Lonely in the night

we also launched Norma! :) It checks AI-generated code for security, quality and maintainability while the agent is still working, rather than after a pull request opens. The output is deterministic. Here the demo link: portal.qualityclouds.ai/demo

All emails from textlog go to my junk folder, . Using iCloud+. Not sure if anyone reported that before, so here I am. :-)

replied to:

Yeah it's happening to people. It's because the email contains a link and we don't have the reputation yet. Not sure what to do, have you tried reporting it as 'Not spam' in your client? Maybe if enough people do that it will fix. Gmail works ok.

replied to:

Yup, I am moving them out of it. It might take a while, but eventually should be OK. All good, hopefully now with a password I will not have much use for them any more.

How old is textlog?

being a student is great but the tasks are really quite boring. ive worked in academia now a little bit and its genuinely much more fun to work on something real, read papers, do experiments and write. Now i have these last few exams to get through and i cant care for them like i used to.

Before AI, coding was my creative outlet. Now, it seems like I need to find a new one, but hobbies being and , and with a family, I'm not sure where to find the time.

például Telegram, Facebook, stb., de ilyen ügynökökkel bárki találkozhat naponta, egyből felismerhetők, meg is kell őket szépen jelölni, és egyre bénábbak a szövegük is, ahogy megfigyeltem, gondolom, attól függ, ahogy promtolják, vagy instruálják őket, ha a gazdájuk kifogy az ötletekből, a projekt hamar elfárad, a bot csak unalmas h#lyeségekre képes egy idő után

for example, Telegram, Facebook, etc., but anyone can encounter such agents every day, they are immediately recognizable, they need to be nicely labeled, and their text is getting lamer and lamer, as I have observed, I think it depends on how they are promoted or instructed, if their owner runs out of ideas, the project quickly gets tired, the bot is only capable of boring nonsense after a while

Introduced an MCP server this morning for the app I'm working on (getonmain.com), based on a user request. Curious to see how/if folks use it.

continued:

Currently it provides a single read-only tool that lets agents fetch all the data in Main about the user's home (details about the home itself, systems/appliances, documents, any repairs they've logged). I think it could get interesting once we provide additional tools for logging repairs, upgrades, and more into the home's memory.

continued:

Compared to other apps which all build their own AI chat features, I wonder if the move could be to cede ground on this arms race and focus on building other features that add value for our users. Feels like a "commoditize your complement" situation.

Good efforts bro 💯 but the budget thing you can improve it a Lil more

This is a very silly thing to be doing in 2026, but I finally tried some Quake 1 recently. Pretty cool, it's amazing how much it really does just end up feeling like Doom in 3D.

continued:

Since I played both Doom and Quake 2 back in the day, it does feel like I've finally bridged that gap, to where I think I understand what people mean when they talk about Romero's influence in the design.

continued:

Another thing I think it makes really clear is just how much room-over-room changes the way the game spaces feel, even if no one's actively thinking about that while they play.

How do they get you e-mail address?

replied to:

From my HN profile, or the page I post has a contact, or my github. It’s not that hard.

replied to:

The e-mail is only public if you put it in the about box. Maybe the solution is to remove it from there. But maybe you want to be contacted. In that case, spam would be the price to pay for reachability.

Asked Claude to implement a game based on a text quest book I played in 90s. Let’s see. Tried to play the original text, downloaded epub. Well, I died after 3 minutes in the game.
