with focus follows mouse; anything with pie menus. Not because those things are necessarily the right choices for today's GUIs, but because there are valuable lessons to be learned from them, and reading an article like this or studying an old HIG document doesn't have the same impact.

> There isn’t one singular “German.” Sure, there’s a standard form in the country Germany, but the language family is more diverse than that.

This is a statement with no implications; "Germanic", in its meaning "related to German", will mean exactly the same thing regardless of which dialect you designate as "German".

Compare how "canids" are the same taxonomical group of animals regardless of which animal within them is called the "canine".

Brought a dozen or so floppies I had to a vintage computer festival last year and handed them off to someone who would archive them.

As I worked in a university computer lab briefly in the late 1980's, I had "captured" a few early Macintosh viruses on a couple of floppies. The recipient of my floppy collection seemed delighted by that, ha ha.

75g 0% Greek Yogurt,
75g Almond Milk,
10g Maple Syrup,
8g ISOpure unflavored protein powder,
8g PBfit powdered peanut butter,
Salt to taste.
Whisk everything else together in one bowl. Pour over 85g of old fashioned oats and stir.

511 calories, 79g carbs, 30g protein, 9g fat. Easy to tune the recipe to macro targets.

I've seen reports of qwen3.5-35b-a3b spending a ton of time reasoning if the context window is nearly empty-- supposedly it reasons less if you provide a long system prompt or some file contents, like if you use it in a coding agent.

Show HN: EmCogni Code, the context engine for the "why" behind your codebase
by ssbodapati | 2026-03-01 03:55:02+00:00
Your agent doesn't know your codebase. It knows the code. Not the decisions behind it.

Why you picked that queue over a direct DB write. Why that module has no external dependencies. Why the retry logic is in the client and not the server. That context lives in your head. The moment the session ends, it's gone.

EmCogni Code fixes this. One Go binary. Local MCP server. You annotate decisions as you make them:

#example 1
emcogni note payments --type decision "Async via queue — direct writes caused timeout spikes under load"

#example 2
emcogni note payments --type invariant "Never call external APIs inline — always enqueue"

Any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) gets that context automatically before touching a file, via get_context tool. EmCogni can also propose context additions via propose_context tool.

Free for local/solo use at emcogni.com.

Team/managed tier coming — shared context across engineers and agents, org-level knowledge base. Waitlist open at the same link.

Curious how others handle this. CLAUDE.md files? Custom RAG? Just re-explaining every session?

> There is no need for determinism to guarantee the job will be done identically every time if we only plan to do it once.

So can't you just save the conversation transcript and replay it with the tools? Seems a lot more efficient that regenerating the whole thing. And, also, no risk of branching when a tool reply is slightly different. (Of course, errors can occur on subsequent runs.)

"We do not think Anthropic should be designated as a supply chain risk"

...but we're not willing to reject a contract to back that up, and so our words will not change anything for Anthropic, or help the collective AI model industry (even ourselves) hold a firm line on ethical use of models in the future.

The fact is if one of the top tier foundation models allows for these uses there's no protection against it for any of them - the only way this works if they hold a line together which unfortunately they're just not going to do. I don't just see OpenAI at fault here, Anthropic is clearly ok with other highly questionable use cases if these are their only red lines. We don't think the technology is ready for fully autonomous killbots, but will work on getting it there is not exactly the ethical stand folks are making their position today out to be.

I found this interview with Dario last night to be particularly revealing - it's good they are drawing a line and they're clearly navigating a very difficult and chaotic high pressure relationship (as is everyone dealing with this admin) but he's pretty open to autonomous weapons, and other "lawful" uses whatever they may be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPTNHrq_4LU

Read the beetle example in that article. It's exactly on point.

You believe Anthropic is a rare subspecies of beetle (an "unsavory" company) based on a certain pattern on its back (certain NDA-related behavior). I and several others here have noted that lots of companies have that pattern on their backs. Which means that you are basing your conclusion on weak evidence. If you use Bayes Theorem to calculate the actual probability, you'll find that "[trying] to hide the existence of secret non-disparagement agreements" barely moves the needle at all. Does it move the needle? Sure. But much less than you think.

