    “ Worst case: Claude does something unexpected on a disposable VM.” .. with a valid SSH key unless I’m reading it wrong?

    The fact this study even exists is a sign of something having gone very wrong IMHO. The notion of tracking if time spent on anything helps “prevent burnout” speaks volumes to how w…

    It's 1AM in San Francisco right now. I don't envy the person having to call Matthew Prince and wake him up for this one. And I feel really bad for the person that forgot a closing …

    "In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. Dec 05, 2025 - 07:00 UTC" No need. Yikes.

    Claude offline too. 500 errors on the web and the mobile app has been knocked out.

    Seems like it. Claude just went offline and is throwing Cloudflare 500 errors on the web interface.

    I was under the impression (admittedly from an article I read a couple of years ago) that the consensus within the company was pretty much always that robo-taxis were one man’s pip…

    All of which would be better than what the post is advocating and I totally agree with this.

    I don’t think we need to be calling people incompetent over a disagreement. Are you suggesting that not opening the ports to any other services means they’re no longer a vulnerabil…

    Literally no-one said that. (Some of) the reasons why you would do this are explained (I thought clearly) above. None of this is security through obscurity.

    I agree in principal but not in practice here. If you’re using a typical docker host, say CoreOS, following a standard production setup, then running your app as a container on top…

    It’s great that this isn’t hurting them but it leaves out a lot that makes me a bit nervous about this being taken as advice. They’re advocating deploying a binary as preferable to…

    That’s a rather generous assumption. Do Apple definitely not retain a key? If they don’t is the encryption quantum secure?

    That seems like the worst option. Everything up to the free tier would stay there forever with no way for you to ever request it to be deleted.

    I do think you can build products and services that people will capital-L Love, even forgiving some warts too, but the bar for that is very high. I’m very skeptical of tech busines…

    I mean, Op started right off the bat with the idea that op would love to live in a communist society. By all means Op can say that they agree with some Marxist ideas, but when the …

    I like the approach taken here. Nextcloud is becoming the defacto open-personal-cloud standard so it makes sense to integrate photos into that. If Nextcloud were getting up to shen…

    Ask HN: Is there a way to get back to the web we lost?

    I’ve been thinking for a long time about the web that I came of age with, which I’m sure will likely be different from the web that many of you came of age with, given how wide the…

    I’d love to hear more about this switch as a family member is considering something similar as a 42 y/o. If you don’t mind, was it long ago that you made this switch? Was there any…
