This happened to me too. Not 'Claude code' as such but I was doing some I guess slightly grey area scraping (of an undocumented public API) and got my IP address blacklisted. I signed up for…

Not sure why people are so negative about this, macbooks only really last a few years under heavy use anyway and most small businesses would love to pay $100/employee/month to make sure they…

yes this is 100% AI, the article and the 'post mortem'. People are so gullible. Anyone who has read a lot of AI can spot it instantly, but Pangram also says 99% of this is AI. So many signs,…

they change the elevators configuration depending on peak hours, or if one of the others is out of order then the express becomes a normal one again.
comment
Not sure how common it is but Bern train station has 3 elevators, usually 2 are set to normal and one to "express" which means all middle floors (mainly parking) are locked and you can only …

Yes the prompt "only output ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English" does the same thing as the skill. But it's very useful and skills is a good way to share promots, so whatever. Try t…

I've been running k3 on a single bigger hetzner dedicated machine to power https://demo.opensuite.online , a work-in-progress open source replacement for Google Workspace, a distributi…

This seems kinda backwards, as far as I know charities and donation schemes are overwhelmed by clothing donations. Our problem isn't that we are destroying clothes that could be used somewhere el…

Loved my oneplus2, the rest were mediocre at best. Went from great value hardware with open, minimalist software to overpriced hardware and shitty bloated software. Great example of how chasing short …

We already have tags for PDF and Video so I could definitely see one for [LLM] working! Generally I'd appreciate a top level comment from the submitter saying this is LLM generated but I read it …

This is a scene in Catch22 IIRC where they decide to stop training the soldiers who need to parachute behind enemy lines because the fatality rate of training was so high that mathematically it made m…

non-english, twitter, and probably LLM-generated, and still on the front page. So either people really care about this issue or it's artificial as usually any one of those is enough to get ignore…

something similar actually really annoys me on linkedin mobile, I'm left handed and often accidentally like posts if I scroll my feed as the like button is very close to where I naturally touch …

Yeah all claude models are doing this now. I also had a flow where it would enter username and password for demo server that are literally displayed on the page for any human to login. A couple of wee…

Nvidia is already selling exactly this I think, not sure when it's expected to ship

I have huge respect for Armin but all of the concerns about agents producing more code with less competent supervision from senior engineers doesn't seem that different from the status quo to me.…

Some interesting stuff with a lot of LLM tells (part that actually matters, quietly, etc) which makes me skim instead of read. Llm content can be good, but if I can't tell if it's slop or no…
