You definitely don't need that many lines of code, started with just a couple. After that I started having several small issues:

- the router is behind DDNS and changes its IP address on every connect, had to set up reresolve script and cron

- my WireGuard was capturing the default route and I wanted to use the DNS server behind the tunnel when using it as exit node, but that initially broke the DNS reresolve

- one WireGuard tunnel only supported IPv4, but the node I was running on had dual stack, half of the traffic ended up using IPv6 and not going through the tunnel at all

- when routing incoming connections from the other end of the tunnel to the tailnet, I realised Tailscale does SNAT by default for connections from tailnet to the router (this can be disabled), but the WireGuard connections were coming from an unknown subnet and I had to add masquerading rules

- Tailscale doesn't work so nicely with firewalls, it wants to either inject its chains as first or make you configure it after the startup, worked around by modifying a healthcheck to fix the firewall after startup

- I wanted to exclude the WireGuard device from Tailscale monitoring to avoid noise, there's a patch and multiple issues for that on GitHub that haven't been merged, included the patches in my image

I may have forgotten some other edge cases that came up, but here's a few. In addition, I wanted it to automatically parse the advertised subnets from the WG config, which added to the scripts a bit.

In short, it started out as a hack I didn't even think worth sharing, but more things broke than I would've imagined. So wanted to share with anyone who might find it useful.

It's pernicious. I've been to places that add "service charge" by default now to relieve tipping, then still give you the option to tip on top of that, which some people do because they think maybe the service charge isn't going to the server (in the places I've been to, it is). Tipping needs to die and it's frustrating to see it starting to proliferate in some European countries.

Congress' approval ratings are always under 40%, and have been for as long as they've been taking data.

And yet most actual Congressmen have a high approval rating within their district. Incumbents have an extremely high return rate.

The problem is never your Congressperson. It's always because Congress is filled with other districts' Congresspeople.

I don't think you'll fix that by un-gerrymandering. If anything, I bet you'll get even higher approval ratings for the incumbents, since you'll have fewer "cracked" districts (boundaries drawn to make a group a minority in two districts instead of the majority in one).

Ending gerrymandering might get a Congress that better reflects what people want. But mostly, what people want is for "the other guys" (whoever is not in your party) to win.

Really? I was literally calling out a "company" and an individual jumped in and I responded to that and now you are jumping in the middle and trying to teach me how I should see it? Is Apple attachment this strong around here? It just doesn't make sense to me. Is it some kind of cultural aspect of something? (And I respectfully want to make it clear here that these are rhetorical questions, I didn't really mean to ask them, and I do not hate you or that other HNer, it's just feels/felt weird).

> Would you let them bicycle through the homeless district?

I have lived in and around more than one area known to have a high density of people experiencing homelessness. It seems a lot, lot scarier than it really is. Once you get used to just tuning them out it's fine. The vast, vast majority of the crime in that community happens amongst themselves. Are there exceptions to that? Of course. But the numbers are low, just like most crime.

Waymo has been a good actor in every way I can think of so far. They're transparent, their expansion is cautiously paced, and their safety record exceeds that of human drivers. I'm not sure what more we could ask for. Tesla on the other hand seems determined to put cars on the road ASAP and just hope for the best, but local regulatory hurdles seem to have stopped them for the most part. Zoox, from what I can tell, is taking the Waymo approach.

Small phones are dead as a mainstream product, sure.

Screenreaders are also dead as a mainstream product.

Phones with a German language setting are dead as a mainstream product.

However, there are various people with severe disabilities like being blind, being german, and having small hands, so we should produce phones that are appropriate for all of those groups, and yet only the former two are serviced (even though there are more people with small hands than there are germans).

Hey HN! Philip here from Incredible, a small 13 person team from Sweden. We've spent the last 3 years on a different path than most LLM/AI companies. While others optimize for general intelligence, we've been obsessed with one thing: making AI that actually gets work done.

Our journey has been... unconventional. We built 14 different products over the past 3 years, tested with 1000+ users, served 250+ paying customers. Each iteration taught us something new about what holds AI back from doing real work. Last year we released SWE-LLM (continued training, Sweden's largest language model) as an experiment in language understanding. That laid the groundwork for what we're sharing today.

Introducing Incredible - Agentic AI models designed specifically for taking actions in your apps.

We don't have billions in funding. This is still a research preview - we're learning and improving every day. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what real work you need AI to handle.

PS: Flagship model coming soon.

Tack! (That's Swedish for thanks!)

Yeah, if not for these checkpoints I think I'd have a much more fluid experience with golang, but I respect the fact they didn't choose to implicitly send errors through the callstack, I just never managed to find a good solution for making these callstacks clear.

Take this function I contributed not long ago to the project I work on: https://gitlab.com/nunet/device-management-service/-/blob/aa...

In it for each step in the procedure of saving the config file I need to check whether it's successful, otherwise send back the callstack. I often find it confusing to navigate back when I have an error and to maintain code that has many such steps.