Lies.

> In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas." He continued saying "Gaza was on the brink of collapse because they had no resources, they had no money, and the PA refused to give Hamas any money. Bibi saved them. Bibi made a deal with Qatar and they started to move millions and millions of dollars to Gaza."

The answer is in the article: "Everything else is just efficiency"

Another example is a raytracer. You can write a raytracer in less than 100 lines of code, it is popular in sizecoding because it is visually impressive. So why are commercial 3D engines so complex?

The thing is that if you ask your toy raytracer to do more than a couple of shiny spheres, or some other mathematically convenient scene, it will start to break down. Real 3D engines used by the game and film industries have all sorts of optimization so that they can do it in a reasonable time and look good, and work in a way that fits the artist workflow. This is where the million of lines come from.

My comment is about Al-Ahli, not Al-Shifa. Those are two different hospitals.

> Al-Shifa hospital was ultimately destroyed by Israeli forces

It was damaged by a series of battles between Hamas and IDF, because Hamas militants embedded themselves within it - like they embedded themselves within all civilian infrastructure. That is the reality of urban war against a terrorist group.

> with grave civilian casualties

Hamas alleged grave civilian casualties. Israel contests it. Again, just like the Al-Ahli incident, Hamas rushes to publish suspiciously precise casualties and reframes an urban battle as a genocidal massacre; naive newsrooms uncritically publish it; wikipedia editors quotes it; then people with an axe to grind endlessly reference it in online arguments like this one.

With Al-Ahli, we got lucky. Independent evidence made it impossible to ignore that Hamas was lying. In many other cases, it is impossible to independently verify how many civilians were truly killed in this or that battle. You have to either believe the IDF, or Hamas.

> and no Hamas tunnels ever found

Al-Shifa was controlled by Hamas and used as a military facility. Hostages were held there. After the ceasefire, Hamas used it as a jail and torture center for Palestinian dissidents.

Or do you believe Israel sent troops inside a hospital in a warzone, at great risk to their safety, to destroy a random hospital with no military value?
Show HN: I built a free AI study tool– paste notes, get flashcards in 10 seconds

Hey HN,
I built a free AI flashcard generator with no signup and no paywall. Quizlet charges $7.99/month, Revisely caps free users at 3 generations, Knowt keeps moving features behind paywalls. I wanted to build the opposite of that.
https://prepareyourself.app
Paste text or upload a PDF. Pick an output type — flashcards, quiz, summary, or explain-with-examples. Get results in ~10 seconds. Done.
I've been running it for 28 days. Here are the real numbers:

- 180 users. 8 of them engaged deeply. One person hit "review again" 64 times on a single flashcard deck. The other 172 bounced.

- Indian users spend 2x longer than US users (96 sec vs 44 sec). Bengaluru and Ahmedabad are my strongest cities. No idea why.

- Flashcards get 10x the engagement of quizzes. Quiz completions in a month: 1 person. So I made flashcards the default.

- Day 7 retention: 0%. Literally zero. Just shipped spaced repetition reminders — no data yet on whether it helps.

- Revenue: $0.

So the product works for the few who try it. The problem is getting people to try it.

Features: 4 output types (flashcards, quiz, summary, explain-with-examples), PDF upload, TTS audio on every card, spaced repetition, export to PDF/DOCX/JSON, 11 languages. History and streaks stored client-side in IndexedDB — nothing leaves the browser unless you hit generate.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Claude Haiku, Vercel. No auth required — rate limiting via IP + fingerprinting.

Would love feedback on UX, output quality, or whether "free forever, no signup" is a viable positioning against VC-funded competitors who are all moving toward paywalls.

thank you!

I can't understand why denigrating someone as a prostitute or w**e is not called out as inappropriate if not fully misogynist. Its history is deeply, inescapably misogynist, it's anti-sex worker as you say, and it's just tacky. Corruption of morals for money doesn't need to be feminized to make an argument.
