> Don't get me wrong zfs is great - but it doesn't come with magical transactions.

I never said it did!

But if you have a snapshotting FS underneath, transactional software maintenance becomes an order or two of magnitude easier to achieve.

The underlying philosophies of Unix are "keep it in files" and "keep it simple". That's why it didn't even have a file-hiding mechanism -- the dot-file thing was an accental, emergent property.

Keep it simple, keep it visible, keep it human-readable and human-fixable.

Because the more complex you make it, the more likely it is to go wrong, and some poor sap is going to have to fix it. Do not get in their way. Instead, think about them, allow for that, and help keep their life easy.

> I didn't bother mentioning how long this problem had been solved.

The ironic thing here is that the person could go to ChatGPT (or whatever), describe the problem they're looking to solve, and ask it to find them the various ways it has been solved reliably (with links to the sources to confirm the information). And even provide some details on when each solution works best and why.

Because THAT is a great use for AI.

> it remains structurally constrained by separation of powers, federalism, and independent courts and media, features that fascist regimes systematically dismantle.

But the Trump administration (a.k.a. the executive branch) is trying to systematically dismantle these things. When people refer to fascism in the U.S. government, they don’t mean the entire government. They mean the Trump administration, which is the face of the U.S. government, has a great deal of the share of power, and is seeking more. The brand of far right nationalism, that the nation is in decline and violence must be used to restore it, along with the economic policies and deference to corporations and the wealthy, are things that make them more fascist than just authoritarian.

Saying that we cannot call it fascism until the transformation is complete doesn’t make sense - if a group of people have beliefs and goals that align with fascism, and are taking steps to impose them, you can call them fascist, even if they have not yet realized the full set of conditions that make the government fully fascist.

Jolla is dying as they are after profit not freedom or add something that truly makes a difference. Check how open is SailfishOS (it is more closed), how tablet project they preordered and never returned money. It is more a lie!
They sold to Russia (via VVP and Yandex) their OS! Seems nothing novel is there, this is why it did not had any traction.

Me too. I am exhausted by all the human slop constantly complaining about comments or posts being ai slop. I think I have had better conversations with bots the last few months lol.

This is everywhere not just HN: Reddit LinkedIn and twitter too. You are guaranteed to get 2 types of comments on anything you post:
1. Comments accusing you of AI slop (I call them human slop)
2. Comments by AI bots (surprisingly some are helpful and useful) at the end your bot will be a reflection of you.

Asshole humans will train asshole bots.

ps: I don’t even know how any of these sites can fight these bots. The LLMs are amazing and with openclaw and similar it’s impossible to detect bots vs humans.

Yeah, and it's been like that for years - the past decade, at least.

I've had a couple of Nexuses, a few of the Pixels, with a Nokia in the mix too. Never any problem - just log in, wait a few mins for the apps to automatically install and the data to backup/restore. The last upgrade included a separate work profile managed by MS Intune, and that was also smoothly handled by the upgrade process.

Yes, Whatsapp chat history has to be handled separately (as others have mentioned) because of the e2e encryption. The only other thing that needs doing is confirming that I want Firefox as my default browser when I first run it. Otherwise, it's all completely hands-off.

It’s only illegal if they don’t get away with it. Most get away with it in corporate America. If bad actors are going to push the bounds of the legal framework, good actors should as well when the rules don’t matter. “Fuck you sue me.” Operate from a position of being judgement proof. Laws are not objective, it’s all interpretative dance.

Happy to answer questions.

The EAV constraint came from a real frustration: I kept getting confident wrong answers from RAG pipelines and had no way to tell which parts were fabricated. I wanted something that would just say "not in your data" instead of guessing.

The biggest open question I'm wrestling with is ingestion friction — EAV is precise but you have to reshape your data first. Curious whether that feels like a dealbreaker to anyone who looks at it, or if it's acceptable given the tradeoff.

No, their lawyers did a fairly decent job of demonstrating that Greenpeace wasn't coordinating the radical protestors that were showing up to the protests, anymore than MAGA was coordinating all of the violent shootings by right-wingers last year.

They were never going to win the trial. More than half of the jury pool had ties to the pipeline industry. They were always going to find against Greenpeace, and they went to fairly extreme lengths to ignore the evidence presented to come up with a ridiculous damage award far in excess of the company's actual damages (even accounting for a punitive damage markup).

Will they win on appeal? Maybe pre-Trump they had a chance, but right-wing judges no longer feel bound by the law, reason, or equity.

Show HN: EvoAgents – Agents that evolve their own skills
by jatingargiitk | 2026-03-02 16:53:59+00:00
I built an open-source framework where multi-agent systems fix their own prompts.

Each skill is a structured SKILL.md. After every run, an LLM judge scores each skill and tags exact failures. An LLM patcher generates candidate fixes to just the failing section. Each candidate is replayed on past traces. Winner gets promoted. Loser discarded.

One command: evoagents autofix

Key decisions:
- LLM-as-judge, not regex — constraints are natural language, evaluation should be too
- Section-level patching — only the broken part gets touched
- Replay gating — no patch ships without proving it improves on real data
- Versioned — every change is a new version, instant rollback

You can steer it: evoagents autofix --guide "prefer primary sources"

pip install evoagents

> I continue to be surprised that so many developers and other tech nerds - the type who post on HN - chose and continue to choose the iPhone over Android when Apple dictates what apps they can install and locks third-party accessories out of certain features.

I ran Android since the beginning because I wanted to write my own software when I was in high school. I was on Android for something like 14 years. The other software I ran was never as good as my iOS compatriots. My software would crash, it looked worse, and it was generally lower quality.