Anyone can be fallible in the right circumstances. Maybe you're tired, unwell, in a rush, or otherwise distressed and not thinking straight. Maybe a malicious actor accidentally crafts a scam that coincides with specific details from your life. Perhaps the scam centres around some system you have less expertise in.

The point of not assigning blame isn't to absolve people of the need to have their guard up but to recognise that everyone is capable of mistakes.

> science museums being places for kids is a good thing. The are the ones who benefit the most

I'm not sure how you can look at the current state of scientific literacy in America and conclude this.

> art museums, the problem is that they are usually just exhibitions, and to be honest, that's boring, especially if you are a kid

There are historical, thematic and philosophical aspects to art that make it beautiful beyond the aesthetic.

I admit to not being a museum head myself. Now that I'm a parent though, I've gone to them all, multiple times. Before that, I'd not gone to any of them unless they're world famous.

If it wasn't for kids, nobody would go to most museums (non-famous ones especially)

Kids are simply the demographic, because every parent is looking for activities to entertain the kids every day.

Interactive non-screen based exhibits that are designed for kids are the best, but if you can't have that for cost/know-how reasons interactive multi-media exhibits are a good second on the "it did a good job entertaining my kid" spectrum.

Actually learning anything is a secondary demand from the consumer when it comes to museums unfortunately. Entertaining the kids is number one, bonus points if it also managed to entertain the parents.

I'm not a big fan of Roundup (I say send kids through the field cutting weeds with a bean hook like I did growing up; it builds character), but they have a legit argument that spraying post-emergence causes less runoff than tilling weeds under before planting, so you retain more soil and have less chemicals running into waterways.

You're irritated because I gave you an output of the broad-sense heritability statistic that conflicts with your intuitive understanding of what "heritability" means. Now you understand how people feel when commenters randomly throw around the term "heritability" with respect to cognitive ability.

This is a "not even wrong" situation. Is cognitive ability significantly genetically determined? Maybe, maybe not. A broad heritability statistic from a twin study isn't going to resolve the question.

Here's a good link for you:

http://bactra.org/weblog/520.html

I promise, the author has studied and thought more carefully about the question than we have.

Fair warning: you would not be happier if I cited a molecular geneticist on this subject. Your argument gets even harder to sustain once you bring GWAS into the picture.

Or to write it less pessimistically, the models are trained to prime their own context window such that by the end of the chain they arrive at more valuable responses. By creating intermediary steps in the chain, the next step is easier to generate rather than moving directly to the desired response. We call it reasoning because it is intuitively analogous to human reasoning methods though it is understood that LLMs don't succeed as generally as humans are able to.

Can you provide more examples? I've taken a Win32 application from .NET 3.5, converted it to a .NET Console Application (it was a server with a GUI) to run on .NET 8 with minimal friction, a lot of it wound up me just importing .NET Framework packages anew from NuGet.

What are you looking for out of .NET? The staple packages don't go away as often as in languages like NodeJS

You're missing the forest for the trees. A regular user account should never have a service principal name (SPN), for the simple reason that it can be attacked in the way described. That is why service accounts have really long complex passwords.

Kerberoasting nearly always occurs due to an installation process that assigns an SPN to an account that is performing an installation, or inappropriately selected by the installer. That is the first problem. The second problem is there isn't anyone auditing this stuff because they are incompetent.

If you reported an issue of an account that had an SPN but should not, nearly everyone would either not know what you are talking about, or disagree that it is a security problem without any knowledge or basis.

> sure, threat model matters. no protection is 100%, but more is better.

You can't just say "threat model matters" and then treat security as an absolute gradient (poset?). That means you don't have a real threat model.

> using my own hosted proxy means that my identity is out in public. it's not even hidden. no need to even seize payment records. anyone can look up the ip address and eventually figure out who owns the server.

Bold claim – you've gotta show your work for this one.

> there is no threat model where your own hosted proxy could ever provide better protection than any VPN.

"no threat model [em-bee can imagine]", maybe :)

Here's one for you: how do you know your VPN provider doesn't log usage? You SSHed in and looked at /etc/syslog lately? Went to their hosting provider and opened door 641A?[0]

You sell a VPN and accept US cash? You are interacting with the US financial system and are open to all sorts of laws and enforcement levers that get to be pulled against the company that sold you that service & pinky swore they didn't log.

How sure are you about that "no log" claim if your VPN provider had a visit from a friendly FinCEN CI and some HSI folks who explained what a "US nexus" is?

All this said, I don't necessarily disagree with you: my personal threat model is that bigger fish exist than me, and a paid VPN provider fits the risks I take. Yours might be the same. But I don't see how you reasoned your way there.

As I understand it, Ranked Choice Voting is still winner-take-all, and that's the real problem. There's still only one winner, and that person is rarely anybody's first choice.

People might appreciate having had the chance to express their first choice, but when they're forced to settle for their second, third... hundredth choice, I'm not sure they'll be any happier.

