Human beings share our experiences with one another and reflect on them via storytelling. This has been our way for millennia, if not millions of years. No subject is too trivial, nor profound; too obvious, nor intimate.

Communication enables us to live lives we couldn't otherwise, accruing both lessons and solidarity. These are benefits of titanic value.

The long and short of it is, we've got to lie down, but it's hard to keep the dogs off the bed.

Hey! I'm a Lead Software Engineer and I always have a lot of tasks to run in parallel. I've been using Claude Code daily for a few months now and I love it. Recently I started wondering: why not create a tool to run multiple Claude Code instances in containers with full autonomy, orchestrated by one "Queen" and multiple "Drone" workers? The idea is to create tasks using Opus as the orchestrator and dispatch them to workers. I've completed a first version of the project - if you guys want to check it out and give me feedback, I'd really appreciate it!

you'd never be able to secure it, imo.

shooters are tricky.

not only do you need to produce an authoritative server model and incur all of the overhead costs of running that (if popular:untenable), you need to convince the playerbase that not only is the ASM trustworthy as far as decision making goes, it's not rigged purposely.

Since you'll be needing an ASM you'll be needing regional interconnects of some sort to provide a decent latency, or multiple ASM nodes around the world all together , all putting real work into the gameplay sim since client offloading will be impossible for most gameplay determination.

and with real money on the table the coders that spend their time exploiting free shooters for fun will turn and run towards your project.

...and I say all of this without touching on the actual money-handling part of this. The whole ensemble is tricky as hell.

I suggest trying to develop a regular old multiplayer shooter first to learn the foot-guns ahead of time. Easier without money on the line.

godspeed, but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with a project like that running.

That's exactly what I was wondering, since I vaguely remember that all this "copyrighted fonts" silly business boils down to the exact source code, and the same shape can be represented a hundred ways. So, what's the big deal, anyway? I never tried to do it, but I'd assume that to make a "different" copy of a font with minimal human intervention must be a trivial computing task by now. Sure, in theory there are subtleties like many possible ligatures and kerning, but I doubt it's really that critical. And it only matters if you only have a picture with so many latter combinations. If you have the actual font file, you have full information anyway.

And if so, why people still even bother with all that "font licenses" stuff and such? I'd think the only reason to buy a font by now must be when design studio actually does custom work for you. And the emphasis is on "custom", because it isn't truly "for you": anyone will be effectively free to use it after you use it once anywhere.

I think we have to enjoy what we learn. I have no motivation at all, to learn stuff I don't like doing.

In my case, I really enjoy coding, and making stuff that people use.

Part of the impediments that I have encountered, is other people's attitudes. As long as co-workers and technical peers thought of me as "competition," they would deliberately make it difficult for me to access the stuff I needed to learn.

LLMs have absolutely no fear of me, and gladly give me exactly what I need (sometimes, too much).

Person asking above question explains he doesn’t understand so I guess he also doesn’t understand prosecutors, lawyers, law enforcement, judges make mistakes.

So yes this is best explanation. Revealing everything might bring great harm to innocent people just because they were somehow mentioned in the documents.

Just add all the experience we already have with “internet investigators” that ruin people lives for petty reasons.

Molossia (/moʊˈlɒsiə/), officially the Republic of Molossia, is a micronation claiming de facto sovereignty over 11.3 acres (4.6 ha; 46,000 m2) of land near Dayton, Nevada, United States.[1] The micronation has not received recognition from any of the 193 member states of the United Nations.[2][3][4][5] It was first conceived by Kevin Baugh in 1977, before its official creation in 1998. He continues to pay property taxes on the land to Storey County, the recognized local government, although he calls it "foreign aid". He has stated that, "We all want to think we have our own country, but you know the United States is a lot bigger".

Those things you describe are jobs

Work is a term of physics; breathing is work. Eating is work.

Jobs exist because people are too lazy to do work for themselves.

What I want is no job and to work on my house, work in my food prep, work on interesting projects. Work on making the last mile stuff I need.

Work is great. Jobs are dumb.

I makes very hard to re-start a new article. Why start from scratch when we could re-use and improve the old article? This is discouraging.

