Mostly just if you're poor and not well connected. Affluent rapists often just get a slap on the wrist at best. Some of them even become President of the country.
This is one of the things I really like about driving a minivan. Excellent visibility compared to just about any other vehicle, including sedans. A combination of higher sitting position with larger windows and sloping hood really opens up sight lines. My son has a Mazda 2 and I hate driving that thing. Feels like the columns and ride height really kills visibility.
100%. I have a Mazda cx-5. Visibility sucks looking left & right because the A frame is so thick.
My thought: demand a certain level of visibility from car manufacturers, and they can figure out how to design around it. Like, I must be able to look left and see the pedestrian 3 feet away from walking into my car. Blind spots like that in the front are ridiculous
Training has also evolved drastically over time at the highest end of athletics. Periodization, nutrition, recovery and the size of the talent pool being scouted are all occurring alongside the advances in materials and equipment. It would be difficult to separate them effectively.
I use CC for a lot of things outside of generating code. One of my CC contexts is for converting recipes to dairy/gluten free by recommending dish appropriate replacements. It very clearly has a huge influence on it to the point where I really don't understand how the counterpoint could even be argued.
Don't make the mistake of thinking CI/CD is more complicated than it is. It's just automated compilation & testing plus automated deployment. The jargon can be overwhelming. You can do this with forgejo actions. I'm also using self-hosted forgejo and I generated a token for CC to use to manage and setup everything for me.
When code is checked in, it tries to compile it to make sure there are no fundamental issues building the software. This, importantly, happens on not your computer. This helps protect against "it works on my machine" but fails for someone else. If you've got tests, and you should have tests, it will run them for you to make sure those complete as well. If both of those pass, it reaches the CD portion of the process and typically just zips up the working build and does whatever is needed for a deployment in your environment automatically. There are tons of other things you could do as well, like run a linting tool to make sure the code is all formatted consistently across the project or run security checks to make sure passwords or .env files aren't included by accident. But the core concept is build the project, test the project (with various different tools), if it passes deploy the project to some environment where you can see the changes. This drastically cuts down the feedback loop time and increases how fast you can iterate on changes.
For my setup, I've got forgejo hosted on my NAS along with various web apps as containers in podman which I use cloudflared tunnels to selectively make them public. I've got a Claude skill which knows about my hosting environment and can setup / manage new web projects for me. When I add a new web project, CC runs a script that CC built to configure the build, test and deploy actions. After that, any pull request to that new repo will automatically build and test and deploy automatically to a new subdomain. CC could call the APIs directly and handle everything without scripts, but that's where some of the non-deterministic aspects of LLMs might creep in. I want it to setup everything the same way every time so all the apps are consistent. So it uses pre-built scripts for those aspects with the direct API calls being an escape hatch if needed.
> There's also the cross conversation memory search, which uses a different conversation dataset (the Claude Web / Claude.AI conversations) than Claude Code does. I'm not even sure Claude Code does cross conversation search?
This is one of the first things I “fixed” with skills and hooks. I index every conversation in SQLite and have a skill which knows what to do when I ask it to search the index. I had to avoid the word memory because it’s too tied up in other parts of the context. It even indexes across my different machines. I set this up because I have terrible context discipline. I’ll go off on a tangent in one context and start planning and sometimes implementing something based on that thread which really deserves its own context. Afterward I can create the new context and move relevant bits to it, but I’d lose that initial starting conversation which inherently has more data than the summary in the new context.
I also use a few different related contexts. One where I’m building a game engine in zig and another talking about game ideas. There’s a lot of back and forth going on there which needs some shared context. I solve this with a combination of Claude.md references and that searchable session index.
Everything I do with scheduled tasks are just wired up with systemd and simple scripts. No LLM in the critical execution path. Again a skill tells CC how I manage those scheduled things so I just have to say something like “run this every day at midnight” and CC has reliably taken care of the rest.
I and many other HN participants are in the privileged few who would actually see higher taxes from that change in SS and Medicare taxation. I'm on board. But most probably are not. It is weird and still somewhat foreign to me that my paycheck increases in the late fall / early winter. I appreciate the extra money coming in, but realistically it wouldn't make a material difference in my life if it didn't.
