I yeah, I’m holding it wrong that’s the problem. Agile suffers from the “no true Scotsman” fallacy to a massive extent. If the methodology was any good nobody would be arguing whether they were doing it wrong or not.

My contention is not “holding it wrong”, my contention is that it’s irredeemably flawed because the nature of it puts 99% of the actual (not fabricated) work and responsibility solely on developers, making the project manages and BA useless noise you have to fight just to get anything finished.

Yes. Here's a relevant excerpt:

> No quiet, reverent cathedral-building
here — rather, the Linux community seemed to resemble a great
babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches (aptly symbolized by the Linux archive sites, which would take submissions from anyone) out of which a coherent and stable system could
seemingly emerge only by a succession of miracles.
The fact that this bazaar style seemed to work, and work well,
came as a distinct shock. As I learned my way around, I worked hard not just at individual projects, but also at trying to understand why the Linux world not only didn’t fly apart in confusion
but seemed to go from strength to strength at a speed barely imaginable to cathedral-builders.

>put up those numbers within a few years,

And potentially exceed Starlink cumulative payload a few years after that.

US via SpaceX generates most launches/payload due to reusability PRC built 2x more disposable launch vehicles. PRC figures out disposables and they can operate reusable fleet 2-3x the size of US and simply throw more payload per year and catchup/exceed cumulative SpaceX volume in a few years. A few years after, permanent kgs in space advantage due higher replacement as old hardware deorbits.

sure - but the model hasn't changed. I'm specifying it explicitly. But suddenly the context window has. I'm not using Claude Code, this is an application built against Bedrock APIs. I assume there's a way I could be specifying the context window and I'm just using API defaults. But it definitely makes me wonder what else I'm not controlling that I really should be.
Show HN: Kube-pilot – AI engineer that lives in your Kubernetes cluster
by noobernetes | 2026-03-14 02:49:43+00:00
I built kube-pilot — an autonomous AI agent that runs inside your Kubernetes cluster and does the full dev loop: writes code, builds containers, deploys services, verifies they're healthy, and closes the ticket. You file a GitHub issue, it does the rest.

What makes this different from AI coding tools: kube-pilot doesn't just generate code and hand it back to you. It lives inside the cluster with direct access to the entire dev stack — git, Tekton (CI/CD), Kaniko (container builds), ArgoCD (GitOps deployments), kubectl, Vault. Every tool call produces observable state that feeds into the next decision. The cluster isn't just where code runs — it's where the agent thinks.

The safety model: all persistent changes go through git, so everything is auditable and reversible. ArgoCD is the only thing that writes to the cluster. Secrets stay behind Vault — the agent creates ExternalSecret references, never touches raw credentials. Credentials are scrubbed before reaching the LLM.

Live demo: I filed GitHub issues asking it to build a 4-service office suite (auth, docs API, notification worker, API gateway). It built and deployed all of them autonomously. You can see the full agent loop — code, builds, deploys, verification, comments — on the closed issues:

- https://github.com/fbongiovanni29/clouddesk-auth-service/iss...
- https://github.com/fbongiovanni29/clouddesk-docs-api/issues/...
- https://github.com/fbongiovanni29/clouddesk-notifications-wo...
- https://github.com/fbongiovanni29/clouddesk-web-gateway/issu...

One helm install gives you everything — the agent, Gitea (git + registry), Tekton, ArgoCD, Vault, External Secrets. No external dependencies.

Coming next: Slack and Jira integrations (receive tasks and post updates where your team already works), Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards for agent observability, and Alertmanager integration so firing alerts automatically become issues that kube-pilot investigates and fixes.

Early proof of concept. Rough edges. But it works.

It’s almost shocking that people in an era of unlimited resources could see this was not renewable and important to hold, and that later in the era of limited resources, we decided to privatize this. It’s so shortsighted, willfully ignorant.

They are just covering all the market segments. This is for people who didn't want to shell out $1000 for a laptop for their kid, or have another one just to browse the web. Or they have an iphone but not a mac laptop, but now they might want one cause it's even cheaper than a phone. This will be pushed into schools probably as well.

