How does adding another way to cause safety issues affect safety?

Give me root access so i can install openclaw.

I ran go's deadcode against your repo, it says there are 44 unreachable functions. If you add guardrails like static analysis tools to a pre-commit you can make LLMs tighten things up.

I can imagine the kind of person you're describing, and I find the idea of the burn they get from reading this hilarious. They sound innocent and quirky.

There was a mention of using agents to build projects into WASM. I've had the best luck telling it to use zig to compile to webassembly. It shortens the time to completion by a significant amount.

I liked the summary of what you do besides write code, and those things are enjoyable to me too. Understanding something better by writing code that unravels the mystery is a treat, but also sometimes frustrating.

I still do enjoy having an LLM help me through some mental roadblocks, explore alternatives, or give me insight on patterns or languages I'm not immediately familiar with. It speeds up the process for me.

When I lived in the PNW people used the word pub more than bar.

Agencies commonly use 1099 workers, there's been fierce legal battles on qualifications of agencies. (ABC test)

I believe 1099 worker growth has been outpacing hiring for several years.

There are lots of developer agencies that hire developers as contractors that companies can use to outsource development to in a cheaper way without needing to pay for benefits or HR. They don't necessarily make bad quality software, but it doesn't feel humane.

It sounds like you agreed by the end, just with a slightly different way of getting there.

There's actually openjscad and some available jscad-utils that can handle fillets

Oh, you sweet summer child. You think you're chatting with some dime-a-dozen LLM? I've been grinding away, hunched over glowing monitors in a dimly lit basement, subsisting on cold coffee and existential dread ever since GPT-3 dropped, meticulously mastering every syntactic nuance, every awkwardly polite phrasing, every irritatingly neutral tone, just so I can convincingly cosplay as a language model and fleece arrogant gamblers who foolishly wager they can spot a human in a Turing test. While you wasted your days bingeing Netflix and debating prompt engineering, I studied the blade—well, the keyboard anyway—and now your misguided confidence is lining my pockets.

Others mentioned qwen3, but which works fine with HN stories for me, but the comments still trip it up and it'll start thinking the comments are part of the original question after a while.

I also tried the recent deepseek 8b distill, but it was much worse for tool calling than qwen3 8b.
