2026-09-04 · HN - I never paid too much attention to what happens behind the screens, in the OS software realpolitik realm, but for some reason I kept assuming - incorrectly, it seems - that most people who show a deep appreciation to the open source philosophy are leaning more to the left philosophically (i.e. "let's help people", "let's empower them to make their own society and here are some tools", "let's share stuff", "let's open the industries, ideas, and solutions to everyone" etc.) rather than right. But

22 pts 2026-09-04 · X - why I'm doing this I run a $1M+/month business, and Squad is now the operating layer that makes it possible with a tiny team of humans I've been a paying user of MissionControlHQ since May 2026. the reason I never churned is boring, and it's the whole point: I don't prompt it to get my work done I set up the jobs, they run automatically, I get the output, and most days I don't open it but every ot

2026-09-04 · HN - Tangental, but my LSP config breaks every few months. I don't bother to fix it anymore, I open an LLM in ~/dotfiles and complain until it works again, usually in a few minutes. What's interesting is observing how much work this takes. (it gives me much more empathy toward my past self; how was a clumsy human supposed to know and reason about these things!?, especially when I hadn't touched the configs since a few months prior and had forgotten them almost entirely). Most often there's 10-20 very

2026-09-03 · HN - Hi HN, author here. We've all seen how powerful CLI-based coding tools are. One big reason, I think, is that they let you chain and pipe operations to get things done efficiently. Want to do some crazy analysis on a CSV? One wizardry-looking bash invocation and boom, you got it. That's something we usually can't replicate when we build a web-based, tool-calling ReAct agent for end customers. Sure, we can attach a code execution environment to the agent, but in most cases those are expensive and

2026-09-03 · HN - Ironically it takes away the reason people want to live. Their joy, fun, the spark of life disappears for many people.

2026-08-31 · HN - Is this *really* a good reason to triple datacentre capacity in Europe?

2026-08-31 · HN - I asked ChatGPT, if there are any query parameters and it returned me these: ?q=Hello ?prompt=Hello ?temporary-chat=true ?model=gpt-5 ?hints=search ?hints=reason ?oai-dm=1 Clicking on the link will automatically open a temporary chat, with the prefilled text: "Hello" In the past, the prompt could be sent immediately via: https://chatgpt.com/?temporary-chat=true&q=Hello The parameter "q" only works without "/auth/" in the link, but then "temporary-chat=true" does not work...

2026-08-31 · HN - Claude slop article aside, this act is one reason why some people say Europe is an open air museum, as it'd rather regulate itself to obscurity while its great works are behind it. Where is Mistral, Le Chaton Fat? They're not competitive anymore. Meanwhile China reaches ever forward because they know that speed and endurance is everything in a race, not shooting oneself in the foot.

2026-08-29 · HN - I'd love if the roof and the hood of my plugin hybrid could have solar panels built in. I drive it very rarely and short distance. lf it could be topped up over few days, before next grocery or restaurant trip, I'd be delighted. I know there's not much energy to be gathered but it would suffice me. Instead I have glass roof for no reason, as if there was anything interesting straight up.

26 pts 2026-08-29 · X - If you need $5-$10m in revenue before your margins can "absorb it" you're simply bad at running ads. That's not a reason not to touch them, you practice and get better, Codie 😊 https://t.co/65vJfBPYZD

2026-08-29 · HN - Beef is extremely resource intensive. It’s one of the least efficient to produce foods. So some of this is inflation but some is surely costs going up for that reason. Look at world and US population across that time frame. Supply and demand.

2026-08-29 · HN - I guess we're doing this again. The author of the 404 article that broke this story (about "rare books" being destroyed by AI model companies) was interviewed by NPR. The books, so far as anyone knows, turn out to be manuals for old office equipment or vanity press material. They are indeed rare, but they're rare for the same reason my 11th grade history papers are rare: nobody cares about them. Meanwhile: the book industry destroys books by the millions every week. Destruction is part of the na