Laurie Lee was born in 1914 and as a child, witnessed these changes, but he could also know from interacting with those much older, how little the basic rhythms of life had changed up until then.

Literacy in earlier years, from a quick search, still seems to be debated as the line for literacy is whether the person could sign their name to the marriage register, which is a low bar.

If I release something as MIT or Apache, all I want is some credit, either for my own self-satisfaction or for resume fuel.

If a library I wrote was used by BigCo, then I could point to their license file and mention that in a job interview or something. If they have Claude generate something based on my code, they don't put it into their license, I don't get the resume fuel, and my work is unrewarded.

I have gone back and forth about how I feel about AI training on code, and whether I think it's "theft", but my point is that the original code being available is kind of missing the point.

There’s something to be said about the visibility of gambling as a signal to people that someone may have a problem. Gambling on your phone just looks like being on your phone. It even improves access to the addiction. Needing to go to a casino looks a lot different, provides some friction, and could spur intervention. The same could be said about loot boxes vs buying Pokemon cards in a store.

I put the "driver" in quotes: it is not just about ability (let alone perceived ability), but also about equipment (car braking power, tyre quality in relation to road conditions), attention and driving style. You can be reasonably and objectively above average just by having great tyres and strong brakes paired with average attention (which you can control too) and average style/ability.

That's not what your previous post was talking about. But if you insist, at least make your point clear. "African Americans" and "Africans" are wildly different genetic populations that get subsumed under the same "Black" racial category in the US. Which one were you talking about?

The latter is more genetically diverse than any other human population by an incredible margin. Making generalized statements about them is impossible (including this one). As for African American populations, ancestry estimates of how closely related they are to African populations vary massively for each individual. Many people are much closer to "white" populations than any African population, due to the history of African Americans in North America. If you really mean race as a geographic proxy, the "black" label is simply confusing what you actually mean.

It's not just cheap UPSes, it's cheap surge protectors as well. They exist because the vendor can throw in a MOV costing a few cents and increase the price of the power strip by 50%, not because they're any good. MOVs are sacrificial components which have either degraded to uselessness by the time they're actually needed or, if they're still working, can explode or catch fire from the energy dissipated. Even if they don't, all they're doing is converting an x-kV spike on active into an around-x-kV spike on neutral or ground. If you want to do it properly, use a series tracking filter, not a "surge protector".

It was. In hindsight it signaled the beginning of the mass weaponization of the internet via social media. It also was NOT grassroots lol. It was very specifically and intentionally enflamed and groomed and funded by people like Steve Bannon and his good buddy Jeffrey Epstein. It wouldn’t have such a big Wikipedia article without them.

I expect it's a bit of both.

I can't speak for other parts of the world, but in the US, it's not uncommon for people to walk on eggshells while reporting information to coworkers (and especially managers) because there's absolutely a large cohort who will shoot the messenger. Crocker's Rules are undoubtedly a reaction to the extreme whereby managers in particular fail to receive receive crucial information because their reports are too afraid to pass it along.

In other words, people fail to communicate out of fear born from an assumption on how the person they're communicating with will react. The original quote would have you ignore your own fear and hand over the information, while your modified version would indirectly address your fear by refusing to take responsibility for how the recipient might feel. Whichever way you go with it, you're largely accomplishing the same thing.

No, the mods did not make a decision. It got flagged by an auto moderator bot, because of mass flagging. The mass flagging seems to be a brigade that happened on prior posts in that same subreddit discussing this topic of age verification. I don’t have any definite evidence, but it seems odd that a topic that is so relevant to that community would be flagged, so I assume it is a coordinated attack.

> just as I think its Leftist counterpart is equally flawed in its own way; there's more overlap between them than intellectually superficial partisan-minded people think

I'll give you that, and hopefully you can see that there is some common ground to be had.

What I see as the chief difference is that the populism hasn't take over the entire Democratic party, but rather is more confined to small vocal contingents (identity politics, eat the rich, etc). Or maybe it's more accurate to say that said populism is being prevented from taking over the Democratic party by the business interests that run the Democratic party, whereas in the Republican party the populism is compatible with the desired policies of the party's sponsors and is therefore allowed as a motivating force.

