Turning Claude Code into my best design partner

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-06 03:06:03

Published on August 18, 2025 When I first started using Claude Code, I had a naive approach to working with it. I would describe the task directly in the prompt, press Enter, and cross my fingers. If the agent made mistakes, I would tell it how to fix them. For small tasks, this can be good enough, but as the task grows in complexity, this approach reveals several significant drawbacks.

Germany's Copyright Clearing House now requires courts for website blocks

After more than four years of work, the Copyright Clearing House for the Internet (Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet, CUII), established in 2021, has declared itself "successful in the fight against criminal business models on the Internet." At the same time, it is responding to one of the main points of criticism, namely that a private body imposes restrictions on websites that are sensitive in terms of fundamental rights, largely unchecked and behind closed doors.

Dynamically patch a Python function's source code at runtime

written by Eric J. Ma on | tags: In this blog post, I share how I discovered a powerful Python trick: dynamically changing a function's source code at runtime using the compile and exec functions. This technique enabled me to build more flexible AI bots, like ToolBot, that can generate and execute code with access to the current environment. While this opens up exciting possibilities for LLM-powered agents and generative UIs, it also raises serious security concerns. Curious how this hack can s

Marshal madness: A brief history of Ruby deserialization exploits

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-01 19:41:33

Documenting the evolution of exploitation techniques serves a crucial purpose in security engineering: it helps us understand not just individual vulnerabilities but the systemic patterns that resist conventional fixes. The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well-documented case study of this phenomenon. That is, a decade-long cycle of patches and bypasses that reveals the futility of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. This history matters bec

What does it mean that the Federation has its own news networks, alongside a host of interstellar media organizations? What does freedom of information mean in a universe that has Starfleet?

Two men fell gravely ill last year; their infections link to deaths in the ’80s

The four cases were tied together not just by their shared location but also by the bacterial strain; whole genome sequencing showed the bacteria causing all four infections were highly related, suggesting a shared source of their infections.

What happens when you’re dealing with free text? Filtering the entire string may not be an option if an external API needs to process the value.
