DANmode··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
The system being protected in nations today is the pay-for-play,

not “do the right thing for society”.

DANmode··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Good to see your comment as always.

I can confirm this exact workflow - in a much safer city, from a much safer distance.

You in a decent spot now?

DANmode··on Obscura: VPN that can't log your activity
To make that sound like a risk, not a benefit.

Individuals in Sweden certainly were.
DANmode··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
What have you done to replace the receptor-clearing capability nicotine has that likely “addicted” you in the first place?

(Feeling okay is addictive.)

Robots (by default).

Take the time to ask for anything else.

Spec one.

Start one.

Has someone written on or otherwise worked on this?

Based on what it takes to change the oil?

Seemingly not.

> I don't think you have a good grasp on what’s actually happening here

Then you don’t, unfortunately.

> 90% is pretty good efficiency at this level of power

Too good. That’s what they’re saying.

Brave seemingly blocks YouTube ads on iOS.
DANmode··on If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right
> It's asking an author to suddenly become an editor.

It’s asking an author to suddenly become an editor if they decide to use the robot for a task.

Certain workplaces are demanding this - but not all.

Many still just want working commits without tech debt.

In fact, private and public teams alike are backed up at the PR review stage, so, lots of sane places wouldn’t mind individual contributors using the robot less - especially if its use increases the complexity of reviewing the task.

Speed isn’t the only variable to optimize for!

Are you sure?

I see LOTS of text transformation tasks…

DANmode··on Weeping whales: Stillborn humpback whale grieving documented
Won’t engage because you can’t.

Lots of evidence that whales, dolphins (plenty of other animals), are collectively doing a better job at collective satisfaction within their society and culture.

Your “explosive” culture argument is…uncompelling.

Anyone with less than two pounds, I’d imagine.

Every Apple machine ships with LLMs.

So, that’s a decent amount of people who could realize it today!

Apple will be leaning into that further. No other play makes sense.

DANmode··on Singapore’s National Library Board offers micropayments to build reading habits
Yes, but without Pizza Hut involved, do they even stand a chance?
DANmode··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
If something has gone wrong,

and it has,

that predated this website being published.

DANmode··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
Pretty sure the entire industry around clouding what’s going to end up a local embedded technology is the joke, in a roundabout way.
DANmode··on Spain orders blocks on Archive.today and its mirrors
To your point: it takes 1-3% of a population to upend things…based on historical reference.

Chaotic coincidences,

because the empire is too large to control all of its interests.

Could have been avoided - too much money to be made in the various stages of it not being avoided.

DANmode··on Largest wildlife overpass in North America reduced wildlife collision by 91%
> Nobody is eating roadkill to survive as a matter of necessity

Wrong.

Especially in places that culturally frown upon wasted food / meat.

DANmode··on Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera
That it’s legal precedent is not Internet urban myth lol - regardless of the side-story of how the precedent came to be.
DANmode··on GPT-6 Astra Solves a WWI German Radio Cipher
> Annoying that ChatGPT can cite sources like this without being able to properly weigh their reliability.

It can’t make it past the abstract, in some cases - just like most people!

DANmode··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
> Just because it is open source doesn't mean they don't control it

Just point out how that hurts security or privacy and we’re with you!

DANmode··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
> It doesnt need to be a “real” license?

Tell me you were born after 2000 without telling me.

A younger relative asked me how a flight simulator showing a view of common flights posted here “was even legal”,

and I’ve been on watch for similar mentality ever since lol

Keep making stuff.

Thank you!

DANmode··on War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?
War is here.

It is clear we are not generally physiologically ready.

DANmode··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
That’s pretty funny.

Also: did it suggest instructions for the “correct” agent, or an ambiguous agent?

One has marketing implications, the other one is generally decent advice.

DANmode··on Pentagon weighs pulling nearly a third of U.S. forces from Europe
But they’re also less likely to vote for a third party or otherwise upend things,

because they’re not hungry.

Bread and circuses -> Hot Pockets and Netflix

DANmode··on Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera
Yes, that’s how court / legal precedent works - for better and for worse.

Feel free to consult an attorney.

Edit: I thought the case went further up - but, “persuasive precedent” for other jurisdictions now exists all the same.

Edit2: since I’m seeing the username of someone with a decent clue,

> and no ceiling

was there one on paper for the hiring standards of the dept in the case in question?

Does that matter?, if there’s no legal issue with using it as a disqualifying factor? - for any candidate - whether or not they even score well?