> it is important to realize that these are, in fact, the result of the procession of liberalism, not some repudiation or aberration of it. They are the way in which we can witness the self-immolation of liberalism as its internal contradictions, tensions, and weaknesses unfold in history. In other words, while liberalism flatters itself as the way to ever-greater freedom, its logic leads elsewhere.

I'm willing to entertain this, but you're going to have to lay out arguments for the precise mechanics rather than merely just asserting it. I can certainly fill in my own meanings for what you've said (eg the many terms used to criticize "liberals" like "identity politics" and "cancel culture" apply equally or even harder to the current Republican party). But I'm not going to make your argument for you!

Furthermore I'd point out that even if we're running aground because liberalism is running out of steam, this does not mean that the direction some people choose to respond in is attributable to liberalism.

> I, too, can reach for my personal family experience living under both fascist and communist regimes during the 20th century, and frankly, this ain't it, at least not yet

Would you please elaborate on what you mean specifically? Even though subjective through the eyes of your family, this would seem to lend itself to being somewhat objective criteria we could at least discuss.

I do have to ask though, about your hedging of "not yet". Do you not consider Hitler pre-Reichstag-fire as a fascist? If it walks like a baby duck, and quacks like a baby duck, does it not make sense to call it a duck?

> As with the insane "encryption is a weapon and cant be exported" policy of the 80s, this will surely force innovation to migrate outside the US.

Not advocating for this policy but if a critical argument against it is that policymakers can expect an analogous amount of computer innovation migrating out of the US as it saw in the 80s, then I think policymakers won't care remotely. Quite literally I think the lower bound for the proportion of global computer innovation happening in the US is 70%.

Very cool! Reminds me a bit of some formulas that are available in UltraFractal (and Visions of Chaos by the looks) called 'ducky' or 'ducks' fractals, here's a blogpost about them from Softology:

https://softologyblog.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/ducks-fractal...

I really like how Ducks fractals produce detail across the whole image (a pet favourite feature in fractal renderings), but I find that Ducks huge abundance of symmetries made them a bit less natural feeling, and have less variety than say, the cloudy 'inside' of a Nova-family fractal when relaxation is turned up.

I've passed that bottleneck with a review task that produces engineering recommendations along six axis (encapsulation, decoupling, simplification, dedoupling, security, reduce documentation drift) and a ideation tasks that gives per component a new feature idea, an idea to improve an existing feature, an idea to expand a feature to be more useful. These two generate constant bulk work that I move into new chat where it's grouped by changeset and sent to sub agent for protecting the context window.

What I'm doing mostly these days is maintaining a goal.md (project direction) and spec.md (coding and process standards, global across projects)

I do this too, really happy with my setup - I use hyper+arrow keys to move windows around a monitor (split in thirds on 40”+ or halves on the built-in screen), or jump to another monitor, and hyper+enter to fullscreen. When you push against an edge in full screen it reduces the window size in stages, it all feels natural.

- implement a keyboard based window manager
- arrange/quit/launch some things based on whether my MBP is docked or not
- resize and reposition certain windows that don't remember their own size and position
- certain other hotkeys
- probably stuff I forgot and rely on!

I'll be sad when it moves from Lua to JavaScript, but I guess that's better than moving to Tcl.

I have no idea if Meta is driving these, but the only way it would make sense for them to do it is if they saw age-verification as inevitable and would prefer to pass on the costs/liability of implementation to the app store providers. If they didn't see them as inevitable, then it makes no sense for them to be pushing for these as they are fundamentally against their own growth.

Israel is a pretty small country as I'm sure you know. The northern border is about 60km wide. As I understand it the big problem with drones coming from the north is that they are programmed to fly through valleys and the topography is mountainous which makes them hard to detect. Drones from Iran or Yemen have large stretches of open flat desert and have to cross very large distances. Another purely speculative thought is that the F-35s act as an airborne radar to help with detection.

