Account was suspended permanently from hostinger
by piyushpine | 2026-02-23 22:52:34+00:00
Hostinger suspended my account permanently without prior notice, I didn’t take backup on local of db, code and files. Without notice they suspended account. Now they are not providing any backup of server.

“We understand your situation and the importance of your files. However, after a permanent suspension for severe abuse, Hostinger cannot provide backups, code, or access—even temporarily. This restriction is enforced to protect all users and comply with legal and security policies, and the decision is final and cannot be reversed.

We also cannot share the abuse report itself, as it contains sensitive information and is protected by strict privacy and compliance rules.”

Now what i have to do? I am using hostinger from last 3 years but suddenly this happened. I have all data on there server, all my and my team hardword on there server of last 3 years. If they don’t provide me a data, I will loss all work, client as well.
anyone can suggest, what I have to do. Anyone can help me?

> We'd need the story told by the children-turned-adults to make any fair judgement.

True enough. Of course, you are not going to get that in this case. All I can say is that those commenting here about potentially cataclysmic consequences are likely precisely the kind of people who will practice the kind of soft "friend class" parenting that can result in really troubled kids. If they even have kids at all, because some of the comments by others sound infantile.

The other narrative that is utterly false is that of role models in the negative sense. Almost all of you are one or two generations away from a culture and style of parenting where beating the kids was considered normal and even good parenting. An era where teachers beating kids in school was also normal and accepted. And yet, that has largely not survived the generational divide except in some segments of some cultures.

Raising kids and being a role model isn't a matter of single events or experiences, it is, like most other things in the human condition, a matter of building a relationship over time and understanding that life usually is a rollercoaster ride, not a straight-and-flat road.

> Every US company/citizen [...] if they bring it back to the US

Is that relevant here?

> Binance Holdings Ltd., branded Binance, [...] was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao. Binance was initially based in China, then moved to Japan, subsequently left Japan for Malta, and currently has no official company headquarters.

The founder seems to have been born in China and is Canadian.

I still also don't understand if Iran is supposed to be banned on Binance or not.

Maybe I'm just getting old but I dislike these implicit call to destructive action articles, even if I don't like the surveillance. It is not incumbent upon the public to destroy surveillance cameras, and it's probably a bad sign for society if they are. If you destroy one of these cameras you will probably be arrested, and it will ruin your life. We can elect officials who oppose these cameras, and encouraging people to destroy city property is not the move.
by burkaman | 2026-02-23 22:53:24+00:00
I think proactively passing a model ordinance is a good idea, but installing cameras is obviously not the only objectionable thing a police department can do. It isn't practical to make them get public approval for every acquisition regardless of cost, and it also isn't practical to brainstorm every possible bad thing they might ever try in the future and pass ordinances covering all of them.

I agree that the concrete bad thing that happened here is that cameras were installed without public consent. You are responding by saying "well the public should have predicted that and passed an ordinance before the police had a chance to try it". I am saying the police should be forced to consult the public when they make any significant acquisition, in any area, not just surveillance.

Perhaps the cost threshold could be amended to apply to the value of the good or services received, not the amount paid for them.

You also are not addressing the issue of government dependency on a private individual. Let's say Vegas has a public debate and decides they are in favor of cameras with no restrictions. Great, so is it now ok that Horowitz is donating them? No, it's still bad, because he might decide to stop being generous at any time, and then what happens? Vegas either suddenly loses an important service they depend on, or is forced to immediately pay whatever exorbitant price Flock/Horowitz comes up with.

Andreas is not some kind of hustler. He spent years writing an entire OS (Serenity OS) before the web browser part happened to gain traction. If you were just trying to be an entrepreneur, why do that?

The truth is more simple: he's a good engineer and leader, people recognised that and offered him sponsorships, and the project took off by itself.

Yes, I'm pretty confident you don't know anything about manufacturing at scale.

South Asia has people working in those factories that know what they're doing because they've been doing it for a long time. The US does not, as it has not done this before at a scale that's big enough to matter. Companies can temporarily migrate some of its existing workforce from South Asia and produce some RAM, but to scale that up they'd need a big pool of local people that know what they're doing to hand over those factories to.

It's not building extra factories that's the difficult part, it's hiring staff that knows how to run those factories, as the US has basically 0 talent pool to pick from at the moment. If a company builds a new factory in South Asia tomorrow, all they have to do is promote some of their existent staff up the chain and hire enough graduates to take their place. If they build a new factory in the US, they first have to teach people how to run that factory from scratch. They can only start teaching people when they have one factory up and running, and a lot of mistakes are gonna be made in that first factory due to inexperience.

