Square screen is a no from me. I'm overall tired of the Google ecosystem, and I want to replace our Nest Hubs with something else. I was hoping Apple would come out with something large enough for wife and the kids to use when we're not in the tv room. :(

I bought a bunch of UWB boards 2 years ago for a POC with a transit company, that didn't materialise.

I like the tech, and would like to do something with the boards. We only have 1 bin, and as others point out, I could just ask HA if the bin is out on the street on Friday morning (already have cameras around the house).

I've thought of a garage door opener that senses when the car is home. I would still like to do something public though, just not sure what.

I have a transit info app at bus stops, so maybe a bus aware arrival board, but GPS solves that problem better, and the UWB devices would just get stolen anyways.

To show you how strong Stockfish 19 is compared to 18, I used to lose 100% against 18, and I now lose 100% against 19, probably faster. Time to fire up En Croissant and see :)

IDK, that sounds like a solution in search of a problem. What would be different about this than what OpenRouter is currently doing with pricing?

With voice dictation (wispr flow), I find it easier for me to talk naturally as if I'm talking to a friend. I'll sometimes give lengthy notes on context for a project, like why I want to do it, e.g. something for my wife to use.

So I find it common (and fine, I suppose) for Claude to reply using that context. "Let me know what your wife thinks of the app" etc.

And with the Linux Kernel being friendly to both LLM usage and a modern language, for some of us who don't know C, a huge barrier is lifted from being able to write device drivers.

Not a successful anecdote, but I have a Windows Hello compatible Kengsington fingerprint reader, and for some time I wanted to write drivers for Linux. Even without using C, it would have been a huge undertaking only to fail in the end; because Claude did much of the research and concluded that the device wouldn't work on Linux (can't remember why but it made sense). Then it suggested what could work.

I agree with you. When I say they don't want to talk politics, it's more to say that Americans, which I presume makes the most of HN's readership; are embarassed by their political decisions, and would rather censor discussion than accept what the world sees of them and their leaders.

Could you make an HN moment out of the climate, belly fat discussions? You could have at least read the article instead of asking about things not mentioned.

Well, people don't want to talk politics, but will gladly engage in climate conversations and other random things that are affected by politics, because the one thing where people are chosen to lead on popularity than merit is not interesting while it affects us and is currently causing more deaths than anything else (DOGE defunding, 'eradicated' viruses returning, unauthorised wars).

The front page only has so much space anyways, and they can't flag everything forever.

> No one seems to have a solid strategy to win the war in Iran.

> “What do you mean by ‘win’?”

I doubt that the US regime leader and its military leaders know what a win looks like. Given that Trump and the regime have launched terror on countries to distract from their own accountability and to keep corruption at highs; a cynnical non-US reader/observer could say that they're "winning" at manipulating markets and lining their pockets through military corruption. Not mentioning local terrorism via ICE, the weaponising of the justice system, and corrupt lawsuits to shake down opponents and acquisition targets.

I deliberately used "US regime" because why must Iran be labelled a regime when the US isn't?

The days of the US being a powerhouse will end, and we will remember it. Even their media are losing credibility.

I have lengthy conversations with my LLM, almost like an interview. I agree on the expertise part, because I wouldn't be able to go in depth on a subject with it if I lacked the expertise. Some work is a result of design and negotiations in those designs.

I don't think Tao's style works with everyone/thing, especially if we don't know what style he's tuned his LLM on.

1. Our backlog of bugs gets processed quicker because instead of staring at the code for 10 minutes fiuring out what's happening, there's a tool that can reason about it quicker.

2. Code reviews and security reviews happen quicker and produce more findings.

I would think that (m)any team(s) using AI might also be seeing a higher rate of finding and fixing issues.

Even the Linux Kernel (I'd say Windows and Apple too) are seeing the same phenomenon.

I've added the prompt to use the ASD English, on my CLAUDE.md when I learnt of the standard. The generated output is more tolerable to read, and is less confusing.

I like it, and I'll also try the Economist one on another thread here. I have global instructions on how Claude should try to write things like I do.

I generally avoid having lots of skills, security risk as I won't vet them all.

I cancelled my Claude personal sub and still use it at work. I tried Codex out cos 5.6 Sol, and when I gave it a security task; instead of downgrading me, it flat out refused to continue.

That left me curious that there might be a security issue that it found. I'm setting up a sandbox so I can use Kimi to see if there was an issue to be found.
