Cool, this sounds like a very similar setup actually!

Even in this case, you still need to have a node somewhere to run the container and store the WireGuard keys, to be able to link the tailnet and the WireGuard endpoint. So that single point of failure still unfortunately remains.

The benefit of having it all configured in a single container means it's pretty easy to spin up anywhere (where the fenced router is accessible), all you need is the tunnel config file.

I also wanted to make sure it works for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections, because many ISPs in my area are starting to only give public IPv6 addresses. That way as long as the WireGuard router has IPv6 and the node running the container has IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, one can still access the Wireguard from an IPv4 only device.

Indeed, I thought that "decades old" sounds like an underestimate there: Socrates is said to have criticized writing for letting people to not train their memory, so that would be millennia by now. Though of course it is possible that the article's author would not agree with that, and would have a beef with more easily searchable content only, like the people who criticized tables of contents. I do not mean that they were all wrong though: probably the degree to which knowledge is outsourced matters, maybe some transitions were more worthwhile than others, and possibly something was indeed lost with those.

It's like with math. You could theoretically only memorize the axioms and rederive everything else on the fly.

But in practice, you don't have enough working memory or processing power to do that, so you'd be stuck with the math a few derivation steps above the axioms only.

To actually use math for problem solving, you need to memorize everything up to the bleeding edge, and to train yourself to operate on intermediate-level abstractions intuitively.

The reason you use Windows 11 is because you have some legacy software that needs it or your work requires it or you are a gamer.

Otherwise Mac OS is soooo much better and the hardware is so much better and if there weren’t ai most people would never have to upgrade from Mac M1.

They also need to stop dumping spyware and forcing people into onedrive etc.

I was talking with somebody about their migration recently [0], and we got to speculating about AI and how it might have helped. There were basically 2 paths:

- Use the AI and ask for answers. It'll generate something! It'll also be pleasant, because it'll replace the thinking you were planning on doing.

- Use the AI to automate away the dumb stuff, like writing a bespoke test suite or new infra to run those tests. It'll almost certainly succeed, and be faster than you. And you'll move onto the next hard problem quickly.

It's funny, because these two things represent wildly different vibes. The first one, work is so much easier. AI is doing the job. In the second one, work is harder. You've compressed all your thinking work, back-to-back, and you're just doing hard thing after hard thing, because all the easy work happens in the background via LLM.

If you're in a position where there's any amount of competition (like at work, typically), it's hard to imagine where the people operating in the 2nd mode don't wildly outpace the people operating in the first, both in quality and volume of output.

But also, it's exhausting. Thinking always is, I guess.

An infinitely scaling commercial for profit product designed to replace every creative by applying software processing to previous works is treated very differently than a sentient human being and their process of creativity.

The fact AI proponents can't see that is insane. Reminds me of the quote:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

Ah, I follow what you're saying. We've never tried to take over a country, we've only tried to project power for limited durations—up to and including 20 years—which failed because it was with coupled unclear goals, political maneuvering, and changing political situations back home.

However, if we instead did something different called "try to take over a country"—which also does involve projecting power, and also occupying foreign nations for long periods of time, perhaps even up to and including 20 years—it would not be coupled with unclear goals, political maneuvering, and changing political situations back home.

> These smaller actions have never mobilized the entire country on an expansionist, war time footing.

So we've done these things which failed, but if we did a different thing, it would definitely succeed.

Yes, gentrification is a thing around here too, but I also lived in the outskirts of the city and you don't need a car there either. They also have all the essentials. The fancy restaurants and theaters are 30min metro/bus away, but otherwise it is fine too. A car is a luxury in those quarters too.

Completely agree that the presence of bikes and scooters on the sidewalk is annoying and dangerous. The city changed the rules a few months ago and now there is a 500€ fine if you use them on the sidewalk. That fixed the problem. They have to use the street or one of the many bike lanes.

No idea how it is in Paris, but there are places where living happily in a city without owning a car is perfectly possible, even if you have small kids.

The AI can also give you pretty good examples of "kind" that you can then evaluate. I've had it find companies that "do X" and then used those companies to understand enough about what I am or am not looking for to research it myself using a search engine. The last time I did this I didn't end up surfacing any of what the AI provided. It's more like talking to the guy in the next cubicle, hearing some suggestions from them, and using those suggestions to form my own opinion about what's important and digging in on that. You do still have to do the work of forming an opinion. The ML model is just much better at recognizing relationships between different words and between features of a category of statements, and in my case they were statements that companies in a particular field tended to make on their websites.

> way these are pushed as "solutions to cities and traffic" make making fun of the too easy

It's funny. It's also dumb. An observation can be both at the same time--it's a cornerstone of humor. What it isn't is fundamentally true or revealing.

> their entire social context is "never encounter another human as you go from A to B"

Nope. It's recognising that humans have diverse and varying needs for interaction and privacy.

