"where agents would ever be better than workflows"
That is a very important observation and we should avoid to let agents go the way of the blockchain -- you know what I mean.

I have build a narrow AI for credit decisioning on a 100B portfolio between 2012 and 2020. This "agent" can make autonomous credit decisions, if and only if the agent is 100% certain that all inputs are accurate. The value comes from the workflow, not the model.

LLMs change this as there is now a general, I like to call them vanilla models, that does not specifically be trained to the data set. Would I use that in this workflow? Likely not.

(a) it is likely that the narrow model is cheaper to operate than a larger model without seeing a substantial benefit in productivity.

(b) in regulated industries we always need to be able to explain why the AI made a decision. If there is no clear governance framework around operating the agent, then we can't use it. Case in point > "nH predict"

Also stated as "security happens in layers", and often obscurity is a very good layer for keeping most of the script kiddies away and keeping the logs clean.

My personal favorite example is using a non-default SSH port. Even if you keep it under 1024, so it's still on a root-controlled port, you'll cut down the attacks by an order of magnitude or two. It's not going to keep the NSA or MSS out, but it's still effective in pushing away the common script kiddies. You could even get creative and play with port knocking - that keeps under-1024 ports logs clean.
All in under 2 hours. You were totally nerd-sniped.

Can you tell us more about the touch screen? Is it only taps or will it support interactions using drag gestures too? How good is the accuracy, how many different simultaneous interaction surfaces can there realistically be?

Is there an emulator available somewhere where one can start prototyping an app with tap support?
Turkey has a rich history of coups. But when secular parts of the armed forces tried to oust Erdogan's regime by force in 2016, he didn't just fight them off but used the event as a justification to clean house and prevent these things altogether. He's pretty much following Putin's approach at solidifying his position. So 2016 was essentially the death blow to their democracy.
Can't get into it. But whatever about me, the wife straight up hated it. She's not a fan of LOTR and it felt way too LOTR, story wise. You're supposed to love the (beautiful or cutesy) entities, hate the (ugly, so obviously evil) entities, and care about wherever mysterious evil has gripped the land. You're supposed to want the protagonists to go on a quest that brings you on a rollercoaster of emotions etc. But I don't really care enough about anyone in this to finish the first episode.

My biggest gripe is that puppets have no facial expression, so this so-called "amazing voice acting" doesn't work for me. It feels like they're overacting to make up for lack of facial expression. Thing is, I've seen this work in shows like Yonderland where puppets make up less than 50% of the cast. If their human counterparts are good actors, the puppets interaction with humans work, especially if they have good lines and interesting characters (which, in the case of Yonderland, they do but with Dark Crystal they very much don't).

It's odd, but I also think that the CGI and lack of any physical actors is what kills this for me. I don't know anyone in the acting profession but one example I can relate is the amazing "Yes, Minister" political comedy series from the BBC on the early 80s. That was originally available as a radio show. Having watched and loved it, I decided to put the radio version on one day while cleaning. I had to turn it off. Even though it was the same cast of great actors, I think the fact that they were sitting around a bunch of microphones and not inter-acting completely stunted the dialog. I decided to put on the TV version and simply listen to it. Even though there were visual gags I couldn't see, it was far far better. Something about being the characters in costume, on a set, interacting with other actors, injected vitality and comic timing into the performance. You could listen between the lines and feel the gags you couldn't see.

I understand that a lot of time, effort, CGI went into this, but I just feel slapped in the face with beauty while not caring one jot about a single character. Or as the wife very uncharitably put it after 45 minutes "I hope all of these characters die in this".

Sometimes there are adult shows that also appeal to kids. Sometimes there are shows that appear to be aimed at kids but are really aimed at adults. But this wants to be the latter and fails as either.
Is that really the reason for these stories? I only know about them from memes, and looked it up when I first read about it. In my language this trend hasn't caught on yet, thankfully. I always chalked it up to cultural differences (and judged Americans a little bit for it tbh, since the idea of integrating a story into a recipe sounds rather insane).
the ATProto missed a lot by using websocket.

If it allows polling static pages, then everyone can host their timeline on Github Pages or something. That would be much better decentralized.

1. It is extremely resource-efficient.

2. It has a convenient and simple query language.

3. It works very well with traces and metrics.

the pain part:

1. It struggles to query logs over a wide time range.

2. Its indexing (or labeling) capabilities are very limited, similar to Prometheus.

3. Due to 1 and 2, it is difficult to configure and use correctly to avoid errors related to usage limits (e.g., maximum series limits).
it’s a total distortion of what the phrase means.

