I do something similar but with a global keyboard shortcut on my Mac managed with Alfred. When I hit the shortcut it just changes my system's DNS resolver to 1.1.1.1 and reset the macOS DNS cache. And then automatically switches back i

I'll poke the bear: As a user, the browser is my agent. If I'm directing an LLM to do something on a page in my browser, it's not that much different than me clicking a button manually, or someone using a screen reader to rea

This is quite cool! Very excited for this concept. Kudos to launching on HN! some genuine feedback on a frustrating early experience: - I ran the suggested "Group all my tabs by topic" in productivity agent mode. It worked great.

How is the author getting a symmetric 600mbps connection with Monkeybrains? They're an awesome local ISP and provide internet via roof mounted PtM wireless connections. I want to love them, but sadly I only get an unreliable 80mbps&#x2

I'm impressed this is so instantly installable via test flight! I have a suspicion Apple my pull this soon.

This is a key distinction. Plus codes map to a 14m x 14m square area and aren't aware of things like building units or elevation. If you live in a high rise apartment, a plus code does not identify you precisely. Sadly to do this you

I was interning at Facebook in '07 when the first iPhone was released. Can confirm! Someone was 3rd in line at the Palo Alto Apple store and brought it over to the office. Though iOS definitely predates 3rd party apps and the ad based

A 50Ah 12V deep cycle car battery would give you at most 600Wh. This RPi's max draw is 12.5W, but an average draw is 6W is probably reasonable. So that battery alone would get you at most `600 watt-hours / 6 watts = 100 hours` of

That hides it in the source, but doesn't hide it in the execution environment that can access the ENV. Everything you run inside your shell could still read it. (but if you're running untrusted things...you've already lost)

What's the escalation theory here mean? The US shut it down to damage a company it doesn't like? And 2-4 hours is meaningful? or China did it? Maybe it was shutdown and used as negotiating leverage and brought back when some agree

My actual IRL solution would be to look up the parking company and their domain based on the lot's Google/other map data. It might also be fake but that seems less likely. If there's no machine to pay directly, no attendant,

I generally agree with you and the parent on this. It definitely is self-fulfilling. Because some companies cut access to laid off employees immediately, it makes the others look negligent if they don't. I'm not trying to say I th

and how do you know the real parking company's URL is 'city-secure-parking.com' and not 'express-city-parking.com'?

The big difference is liability exposure. If a current employee causes damage, that's one thing. But if a recently laid-off employee who retained full system access causes billions in losses, the CEO and board would face severe consequ

Even seeing the domain name doesn't solve the fundamental trust problem. A malicious actor could post a fake QR code or fake short URL leading to "city-parking-secure.com" or similar legitimate-looking domain. The real soluti

It's the concentration that matters. Toothpaste has over 1000x the concentration of fluoride vs 0.7mg/L as tap water. Many well water sources have naturally occurring fluoride that exceeds the additive levels.
