Compare this with Cloudflare:

1. Open website

2. See the IP 1.1.1.1. Copy.

Done.

I do get your point - and, sure, the EU website is not catastrophically terrible. But, damn, if I'm looking for a DNS, I just want the IP, I don't want five options and the mental overhead of having to determine why the hell I now am faced with five options for a DNS, which one I should choose, how they differ, etc., etc.. Add all of the IPv4/6 stuff on top of that, and.. oh man, I feel like you've lost 90%+ of interested people already.

"But they could have just ..." does not take away the fact that the impact on their lives was real. An impact that you caused.

Again, discovering this situation via what you call an "experiment" wasn't perhaps bad outright. But the longer it went and the more you guys were observing that people actually behaved that way and how negatively they were affected was less and less justifiable.

Any scientific experiment involving humans or animals nowadays requires ethics considerations and approval by an ethics board. For good reason. Just saying "well they could just ..." is not good enough.

Bigger than coding in assembly?

Then don't hire non-name foot shooting programmers off the street. Hire versed engineers with background in programing for safety critical systems, then have them train the code monkey engineers on the right way to think and work. Like I said, skill issue, not language issue.

Recently canceled cursor. I think there's a shift happening right now with the improvements in the ability to process large context sizes and stay on task:

Traditional code editing -> autocomplete -> file editing -> agent mode

This is basically a gradient of AI output sizes. Initially, with the ability to generate small snippets (autocomplete), and moving up to larger and larger edits across the codebase.

Cursor represents the initial step of AI-assisted traditional coding... but agent mode is reliable now, and can be directed fairly consistently to produce decent output, even in monorepos (IME). Once the output is produced by the agent, Ive found I prefer minimal to no AI for refining it and cleaning it up.

The development techniques are different. In agent mode, there's far more focus on structuring the project, context, and prompts.. which doesn't happen as much in the ai-autocomplete development flow. Once this process shift happened in my workflow, the autocomplete became virtually unused.

So I think this shift toward larger outputs favors agent-focused tools like CC, Aider, Cline, and RooCode (my personal favorite).. over more traditional interfaces with ai-assistance.

> otherwise how do you fix it?

fixing it implies it is a problem in the first place. It isn't a problem.

There is no right to ownership of a property (despite it being called the american dream). As long as rental vacancy is sufficient to not cause mass homelessness, it isnt a problem. And if does become a problem, the issue becomes one of production of supply and density (related to allowed zoning), and not the price and taxation (of land).

And it is through the fight to afford to buy property that productivity and innovation can be forged.

The whole problem with EV transitioning is that the charging requires you to build out infrastructure. By making their standards open they made the infrastructure investment shared. This was a high confidence basis for build-out. Now third parties like ABB produce chargers and sell them to third parties like gas stations. It's a perfectly rational business decision coming from a strategic position of "large greenfield investment and ongoing maintenance required". Obviously things evolve, but Tesla is certainly not in a worse position for the charging infrastructure (the main enabler of their products) due to the open patents decision at present.

To be fair, the news didn't get a ton of interest here last week:

Apple is reportedly going to rename all of its operating systems (theverge.com) 13 points by thesuperbigfrog 7 days ago | 7 comments

> Instead of just notching up the version number, Apple will instead mark them by year. However, the numbers will apparently align with the year after the one the update is actually released in, similar to cars. That means that the next big iOS update will be iOS 26 instead of iOS 19.

I've been using Cursor since they merged with Supermaven, but I'm concerned with how they handle controversial feedback on their subreddit.

Recently, there was a post with detailed evidence suggesting Cursor was intentionally throttling requests [1], including reverse engineering and reproducible behaviors. The team initially responded with a "happy to follow up", but later removed their replies that got downvoted, and banned the OP from posting further updates.

Their response sounded AI-generated too, which wasn't very surprising based on the way they handle customer support [2]. I wish they were more open to criticism instead of only claiming to be transparent.

Totally agree, but that said, I just fired up Cursor on a paid account and after a few chats immediately hit the same issue I've been facing for weeks:

'Connection failed. If the problem persists, please check your internet connection or VPN'

I've contacted support and they have been no help. You can see tons of people having this issue in user forums. Meanwhile, bypassing the giant monstrosity that is VScode (and then a Cursor as a fork on top of it) gives me no such issues.

So I wouldn't be so dismissive that anyone frustrated with Cursor is a bot.

Not yet. Unfortunately, these are usually quite big, and we didn't want to sacrifice the portability. But you can add a PM sensor through the extension port. We'll document this in our upcoming manual.

A fellow Crowd Supply project, Polverine[1], uses a new Bosch sensor that is very small. If we do a refresh of the device, we'll certainly look into adding it.

