Google took over email when they reject legitimate emails sent by small email vendors and at the same time sending this much spam.

Energy density is a real problem.

A new SML runtime with effect based IO (no function colouring).

I am not sure the community frowns on these. In fact I use those in almost every Rust code I write. The point is that i can grep for those because Rust does not do it in a hidden way.

p99.999 user meets p50 users reality. If you don’t like this post on HN close the tab.

When an awful post gets botted to the top of HN and I see it, I will call out the awful post if I so feel like it.

My problem is not the price but the amount of garbage you get. Instead of getting access to a vast amount of mediocre at best content I would like to have access to a small amount of good content. Netflix is just not that.

I have found that the vast supermajority of the content that Netflix provided themselves is wretched to my tastes, so I would just automatically scroll past and mentally blot out anything with that red N.

Unfortunately, it is so omnipresent throughout the application these days that it really does make it obvious how little good content they have - or are willing to let you know they have.

small amount of good content would be terrible for business, right? my wife had bunch of subscriptions (I don’t watch TV :) ) and ones she cancelled (e.g. Disney) was because “they never have anything new to watch, few new shows/movies per year.”

Have you tried omega3? There were some improvements I was reading about.

I have tried everything on just about every list of possible treatments, having been in the fortunate position to have made enough money that I can try things full time and being able to bypass doctors for access to medicine and being able to do my own research.

Holy sweet LLM, this gist is crazy. Why did they do this to themselves? I am going to try this at home, it might actually fix Claude.

Remember Sonnet 3.5 and 3.7? They were happy to throw abstraction on top of abstraction on top of abstraction. Still a lot of people have “do not over-engineer, do not design for the future” and similar stuff in their CLAUDE.md files.

So I think the system prompt just pushes it way too hard to “simple” direction. At least for some people. I was doing a small change in one of my projects today, and I was quite happy with “keep it stupid and hacky” approach there.

And in the other project I am like “NO! WORK A LOT! DO YOUR BEST! BE HAPPY TO WORK HARD!”

So it depends.

Let us know if it does, because we all want it to work :)

> developers should not have free rein to modify my system's configuration

s/free rein/the ability/

I am a big believer in read only operating systems. /etc should not be writable.

How do you configure things without something basically equivalent to writing to /etc?

And whatever you do use to configure things, what if photoshop accessed it directly? I'm sure you'd be upset with that even if it didn't touch /etc.

If something is system wide i want a commit based workflow (with minor exceptions like dhcp / ip)

Everything else should be in its own folder without the ability to change anything outside of that folder.

Well my point is that switching to a commit-based workflow with no runtime changes doesn't solve the problem of adobe setup including a malicious commit.

Isolating things to a specific folder is what actually gives any security here, and you can do that on a writable /etc too.

yes and you need shared read-only global state. like resolv.conf

We get it, you like Nix

NixOS is not a read only OS. There is an impermanence addon that can do this, though, for many partitions.

Nix has some good ideas but it is not exactly what I would love to have.

Same experience here. I was working on some easily testable problem and there was a simple task left. In January I was able to create 90% of the project with Claude, now I cannot make it to pass the last 10% that is just a few enums and some match. Codex was able to do it easily.
