"huge downside" (completely mitigated by using tmux)

The YouTube and social media eras made everyone so damn dramatic. :/

Mosh solves a problem. tmux provides a "solution" for some that resolves a design decision that can impact some user workflows.

I guess what I'm saying here, is it you NEED mosh, then running tmux is not even a hard ask.

Greenland, as part of Denmark, is part of and protected by NATO. As its in the Atlantic it benefits fully from that treaty.

It is also protected by Denmark's membership in the EU and the CSDP by virtue of the EU's collective self defense clause (which protects all of all member states territory, not just the parts in europe).

The status quo - apart from the part where the US is threatening to violate its NATO treaty obligations and invade something it is obligated to protect from invasion - is just fine.

> I don't think the debate between them is super useful because their architectures are very different.

Sure, that's true, but I, personally, care mostly about one question: Who holds the keys to the kingdom? In this respect, I think the AT Protocol fails spectacularly, mainly due to the lack of a credible strategy to implement really self-custodian identities.

> You also mentioned an issue with the bluesky relay, but others already exist so it's not techincally tied to Bluesky. Heck, I think the fact multiple can exist at the same, while degrades the social aspect, still makes it decentralized.

Yes, but this is also true for Nostr, Diaspora, Mastodon, etc. The difference being, last time I checked (and of course things might have changed in the meantime) with AT Protocol it was only possible to self-host part of the infrastructure (and hosting the relay is insanely demanding).

> As for the identity management issue, they announced just last week that it's getting branched to an independent entity: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org

This is another example of gaslighting from Bluesky that just makes me angry. How in the holiest of Hells does an "Identity directory controlled by a Swiss Association" make the whole thing better?

Sorry, not buying it. I don't have a horse in the race, but won't fall for the marketing.

The article makes a fair case for sticking with OTel, but it also feels a bit like forcing a general purpose tool into a domain where richer semantics might genuinely help. “Just add attributes” sounds neat until you’re debugging a multi-agent system with dynamic tool calls. Maybe hybrid or bridging standards are inevitable?

Curious if others here have actually tried scaling LLM observability in production like where does it hold up, and where does it collapse? Do you also feel the “open standards” narrative sometimes carries a bit of vendor bias along with it?

I don’t see a lot of people talking about Britain losing its cultural identity without also using dehumanizing language to describe the “invaders.” I mean, look at the closer to this article:

> You survived the Blitz. Britain will be back.

It’s pretty clear that the author thinks that Britain is at war and that the “invaders” are not real Brits, regardless of their legal status. Given the political coalition that DHH seems to proudly support, I assume he would be in favor of “remigration” (forceful expulsion of non-whites) just like Musk and others in these circles.

This is all just very faintly disguised racism.

FWIW, if someone wrote an article talking about how they respect London’s diversity, and how immigrants bring value to the country, but that the ratio of native to immigrant feels off, I would at least respect that (while disagreeing).

Just now tried it. It's really good! I will keep using it more today to see if it performs well consistently.

I had a small issue while onboarding. The app asked for microphone access, which I granted. It showed the task was completed. But the blue Next button stayed grayed out. I forced quit the app and then it all worked out fine from that point onward.

Ask HN: Why Do JavaScript Devs Struggle to Find a Solid Auth Solution?
by jerawaj740 | 2025-09-27 19:40:59+00:00
Other ecosystems solved auth years ago. Frameworks like Laravel, Rails, Django.Developers there just build and ship products.

Meanwhile, in JavaScript land, we’re stuck gluing together 1,000 npm packages and 1,000 paid external services. I don’t see this level of chaos in other languages.

It feels like VC money loves the JS ecosystem because it creates endless gaps to monetize. Auth is the best example, instead of one solid, free solution, we get a dozen half-solutions.

Don’t tell me better-auth or authjs, nothing is truly free. The authors behind those libs need to get paid eventually, either through sponsorship or by releasing a commercial version

I have two near 7 footers, plus 15 more from the bags. Luckily have an area with a vaulted ceiling. I use two things meant to hang backdrops for photo/video shoots that can go up 10" and hang a few lights on that. My bags are 15G for the photos.

If you have a garage that isn't too much of a mess you can always pop them in and out of it during the worst of the wet.

> How would that even work? Do you open your browser, log in, and then somehow transfer the session into your ssh client in a terminal? Does the browser assimilate the terminal?

That's pretty well covered in RFC8628 and doesn't even require a browser on the same device where the SSH client is running.

> And let me remind you, HTTP authentication isn't a login form. It's the browser built-in "HTTP username + password" form and its cousins. We're talking HTTP 401. The only places this is widely used is API bearer tokens and NTLM/Kerberos SSO.

That depends entirely on the implementation. It could also be a redirect response which the client chooses to delegate to the user's web browser for external authentication. It's just the protocol. How the client interprets responses is entirely up to the implementation.

> Unfortunately I need to pop your bubble, PAM also does session setup, you'd still need it.

