Show us recent rulings in the federal level in the US in favor of people/consumers and ill bail.

AI is capable of generating things that are nearly indiscernible from reality, with almost any input, be it adversarial or other. Photoshop at least involved some manual trimming a…

Way more technical, way smaller. HN is a lot more wide in terms of audience and subjects, Lobsters is mainly programming. I love it.

How is Rocketlab valued 57B? They made $500M of revenue in 2025. This is 100x their entire balance sheet.

One of the founding books that really blew my mind and drove me on the path of software and hacking. I was 17 in 2005 and discovered it by chance, and I’ve been binging on hard sf …

What are you talking about ? It says that the parental settings (when enabled!) are just letting children do whatever they want by default: - buying overpriced objects - chat witho…

I just can't. We shouldn't be saying "if an individual chooses to do so, we could achieve political harmony". At what point does the government says: twitter/X has attained a criti…

I want to subscribe to your AI wars news please! Joke aside, the strategic choices here and there hint at the blood lust of all other actors to dethrone Nvidia, it’s fascinating.

She's her own boss and shares her office space with 4 other people in medical space, no shadow IT there. Since her desk is far from the internet router, I added this little guy for…

My wife’s work WiFi is handled by a gl.inet 150 ( https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar150/ ) which is tucked behind her desk since at least 2019. Vanilla openwrt on it, provides …

Same, I use LLMs to figure out the correct options to pass in the AZ or the AWS CLI, or some low-key things. I still code on my own. But our management has drunk the Kool Aid and h…

Cause the codebase wasn't in my scope originally and I had to review in emergency due to a regression in production. I took the time to understand the issue at hand and why the cod…

Rant mode on. For the second time of the week this morning, I spent 45 min reviewing a merge request where the guy has no idea what he did, didn’t test, and let the llm hallucinate…

Meta: github is now requiring a login to see gists?

Hey robinhood, any feedback on Talos? We've been using Talos for our internal clusters for a while, but with quite small ones (3 kube node, 5 worker nodes). Upgrading has been gene…

I have so many questions, it is a very good article! My most important one is this: can I build a distributed k8s cluster with this? I mean having fly machines in Europe, US and As…

Can't you simply `proxy_pass` the traffic with any load balancer or reverse proxy (that you probably have anyways if you use TLS)?

From what I read somewhere, Tesla was able to do that because they have remote ssh capability. In at least one instance, they fixed the cars manually by running a massive remote co…

Reading your comment, my first thought was "how entitled??", but I see that this meeting was set up by the DO founders? Aoutch.

Say what you want about docker compose, but when I see the amount of scaffolding necessary for this, with so many catch words like butane or ignition, I’m happy with my good ol’ do…

I need to store on Azure for DRP reasons: we would DRP to azure and need the bandwidth. Also, storing the ZFS snapshots on Blob storage would still require us to retrieve the entir…

We are trying to use it for large backups of a production item, and it has not been a complete smooth ride all along. We have many files (millions) and lots of churn over ~80Tb tot…

Ah yes, rituximab, the R in R-CHOP. Welcome to the club! The very first infusion in my case triggered such a nasty allergic reaction that they settled on a 24h infusion duration, t…

Story time.. I coded a similar thing when I started working after graduation for a DTV software company; we needed to have an IPC on Linux and I whipped up some very crude equivale…
