> Treating offshore wind like ports and pipelines from a security POV makes sense

No it does not. Even if you'd manage to disable an entire wind farm, the impact on the grid as a whole is negligible. An attacker has to spend a whole lot of effort on such an attack for very little, if any at all, gain.

In contrast, shell a port or the right piece of infrastructure [1] and entire economies can get wrecked. And shell an oil rig... I mean, I seriously hope even the Russians don't sink that low but hey they did attack a goddamn NPP and a hydropower dam... anyway, taking out an oil rig risks an environmental disaster similar to Deepwater Horizon. That's a lot more effect for an opponent.

The actual threat to wind farms is software. We've seen that in the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine - the Russians took down satellite modems [2], causing about 6000 wind turbines to lose their command infrastructure and thus stop generating power.

IF we develop beyond earth...then AI, robots and connectivity will likely be huge parts of it.

+ spacex already is the best way for many payloads to get to space.

+ starlink is already the best low orbit based connectivity solution.

+ x is already a great way to train virtual world AI.

+ tesla (and its robots) is a great way to train physical world AI.

+ space takes big $ and talent - this combo would have both.

the IF at the top is just that. but feels like an interesting convo for this crowd.

You're right, and I apologize for the inaccurate information. Cloudflare Images does support on-the-fly transformations via URL parameters.

In fact, img-src.io's infrastructure runs on Cloudflare, and I initially considered wrapping Cloudflare Images for the transformation layer. However, the cost of scaling became prohibitive—if 100k free-tier users each transform 1k images, I'd be bankrupt. So I built a custom transformation service using libvips (which Cloudflare Images itself uses under the hood) and deployed it on Cloudflare Containers.

You can see the architecture here: https://docs.img-src.io/introduction#how-it-works

To be clear, this service isn't targeting folks like yourself who can spin up image transformation infrastructure in their sleep. It's for developers who find infrastructure setup tedious or daunting and just want simple image transformation with CDN caching out of the box.

Thanks for the feedback

Okay, but a human being represents what, 200 W of power? The ISS has a crew of 3, so that's less than a beefy single user AI workstation at full tilt. If the question is whether it's practical to put 1-2 kW worth of computing power in orbit, the answer is obviously yes, but somehow I don't think that's what's meant by "datacenter in space".

IIRC the mandatory components are the init system, udev, dbus, and journald. Journald is probably the most otherwise-optional feeling one (udev and dbus are both pretty critical for anything linux regardless), though you can put it into a passthrough mode so you don't have to deal with its log format if you don't want. Everything else is optional.

I quoted the documentation that claims _something_ is pipelined.

That is extremely vague on what that is and I also didn't check that it's true.

Both the original claim "the issue is the serialization of operations" and the counter-claim all sound like extreme guesswork or me. If you know for certain, please link the relevant code.

Otherwise somebody needs to go check what it actually does; everything else is just speculating "oh surely it's the files" and then people remember stuff that might just be plain wrong.

We do have smaller regional airports in the US, but those smaller airports do still have TSA-staffed security if they serve commercial flights. The TSA considered eliminating security at those smaller domestic-only airports back in 2018, but after it hit the media, they reversed course on it.

The only exception would be airports solely for things other than commercial flights, like hobbyist pilots/flight schools where people are flying their own planes, or airports serving only government/medical/whatever "essential" traffic. Airports that don't have TSA-staffed security are still under TSA jurisdiction, and have to pass regular inspections by TSA to ensure their own security's at a sufficient level.

> This isn't a problem that needs solving at scale.

If it's a problem across the US, in multiple states then yes. It's a problem that needs to be solved at scale, because it's a problem innate to the US.

> It's a problem that needs local/hyperlocal solutions with very strict strings attached.

Means-testing doesn't work either. It's been tried. It usually means 'convert to our religion or you get no benefits' or 'gays do not apply'. See: Salvation Army.

> If we're not able to monitor the outcomes of each participant and ensure not a single drop of benefits aren't spent on no essentials (self improvement allowable), then we are wasting dollars on lazy.

This is just the usual 'lazy poor' rhetoric. It's out of date by about 15 years.

Show HN: forestui – TUI for git worktrees with Claude Code + GitHub integration

I built forestui to manage the chaos of working on multiple features/branches simultaneously. It's a tmux-powered TUI that orchestrates your worktrees, editors, terminals, and Claude Code sessions across organized tmux windows (edit:repo:branch, claude:repo:branch, term:repo:branch). Switch contexts without losing state.