I like to dine out, even alone. That doesn't make everyone who eats at home alone an idiot. (That doesn't mean I can't make jokes about it. But they shouldn't be mistaken for truth.)

I'm sitting in the back of a Lyft car right now... I had to prompt the driver via a phone call to actually try to pick me up at the designated airport pickup spot (you know, where the app has me go), he spent 10 minutes trying to get out of the airport parking lot because he didn't seem to have a ticket, and now his constant pumping of the gas peddle in the sluggish Los Angeles traffic is challenging even my ironclad resistance to motion sickness.

How I wish I was in a Waymo right now! I've never had remotely such a poor experience in a SF robotaxi.

A common issue with open source patent licenses is that they cannot grant blanket patent rights from contributors without some limitation around modifications, as it would allow someone to trivially render all of contributors' patents invalid (they just have to write a patch for the software that implements a patent you hold).

GPLv3 has text about this in (s)11, MPLv2 has (s)2.3, and Apache-2.0 has s(3). GPLv2 doesn't have an explicit patent grant (and while some folks have argued that it has an implicit one that is just as good, I think the general consensus is that GPLv2 is not immune to patent trolls). All of them still allow you to make modifications but they do not guarantee that some other patents will not be infringed by your modifications and open you up to patent lawsuits (even from the same entity).

Assuming a lawyer wrote this, this is probably part of the reason for it. But it does feel a little sloppy, a separate patent license with clear terms would probably be more preferable.

If the author wrote the same sentence, but with "Plenty of theories -- no agreement", would you have an issue? I think the point works just as well.

"Theory" and "hypothesis" are pretty interchangeable in colloquial usage, and the post's tone is very colloquial. On top of that, there are things referred to as hypotheses that have empirical evidence, like the amyloid beta hypothesis. There is empirical evidence that supports it, but there is also evidence that doesn't, and it's an open question (depending on who you ask).

I don't think it shows that the author lacks the ability to discern state of the art research or is making wildly unsupported statements, I think they were using plain-English terms to describe a state where there's a lot of uncertainty about the physical mechanism as opposed to say, how a car engine works (which at a certain point relies on theories of physics, but they're theories that are almost universally agreed upon).
Show HN: Wappdex – an app store–style directory for SaaS and indie projects
by onounoko | 2025-09-10 16:22:47+00:00
Hey everyone,

I put together Wappdex, kind of like an app store for SaaS / indie projects. Right now it’s super early (only a couple apps listed), but the goal is to make it easier to find cool tools people are building and give indie devs a place to share their stuff.

It’s free to add your project, so if you’ve got something live, I’d love for you to throw it up there. Still very much an MVP and I’m looking for feedback on what would make this actually useful.

With just a single file you can trivially use it such that everything is inlined (if it's of the sort that static-s all functions, at least), even across multiple files using it, without needing the full compile-time-destruction of LTO.

And generally it's one less file to look at, more easy to copy-paste into your project (and as a very minor security benefit you'll potentially look at arbitrary subsets of the contents every time you do a go-to-definition or use the header as docs (thus having chances to notice oddities) instead of just looking at a header).

I love hosting my personal git, so glad to see others do! I use it for certain projects that I just want to be lazy about (personal website with sensitive data committed to the repo) projects that are for friends/family and don’t need to be public. I chose gitea maybe 2 years ago? And it’s been great. Very light weight compared to gitlab, with useful things like actions. So I can push a new commit to main on my personal server and it’ll deploy my website to the server. I still publish things I want to share to GitHub, but not everything.

I think the thing that sets it apart from others would be I run it on a m2 Mac mini? Very low power consumption, never makes any noise, and seemingly has plenty of power for whatever I need to get done.

While the article refers to Florida and Louisiana, due to increased precipitation density we're seeing more intense flooding happening more frequently in areas that aren't near the coast but are near a river. Many small towns in New England were established near a river for power and transportation. In some cases, they've now been flooded on the same day three years in a row.

These didn't used to be disaster-prone cities, but they are now.

> Is it that hard to build stuff for the greater good of the public but respect mother nature and workers' rights at the same time?

It is, it takes political effort and most importantly it takes adequate staffing on the state/local government for supervision and proper tender processes, and both is really short in supply - one might say that the latter is done on purpose as an excuse to privatize yet another piece of public infrastructure.

Of course a private toll road company can build faster and keep up with maintenance, it doesn't have to deal with tender bullshit, it can hire enough of its own staff to make sure vendors don't screw them over, and if it's a large enough company they can hire their own construction crews. Oh and obviously it can provide a source of extra income for the grifter politicians that vote for the privatization...

Your patronizing comment is unhelpful. My high school library certainly didn't do anything but lend books and store some AV equipment, and provide a computer/study space, and I already referred to keeping the space for those other purposes.

If we wanted information or recommendations on books to read, that was definitely what our English teachers were for. The library wasn't helping with that.