I am moderately tech-savvy and had a WikiPedia account for years. But going into the deletion-review process WikiPedia bureaucracy is a lot of work. Pretty honestly I looked at the process and it looks so complicated that I think I would rather write a brand new article.

Thats an important point. You can't tell if the software you use is vulnerable to something like log4j without the vendor telling you, or doing lots of manual investigation.

SBOMs are supposed to help with software composition analysis. Basically, you as an enterprise have an inventory of what software you use, and their SBOMs (i.e. dependencies). I can then use this to automatically check which software is impacted by severe vulnerabilities when they are announced.

Geotargeting. I live in a semi rural area. My town has 1.1% of kids who are classified as ESL. There’s a much larger town near us that has 32% ESL and 70+% of Hispanic descent.

We get podcast and very infrequent YouTube ads in Spanish. So does everyone else we’ve talked to. When you use IP address databases it almost always says our IP addresses are in the other town.

>One key point is to use their initial output as a draft, as a starting point that still needs to be checked and iterated, often through pair programming with the same tool.

This matches my experience. It's not useful for producing something that you wouldn't have been able to produce yourself, because you still need to verify the output itself and not just the behavior of the output when executed.

I'd peg this as the most fundamental difference in use between LLMs and deterministic compilers/transpilers/codegens.

I couldn't agree more. Especially noise introduced by people around me. Drains me.

I'm not on a high horse either, I do succumb to modern temptations. I have a YouTube addiction, but its all educational / a topic I'm learning / a hobby / etc. I just got my Recap and somehow I have watched 4500 different channels this year, that's saying nothing of # of videos or watchtime. I was pretty shocked.

Still though, I purposefully make time to be alone and just daydream or relax and ponder. I don't use my phone while driving (besides maps etc). I try to put my phone away when others are around (unless we're sharing memes or photos or you know, actively using our phones together). I'm not a snob, go ahead and reply to your significant other while we're eating dinner - that's understandable. When I watch movies or TV (that I care about, I do keep old scifi on in the background while on the PC or doing stuff around the house) I am actively watching and do not touch my phone, and if I do need to I pause first.

The worst part? When you know someone is on their phone 24/7, phone in hand at all times, and you can't get them to respond to your calls or texts.

I feel like I'm bragging or showing off or something but I'm really not, just interested in how people interact with their devices, and their life.

People keep forgetting that the vast majority of billionnaire founders, including Musk, are good at finance. Not at anything else.

And Musk and Bezos' specialities are in the field of taking government subsidies. NOT making cars. NOT rockets. NOT delivery. NOT ...

So if you believe in them, you can bet money that they'll be able to attract more subsidies in the future. But buying a car from them is a bet that they produce good cars ... and it's just moronic.

For much of NATO history, the US is NATO. The US doesn’t want it to be like that anymore because it needs to strategically shift to the other side of the world. So, the US says “What if Europe can be NATO? If we can force them to meet the GDP commitment then maybe we don’t need to worry about them too much and commit less of our own resources to this theater.” But of course people interpret this as if the US is abandoning the alliance. No, the US just has other problems to deal with in the world.

Maybe, maybe not.

Some companies aren't very big, and neither are their budgets. And of course, it might be said that there is no solution more permanent than a temporary one.

We've got a large-ish color laser printer (IIRC, an HP 4600) at one of our locations. It's not a big place; it has only had as many as 3 people working there regularly and has been normally staffed by exactly 1 person for the last several years.

When we moved into that building, a missing link was noticed: The printer did not feature wifi, and there was no way to get a clean ethernet drop to it without visible external conduit. The boss man didn't like the idea of conduit.

To get it working for now, I went over to Wal-Mart and bought whatever the current rev of Linksys WRT54G was. I put some iteration of Tomato on it so it could operate in station mode and graft the printer into the wifi network.

I plugged that blue Linksys box in back in 2007; it turned 18 years old this year.

It's pretty little slow by modern wifi standards, and the 2.4GHz band is much more congested than it used to be, but: It still works, and nobody seems motivated to spend money to implement a better solution... so it remains.