Why? Git worktrees let you have multiple branches checked out at once without stashing or juggling, but I find managing them with raw git commands painful.

What it does:

- Worktree management: Create, rename, archive, delete worktrees with single keypresses. Each worktree gets its own directory, so you can have feat/auth, fix/bug-123, and main all open in different editor windows simultaneously.
- GitHub integration: Lists your open issues directly in the TUI (using the gh cli). See an issue you want to work on? One keypress creates a worktree with an auto-generated branch name (42-fix-login-bug) and optionally pulls latest first.
- Deep Claude Code integration: Tracks sessions per-worktree, shows recent sessions with message counts and last activity, resume any session with one keypress. Also trigger Claude's YOLO mode for fast iteration in a wt using a single button press.

Tech: Python 3.14, Textual for the TUI (app is fully reactive and works with mouse well), Pydantic for models, libtmux for tmux integration. Strict mypy, async everywhere so the UI never blocks.

Install:

# One-liner (installs uv if needed)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flipbit03/forestui/main/install.sh | bash

# If you already use uv
uv tool install forestui

Auto-updates on startup via uv. Requires tmux and, optionally, the gh cli.

Hope you enjoy!

> he made the best selling car in the world 3 years running

Not only did Elon not found Tesla[0], but many employees have described the "babysitters" or "handlers" who are responsible for making him feel like his ideas have been implemented, so that his caprice and bluster don't interfere with the actual operation of the company.

To give him his due, he's a phenomenal manipulator of public opinion and image, and he certainly has invested a lot of his emerald-generated wealth into numerous successful ventures - but he himself is not a positive contributor to their success.

This is what I've been doing. Iterating on specs is better than iterating on code. More token efficient and easier to review. Good code effortlessly follows from good specs. It's also a good way to stop the code turning into quicksand (aside from constraining the code with e2e tests, CLI shape, etc).

But what is your concept of "stages"? For me, the spec files are a MECE decomposition, each file is responsible for its unique silo (one file owns repo layout, etc), with cross references between them if needed to eliminate redundancy. There's no hierarchy between them. But I'm open to new approaches.

At best, he should be a persona non grata across just about every aspect of society.

Even if you discount all the Nazi crap, he's directly responsible for deaths of 600,000+ people, mostly kids, for his illegal destruction of USAID.

What a tremendous failure it is that this guy is still allowed such a prominent place in society.

How does this result in better literacy rates and how might the educators and administrators prevent these new identifiers from forming into “castes” of their own? Can’t parents and teachers sort of gerrymand the program. Don’t children (like adults) want to bond over shared “identities”, individuality not withstanding?

My interpretation of your proposal is that each cohort is taught to read in a way that’s supposed to correspond to their respective strengths and weaknesses. In a way I don’t see how this is too far off from figuring out better ways to teach boys how to read; if a better way to teach girls is discovered in the process then is that okay with you even if both methods differ and say…learning had to take place in separate classrooms because of it? I don’t imagine the system you theorized would be any different with regard to separation.

I’m sure that in theory every cohort wouldn’t be a 1:1 match per teaching method, there would probably be some overlap, mixed classrooms so to speak, all getting taught the same way.
But with so much emphasis being put on the eradication of “castes” it begins to feel like getting the kids to just be able to read is lost and used as a front for some other agenda.

Literacy rates in general are low and boys have typically done worse but in addition to other factors that might not have always been normal (e.g. low percentages of young men in college compared to women), the present decline will likely affect young men the most in the long run and if overall rates continue to decline young men when probably be only qualified to pick fruit and pack boxes, have sex and play games for a living. Until the thrill of the last two wear off. It doesn’t take a long perusal through the news and history books to see how society is shaped by the decisions and dispositions of men. They’ve seen other “identities” (borrowing your quote marks) over the last few years receive attention and treatment in some fashion. If no one is willing to give them the same opportunities then enjoy the Nick Fuentes/Nicki Minaj administration in 2032.

That makes me wonder about the "higher and higher-level language" escalator. When you're writing in assembly, is it more work to write the code than the spec? And the reverse is true if you can code up your system in Ruby? If so, does that imply anything about the "spec driven" workflow people are using with AIs? Are we right on the cusp where writing natural language specs and writing high level code are comparably productive?

This is a great retrospective on the cat-and-mouse game between Apple and the jailbreak community. It captures a fundamental shift in the industry: how we traded the freedom of "owning" our hardware for the convenience of a "secure-by-design" corporate ecosystem.