Security through obscurity is when you run your sshd server on port 1337 instead of 22 without actually securing the server settings down, because you don’t think the hackers know how to portscan that high. Everyone runs on 22, but you obscurely run it elsewhere. “Nobody will think to look.”

ASLR is nothing like that. It’s not that nobody thinks to look, it’s that they have no stable gadgets to jump to. The only way to get around that is to leak the mapping or work with the handful of gadgets that are stable. It’s analogous to shuffling a deck of cards before and after every hand to protect against card counters. Entire cities in barren deserts have been built on the real mathematical win that comes from that. It’s real.
> Does this reveal an inherent tribalism in our thinking?

Yes, it does. We are humans too, not some upper cast of society that is permanently immune to prejudice, emotions and media influence reinforcing the former two. Unfortunately, it is not only Romania that is straying away from democracy. Bulgaria, another EU member state, and by coincidence (or not) a neighbor to Romania, has also been degrading significantly in this regard. To quote a couple of examples:

- A referendum on the topic of delaying Bulgaria's entry into the Euro zone (replacing national currency with EUR) was not allowed to take place by the parliament and subsequently the constitutional court (with really hard to understand and controversial argumentation).

- There were lots of violations during the last elections that were investigated selectively and following a questionable and non-transparent process

- Protesters being detained for a month for throwing eggs on a building - a highly disproportional measure, given the severity of the violation.

China isn't trying to buy Greenland — currently part of Denmark — and refusing to rule out military force when the inevitable answer of "no" is given.
Not the person you're replying to, but I think most opinions here on what to do (including my own) won't bee that helpful. While there are some people who post on HN who have been where OP is now, there are not that many, and those of us here who are financially secure and have never been close to homelessness probably have no idea what we're talking about when it comes to finding stable housing after having lived in your car for a while.
If that were the Windows source, you wouldn't have been able to find it. Parts of the "driver" would be found in seventeen different systems, using seventeen different styles of coding, using macros that look the same but act differently in different files, leaving the driver as nothing more than a side-effect of the whole.

„Typo“. Editing previous responses to guide the discussion is bad manner. But what else to expect… Frankly, I struggle to understand why you feign knowledge you don't possess. Instead of simply admitting a lack of understanding, you double down, revealing an even deeper lack of technical expertise with each post. Even unasked like in your last response. Boggles the mind.

Tell HN: Browsers accept SSH:// protocol links
Wow, i mean, I'm amazed. I thought i knew a lot of the standard "intent" protocols (mailto, tel, itunes related, skype, etc) - I had no idea ssh was supported. It's pretty cool that SSH is supported.

With a definition like that, the US won the Vietnam war too.
Just like russia using ukraine neonazis as one of pretexts of the war, while sporting much larger (and government+orthodox church-controlled) population of such themselves.

Using such arguments shows how critically thinking (and actually free) population given state has. They wouldnt use it if they would be scolded and mocked from majority.
I just can't understand, if they are suffering all that, why they didn't jump at the chance for their own state one of the many times they were offered one. It's not as though Mahmood Abbas or Yasser Arafat are hated Palestinian figures for turning down a state. Something else must be going on.
And the only people who begin an argument with an ad hominem understand they have no argument at all.

I don't believe that the people who are dying in Ukraine after Starlink pulled out struggled to see reality as the bombs fell. I don't believe that all of the "parasites" as Musk calls them were terminally online before they lost their social security. I'm sure the many veterans he made jobless had a good dose of reality on the battlefield while serving the US. I don't believe that the leaders of so many countries in Europe and America are spending all of their time doomscrolling and I don't think Germany is starting investigations into electoral fraud on the basis of something they saw being terminally online.

And is this worse than what he's done? There are no calls for vandalism, it's only personal details. There was no threat implied wegen he shared the personal details of the daughter of a judge he disagreed with with millions of people right?
Ah yes, this is nice but it sounds like Gentoo with extra steps. Probably also some extra benefits. But there is a reason we don’t all run Gentoo. Although given a large and seamless enough cache, maybe we would.

> They could have been rescued, but were left on the station until after the election

This continues to be silly. There were changes to Crew 9, last summer, when it was decided that it would be logistically easier for two (instead of four) astronauts to go up and the two Boeing crew would come down with them on the Crew 9 craft in February/March 2025 (that would be now). This has always been the plan, the only politics being injected here are people insisting on grandstanding and making drama where there is none.

You can disagree with the decision (though, again, why), but it was a decision. There was no dereliction of duty, no stranding of astronauts since September, and this was not some high-stakes rescue.