Even if they had an unlimited budget, anyone that tells you they can scale up manufacturing in a completely new location in under a decade (and even a decade is like the best case scenario) is lying to you.

I really need to get pill-pilled so I can keep up with what people are saying these days. From Urban Dictionary:

> 1: being aware of a difficult situation or position and having a fighting "can do" attitude and not giving up, plus accomplishing said thing(s) within the difficult situation. 2: being optimistic, not merely through gut feelings but via having thought about a situation enough to understand how to get through it successfully

> Tom: How'd you get to the top of this business in just a few months of work?

> Jim: Working hard, working correctly, and taking the white pill.

> A small microcontroller with a relay tends to be more reliable.

Until some bug surfaces that requires a reboot to fix, but since the device is powered by a battery which isn't user serviceable and has no reset switch... The device I tore down this morning fits that description. I'll take my chances with a bit of calibration and some yearly maintenance. My vehicles all have grease points and maintenance schedules, I can handle also greasing my thermostat contacts ;)

That said, the regulators taking away the mercury switch isn't an excuse for the user hostility. They could have made a device that is less sketchy. Even if they actually did a great job and it's in fact much safer and more reliable than the analog device (in which case they should show data), I know I can open up the analog one and make it work. I can figure out how to keep it working. I can look at it and evaluate whether I trust it. I cannot do that with some proprietary blob on an MCU.
Show HN: Lens – a web dashboard for Claude Code configuration
by ugudlado | 2026-02-23 22:54:37+00:00
*Repo:* https://github.com/ugudlado/lens

Claude Code config is spread across 13 surfaces and 4 scope levels. Keeping track of what's actually configured — and where — means hunting through a half-dozen directories.

Lens scans everything in one go: see effective values merged across scopes, or break it down file-by-file. Edit, add, enable/disable entries inline. Switch between repos from the sidebar. Import config from another project when starting something new. `⌘K` to search across all surfaces and workspaces at once.

Install it as a Claude Code plugin:

```
/plugins add-marketplace github:ugudlado/lens
/plugins install lens@ugudlado
/lens:open
```

Contributions, ideas, and issues welcome — code is open for everyone.

We don't use AI to help write code due to copyright concerns, it's against our policy. We obviously need to be very careful with what we're doing, and we can't be sure it hasn't seen Apple docs or RE'ed Apple binaries etc (which we have very careful clean-room policies on) in its training data. It also can't be guaranteed that the generated code is GPL+MIT compatible (as it may draw inspiration from other GPL only drivers in the same subsystems) but we wish to use GPL+MIT to enable BSD to take inspiration from the drivers.
Show HN: Swiss Operator – Swiss-style Hugo theme for engineering and tech blogs
by carlosplanchon | 2026-02-23 22:54:43+00:00
Swiss Operator is a minimalist, Swiss-editorial Hugo theme focused on clarity, typography, and clean engineering-driven writing.

I built it because most Hugo themes lean heavily on visual noise, animations, or complex JS pipelines. This theme does the opposite: it uses a strict Swiss grid, balanced whitespace, and a two-column layout optimized for long-form technical or engineering notes.

It includes:
- Zero JS build pipeline (pure Hugo Pipes)
- Light/dark mode with persistent toggle
- Category color accents inspired by Swiss editorial systems
- Responsive 70/30 grid layout
- i18n-ready structure
- RSS support
- Local or Google Fonts (Inter + JetBrains Mono)

Demo: https://carlosplanchon.com
Source: https://github.com/carlosplanchon/hugo-theme-swiss-operator
Screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlosplanchon/hugo-theme-...

Open to feedback, suggestions, and critiques about the layout, typography choices, and documentation. This is my first serious dive in frontend :)

Its a correlation result and not causation. The author makes a mistake, off course. Mental diseases have effects since deep in a young age and push for increased marijuana use, but also nicotine, benzos and, may be, obesity, aggressiveness, school dropout, parent's divorce, low vitD and a long list of possible factors. All these will be correlations.
Show HN: Boardroom MCP - Multi-advisor governance engine for AI agents
by rsalars | 2026-02-23 22:55:08+00:00
Hey HN,

I noticed a recurring issue when building autonomous agents: they're great at execution but terrible at nuanced judgment. When faced with ambiguity, they just hallucinate the most statistically probable path without considering second-order effects.

Instead of trying to fix this with massive system prompts, I built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that offloads decisions to a multi-advisor "boardroom."