As security gets tighter, the friction for hobbyists increases. I'm curious to hear: do you think we've reached a point where the loss of device sovereignty is a fair price to pay for modern security?

There are many stories on r/ClaudeCode of developers realizing the power of that particular model.

Think of all the solo developer webapp/mobile "hot" startups (FB, Craigslist, Instagram, SnapChat, Pinterest, etc.).

It is no joke that a seasoned developer can build similar apps with Claude in...days. Not just the app, but the entire infrastructure (e.g. scalable on AWS using Terraform). This includes setting up domain registration, Elastic IPs, provisions the instances, setting up keys/ELBs/email server/Twilio/etc.

What is astonishing is how well Claude can plan. You write a spec, and it will give you an entire plan including ASCII UML diagrams, infrastructure changes, database updates, the code itself, user stories, and test cases. It will then do all the work, including "tricky" things like SSHing over a bastion to run the scripts that it wrote on an instance behind a VPC.

The main obstacle now is the context window. If it were to increase 100x or so, Claude could probably manage an entire software company's codebase at scale.

I'm sorry to say, but there's no way you could use Claude for a month or so without feeling, "We are going to need way fewer software engineers."

The comments so far seem focused on taking a cheap shot, but as somebody working on using AI to help people with hard, long-term tasks, it's a valuable piece of writing.

- It's short and to the point

- It's actionable in the short term (make sure the tasks per session aren't too difficult) and useful for researchers in the long term

- It's informative on how these models work, informed by some of the best in the business

- It gives us a specific vector to look at, clearly defined ("coherence", or, more fun, "hot mess")

I don't know if my point is valid or not, but...

Stop blaming "AI" - whatever you mean by this. Whether it's an LLM, an LLM-based agent or something else - stop blaming AI and "AI" and LLMs and... you get the point.

It's not the AI that makes the decision to, sorry for being straightforward, write the worthless code which feels like a piece of useless bloated trash. It's not the AI who makes decisions to do something without even understanding the topic - no matter how exactly you define "understanding" in this context. It's not AI who is responsible for this. Because whatever AI truly is right now - an autocomplete tool, advanced chatbot or, maybe, agent - whatever it is, the decisions are made by humans. AI is not responsible for anything that is happening right now.

Humans and humans only are responsible for what's happening. It's their choice. It's their qualities that are clearly visible now. It's their behaviour.

Stop blaming kitchen knives for murders.

The midterms this year can already seriously throw wrenches into the Project 2025 plans. Trump's failure to address the economy situation, the constant and ongoing wars, ICE seriously disrupting agriculture and construction sites, ICE executing white people in front of cameras [1] and now the latest Epstein crap... Democrats are flipping what used to be solid-red seats these days.

People are fed up. Assuming there will be free elections - as absurd as it is to even write this sentence referring to the US, but here we are [2] - it most probably will end in an utter wipeout for MAGA. They'll have the President, of course, but assuming the Democrat leadership finds some spine - again, an assumption, given Schumer - stuff has the potential to change.

On top of that are state and local level elections that are all the time. Stuff like school boards, sheriffs, whatever that is where MAGA and the Evangelicals built out their initial networks. All of that can be flipped around as well, if people actually bother to show up and vote.

[1] See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_by_U.S._immi... - it is notable that widespread outrage only followed after the execution of Renee Good and Alex Pretti

To elaborate a little, I told them that usually during this process you'll bounce back and forth a little bit. You'll notice while your coding something up there was something you didn't understand and so you drop back, understand, and then move forward again. So there's some back and forth, but hopefully general progress is forward.

As for iteration, there's a little bit of iteration in every phase. But there's also iteration over the entire process. Once you've understood the problem, come up with a plan, coded it up, and look back to see what could have been done better, it might be time to re-understand the problem.

The constitution doesn't provide a "common sense" loophole. Much of it is written in absolutist language because that was the actual intention. The amendment process is provided to open "common sense" loopholes if everyone agrees they are common sense, not for the courts to gradually erode the language until the federal goverment is doing things the founders explicitly fought the revolutionary war over.

Put another way, Writs of Assistance, were perfectly legal common sense way for the British government to assure their customs laws were being enforced, and it was one of the more significant drivers of the revolution.

But that is also just an assumption isn't it? Could this not also be related to the fact that they plan to launch a ton of servers into the sky to run in space and power AI? It would mean that their AI product would become heavily based on the services provided by SpaceX via launching all this.

But regardless, I think quotes like these should have some commentary around them as it helps create a discussion around whatever point they might be trying to make rather than having to make assumptions.
