Not a Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

As I understand it, this "Application Sandbox" is to prevent app A seeing what app B is doing. The problem here is a different one: The user granting an app access to their files a…

This is interesting. I thought granting internet access to apps is not avoidable on Android. When an app does not request internet, is it really guaranteed that it cannot talk to t…

If the algorithm is proprietary, how do you know it is calculating something meaningful?

What does it do? Execute this script nightly? https://github.com/50YearsPhone/vision-50-years-phone/blob/m... Is it really necessary to install two huge external dependencies for t…

So is it possible to say "No bots except Google, OpenAI, Grok, Claude and Perplexity"? As far as I can tell, Google is the only one sending me visitors. And the other big AI player…

Why a laptop at all? Why not just use a VM in the cloud and just a CLI interface?

It was over $500k in the email I got. Not a fun experience. My hands were trembling. Makes you wonder - what if there really would be an incident where some massive amount of traff…

The appeal of GitHub for me is not only in the git hosting, but also in codespaces. It gives me: 1: An easy way to start a VM 2: A one-click solution to access it via private https…

Why base the decision on what tools are used by the author and not on the quality of their past contributions?

Which part of looking at the binary to understand how the device works and then writing a driver from scratch that talks to the device would violate copyright? One would not have c…

I meant the binary. With enough patience and spit it should be possible to understand it. And AI can do it while we sleep.

Could AI do it? Would it work to give the Windows driver to an LLM and tell it to analyze it and write a Linux driver?

AI isn’t replacing me. Like a toddler, it needs to be constantly coached. Like a toddler, it will grow up. Humans are really bad at noticing trajectories. They see the current situ…

But why recruit people, now that we have AI? Couldn't an agent monitor feature requests and bug reports, reason about them, and then implement and fix the ones it deems important?

For an open source project, is there any reason to still accept code contributions? Feature requests are valuable because they tell you what users want. Error reports are valuable …

The status page says it is fixed, but the server I host with them is still down. It even says so when I log in. Not available "Due to a current error".

Would running Codex in a container on its own fix such vulnurabilities?

If a more capable show up and starts beating all the other models There is an instance of this in the chart. In 2025-06-24 when Gemini-2.5-pro shows up. As you can see, the ELO of …

Could it be that this is a reasonable protection so that the average user is not being spied on via cameras in the printers when their computer gets compromised? I guess you can do…

No, that is not how ELO scores work.

Here is my perspective as someone who has not started 3d-printing yet, but is interested to give it a try: I'm a confused about the whole "3D printer sends prints to its manufactur…

I still do not support IPv6 on my servers and I think I will skip it and wait for IPv8: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html Avoiding a dual-stack and making IP…