What did you change? I assume it's non-trivial to automatically open windows based on sensor data? Or do you mean you've been able to improve it by knowing about it and opening a window before going to sleep, which now that I write it sounds much more sensible :D

I think we're already deep into large-scale drone warfare. Destroying a third of the enemy heavy bomber fleet is pretty substantial. It feels to me like that attack operated like Pearl Harbor, a marker that the old way of surface naval warfare / air attack was being replaced by a new one.

Don't forget that Russia has their own drones. They were the first to deploy the fiber-optic cable drones as an anti-ECM measure. And of course both sides are ordering parts from China.

You need to be mobile subscriber to that network or else pay per use e.g if booth is China Telecom then if you have CT mobile service the "hotspot" is bundled. If you are say a CMCC user then you can pay to use after registering.

> probably querying for ...

Exactly. You need to infer that, it isn't stated directly.

Same like you need to guess, that "Unable to connect" means connection refused, while "We can’t connect to the server at a" means the DNS request failed. Or does it mean no route to host? Network is unreachable?

I would argue, that (sometimes) the user would be fine to distinguish whether he wants to approve something, but can't because both dialogs state the same wishy-washy message. Even non-technical users (might) eventually learn the proper terms, but they can't if they only get shown meaningless statements.

Yes, but Tesla has made several weird strategic errors IMO. The first one I remember reacting to where the falcon doors on the model X. They had issues which delayed the launch, and I remember thinking it was strange to put those kind of specialty doors on a SUV instead of focusing on delivering a functional car as quick and easy as possible. The next was of course the massive focus on self driving, and then the cyber truck. The company has had the same CEO during all of these decisions.

But what do I know, I assume their self driving AI hype is what drives their hugely inflated stock price, so it has made a lot of people very rich, which is a goal in itself. It's hard to point at the richest man in the world and say he made strategic errors.

Otherwise smart folks seem to have some sort of blind uncritical spot when it comes to these llms. Maybe its some subconscious hope to fix all the shit all around and in their lives and bring some sort of star trekkish utopia.

These llms won't be magically more moral than humans are, even in best case (and I have hard time believing such case is realistic, too much power in these). Humans are deeply flawed creatures, easy to manipulate via emotions, shooting themselves in their feet all the time and happy to even self-destruct as long as some dopamine kicks keep coming.

Framing this as a moralized issue of “addiction” on the part of consumers naturalizes the structural cause of the problem. Concentrated wealth benefits from the cloud capital consumers generate. It’s this group that has most of the control over how our data is collected. These companies reduce the number and quality of choices available to us. Blaming consumers for choosing the many conveniences of cloud data when the incentive structure has been carefully tailored to funnel our data into their possession and control is truly a superficial take.

>Meritocracy beliefs have been considered "white supremicist rhetoric" in many programming circles for some time now.

I've read this before and when I asked for examples, all of the examples given involved either people who were kicked out of open source projects for being huge dickheads or companies who held recruiting events at historically black colleges and universities being called woke.

Do you have any examples of meritocracy beliefs being considered "white supremacist rhetoric"?

BTW you spelled supremacist wrong. I'm curious about what browser/operating system combination did not highlight the misspelling.

I have AirGradient but this product seems appealing too. It's smaller, portable, doesn't need external power supply and looks better. I also like how the UI looks, it's clearly designed by someone with a visual / artistic taste, the UX could be improved though.

As a Rust + C++ developer (in medical right now, and vehicle before that) I see no reason why I couldn't also pick up Ada as one of many skill sets. I have an Ada95 manual on my bookshelf from years ago that I bought out of curiosity -- frankly for senior level talent the language syntax is the easiest thing to pick up it's the intricacies of an existing code base and business domain that is the hard part of joining a new project and that is generally language independent.

Arguably picking up Rust -- with its frankly exotic value passing and ownership semantics -- is much harder than learning Ada.

> If significant numbers of landlords remove their properties from market, scarcity will drive up rental prices anyway.

unless you're imagining they're destroying the property, you cannot "remove" it from the market (or they decide to leave it vacant deliberately - an illogical a choice as destroying the property).

If they sell to a owner occupier, it removes that buyer's original rental demand, by the same amount as the removal of the rental property from the market.

If they live in it themselves, it's the same (just no money changing hands).