I don't see why, really. It might just as well be an opaque part of a newer system to reconcile remote authorization with local identity, without any interaction with PAM itself necessary at all.

> And the other thing here is — you're solving your problem. Hard-relying on HTTP auth for this SSH successor needs to solve everyone's problem. And it's an incredibly bad fit for a whole bunch of things.

But isn't that the nice part about HTTP auth, that it's so extensible it can solve everyone's problems just fine? At least it does so on the web, daily, for billions of users.

Even if switching quickly was a challenge[1], they are using these models in their own products not just selling them in a service, the first party applications could quite easily adapt to this by switching quickly to the available model and freeing up the in-demand one.

This is the entire premise behind the cloud, the reason it was Amazon did it first, they had the largest workloads at the time before Web 2.0 and SaaS was a thing.

Only businesses with large first party apps succeeded in the cloud provider space, companies like HP, IBM all failed and their time to failure strongly correlated to their amount of first party apps they operated. i.e. These apps anyway needed to keep a lot of idle capacity for peak demand capacity they could now monetize and co-mingle in the cloud.

LLMs as a service is not any different from S3 launched 20 years ago.

---

[1] It isn't, at the scale they are operating these models it shouldn't matter at all, it is not individual GPUs or machines that make a difference in load handling at all. Only few users are going to explicitly pining a specific patch version for the rest they can serve either one that is available immediately or cheaply.

>I don’t live under a rock.

Here's an example of what you are claiming. A chemist publicly states his opinion on the current illegal immigrant crackdown and implies or directly states that his opinion has more value because he is a chemist.

Alternative example the chemist is interviewed for his opinion on immigration by the news (except as a bystander when they want random people to chime in).

For example CNN is discussing Trump's crackdown and says "here to talk about what Trump is doing is Harvard professor of Chemistry and (other titles) Chemist John Bismuth"

Can you provide an example of this?

Finnmark in Northern Norway is more like 1.5-2, Troms is 3-6. But I agree, Alaska and Western Canada are places to go some day.

Funnily, as a student I had this offer to go to work as a waiter on Alaska. For different reasons that didn't materialize, but definitely this makes me want to go see it even more.

The trouble is that it's both things at the same time. Countries that fix prices are paying less than their share of the R&D and the US market has bad regulations that unnecessarily limit competition.

The situation you're describing can happen in one of two ways. The first is that the more bioavailable version wasn't patented in the early 20th century, only the less bioavailable version, and then the version you like is still under patent and that's exactly what's supposed to happen. They get to charge a lot until the patent expires as the incentive to invent the more bioavailable version to begin with, and then Canada isn't paying their share and the US will be paying less when the patent expires, and if you don't like what they're charging then you can use the old version until the patent expires.

The second is that nobody is making a generic of the more bioavailable version even though the patent is expired. The US could and ought to fix that by remediating whatever regulation is impeding other companies from entering the market even though they should be able to. But then we're into a different problem because it can't be other countries not paying their share for something still under patent if it isn't still under patent.

>They simply have no reason to prefer foreign domination, when they can simply be sovereign.

No, they can't. The likes of Palau are (barely) viable as sovereign countries, because at least the geographic size is as small as their populations.

It is absolutely, positively, completely impossible for 50K Greenlanders to by themselves maintain a the world's largest island, even aside from the completely frozen-over aspect. The $600M annual subsidy by Denmark does not include the funds Copenhagen spends on also running Greenland's foreign relations and defense. But in reality, Denmark spends a relative pittance on those things (like "six dog sleds" pittance); the vast majority of the cost of defending Greenland is borne by the US, as has been the case since 1940. Why should the US shoulder the burden without commensurate political power?

I'm glad that the "new" (post-Flash) version keeps some of the sarcasm from before, even if he toned down the level of spite that he had against some subgenres.

There's too many websites trying to be neutral and respectful, which is great, but humanity also needs subjective, opinionated rants about music. After all, music wouldn't even exist without the emotions that it inspires, an that includes negative emotions from boredom to mockery. Also, that's what makes this website fun to read in the first place.

Last I checked, basic SQL injection attacks were still causing massive economic damage every year and are at or near the top of the OWASP list. SQL injection is essentially the result of unintentionally giving god-mode permission to a database by failing to understand how queries are built and processed. The... agency available to AI agents might not be all that obvious either.

Cancel culture has become an official policy of the federal government, the new focus on [performing] "domestic terrorism" means increasing persecution of wrongthink, and all those feeds from the private surveillance industry previously reserved for "national security" are set to be used in support of government-led domestic terrorism.

Kraftwerk was definitely important, but you're missing Frankie Knuckles and Black Box...

House (from The Warehouse) is as core to EDM as techno (more Kraftwerk), and they were literally remixing disco as well as using disco musical facets. And House and Techno's lines blurred a lot in Europe.

