Probably great for users. Awful for trying to reproduce an issue. I prefer a more deterministic approach myself.

Am not a fan of CF in general due to their role in centralization of the internet around their services. But I do appreciate these types of detailed public incident reports and RCAs.

This isn’t a grant to push for innovation. This is a promise from the orange man administration to the people and companies that donated to his "inauguration fund" This is a kleptocracy but with extra steps. People are unfortunate

"Devin" is making itself fatter and prepping itself for another acquisition. Google or MS? Maybe Apple? The "world-class GTM" is a joke.

This is why national ISPs like Comcast have fought/lobbied tooth and nail to prevent municipal based ISPs from being created in various states (ie, Texas). Next logical step is starting a small ISP like these people have but they have

Not surprising. Use of LLM has only been helpful in initial exploration of unknown code bases or languages for me. Using it beyond that is just more work. First parse the broken response, remove any useless junk, have it reprocess with upda

A simple wrong flip of a switch killed 260 people and leaving 1 lone survivor who walked away from the plane crash nearly unscathed. Dudes is extremely lucky or the character from Unbreakable.

Seems like a waste of time to me, especially in this age of AI slop somehow passing as quality. Just another excuse to drink/network/party on company’s dime. However, I would be interested in establishing a union for technologist

C-level executives get paid. Labor gets stuck grinding at Google. What a waste. Google will probably shelve/hoard the IP from Windsurf.

As a software engineer, this means job security, lol. If a few more states pass similar legislation, the default would be to make it as easy as possible to unsubscribe/cancel.

Questions like this make me wonder if "hacker" news needs a rebranding. Basic tech news? Capitalist news? Vulture Capitalist news?

Pretty cool and nice find. I already have a "malicious" Chart.yaml in mind for this attack just based on the description of vuln. Fortunately, my dotfiles are managed with nix so trying to write to those files on a read only parti

The USA is not a country for the people. It’s a country for the rich and powerful. The game is rigged and enough deluded people think they can "game" it as well.

This is nice until you realize `svg-term-cli` appears to be abandoned https://github.com/marionebl/svg-term-cli/commits/master/ Last commit ~6 years ago. Does not appear to be any viable forks either. Fo

Poor guy probably got crawled by LLM bots. The "attacker" probably doesn’t know who this person is. Just a faceless corporation using his sound or white noise content to train and feed llm. I get similar "attacks" on dai

The marketing page needs some work on mobile but otherwise a cool library. Export your phones GPS pings and then use this to render a heat map of the most frequently used locations :)

It has many upvotes because HN loves to think of itself as "against the establishment." The alternative medicine folks tend to think this. In reality , nothing more than grifters. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a book or &quo

Just like garbage sources on search engines or trash stack overflow answers. There’s still plenty of junk to sift through with LLM. LLM will even through irrelevant data points in the output which causes further churn. I feel not much has c
