Tokumei-no-hitoon Blip: Peer-to-peer massive file sharing

nit-nit, what's wrong with cheap prices? price doesnt infer magnitude.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

why bother when not a single vulnerability has resulted in any appreciable fines or loss of market share? it's absurd how untouchable their ubiquity has become.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Claude jailbroken to mint unlimited Stripe coupons

great point. sorry i didn't realize it was reaching out to their servers. that's no longer equivalent to an open patch.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Claude jailbroken to mint unlimited Stripe coupons

so if a security researcher comes up with a free open source patch which, presently, is the only available solution then they should just keep that to themselves?

it's an evolving field. if anthropic doesn't have a solution should we just not do anything?

Tokumei-no-hitoon Claude jailbroken to mint unlimited Stripe coupons

that's reductive. this is effectively a disclosure. do you consider every disclosure write up an "ad" for the security researcher?

Tokumei-no-hitoon Ring introducing new feature to allow police to live-stream access to cameras

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44426726

relevant quotes:

Xfinity won't give folks in certain locales (maybe everywhere in the US?) unlimited bandwidth unless they use their modem/router. This seems like a good reason that practice should be illegal.

AzzyHN 19 days ago | parent | next [–]

If you want to remove the 1.2TB data cap, you can either pay $25/mo and get Xfinity's gateway router "included" OR pay $30/mo to use your own modem/router.

why doesn't it support them?

Tokumei-no-hitoon Kiro: A new agentic IDE

what are the unsupported extensions? i thought the support had to do with marketplace access (search / download / update) but if you already have the vsix it can be installed in any vscode fork

OP was referring to apps downloaded from the app store.

you can't get a build hash from a downloaded app to then compare to a source build.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Building a Mac app with Claude code

you have a point, "idiomatic" use of the language. what's unclear is whether idiomatic application of a language is a matter of elegance or functionality and is that idiomatic usage something captured by the training.

some elements are necessities to the language while others are more for the human / team.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

that's fair. i went off the AI generated answer. here's some links, i was off but the number is still significant.

50% users under 30 (gen z). only counts 18-30, estimate as you will for those under 18 (to be fair she only referenced gen z): https://explodingtopics.com/blog/tiktok-demographics

total users in US is 170M: https://backlinko.com/tiktok-users

your call on if 85M users 18-30 is "[gen z] society".

Tokumei-no-hitoon Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

there's 28% gen z in the US. that's roughly 94M and 70M are on tiktok

Tokumei-no-hitoon Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

when the taxonomy is weaponized then we have lost something. taxonomy that is used in earnest to improve and adapt is fine. when it used to promote victimization that begets the control of other people it's a net negative.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

you seem unaware that over 60% (150M) of the US uses tiktok and around 70% of that (100M) are 18-30. it's unclear on the < 18 numbers but likely a significant number.

i don't think it's unreasonable, particularly when she qualifies gen-z, to conflate tiktok and society.

it's really out of hand. the brain rot, beyond just the psych labeling she touches on, is crazy.

i have never used it and have limited understand of fine tune models. i only remember see this a few weeks ago and your comment reminds me. i am curious too.

Tokumei-no-hitoon Show HN: Octelium – FOSS Alternative to Teleport, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Ngrok

this is incredible OP. nearly every criticism I've read could be resolved by reading the docs for 10-15 mins starting from the "how it works".

i did feel uncertain from the README but once i got into the docs i was blown away. this is incredibly well abstracted and organized both in terms of the implementation and docs. to hear that you built this yourself is absolutely legendary. thank you for releasing this.

Tokumei-no-hitoon MCP Specification – version 2025-06-18 changes

nothing prevents you from using a proxy server if you want it all from one entry point. idk of any clients hitting hundreds of MCPs anyways, that's a straw man.

unlike web dev where you client cab just write more components / API callers, AI has context limits. if you try to plug (i get it, exaggerated) 500 MCP servers each with 2-10 tools you will waste a ton of context in your sys prompt. you can use a tool proxy (one tool which routes to others) but that will add latency from the processing.
