client4··on IBM Quantum Nighthawk R2
If two AIs talk to each other does the rest of the forest hear?
client4··on Nyctography: A substituton cypher by Lewis Carroll
This was used in a L05tboy mystery challenge at defcon something like a decade ago. It has made for great trivia ever since.
client4··on Can't find a job after graduation? Blame WFH, not AI
Oh yes, another anti-wfh opinion article with no new insights from the previous 100 articles discussed here.
client4··on The fun has been optimized out of the Internet
A domain + compute has never been cheaper. That said, I think the signal-to-noise ratio on the modern internet makes discovery difficult.
client4··on Make tmux pretty and usable (2024)
C-b [ allows you to scroll up/down
client4··on Starfling: A one-tap endless orbital slingshot game in a single HTML file
If I miss but land back in the old gravitational field, I'd like a retry
client4··on Microsoft's 'unhackable' Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss'
The RE//verse conference has very high signal to nosie for reverse engineering content and attendees. I'd highly recommend it if it's an area you're interested in.
client4··on General Graboids: Worms and Remote Code Execution in Command and Conquer
This talk was a hit at Districtcon's junkyard talks -- outstanding work; and hilarious to see Doom inside of C&C.
client4··on We gave 5 LLMs $100K to trade stocks for 8 months
The obvious next question is: does the AI on cocaine outperform? https://pihk.ai/
client4··on Beyond Elk: Lightweight and Scalable Cloud-Native Log Monitoring
For logs I'd be more likely to choose https://www.gravwell.io as it's log agnostic and I've seen it crush 40Tb/s a day, whereas it looks like greptime is purpose-tuned for metrics and telemetry data.
client4··on Rocky Linux from CIQ – Hardened
But is it FIPS certified?
client4··on How to setup self hosted wiki for your startup
Agreed on outline, though their lack of local auth is kinda annoying. But Authelia works pretty great.
client4··on The guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing 8k hours
I remember waiting the The Pitts renegade server to start at 5 PM. Great memories from that game, it's a shame Westwood was acquired right when it was released.
client4··on Ask HN: In 2024 what's the best way to manage contacts?
I've been planning to use https://twenty.com/ but it's on the Todo list, so I can't comment as to how great it is.
client4··on US Interest Burden Hits 28-Year High

client4··on Let the network tell you where you are: a nerd snipe story
Used Arista 7124 and 7150s are pretty cheap on Ebay.

client4··on Texas sues GM for unlaw­ful­ly collecting and selling dri­vers' pri­vate data [pdf]
I've been frustrated by the ability to easily disable vehicle cellular systems. In older vehicles you could simply unplug the right cable and have it disabled. In newer vehicles I've found the cellular system to be integrated with other components -- making it impossible to disable without also getting a permanent check engine light.

Ideally I'd like some sort of CAM module that plugs in between the antenna system and the ECM that selectively drops telemetry packets.

client4··on Ad-tech setting 'Privacy-Preserving Attribution' is opt-out in Firefox 128
In a few years, when Ladybird is stable and largely feature complete, Mozilla will act incredibly confused as to why they are losing market share.

client4··on $20k MRR in one month, Stripe destroyed everything on 1 second
It's the PayPal method of conflict resolution. Freeze everything immediately, and maybe a few months down the line you'll get to talk to a human who might allow you to process transactions again after you provide a menagerie of documents.
client4··on Why are so many books listed as "Borrow Unavailable" at the Internet Archive?
It's curious how corporations try to litigate business models that struggle to survive the Internet age, enabling places like Anna's Archive to pop-up and do more damage than simply leaving the IA alone.
client4··on The Backbone of Cybersecurity: Hardware Security Modules
A tangential topic studies how you can actually trust the hardware. Andrew "Bunnie" Huang has done a lot of great work in the area, first with Precursor, and lately with Infra-Red, in situ (IRIS) inspection of silicone.

client4··on Tesla Auto Wipers: Why They Don't Work and Why There Isn't an Easy Fix
It's worth reading the comment guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
client4··on Spotify Car Thing will be discontinued
I was always surprised car thing didn't have an aux out, it would have made it so much more useful for older cars.
client4··on Crypto brothers front-ran the front-runners

client4··on Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have worked on?
The nice thing about consulting at Hershey is that they have candy closets where you can grab what you like, it occasionally includes new demo candy. And the whole town smells like chocolate.
client4··on Show HN: filippo.io/mlkem768 – Post-Quantum Cryptography for the Go Ecosystem
I appreciate the follow-up. I read the long DJB page but never saw any follow-up; to be fair I wasn't directly looking for any. In either case it's great to know the allegations don't apply to Kyber-768 and up (and great there's a Golang implementation now!).
client4··on Show HN: filippo.io/mlkem768 – Post-Quantum Cryptography for the Go Ecosystem
Wasn't kyber-512 intentionally weakened by the NSA members of NIST?
client4··on Study finds Montanans are increasingly OK with wolves
Again, I am impressed by your magnificent intellect. Thank you for sharing a little history of how your acquired it.