How it works:
1. Agent encounters a decision -> calls the `analyze()` MCP tool.
2. Server routes the query to relevant advisors (from 38 domains, 450+ profiles).
3. Advisors debate. This is the core mechanic: if advisors agree too quickly, the system flags it. Tension is mandatory.
4. The server synthesizes the debate, logs it to a persistent LEDGER (so the agent has institutional memory), and returns a risk-scored recommendation.

I built this locally so there's zero cloud dependency and your agent data stays yours. It works natively with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client.

You can checkout the core engine here: https://github.com/randysalars/boardroom-mcp
If you want to read the docs: https://salars.net/boardroom/docs

Would love to know if anyone else has experimented with structured multi-agent debate vs LLM-as-a-judge patterns.

Nice write-up! From the article:

> Instead of asking the model to choose a move, I asked it to write the logic that decides what a good move looks like. Once I reframed Tetris as a coding problem, everything changed.

Agreed. Nowadays the idea of invoking specialized MCP/skills is commonplace but OpenAI's ChatGPT was one of the first major LLMs to integrate with Python VMs that it could spin up as needed to workaround the inherent weaknesses of a language model.

These are two different kinds of rewrites, for two different kinds of codebases, in two different situations. The important thing is to know which kind of rewrite you're doing, and have the whole team onboard.

For a browser like Ladybird that's trying to not break the user experience, it's much better to have a pure translation step, and then try to improve or refactor it later.

I'm not so sure that Nouveau is slower than the proprietary Nvidia driver. I didn't run benchmarks on my personal use case but my subjective experience is that Nouveau might be faster. It's a Debian 11, X11, NVIDIA driver vs Debian 13, X11, Nouveau on the same laptop with a Quadro K1100mq. The desktop of the newer system seems to be faster. Of course it could be the sum of the individual improvements of kernel, GNOME, etc. I only move windows around my desktop, no games, so it's a very limited scenario.

All of these problems or equivalent still exist in EUV. Litho industry had to kind of rethink the source and scanner because it went from all lenses to all mirrors in EUV. This is also why low NA and high NA EUV scanners were different phases.

As I hear it, the decision had large economic component related to Masks and even OPC.

- have AI write a windows filter driver to capture all hardware communications

- have AI reverse engineer Windows WiFi driver and make a crude prototype

- have AI compare registers captured by filter driver with linux driver version and iterate until they match (or at least functional tests pass)

not exactly rocket surgery, and windows device drivers generally don't have DRM/obfuscation, so reverse engineering them isn't hard for LLMs.
by Nextgrid | 2026-02-23 22:56:26+00:00
Trial and error?

Just like it does when given an existing GPL’d source and dealing with its hallucinations, the agent could be operated on a black box (or a binary Windows driver and a disassembly)?

The GPL code helped here but as long as the agent can run in a loop and test its work against a piece of hardware, I don’t see why it couldn’t do the same without any code given enough time?

> I've been interested in doing something similar in the past, but I could really never solve issues like domain squatting and stopping individuals from claiming every name possible

I think that's just a property of a naming system. Without something like a centralized threat of force that can know every person participating in the system - there really is no recourse. The approach we are taking is making it difficult to create a speculative market around names which seems to be the driving force behind squatters.

Happy to discuss it in more detail: hackernews@sepositus.com

As someone trying to spec out a Ryzen workstation right now I can tell you it's actually harder because Ryzen (unlike EPIC) uses UDIMM ECC, not RDIMM ECC.
It's a niche that very few companies wanted to service before AI ram madness. Now the only vendor I can find is v-color:

https://v-color.net/products/ddr5-ecc-oc-u-dimm-server-memor...

But they no longer have 6000mhz stuff in stock (which is ideal for Ryzen due to the 1 to 1 speed match to the memory controller).

It's frustrating :(

As a parent, I think you’re understating how difficult it is to provide a specific amount of internet access (and no more) to a motivated kid. Kids research and trade parental control exploits, and schools issue devices with weak controls whether parents like it or not. I’m way at the extreme end of trying to control access (other than parents who don’t allow any device usage at all) and it has been one loophole after another.

It's also rare to just "discover" an entire continent that is basically free for the taking since Europeans annihilated native populations through disease and technological superiority.

Much of what makes America unique is tied to this essentially once in a generation event that will never happen again on this planet, a contingent confluence of Earth's parallel geographic and biological evolution... it's fairly easy to rebel or become a superpower when other powers have to contend with peer conflicts right on their borders. A break with England was inevitable why take orders from people an ocean away in the age of sail?