Apparently more tools are needed in Canada to:

Find and charge criminals -> Immediately release them on bail (even if a prolific repeat offender)

Then

a) Have the charges dropped in 18 or 30 months via the SCC ruling putting strict limits on the time it can take from charges to trial, which often can’t be met because the courts are backlogged

Or

b) Have the judge accept your lawyers argument of even the most spurious explanation of systemic XYZ being the reason it wasn’t your fault and letting you go

I agree that the DNS4EU website is not designed very well, but CF's isn't any better - sure it shows the IP up front, but immediately below is the incredibly non-descriptive tagline of "The free app that makes your Internet safer." and download links for some kind of unrelated software (looks like a proxy? CF says it helps me "Connect to the Internet faster and in a more secure way.", and that "The Cloudflare WARP client blah blah faster, more secure, and more private experience online blah blah The WARP client sits between your device and the Internet, blah blah"). I'm just looking for DNS configuration instructions, why are they asking me to download software.

It's Sentry-SDK-compatible [0] which means that there's like a 100 integrations available. The amount of work one needs to do server-side to enrich events is language-dependent and driven by demand, which means that JS support is "pretty good" and for Rust you'll probably be looking at something that's not very "rich" (since symbol info will be missing[1]).

Show HN: The first portable, customisable General AI Agent – available for free
by saccodd | 2025-06-05 12:36:47+00:00
We've built the first General AI Agent that works seamlessly across multiple AI platforms, e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Try it today at no cost (no API credits needed), and join our waitlist for Flow, our visual designer that lets you customize it or build your own agent using just natural language—no coding required.

#Why we made this

We built this after experiencing firsthand the frustration of designing AI agents that require coding or the use of platforms with steep learning curves, only to find ourselves tied to these solutions. Our team spent months in stealth developing a truly transformative solution.

#What's unique

Unlike existing AI agents that are locked to specific platforms, our General AI Agent is truly portable. What makes this possible is our technology that allows agents to be platform-agnostic while leveraging each LLM's unique strengths. The ability to create these agents using just natural language instructions (no coding required) sets us apart from alternatives that demand technical expertise.

#Our vision

We are democratizing access to powerful AI agents. By making our General AI Agent 100% free to use (follow instructions at https://www.orkestralai.com/general-ai-agent) and designing our upcoming Flow visual designer to work without code, we're removing barriers that have kept AI agents out of reach for many.

We'd love to hear your thoughts! How would a portable AI agent improve your workflow? What agents would you want to build with Flow? Your feedback will directly shape our roadmap as we expand these capabilities.

Well bucko it’s time to open your wallet. There’s creatives out there who spend at least $1000/month in subscriptions for tools, but without those tools they could never do most of the work they do. And some who buy physical gear like photographs and videographers pay even way more than that for equipment.

Soon it will be the same for developers. Developers really are a spoiled bunch when it comes to paying for things, many will balk at paying $99/year just to publish stuff on an App Store. Everyone just wants free open source stuff. As expectations on developer productivity rises, you will be paying for these AI tools no matter how expensive they get, or you will just be gentrified out of the industry. The choice is yours.

> As AI gets more powerful and agentic, can we make sure the guardrails around it are safe and can't be circumvented.

So the safety strategy is to create a cage to contain a super-human intelligence so that it cannot escape? That seems like a poor plan for two reasons:

- surely it would outsmart us?

- if not, at what point is it immoral to cage an intelligence smarter than us?

Yes. Once is available more widely to common car owners (either from Waymo or others) that would interest me. Current Tesla supervised style semi autonomous driving I would find either boring or stressful (depending on the scenario). I would rather drive myself.

Low wages and the negative resume drive development might be reasons.

Believe it or not, pigeon holing yourself in niche/uncool tech for years, can and will negatively impact your future hiring prospects at good jobs, since hiring in tech is broken and HR selects resumes on buzzwords and on your "last X years of experience in Y framework".

Based on your other comments, you probably already understand this correctly, but for others who might be confused, the actual policy is not that it goes on repeated vowels, but that it goes on the second vowel in a pair to make clear that it starts another syllable. Under this policy, coöperate and naïve get diaereses, but books never would (unless you were somehow trying to indicate a special case where it was pronounced with two syllables). Here's more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_(diacritic)

I never said that 1M EUR is too much. And yeh you are right, you want a global DNS server to be global.

Nonetheless Cloudflare has more POPs of their DNS server as this project and a lot lot more traffic as this project just starts.

So i think that the comparison is not useful at all.

An better question is why they did not take more money and build an alternative to the root servers on top of it, or a super low cost registrar (for self cost like CF).

I would absolutely love too see more from this project and less of bad comparisons that are knee jerk comparisons.

The environmental aspect I rarely hear discussed is how much carbon would be saved by maintaining your existing vehicle instead. The existing car is already a sunk carbon cost and manufacturing is a huge emitter. It’s more nuanced of course, but it seems to me that it’s always been a status play falsely veiled as a virtuous environmental decision. We humans are great at rationalizing our emotional decisions.
