It’s a solid post overall and even for people with a lot of experience there’s some good ideas in here. “Identify and mark functions that have a high security risk, such as authentication, authorization” is one such good idea - I take more time when the code is in these areas but an explicit marking system is a great suggestion. In addition to immediate review benefits, it means that future updates will have that context.

“Break things down” is something most of us do instinctively now but it’s something I see less experienced people fail at all the time.


> I'm curious, how do others here think about Anthropic?

I’m very pleased they exist and have this mindset and are also so good at what they do. I have a Max subscription - my most expensive subscription by a wide margin - and don’t resent the price at all. I am earnestly and perhaps naively hoping they can avoid enshittification. A business model where I am not the product gives me hope.


> But Pulp Fiction would not have been a masterpiece if Tarantino just typed “Write a gangster movie.” into a prompt field.

Doesn’t that prove the point? You could do that right now, and it would be absolute trash. Just like how right now we are nowhere close to being able to make great software with a single prompt.

I’ve been vibecoding a side project and it has been three months of ideating, iterating, refining and testing. It would have taken me immeasurably longer without these tools, but the end result is still 100% my vision, and it has been a tremendous amount of work.


Seconded!

Dumb question but how would these work in practice? I use kamal to deploy containerized applications. Would I on a regular basis update the versions of the underlying images to match the latest hardened container and then redeploy? I assume this is automatable?

Hi thanks for looking - I would preferably more info on your setup, but this is similar to using any container image. Currently all the tags are latest and if you have that setup you would pick that up from this repo and pretty sure this can be automated.

I would call strong opposition to Musk a democratic responsibility, not a derangement. We are talking about a guy with a fondness for the far right and throwing Nazi salutes, and whose destruction of USAID had, by November 2025, resulted in “hundreds of thousands of deaths”. [1] Those, of course, are just a couple of examples.

If strong opposition to that kind of evil makes me deranged, count me in.

Sure, but that is not a defence against the claim that his journalistic coverage is biased.

I strongly oppose the constant slander and the litany of lies partisan commenters post about Musk.

You don't get to throw out "fondness for throwing Nazi salutes" slander, based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time, and then act like you're doing democracy a favor. Try to stick to the facts.

Regarding the journalist discussed here, I had a look at his X account, and he posted no less than 20 posts attacking Tesla and Musk in just the last day. It's virtually all he posts, and it indeed appears deranged. The flagged comment was fair enough.


> based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time

We've all seen the video, there is no hoax and no doubt that he was doing a nazi salute, with some level of "humor" defense.


Seriously what is up with all the Electrical n apologists? Dude's a nazi. Weaseled his way into everything digitally related to the American government and should be treated like foreign intelligence agent. He has oversold and under-delivered everything he has bought from other people to claim for himself. Weird he's got so many dickriders on HN.

I think most of us don't care about the opinion of any Israël politician as they are doing Nazi things (genocide).

> You don't get to throw out "fondness for throwing Nazi salutes" slander, based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time, and then act like you're doing democracy a favor.

Just to clarify. This is the video context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw

Are you claiming that this is not an accurate depiction of what happened on stage? (That is the video is in some form fake. A deep fake, or special effects, or an Elon impersonator or whatever.)

Or are you claiming that the gesture seen is not a nazi salute?


Yes, "nazi salute" is obviously not an accurate description of the gesture Musk performed before saying "my heart goes out to you".

Here's a thought experiment for you.

If I stuck my middle finger up at you while saying "my heart goes out to you", what would you think?


Probably not that you support the Nazi regime, as that would be a ridiculous thing to think.

Particularly so if a year before you visited Auschwitz and stated it was "tragic that humans could do this to other humans", and told us how you attended a Hebrew preschool and have a lot of Jewish friends.


I didn't ask you what you wouldn't think. I asked you what you would think.

Did you even read the article you sent? It’s all based on estimates.

It is consensus seeking derangement at best


An article about a counterfactual (how many people would have survived had aid continued as before) can only be based on estimates, not real world data, yes, by its very nature. You can say the estimates are wrong, or that the source isn't trustworthy, maybe. But providing estimates for counterfactuals is not in any way illegitimate.

>The "salute" in particular is simply a politically-expedient freeze-frame from a Musk speech, where he said "my heart goes out to you all" and happened to raise his arm.

Yeah, no. I thought so as well initially but then I saw the video. The guy throws out his arm straight out multiple times.


On the subject of unusual calendars, I helped a friend make a calendar / digital art project that has a completely alternative month view:

now it's the last day of the month, any way to see the next month?

I’m not sure if this is an honest question or not, but I’ll treat it as such, even though you could answer your own question quite easily. The West is not complicit in the actions of the Iranian regime in any way that is similar to the situation with Israel. We are not arming the Iranians with the weapons they turn on civilians: very much not the case with Israel. Israel is treated like a normal state, whereas Iran is an international pariah and the subject of crippling sanctions. I could go on. The point is that westerners protest the actions of Israel because we believe we are part of the problem and that our protest might make a difference.

In fact, we believe - quite rightly - that if the US had conditioned military assistance to Israel on appropriate care for civilians, then the awful tragedy that unfolded in Gaza could have been averted. Similar levers for changing the behaviour of Iran do not exist.


If the US alliance with Israel is the reason why this conflict generated so much protest activity, then why didn't the pro-Palestinian left object to US ally Saudi Arabia's bombing campaign and blockade in Yemen? The US arms the Saudis. Much of what happened in Yemen is very similar to what happened in Gaza (airstrikes that hit civilians, hunger caused by blockading imports, etc)

And there have absolutely been examples of mass protest movements against regimes that are hostile to the US that are committing crimes against humanity. Years ago I went to a huge demonstration about the genocide in Darfur on the national mall in Washington. Raising awareness of what is happening and putting pressure on the Iranian regime (and on Western governments) can have an impact regardless of whether or not the West is hostile to Iran.


> The West is not complicit in the actions of the Iranian regime

What about the 1953 CIA/MI6 coup that overthrew Iran's elected prime minister?


>In fact, we believe - quite rightly - that if the US had conditioned military assistance to Israel on appropriate care for civilians, then the awful tragedy that unfolded in Gaza could have been averted.

What you saw in Gaza was ALREADY incredible levels of care and restraint (that has cost many Israeli soldiers their lives) to minimize civilian harm, when fighting against an enemy that benefits from increasing said harm.


I'll say it again and again till people wake up, this is the endgame of all religion. It doesn't matter which one, they all breed hate and encourage the othering of out-groups. This is why the middle east will never know peace while their governments are Theocratic.

I really needed this watch. What a lovely change from the steady drumbeat of insanity that has taken grip of this world. A beautiful reminder that amidst the chaos, so many people - I think many of us included! - continue to practice their craft with care, precision, discipline and consideration.


What's the option for iOS? I've tried installing ish and a-shell and can't get the sprites CLI installed on either of them.


Yeah, i’ve been looking at this. The easier this is to attach to your tailnet and ssh in from inside, I don’t think you’re dealing with the proxy then.

I tried several things and this is going to be the next one.


Let me know when you figure it out!


Vibe code a client in bash or Python that uses the Sprites HTTP API maybe?
