It's not as bad with gemeni and claude in combiniation with skills.

I'm doing Ruby and Gemini 3.0 pro has by far been the best model for me. It writes the nicest ruby code, like I would. Further, it either succeeds or fails hard and obviously. I prefer it failing hard instead of of slowly going weird in my code.

Similar in antigravity. Privately it's my absolute favorite.

So I'm actually rooting for this.

Reminds me of the "Apple has not fixed the macOS audio left/right balance bug for nearly 10 years" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39367460

or "NoTunes is a macOS application that will prevent Apple Music from launching" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40426621

There are so many annoyances allover already. Not Windows 11 level, but noticeably bad.

Ask HN: How to control the sound volume on macOS with a SPDIF Adapter?

It's so much better and worse than Wikipedia at the same time.

It's a soft reminder of that

New comment by faebi in "Tell HN: YouTube gave my username switzerland to a half government organization"

faebi — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 12:14:14 +0000

Interesting https://www.youtube.com/Switzerland is still mine, but my user handle is gone. https://www.youtube.com/@Switzerland goes to swiss tourism but they have the handle @switzerland

Tell HN: YouTube gave my username switzerland to a half government organization

faebi — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 11:50:06 +0000

I had the username @switzerland since 20.03.2006. Swiss tourism had another username since 17.10.2006. Now recently google gave my username away to swiss tourism without any notification. Their other username was fine for literally 20 years.

Worse, the app still showed my username for a long time meanwhile youtube.com/@Switzerland already showed that of swiss tourism (Schweiz Tourismus) and I was not aware of that. Hence, I lost it some months ago.

Why do I tell you? You might loose your username and you aren't even aware of it.

I do feel like LLM's start to match certain personalities and characteristics of users which makes them unattractive to others. I assume we will need a better kind of personalization layer in the future or the ecosystems will start to drift. For example I very much feel like grok fits my thought patters by far the best.

The year is 2025 and Apple still hasn't updated their contacts app since 2010