>>Is anyone forcing you to use a default?

> Why don't you levy this argument against yourself?

How? I don't feel forced by others having options or even the existence of a default.

>> Maybe being disgusted by others choices...

> This is, again, better levied against your position.

I'm not the one whose disgusted or even bothered. Not even by your opinion. (I just don't share it.)

>> How are you excluded because other people can make different choices?

> Because I cannot. By your own points, I can't express myself in a race-neutral way anymore.

Thanks for clarifying. IMO you can just accept the defaults, whatever their tone/complexion, and move on. I don't think anyone is bothered by yellow being an imperfect attempt at race neutrality, so long as there are options for folks to pick whatever they're comfortable with.

> I do not resent the mathematician. On the contrary, I aspire to their place

Those two do not follow. I resent the mathematician because the world can only afford to pay a small number of them (we need to eat and that consumes far more people), not to mention shelter and such - I'm not one of those society has chosen to do math all day (for good reasons - I'm not that great at math - my math minor makes me a better choice than average, but still not anywhere near good enough). Even those who do math all day are mostly professors who do math between teaching classes and advising students. The time / taxes that are spent from my paycheck to pay someone to do math is time that I'm working for someone else to achieve a peak that I cannot and without them I could work less (we are talking a second per year or something, but still...)

Yes I'm admitting to jealousy here. I aspire to their place.

> . I guess you see one and you think they are useless and should be writing code for an ad company somewhere.

You picked a bad example. I'd call most ad work useless too - they are not informing me of something new that I need but trying to get me to buy something either I already know about or worse things that would make my life worse.

At my first software dev internship my manager asked me to code in languages I was not trained in. I told him I would need some time to study up on these. He scoffed and said just look up what you need on Google. Initially I resisted, I felt like it was too shallow. That it was akin to copying answers I didn't really comprehend. However it didn't take long to pick up the habit. Learning is like going to the gym now, it's self enforced discipline

> getting so unbelievably tired of this smug comment

It's a dumb comment. But I find it interesting in how it reveals opportunities to leverage bridging expertise.

The infamous Dropbox comment [1] illustrated the complete lack of domain knowledge in marketing, sales and generally how non-tech people work that was commonplace among coders. A lot of people made a lot of money, and made a lot of other peoples' lives better, but bridging that gap.

This bus meme, on the other hand, illustrates a complete lack of domain knowledge around marketing and, in all likelihood, how governments and public transit work in the real world.

We can only ever have proxies. The issue (at least here) isn't Goodharting, it's that the proxy does not even measure what the researchers claim it measures. For example, pretty much the only study of its name, "High-Achieving Students in the Era of NCLB" (Lovelass, Parkas, Duffett) uses the NAEP, which only releases 10th, 20th, ..., 90th percentile scores. Gifted programs are ~95th percentile. Or, look at this lovely graph of 36 ACT scores:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Percent_ACT_Composite_S...

When it increases by 30x in 30 years, it becomes very apparent that standardized tests are simultaneously being gamed by the students and the testwriters. Students (and school districts and states) are choosing the "easier" tests that make them look proficient, so testwriters are making their tests easier to get a bigger market share. And all along, the tests that only care about separating out the top show declining scores every year...

After thinking of it for a while, I do not think it is such a big issue. The threat actor was probably an adversary to existing huntress customers and the EDR probably reacted to his tooling and mistakes.

When doing red team engagements, we do the same, install same security solutions as the customer and work around it. It could be what happened here?

That the analysts spotted him and were able to connect it to existing cases is just good craftsmanship.

I no longer feel that it’s relevant to discuss a red line here. Huntress just did their job.

I don’t think you need to be able to clone yourself to raise a child with broadly similar values to yourself. My point is that I don’t think you can simultaneously argue that the older generations were raised in a way that was succesful at making them religious individuals (in ways kids these days aren’t) and that that same generation is systematically failing at passing on religion to their children. Which leads me to believe these generational differences in religion don’t really exist

If we take "psy-ops exist"(In my head, "propaganda" is a type of psy-op, but I would not disagree if you drew the circle tighter than that) as a prior, I would have to ask why in the world congresspeople would not be subject to them, both to those that target a broader population, which they are still undeniably part of, and to those that target policy-makers specifically, because if you had the power to influence people, it seems obvious to me that you would target those that gave you great leverage.

The reductive "you just invented $existing_thing" framing is so tiresome.

There are so very many opportunities for a better surface transport system than buses. Dynamic routing and scheduling, capacity somewhere between a city bus and a taxi, and potentially better economies of scale all make this far more appealing than what exists today.

Also – and I know acknowledging this will not go over well in some circles – requiring an app and a credit card will go a long way toward keeping riders of a certain disposition off the vehicles. No, it's not a perfect proxy for who will and won't make riding unpleasant or unsafe, but riders will intuitively understand it even if they don't want to think about it, and it will make a difference.