Rape is an act, not a gene. Genes can show where each ethnic groups travel however acts of rape in some countries are often unreported or under-reported for political or religious reasons. Many countries do not track the ethnicity of the attacker. Some cultures permit rape if the victim is not of the same religion but there we would delve into rather taboo topics as rarely discussed without emotion by western cultures.

“Mål” literally just means language, there’s nothing special or particular to Swedish regional dialects about it. You have the word “språk” from German “Sprach”, likely via Low German.

The term “dialect” is very fluid, and intelligibility is not a requirement. It is often a negotiated term that has more to do with culture or politics.

In China, they even call Cantonese and Hakka “dialects”, which is linguistically absurd, but serves a political purpose.

This comment is so naive and full of banalities I don't even know what to say, open a few history and philosophy books, these topics have been at the center of many deep and interesting debates over at least two thousands years and your take isn't even high-school level comprehension of the subject. If the end goal of societies was to stop crime we'd have achieved that a long time ago

I have nothing against AI myself, but it significantly changed how hackathons work.

One prominent example I won't name, I had attended over a couple years. Coincidentally,the timing overlapped with pre-LLM boom and post-LLM boom.
My first edition had zero usage of LLMs, the last had practically 100%, the rules were accommodated. The teams were no longer required to present a working example, a literal figma concept and a cool slideshow were more than enough.

I like the idea that people are either coders or builders. So AI can help fulfill your desire to build, create, bring things into reality. But it can't satisfy you if you like programming for its own sake. SerenityOS was not a practical project, it was clearly done for the enjoyment of programming itself.

The project's use of AI now echoes that - it's not being used to create new features, it's used for practical, boring drudge work of translating between two languages. So still very much on brand.

No. You might be thinking of Centipede? The original Space Invaders from the 1970s absolutely games over if any of the invaders manage to reach the bottom.

CRIPIX seems to be a new and unusual concept. I came across it recently and noticed it’s available on Amazon. The description mentions something called the Information Sovereign Anomaly and frames the work more like a technological and cognitive investigation than a traditional book. What caught my attention is that it appears to question current AI and computational assumptions rather than promote them. Has anyone here heard about it or looked into it ?

Magnetrons are cheap, reliable, and work well enough. Their one and only job is to produce energy at about 2.4GHz, and to make a lot of it. You merely put in electricity and through the magic of geometry you get RF out.

A transistorized solution is, simply, inappropriate. The RF section alone will cost more than an entire microwave off the shelf, and plus that you need all the control circuitry and high speed crap to generate a 2.4GHz tone. Not to mention that putting kilowatts through silicon creates a much higher risk of catastrophic failure: transistors blowing out into a plume of plasma and such.

You're asking why we haven't reinvented the wheel. There's simply no improvement to be had.

You want high power RF in a given frequency band, you want a magnetron. It's just a lump of iron with some wires. You don't need any electronics. At all.

No, they do not want to force publishers to keep a game online. The initiative just wants developers to provide a way for users to keep using a game after it has gone EOL by allowing users to run their own servers or by no longer requiring internet access.

See the FAQ[1]:

> Aren't you asking companies to support games forever? Isn't that unrealistic?

> A: No, we are not asking that at all. We are in favor of publishers ending support for a game whenever they choose. What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary. We agree that it is unrealistic to expect companies to support games indefinitely and do not advocate for that in any way. Additionally, there are already real-world examples of publishers ending support for online-only games in a responsible way, such as:

> 'Gran Turismo Sport' published by Sony

> 'Knockout City' published by Velan Studios

> 'Mega Man X DiVE' published by Capcom

> 'Scrolls / Caller's Bane' published by Mojang AB

> 'Duelyst' published by Bandai Namco Entertainment

I'm not sure what the question "What does it have to do with democracy?" is referring to. Some people find that no longer having access to video games they paid for isn't fair so are petitioning their governments for consumer protection against that.

GPL is not a patent. It covers the work and _derivatives_; it does not cover ideas or general knowledge. The chip in question has docs.

I fully expect that Claude wrote code that does not resemble that of the driver in the Linux tree. TFA is taking on some liability if it turns out that the code Claude wrote does largely resemble GPL'ed code, but if TFA is not comfortable with the code written by Claude not resembling existing GPL'ed code then they can just post their prompts and everyone who needs this driver can go through the process of getting Claude to code it.

Prompts cannot possibly be considered derivatives of the GPL'ed code that Claude might mimic.