This brings back so many fond memories. I grew up in a rural part of Kenya where the internet was scarce and tech practically non-existent. I was interested in web dev and taught myself PHP using HTTrack to download the php manual site, then the cprogramming.com website. I remember writing these site contents onto a thick notebook to read in school. Cprogamming.com imho was my programming foundation as I treated it as programming gospel. That kid back then would be shocked at how far I've come, now a dev at MS. Not sure how I came across httrack back then but I am so glad I did

The US aren't trying to buy Greenland as they haven't made any offers (as far as we know). They did make an actual offer in 1946, though, and that apparently didn't sour relations...

Trump's way seems to involve a lot of bluster so seeing through it, what are they trying to do, really?

Apparently there has been a surge in pro-independence parties in the latest elections in Greenland, perhaps that is a clue.

A side note is that Denmark hasn't been very strategic. They let Greenland leave the EC/EU, they let them self-govern... this is a path to losing it altogether.
This whole thing has made me very angry.

they were not trapped or stranded... they were re-scheduled.

This sort of shit happens a lot. the whole "stranded" wordage is being repeated by the MSM seemingly at the behest of the Trump administration and associated cronies.
Not sure if this is what they meant, but Reddit is just Facebook for younger people. The outrage is the same, the click bait, the like hunting and the general attention seeking. There's some good stuff, absolutely, but the same is true for Facebook.

If you're not part of a sub-culture, and a narrow one at that, then Reddit content is pretty much your run of the mill click bait. Just like with Facebook, I think that the good Reddit content is either in private or really niche sub-reddits. Things like AskReddit, Politics, AITA or any of the subreddits linked at the top of site, they are all pretty Facebook like content, just spewing out much faster.

"accept" on Chrome/OSX meaning "throws to the terminal" which in many ways is pretty much what you'd want.

perhaps other browsers internalise this into a soft term in WebGL or something but I am content if I click one its normal SSH .ssh/config parsing and normal ssh-agent keys.

But now I wonder if there is some information leakage risk here. Aren't I going to reveal my key existences to <outside> from this? Feels like somebody can scrape my keyID and then track me in flow somehow unknown from this.
That is going to heavily depend on the judge and potentially jury. There are plenty of them, that will for whatever reason -- ignorance, intentional or not -- will accept the hallucinations as real enough to taint their decisions.

Even if ultimately proven false, you're going to need to expend additional resources to prove that. Especially if the 'hallucinations' are just barely untrue.

HN has an extremely skewed perception of how easily the average person, of which those in the legal profession, and even most HN posters myself included are, is deceived by false information that somewhat matches their worldview. And it will only become worse as AI becomes more authoritative on other topics -- why not trust the AI on this topic if you already trust it in so many others.
Unifying things slows engineers down, so probably not (for some time).
If you can sell the desktop for enough money to buy a good-enough laptop, you should do that. The desktop is just dead weight until you have a place where you can permanently set it up, and if you believe you an use your programming skills to help you get back on your feet, you need to be able to use those skills now, while you don't have a place to plug in that desktop.

But really, look for a stable job, any job. Uber/Lyft is not that, especially with the uncertainty in your car situation. Your eventual goal might be to do software freelancing, or to get a full-time job using those software skills, but you may not be able to get one of those kinds of jobs now.

I often find stuff on Lobste.rs a few days before it hit HN.
"Nuclear Taboo" does not exist[0]. It never did, it never made sense. You can't rely on the belief that rulers and politicians operate on ethics and reject options based on how morally questionable they are. If they ever did, we wouldn't have wars, we wouldn't have war crimes, "collateral damage", "enemy combatants" = any male 12+; we wouldn't have low and high scale corruption, etc.

What exists is what I described above. Everyone knows war, up to and including nuclear, is always possible, but no one wants to go there. There is an obvious termination point: total nuclear war. It anchors everyone's expectations about how far they can push, who they can or cannot threaten with military action. People can run these hypotheticals quickly in their heads. Netherlands asking US, "so what you're gonna do, invade?", US saying "yes, and what then", and Netherlands... conceding, because they can't one-up. Compare: the only reason the war in Ukraine is still hot, is because Russia has nukes, and Ukraine doesn't, so there's only so much any of the allies can do to help[1]. If both countries had their own arsenal, or neither, this wouldn't happen.

So not "nuclear taboo", just an implicit understanding of MAD and where the buck stops, and how it affects who can threaten whom with military action, and recursively, how far anyone can push anyone else in political negotiations. It trickles down to the ASML/China question, too - even if they really wanted to have this deal, politicians in Netherlands know they have to concede to the US, because what else can they do?. They already run the "what if we X" / "then we Y" loop in their heads, hit the ceiling, and know they can trade horizontally, but can't escalate vertically beyond some point because of X, that's because of Y, that's because of Z, that's because of... nukes.
