thankfully (for me), this is about the git forge and not the oss calendar and contact synchronization software by the same name

this works great but in my experience sometimes you should add

  && sync

not sure why it's necessary only sometimes!

the title is really underselling it; as the post is very concise, i won't repeat it here but it's worth reading

i have heard about ai companies being fuelled by effective altruist rhetoric ("we must control ai to prevent mass extinction") but was unsure whether to believe it; this seems to slot right into that framing.

this blog post is mostly shadowboxing and showing off their llm-made software; kind of disappointing

offtopic but i find it concerning that github has effectively prevented people from learning how to use git without a forge

fascinating how many people are displeased with the expansion of generics! i love go and this is some functionality i always missed.

it turns out "consumer agency" is ineffective and that people are actually very susceptible to having thoughts beamed into their heads

New comment by ewy1 in "How to build a circular LCD clock"

ewy1 — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 01:53:05 +0000

it's a fun hobby project and thanks for documenting it!

but it's a pre-bought circular screen, raspberry pi and a browser... i could use it to ask google the time, the clock is just a formality.

thinking about it a little harder, i guess the focus is not really the project and more so the watch faces.

crazy second sentence which makes the rest of the comment not make any sense

it worked for uv so i can imagine a competent team can do the same thing for javascript!

the author paid for a robot to write the software while they watched.

it's a bad faith dig at ai-driven development, not the part of the comment that was supposed to be taken seriously, sorry.

giving yourself (or your llm) infinite future work in maintaining all that duplicated kubernetes source code is a bad idea, surely? the author notes they could have compiled the kubernetes to wasm, but doesn't due to... bundle size? i haven't tried, but surely it wouldn't work because all os-level functionality would cause panics.

also the title is false

New comment by ewy1 in "Show HN: Got sick of ads, so I made my own logic puzzle site"

ewy1 — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:22:51 +0000

went to today's puzzle, was assigned an easy symmetrical nonogram. even though that was a disappointing start i was open to doing more, so i opened a hard one and was faced with a nonogram symmetrical on more axes than the easy one.

since a human would know these are bad nonograms, i have to assume this is all llm-generated.

i see you have already addressed similar comments, just sharing my two cents since i usually love puzzles.

great website but i had to sign out of at least three separate newsletters so far - if i wasn't already so disillusioned by modern technology, that would have made me delete my account.

so you want a service that does everything, is around forever, extremely reliable, affordable, and easy to use, and not affiliated with big tech? and you don't want to do anything yourself?

New comment by ewy1 in "/e/OS 4.0 is here"

ewy1 — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 23:37:55 +0000

i have used /e/OS every day for a couple years now but the only thing i ever see change are - third party apps updated - fixed bug in murena subscription only app

i guess nothing about it has to be updated but it feels uncanny that every update is either a dependency bump or financial interest

pretty dystopian to ask a robot to recreate your favorite software just so you can relicense it for your business venture