Some work is exploited, in fact in this economy most work is exploited. If most people could work without being forced to work unreasonable hours, under stressful conditions, with ample free time, and without their bosses, or worse, their shareholder talking almost all of the profit they generate, most people would probably choose to work.

Most people like working, hardly anybody likes being exploited.
Show HN: I built a tool that creates videos out of React code
by mayankkgrover | 2025-12-24 10:45:38+00:00
The one-liner: You give it a script, it generates a portrait video in 10 minutes. No stock footage, no templates—it writes code that renders as video.

## Why I built this
We were building game dev courses at Outscal and needed to produce a lot of video content fast. Traditional video production was slow. AI video generators looked weird. So we tried a different approach: what if video was just code?

Turns out it works. We can replicate specific art styles, and the output is consistent and editable.

## What it can do
- Generate 30-60 second shorts from a script
- Match specific visual styles
- Let you fix individual scenes via chat if something's off

## What it can't do (yet)
- Custom art styles (we have a few presets)
- Run in a web UI (API costs are too high right now, so it runs through Claude Code in terminal)

Occasionally a shape might render slightly off, but you can tweak individual scenes through chat.

## How it actually works
The tool uses Claude Code to generate React components for each scene in your script. These components animate and render exactly like a video would. When you're done, you get a real video file.

It's not "AI video generation" in the usual sense. There's no diffusion model hallucinating frames. It's closer to programmatic motion graphics—but you don't write the code, Claude does.

## What I'm looking for
10 people who want to try it. Not paying customers—just people who make (or want to make) Short form and are comfortable enough with a terminal to run Claude Code.

You'd get access to our setup, and I'd want your honest feedback on what works and what doesn't.

If this sounds interesting, try the project on git, it is open-source.

I'm glad to hear LLMs help you out. They don't, here. Learning isn't the issue: I already have a wealth of information I can't put to use, or perhaps more accurately: won't be sufficiently rewarded for.

Perhaps I could use them for the parts I don't enjoy. Or I could... not.

It's all a wash, I guess is my point. While we're out here working, leagues are idling. I aspire to be more like them.

A relative of mine has managed building sites in the UK for decades. Nobody has ever died or had a life-changing injury. The site in the story has had multiple incidents just this year.

What's the difference?

The fines for safety failures leading to deaths in the UK are frequently six figures and sometimes seven. So management takes safety seriously and accident rates are very low.

It is about the money.

I’ve noticed that many IPTV services fail not because of content, but because of instability at peak hours.

From a technical perspective, what do you think matters most for stability:
- server architecture?
- load balancing?
- ISP routing?
- client-side buffering?

Curious to hear real-world experiences, especially from people who’ve worked on streaming or media platforms.

Some of the deleted pages never had the « sources missing » tag set for a significative time. It has been straight to deletion point.

Some pages that survived the deletion (e.g. TPRF) had the « missing sources » tag set since 15 years… What, I have to admit, can justify some action. But it was not the case for the PerlMonks and Perl Mongers pages: those just got deleted on an extremely short notice, making it impossible for the community to attempt any improvement.

No it's provided as part of the Android OS. Very simple and intuitive to use and has been for the past 10 years since I started using it. The only thing that was annoying initially was that you couldn't pass through the WiFi that your phone is connected to but I think that was corrected in later versions of Android. For a time I was using one of my older Pixel phones as a WiFi extender to improve signal in my home's basement. Worked like a charm. I'm honestly surprised this isn't available on iOS.

The article is very long and confusing to me. I think there are two main points in there, the stuff around them is more misleading than helpful to me.

The recent React/RSC/Next.js vulnerabilities were just bugs. Adding RSCs added some pretty complex new attack surface, and there were bugs in that. I think being skeptical about new, complex features like this is reasonable. But in the end there was nothing really new about these particular security vulnerabilities. If the framework has bugs in critical parts like this, your apps are insecure until those bugs are fixed or mitigated. I don't get why the author considers this a special case, all frameworks have critical parts that handle how the client data gets to the server. How these works is different, but in the end bugs in there can easily cause security issues.

