Not a hit piece on AC, rather about how non coordinated a thorough policy change can have adversarial effect.

Also, yes AC is essential, but it is on track to consuming so much electricity that is has to be pushed in the right direction to not become a new problem replacing the old.

The world is heating up, and policies are not helping

New comment by ewidar in "Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?"

ewidar — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:12:48 +0000

In startups with less than 50 people (and I am being generous on the number), everyone talks to everyone all the time, so there is no need for these moments to extract key info to fix/improve situations, identify topics to push, ...

But once the company is just large enough, there is no way you're going to interact with everyone in a meaningful manner (n^2 relationships and all that), and the simplest solution is intermediaries and 1-1s.

[also, being sarcastic is unhelpful.]

Seeing the same on our side, and now no github action is even getting picked up in our repo.

To me this rule is not necessarily something each individual must do on their own, but rather an objective for systems and societies.

In this frame the outcome is more: Companies providing chatbots should not encourage anthropomorphism by giving cute names, making them witty, using human like pictures, ...

It's not about the cyclists wearing ANC headsets (which is already prohibited at least in Euro countries), but about pedestrians wearing them. Another problem altogether.

I think you should just explain that part more clearly: why would they want you to host git repos on their behalf.

New comment by ewidar in "Push events into a running session with channels"

ewidar — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:40:01 +0000

What these 'channels' do is essentially why I was running a nanoclaw at work: triggering a claude code based on events and getting feedback/review/analysis which nicely closes the loop with other agents.

Not sure why it has to be an mcp, but will be trying this out asap.

New comment by ewidar in "Show HN: Mcp2cli – One CLI for every API, 96-99% fewer tokens than native MCP"

ewidar — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 07:54:07 +0000

One thing that I currently find useful on MCPs is granular access control.

Not all services provide good token definition or access control, and often have API Key + CLI combo which can be quite dangerous in some cases.

With an MCP even these bad interfaces can be fixed up on my side.

Do you have a good starting point or explanation to share about using obsidian for a team, where we all change/sync files?

New comment by ewidar in "A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks"

ewidar — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:54:12 +0000

I guess it depends what appeal to you.

As an example finding myself in a similar 80% situation, over the last few months I built

- a personal website with my projects and poems

- an app to rework recipes in a format I like from any source (text, video,...)

- a 3d visual version of a project my nephew did for work

- a gym class finder in my area with filters the websites don't provide

- a football data game

- working on a saas for work so typical saas stuff

I was never that productive on personal projects, so this is great for me.

Also the coding part of these projects was not very appealing to me, only the output, so it fits well with AI using.

In the meanwhile I did Advent of Code as usual for the fun of code. Different objectives.

That's not meaningful, it all depends on what content is shared on the respective platforms.

Sure but the sub question here was about packages.

If you are installing packages, then starting with installing uv should be fine.

Online chess competitions actually spend quite a lot on preventing cheating, and even then it's a common talking point.