Israelis get advanced warning for (most) drone attacks and have to go into shelters/safe rooms just like with missiles. There is a specific/different kind of warning.

AFAIK in the big attack last year these Shaed drones were shot down by jets with air-to-air missiles.

I served in the IAF on that northern border (not a pilot or anything like that but a somewhat relevant role) so at least I'm familiar with the topography and distances.

The other thing coming into play in Israel these days is the laser system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Beam I think it already shot down at least one drone.

Also- Thanks for your service and for the "insider" perspective.

> Apple software. It's buggy, uses proprietary formats that you can't export

Buggy sure, but proprietary formats? Calendar entries can be imported or exported as iCalendar .ics (RFC 5545), contacts as vCard .vcf (RFC 6350), photos as .jpeg or .heif (ISO/IEC 23008-12), books use the open .epub (ISO/IEC TS 30135), iTunes dropped DRM for purchased files in 2016 and uses mp4 (ISO/IEC 14496-14:2020) (though not sure what Apple Music streaming uses). TextEdit uses .rtf (a closed Microsoft format), and Pages, Numbers, Keynote use their own formats (as other office software does), but they import and export to many common formats. Notes imports and exports markdown (and you can always print/export as pdf).

What are the "proprietary formats that you can't export"?

ETA: Oh, Messages, yeah. To export those, you have to copy/paste a conversation, or use a 3rd party app, fair enough.

I was just thinking about Danger UXB recently and remember watching it on PBS with my Mom. Another show of that era that I remember loving was the miniseries of the Barchester Chronicles (adapting the first two of Trollope’s Barsetshire novels). During the DVD-by-mail era of Netflix, I revisited that one and it still held up, although I did not at the time realize just how star-studded the cast was.

Most people seem to think that phenomenon is not the same thing. People have shown by experimenting with different prompts that even in Mandarin, Claude correctly says it’s Claude when it is doing something for you. But if you ask it about its identity, it sometimes says DeepSeek. The current theory is it just has run into Chinese content that has chat logs that often have a DeepSeek model answering that it is DeepSeek. But the inconsistency in different prompts suggests this is something different from distillation.

Hi HN,

I’m a solo developer and I’ve spent the last few months completely rebuilding FX Radar from the ground up. My goal was to create a clutter-free environment for traders who are tired of the noise on mainstream financial sites.

What’s new in this 2.0 version:

Total UI Overhaul: Switched to a high-performance stack for a faster, cleaner experience.

AI Sentiment Engine: I refined the neural engine that processes headlines to provide real-time sentiment scores (Bullish/Bearish).

Integrated Trading Journal: This was the most requested feature. You can now log trades and automatically see the market sentiment context at the time of execution.

Executive Summaries: AI-generated "TL;DR" for complex financial articles to save time.

The platform is free to use (with a premium tier for advanced features). I’m looking for honest feedback on the UI, the AI analysis accuracy, and what other features a trader would find useful. Happy to answer any technical questions about the build!

Show HN: Vibe-budget – CLI to estimate LLM costs before you start vibe coding
by gabriel_quec016 | 2026-03-14 03:09:05+00:00
I built vibe-budget because I kept burning tokens without knowing
the cost upfront. You describe your project in plain English (or Spanish),
and it detects the tasks involved, estimates token usage, and compares
real-time prices across 85+ models via OpenRouter.

Example:
vibe-budget plan ecommerce with stripe oauth and supabase

It detects 4 tasks, estimates ~497k tokens, and shows you the cheapest,
best quality-price, and premium model options side by side.

It also has a scan command — point it at an existing codebase and it
estimates how many tokens it would cost to refactor or extend it with AI.

No API key required. Prices are fetched live from OpenRouter with a 1-hour
cache fallback.

> Betting billions of dollars on them still being around in 5-10 years is just not a wise decision.

Historically dynamic RAM has gone through several boom/bust cycles, oscillating between manufacturers struggling to break-even and cutting production and then a few years later not being able to make enough chips. I remember the late 80s being another time where companies were delaying new product launches because they couldn't get DRAM.
