Turn off all the web search and other domains that the index uses. Apple took a really brain dead decision to include web search in the results, and they are the worst. It is completely useless, and even though the recall has expanded, the precision is abysmal.

I hope they've fixed the keyboard auto misspell and the horrible screen time feautures.

My setup is ghostty with herdr and this is so much better than using tmux or anything else. The one issue I have with herdr is its default key bindings are not familiar with anything I’ve used before. But it is easy to make Claude configure this - I found you can bind cmd- sequences n addition to ctrl and alt modifiers. The only thing I’m missing is viewing rendered markdown and mermaid charts as part of the agent outputs.

The Ukraine war accelerated this as US sanctioned Russian assets. Blowing up this system seems like a deliberate decision in part of US and not some accident. Gold prices have been going up as folks are hedging the dollar risk and it is expected to continue.

> When Google offered me the job of Director of Android Platform Security in 2017, it was impossible to refuse. Yes, Trump was already president—my family and I had qualms—but he seemed contained, even ineffective.

Why make this about trump and politics. It’s just a job.

Zuck has not accountability and total veto powers at the board level. If this was some other CEO making so many mistakes starting with the brain dead Metaverse, they would have been either fired or investigated for fraud. At Meta only the low level engineers are held accountable.

Torque band of most engines is not flat like electric motors. So HP is not the only thing that matters for acceleration.

US sales is 25k cars a year. Canada buys around 2-3k per year.

Any “investment” here directly translates to more human activity that will make climate change worse not better. It is hypocritical to have these climate conferences and fly there burning jet fuel. The need of the hour is to drastically reduce the GDP - we need to rewind the clock 50years. But this will never happen because folks will lose jobs and scientists will lose their funding.

The same thing happens with iPhone and car bluetooth. It is super annyoing and many times, a podcast will be playing in the background while the car has FM/radio selected. This is incredibly frustrating and bad user experience. The worst part is it is not clear if this is Apple's fault or some buggy old firmware in the car's audio stack that is at fault (this happens consistently on 2017 Tesla Model S).

I think you need to give them visiblity on how long it will take to review, test and understand how it works and the risks so engineering feels comfortable being on the hook for it.

Legally can this be satisfied by shipping a MagSafe battery pack or is that considered insufficient?

These are all great statistics, but how do you explain ClawdBot explosion. Even in lower income countries like China. So much demand that Apple can’t keep up production of Mac Minis. Why aren’t these folks going towards cloud solutions? Is it cost or is there some consideration for having more control over their data?

All you need to remember is cmd-ctrl-shift-4. Apple chose some terrible defaults here but as you use this your fingers will remember without your brain getting involved. The app fails to mention this obvious built in option.

What happens when you screen share - does those pixels show as active or the kernel cannot read the state of those pixels and the capture has the video memory state?

New comment by innagadadavida in "macOS's Little-Known Command-Line Sandboxing Tool (2025)"

innagadadavida — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 18:14:17 +0000

I went down the sandbox-exec rabbit hole recently trying to get a “safe shell” for poking at random GitHub projects. I eventually realized I was solving the wrong problem.

For development you usually don’t need a kernel policy language - you mostly want: 1. builds not trashing your real $HOME 2. no dotfiles/config pollution 3. some basic separation if a project does something dumb

A much simpler (and more reliable) alternative on macOS is just a dedicated throwaway user account. macOS already isolates home directories, keychains, and app state per-user, so you get a practical sandbox without fighting SBPL quirks or mysterious denials.

My workflow now: I have a user called rsh. I clone and build everything there. My real home directory stays clean. If a project goes crazy, it only damages /Users/rsh

It also avoids the “1000 hidden files in your home folder” problem that a lot of language ecosystems cause.

Minimal setup :

sudo sysadminctl -addUser rsh -password $(LC_ALL=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 Then add this alias to your ~/.zshrc command:

alias rsh='sudo -iu rsh /bin/zsh -l'

After that I just run rsh, clone repos into ~/projects, and build there.

Demo I built 5 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02O2OaNsLIk This exposes ecommerce specific tool calls as regular javascript functions as it is more lightweight than going the MCP route.

It's great they are working on standardizing this so websites don't have to integrate with LLMs. The real opportunity seems to be able to automatically generate the tool calls / MCP schema by inspecting the website offline - I automated this using PLayright MCP.

Show HN: Faaadmv – check and renew CA DMV registration

innagadadavida — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 01:45:31 +0000

Hi HN,

I built a small tool called faaadmv. It is a REPL that helps check and renew California DMV registration. It runs Playwright in headed mode so I can watch the automation and solve any CAPTCHA if needed.

I made this because the CA DMV site feels user hostile. Every year I keep missing my deadline, then I pay hundreds of dollars in fines. I wanted something that is fast, visible, and less frustrating.

Main features: - REPL menu, simple keys - Watch mode on by default - Multi vehicle support - Status check and renewal dry run - Local encrypted config and keychain for payment - Screenshots and debug logs stored locally

Repo: https://github.com/AshKash/faaadmv

I cannot test the real renewal process right now because my cars were renewed recently. I am looking for someone to help test and debug the renewal flow.

I would love feedback on UX and reliability. If you try it and it breaks, please share what happened.