There are ways to do away with the single-winner system, such as party lists. They, too, have drawbacks, but they'd at least be different drawbacks.

Words and thoughts are wholly separate. Notes aren't the direct results of perception, they are more like sportscasters reading the mind of pitchers. Notes point to thoughts or observations, they aren't the thoughts themselves.

From the commenter: "The good school has smarter kids with better parents. The bad school had dull kids with bad parents. The kids at the new school do their homework, read, play outside. The kids at the old school skipped homework, played call of duty, and could hardly read."

That appears to be their observation of the two schools they had direct experience with. What else are you asking they provide here in terms of analysis? Maybe average student test scores? Likely available as it appears they are talking about public schools here. If the new school has significantly better scores would that satisfy your analysis requirement? If the test scores within their household subsequently follow this trend would that be sufficient analysis? In general active/concerned parents are going to try to get their kids the best education available right?

Also can you elaborate on where you got the "unfairly placed" part? All that was actually said was they moved from one school district to another. People buy homes for school districts all the time...there's a section dedicated to school rankings on Zillow for a reason.

It's not a museum, unless there's a dark room with a bunch of mostly empty chairs lined up in front of a projection screen showing a slide show or documentary (or really both at the same time) with an overly enthusiastic narration covering the history of the subject.

Sometimes you can't even get to the displays, without first at least walking through the room.

Whenever I walk by the vaguely muffled sounds of someone watching a movie in another room, I get nostalgic for childhood visits to museums.

I have temporal lobe epilepsy. The premise of this article seems quite wrong to me.

From the article: "I think it’s because I don’t only know things: I remember learning them. My knowledge is sedimentary, and I can “feel” the position and solidity of different facts and ideas in that mass. I can feel, too, the airy disconnect of a guess."

I think this can be rephrased as a statement that episodic memory (i.e. recalling the act of learning) is associated with semantic memory (i.e. recalling the fact itself). And for people with more normal brains, it seems it often is.

For people with temporal lobe epilepsy, in many cases the episodic memory isn't there. TLE frequently damages the hippocampus. Often, immediately after taking my meds, I can't recall doing so. I only know I did because I mark it in a notebook when I do it. Things like that are common. However, I can absolutely learn things like structure of systems, API calls, and the like. I believe that I perceive when I'm not sure of something, or that I'm guessing.

Of course, this kind of perception is difficult to verify outside of a study. A lot of memory is very unreliable, even for normal people. Us lucky people with TLE are often more aware of this, because in my case, I have very vivid memories of events that certainly did not occur. These memories are some of the most vivid I have; they seem more real than reality. I have memories of events that I can't verify by comparing them to the current state of the world; I have no idea if they happened or not. Even with all that, I believe my semantic memory is reasonably good; I can do my job as a software engineer.

Right, so, again, it sounds like your public transit is underfunded or something. Where I live I can depend on there being another train within 8 minutes no matter where I'm going, or a bus, or I can just hop on a ubike and I can be confident there'll be a space and station within a couple hundred meters.

I sympathize with people that aren't so lucky, but, if Taipei can figure it out, there's really no excuse elsewhere. Good public transit really is the only viable way to move people. The private car is, objectively, the worst.

The funny, and somewhat ironic thing is from my own understanding of Communist nations is they don't even try to do this... USSR put in a fair amount of effort to promote excellence and achievement for students into more specialized programs earlier than later. With an overall increased divide between the best and worst performing. I find it hard to fathom that there are those in the US that work so hard to hold back advancement from those most capable.

> It’s that it actually is very difficult to prove genetic heritability vs effects in the womb because you can’t do twin studies, going back to my original comment.

You seem weirdly fixated on this point, and to your rhetorical disadvantage.

It is difficult to tell whether you are being accidentally or willfully ignorant. Maternal effects are well-accounted for in research. It is extremely improbable that we’ll ever find out that they have anything but a very minor influence on ASD compared to genetic factors.

Until you're the only adult in the car, driving along the motorway, and one of the kids in the back starts crying / gets car sick / needs the toilet when you're 15km from the next services. Granted, train toilets with a toddler aren't much fun either.

Don't need a crazy expensive stroller though. A sling when they're small and light, and once they get big and heavy, they're large enough to go in a more basic foldable stroller. The childcare products industry is honestly awful at scamming new or expecting parents into buying shit they don't need.

So they spend all their effort on social justice, but spend none of their money on it? You should move to the South, you can pick a charter/magnate/whatever school with no special education and no busses. Keeps out the pesky blacks and retarded.

Somewhat of a pain though since my son has autism and services are pretty shit compared to where I lived in NJ

Does the opposite movement exist?

Like "No Tips".

Pay your employees, pay your taxes.

No nonsense on dividing tips between people that I did not interact with, minimum tipping, or with automated machines.

Tipping also means that if I want to know how much I'll spend in your restaurant I will have to decide how much I tip even before I walk in.

This is all just tax evasion with extra steps, enabling exploiting of people that have less contractual power.
