Banditoz··on Show HN: Oak – Git alternative designed for agents
What is git not suited for in modern development? I haven't found any reasons.
Banditoz··on How we run Firecracker VMs inside EC2 and start browsers in less than 1s
Dude, it's a web request. It's not that deep.
Banditoz··on Amazon Says Its Data Centers Use 2.5B Gallons of Water
Citation?
Banditoz··on Major P2P issues in Israel and possibly other Middle East countries
EGS has yet to reach the feaure parity of Steam from 15 years ago.
Banditoz··on Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessage
> Apple wouldn't ban us...

To me this screams you haven't talked to Apple. Given how macabre they were towards Beeper Mini, I almost expect the same treatment for Chert.

Nonetheless, best of luck if you can pull it off.

Banditoz··on Gaining control of every projector and camera on campus
I am a bit confused on how they were able to access these devices if they stated the network is not allowing routing? I think I may've missed that part in the article.
Banditoz··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
Small aside, if they're dropping their transparency company value does that mean that issue won't be visible anymore? Is that the future for Gitlab?
Banditoz··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
What would you blame instead?
Banditoz··on Copy Fail
>...why shouldn't we enjoy how small you can get it to pop a root shell?

Because I want to know what the exploit is doing and how it works, and if it's even safe to run.

A privesc PoC is NOT the place for this kind of fun.

Banditoz··on United Wizards of the Coast
Arena is WotC's video game version of Magic the Gathering, yeah. Notably it's got microtransactions and such for opening packs of cards.
Banditoz··on Issue links now open in a popup
Has the team considered going back all-in on Rails and SSR instead of this hybrid approach?
Banditoz··on Issue links now open in a popup
How did the performance of GitHub become so slow in the first place? It didn't used to be this bad years ago.
Banditoz··on GitHub CLI now collects pseudoanonymous telemetry
GitHub CLI is not a SaaS. It's a commandline utility.
Banditoz··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing Open-Source Coding
If the benchmarks are private, how do we reproduce the results? I looked up the Humanity's Last Exam (https://agi.safe.ai/) this model uses and I can't seem to access it.
Banditoz··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
Yep, latency's also big if you play competitive multiplayer games. With DOCSIS you get ~11ms +- 3ms added to every packet no matter what because it's shoehorned existing cable infrastructure. Fiber is much better in this regard.

Ping to my public IP's gateway address:

  30 packets transmitted, 30 received, 0% packet loss, time 29031ms
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.449/1.915/2.212/0.166 ms
Banditoz··on LinkedIn uses 2.4 GB RAM across two tabs
I recently found a bypass for this. Put this in your ublock origin custom rules:

  www.linkedin.com##main:style(font-size: 16px !important;)
Banditoz··on Iran-backed hackers claim wiper attack on medtech firm Stryker
Does InTune have some sort of check that goes "if over 1% of devices are wiped within a certain timeframe, stop all new device wipe requests"? Seems like it should be a feature, especially if these kinda attacks pick up.
Banditoz··on AI adoption and Solow's productivity paradox
If AGI is coming, won't there just be autofishers and no one will ever have to fish again, completely devaluing one's fishing knowledge and the effort put in to learn it?
Banditoz··on We mourn our craft
This is what I don't really understand. It's a bit difficult to take "wait x months" at face value because I've been hearing it for so long. Wait x months for what? Why hasn't it happened yet?

Things seem to be getting better from December 2022 (chatgpt launch), sure, but is there a ceiling we don't see?

Banditoz··on Why I Joined OpenAI
> ...it's not just about saving costs – it's about saving the planet

There's something that doesn't sit right with me about this statement, and I'm not sure what it is. Are you sure you didn't just join for the money? (edit: cool problems, too)

Banditoz··on LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions
LinkedIn has been employing a lot of strange dark patterns recently:

* Overriding scroll speed on Firefox Web. Not sure why.

* Opening a profile on mobile web, then pressing back to go to last page, takes me to the LinkedIn homepage everytime.

* One of their analytic URLs is a randomly generated path on www.linkedin.com, supposedly to make it harder to block. Regex rules on ublock origin sufficiently stop this.

Anyone know why they could be doing this?

Banditoz··on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode
What does that mean?
Banditoz··on France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
Every Teams team is backed by SharePoint, unfortunately.
Banditoz··on xAI joins SpaceX
What do you mean?
Banditoz··on YouTube blocks background video playback on Brave and other browsers
Not for long, probably.

I've noticed YouTube likes to A/B test a lot. If you use it signed out you pretty much get a new set of minor changes each time.

Banditoz··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
This is extremely reductive and incredibly dismissive of everything they wrote above.
Banditoz··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
Could this be considered grounds for a lawsuit?
Banditoz··on Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee
You're missing the point.
Banditoz··on Spotify won court order against Anna's Archive, taking down .org domain
Wikipedia has a list of active domains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27s_Archive
Banditoz··on Scaling long-running autonomous coding
Is something like a 3D game engine even hard to find source code for? There's gotta lots of examples/implementations scattered around.