Slinging code is not really the point. Making money off said code is the point. Making more money than you spend maintaining it is really the point.

I don’t think over the last 5-8 years there has been a shortage of code-slingers, as evidenced by all the tech layoffs. Using LLMs to generate more code does not equal productivity. There’s that famous story about the -2000 LOC commit, etc.

> @GP?: Doesn't Lean have a "please fill the blanks" mode for short proof?

Yes, there are several depending on what you want to do. The catchall is `simp` (short for 'simplify').

Why do we need more than one "do what I mean" command? (Or more than zero "do what I say" commands?) Because it's impossible to know what you mean. If you try to use a lot of `simp`, you'll notice that you often have to tell it what to do.

Note that what we really want for this problem is a linear algebra package that can do row reduction, not a formal prover. This problem is all arithmetic.

> Slower? In top speed maybe, but not in time-to-destination (or, given congested streets, average speed).

Yep. Transit is ALWAYS slower on average compared to cars. It is faster only in a very narrow set of circumstances.

Try an experiment: drop 10 random points inside a city, and plot routes between them for cars and transit (you can use Google Maps API). Transit will be on average 2-3 times slower, even in the rush hour.

Unfortunately it’s a bit like asking for a “clean” Python distribution or a “safe” subset of C++.

And not just depend upon, but depend upon with all their concomitant foibles, bugs, and learned work-arounds.

Perfect. It should be no surprise but sometimes it is: some people get really surprised when they discover that higher temperatures, extra light and more CO2 make plants bigger. Or when they find out that pre-historical times had less oxygen and more CO2.

CO2 is so demonized that people forget that it's essential to life (at least, to some forms of life).

Yes, all breeds are the same distance from the original dog/wolf split, but Huskies (northern snow dogs) are different because their lineage picked up extra genes from ancient Arctic wolves like the 35k-year-old Taimyr wolf. They also show direct continuity with ~9000 year old sled dogs from Zhokhov Island, while most modern breeds only go back a few hundred years. Add in thousands of years of breeding in isolation for Arctic work, and the functional traits that were developed over that long timespan left Huskies with more distinct genes than most other breeds.

I’ve always felt it’s unfair that people attribute the “System 1/System 2” dual-reasoning idea to KT. Their research was mostly behavioral, and many of their classic psychology experiments (Linda problem, law of small numbers, representativeness bias, etc.) never mentioned two systems. The dual-process framework only emerged around the 2000s in cognitive psychology and neuroscience (e.g., Jonathan Evans, Keith Stanovich), which later provided brain-based evidence for it.

When the book came out, KT basically retrofitted their earlier behavioral work into this newer two-system framework. The book made the distinction famous, but that wasn’t really KT’s original contribution. Their biggest impact was bringing psychology into economics, i.e., prospect theory, alternative utility functions, and ultimately the creation of behavioral economics. I think people often don’t give enough credit to what they actually pioneered, and instead celebrate them for concepts they didn’t really originate.

Even as someone, "that played that shitty festival" with Joel Gion and all the rest (Black Angels, Loop) it wasn't Glastonbury in 95'; it wasn't anything. Find me a literate person that plays Vox 12-string and I'll form a band with you. I'll wait.

>> I don't think Spotify and streaming killed the music subculture, it's still very much alive but requires more intention to find

No, I think music as a subculture is dead.

When I was a kid in the 80's I would sneak out of the house and go to a hardcore punk show that was put on by kids for kids with no adult involvement whatsoever.

Right now, on a Saturday night, where is there an all-ages music show going on anywhere in the US where the kids in the pit are 14, 15 years old and no adult knows or cares that they're there? There's a culture now, but there's no subculture. Most kids are watched too closely for that to happen now, which is good! Mostly. And subculture doesn't require a credit card and a subscription plan.

How did I find new music? Word of mouth was good, cassette tapes that your friends made you. Going to shows. A little bit from Night Flight. The Decline of Western Civilization. Urgh! A Music War.

Compilation records. American Youth Report, Flipside Vinyl Fanzine, the Mystic record comps, Rat Music For Rat People, the Blasting Concept, Dope, Guns, and Fucking in the Streets, Let Them Eat Jellybeans, maximumrocknroll. Forced Exposure. No New York. Going to record stores "in the city".

>Nobody should be expected to come up with a reason why it is not intelligence.

I'm not asking anybody to come up with a reason why it's not intelligence. I'm telling people they're wrong when they do try to justify calling it not intelligent. if you want to gatekeep a word, you should at least try to define it and then stick to the definition.

It is intelligence in the sense that if somebody had described it in 2010, we would have said yes, that's intelligence and it's hundreds of years away. It isn't intelligence in the sense that it's now here and we've found holes in the story.

Intelligence is so poorly defined that it's an ever receding finish line that somehow we're supposed to cross before we can call the device intelligent.

As Dennett said, it's like magic. Magic that is possible is just tricks. Real magic is that which is impossible.