Of course, there were exceptions, but not enough.

I switch to an iPhone a bit over a year ago and, while still having issues (especially recently), it's just such a better experience.

My computer is where I do my fun software development. I just want my phone to work, which my Android phones weren't. Whether the hardware, the OS, or the applications were at fault doesn't matter to me, because I just wanted it to work.

OpenClaw is not going away anytime soon. And I don’t think it can be platformed behind web UIs. OpenAI owns an OS with this one.

I avoided the hype at first; however, it has become extremely efficient for emails and notes, and I can see how this can extend to any sort of digital workflow. The convenience of chatting with this thing, no matter where I'm at, is a key marker.

I don't believe that will happen. The Constitution will continue to be paraded as a tool to attack perceived enemies and protect allies. We already see it all over the place when MAGA talks about the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

The hypocrisy doesn't matter to them because it isn't (and never was) about the "ideals" of the Constitution, it is about punishing enemies.

This is pretty much a losers statement. If humans can do something and it's either profitable or gives them some kind of power they will do it.

If this isn't codified in law or professional standards, these ethics of responsibility might as well be written on toilet paper.

"Great question. The key difference lies in the underlying alignment philosophy.

While models like Nano Banana or Seedance 2.0 (and certainly those from Google/OpenAI) have moved toward extremely conservative safety layers that often result in 'over-refusal'—even for benign creative prompts—Grok Imagine 2 is designed with a much leaner guardrail system.

It prioritizes creative agency and unfiltered expression (consistent with the 'truth-seeking' mission of xAI). In practice, this means:

Less 'Preachiness': It doesn't lecture you on why your prompt might be 'problematic' if it's within legal bounds.

Nuanced Realism: It’s more willing to render gritty, cinematic, or edgy aesthetics that others might flag as 'unsafe' due to strict corporate brand-safety guidelines.

Contextual Freedom: It understands satire and historical context better, rather than applying a blanket 'no-go' policy.

In the end though most of those 'sending a message' actions are just fancy virtual method calls (e.g. an indirect jump), everything else would be much too slow:

https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2017-06-30-dissecti...

IMHO the whole 'message' and 'sending' lingo should be abandondend, the job of objc_msgSend is to look up a function pointer by certain rules. There are no 'messages' involved, and nothing is 'sent'.

Only have tested around 4-5 tasks at the same time (since I don't want to end up with a large anthropic bill on this MVP just yet).

Management view isn't there yet — still focused on getting the core execution and scheduling solid before layering in observability.

For the agent communication - at the moment there is no connectivity between two spawned agents, unless one agent spawns the other. The system is task based with the task being the separation boundary, where agents can spawn agents if required by the task. For this what kind of use cases are you imagining ?

Also please feel free to pull it down and tinker with it! This is an MVP and more people playing and updating it will make it that much better!

Well first of all if thirty books disappear in one day, that's probably an inorganic usage. If none of them ever reappear, that's another indicator. And then if the person you see taking thirty books is dressed in rags with a shopping cart, you can be pretty confident.

No the way to do it is this:

Break the law, make $1B of illegal money, then get dragged to court and pay a $200M fine - while you keep most of the profit and your market position you illegally gained.

Bonus: Shield all managers from personal accountability, best in a way that they got their bonus and salary and moved on a long time ago before the verdict hits.

Best: Not get to court, but make an $100M outside court settlement.

The problem with the tractor analogy is that there is not much that can go wrong in digging with a machine versus by hand. However, AI, like people, makes non-obvious mistakes that require a high level of skill to catch.

For instance, what we're seeing with pure vibe-coding is that even the best models make small mistakes, usually in the architecture but often in even lower-level abstractions, that compound over time resulting in unmanageable complexity. Senior engineers are able to spot and fix these issues early based on intuition, but that intuition has come from a lot of hands-on experience.

Using AI for a given skill is becoming a separate skill in itself, for sure. But this still requires having an understanding of the original skill itself.

I think this requirement won't change until we have super-intelligence, where AI is consistently much better than humans, i.e. beyond AGI. Because even at human-level performance, the only human that can verify an expert's work is another expert.

> C++ is really not very amenable to this because every change to the contents of a class messes up your entire memory layout

I think even `dotnet watch` at some point nopes out when you change too much. I think they call it "rude edit" and ask you to completely restart the program in that case. So I don't expect every possible C++ edit to be manageable by hot reload. But changing a few if conditions or constants should be fine or not?

I'm more and more questioning scripting languages in games. What are the main reasons to use something like Lua? I think it's having not to rebuild the engine, no compile times, changing stuff while the game is running and being more accessible to non-programmers. But I think it's rather infuriating, all those points could be less relevant if the tooling for "real" programming languages was better. And with coding agents becoming more wide-spread I guess accessibility to non-programmers also becomes less of a point. I guess it's just my personal dislike for scripting languages in games, but really, it would be so much nicer imo if there was only need for one language that does it all. But seems like a difficult thing to achieve.

While I generally agree with your sentiment, these tools aren't bad ones:

- Santa is a very common tool used by macOS admins to lock down binary and file access privileges for apps, usually on managed machines

- Disk Inventory X and GrandPerspective are well-known disk space usage tools for macOS (I personally use DaisyDisk but that requires a license)

- WizTree and WinDirStat are very common tools from Windows admin toolkits

The only one here I can say is potentially suspect is ClearDisk. I haven't used it before, but it does appear to be useful for specifically tracking down developer caches that eat up disk space.