The second point seems to be that it's easy to misconfigure Next.js middleware. I've read about that before, middleware in Next.js seems to be something that isn't actually middleware as commonly understood. That's a pretty big footgun.
by Ferret7446 | 2025-12-24 10:49:30+00:00
Oh sure, the format is standardized. The semantics aren't however, in any practical sense. What happens when you vendor/patch/fork a dependency? What happens to vulnerabilities that are not in code paths not used by your software, or only under certain flags?

HTML is standardized too, how many documents do you think use the p or i tags properly? Heck, how many documents do you think are HTML5 compliant, even ignoring the semantics?

(And even if it were, it is still much too bulky of a tool to replace lockfiles. Having to add a kilobyte to your file every time a bunch of new vulnerabilities get reported in your deps recursively sounds like a great addition to your commit history.)

> It would be bad for certain people to get him on a stand and force him to spill the beans.

Yep. I think this sort of thing is actually their biggest concern with releasing the docs. They can redact or lose documents that say anything directly incriminating about Trump and his associates and dismiss everything Epstein and testimonies from the 2020s say about him as confabulation, but there are other people who might want to take the administration down with them if they get caught or even just get fed up of being doorstepped by the media, and some of them might have receipts.
Show HN: Semantic Coverage – A tool to visualize RAG blind spots using UMAP

> strict ethical standards to not use the information (for what little that may be worth)

If it's worth so little to your eyes/comprehension you will have no problem citing a huge count of cases where lawyers do not respect their obligations towards the courts and their clients...

That snide remark is used to discredit a profession in passing, but the reason you won't find a lot of examples of this happening is because the trust clients have to put in lawyers and the legal system in general is what makes it work, and betraying that trust is a literal professional suicide (suspension, disbarment, reputational ruin, and often civil liability) for any lawyer... that's why "strict" doesn't mean anything "little" in this case.

The weirdest part about that is this administration was clearly willing to just stall and could have done what the CIA and FBI does all the time and just "disappear" all of the documents.

What would be the fallout? The Democrats are complicit, the regime all but controls the judiciary (at least the Supreme Court.) And a lot of these guys are billionaires and untouchable anyway unless someone does a Luigi on them. They have the ability to just brute force past the controversy and yet they've chosen to attempt the most ridiculously inept coverup possible.

On the one the sheer stupidity of this administration and its incompetence at implementing fascism means that as bad as things are they could be much worse. On the other hand I fear that once JD Vance or someone just as evil but without Trump's instability takes power we're going to wish we'd done something more when we had the chance.

I learned that a long time ago when I was a student and wanted to submit a pdf generated by a trial version of some software as an assignment and was trying to be clever and cover the watermark that said unregistered with a white box.

When opening the file in my slow computer, I could see all the rendering of the watermark happening in slow motion until the white box would pop up on top of the text.

They're wrong in everything but a meaningless "well technically" sense. People spouting "EU regulations strangle business" nonsense are never talking about the lack of capital markets union. Let alone in a thread about "iOS 26.3 brings AirPods-like pairing to third-party devices in EU under DMA".

> So in fact, this is a case where the answer is more EU (specifically, a better set of cross-country capital markets).

Can you give me a set of non-EU countries with better cross-country capital markets, that are as such now instead the place to build this? Especially for a set size bigger than 3? Serious question, as I've never heard of one and am fairly sure it doesn't exist, though I'd love to be proven wrong.

No, that was the 2010 "diplomatic cables" release. Basically, they disseminated an encrypted version of the data cache, and gave the decryption key to a few key people, including Guardian journalist David Leigh, with the expectation he'd report on the info without sharing sensitive intel.

David Leigh then published the decryption key in his 2011 book about Wikileaks (for some reason) and the info became publicly available. Everyone pinned the blame on Assange.

Moral of the story: journalists can and will disclose ridiculously sensitive info you give them for a bit of fame and you should be extremely careful about covering your tracks.

I have driven a forklift before. There is a reason most factories have strict pedestrian zones and a forklifts have priority policy: WE CANNOT SEE YOU! when there is a load we cannot see in front of us which mean we are blind. We normally drive in reverse but that means looking over our shoulder and in turn we can't see half because our necks don't move that much.

when around a forklift assume they don't see you unless there is clear indication they do.

i can't make out details from the article but I assume the forklift was working as expected.
