dClauzel··on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are sold out for the year, says WD
Good luck to everyone. Home you made some reserve.

Yes, AI is nice, but I also like to be able to buy some RAM and drives…

Dude, IPv6… We are in 2026.

The GUA are 128 bits, every one of us is alone.

dClauzel··on Brève histoire des technologies de virtualisation: Xen, VMware, KVM, et QEMU
L’évolution des technologies de virtualisation sur architecture x86 représente l’un des aspects les plus significatifs de l’informatique moderne. Son histoire illustre comment les contraintes architecturales du processeur x86 ont conduit au développement de nouvelles solutions, puis de nouveaux paradigmes. Les quatre technologies abordées ici — Xen, VMware, KVM et QEMU - ont chacune apporté des approches distinctes pour résoudre les problèmes fondamentaux de la virtualisation x86. L’aboutissement actuel étant l’informatique par l’approche du nuage.

> a command-line tool is not the system or an app

Meh. An application is an application.

That is a new hybrid freedom unit. Nice!
dClauzel··on Anthropic signs a $200M deal with the Department of Defense
200 millimetres? That's not a lot.

dClauzel··on If AI is so powerful, why can't it solve Ukraine-Russia conflict?
Asking o3-mini:

1. Complexity of Geopolitical Conflicts Human Decision-Making: The Ukraine-Russia conflict involves deeply entrenched political, historical, and cultural factors, as well as decisions made by leaders based on emotions, personal motives, and political calculations. AI cannot predict or fully understand these human factors12.

Evolving Dynamics: The situation is highly dynamic, with shifting alliances, battlefield conditions, and political pressures. AI models struggle to adapt to such rapid changes without constant updates and human oversight25.

2. Limitations of AI Technology Data Scarcity and Bias: AI relies on historical data to make predictions or recommendations. However, conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia war are unique events with limited comparable historical data, making it difficult for AI to generate accurate insights13.

Lack of Strategic Judgment: While AI can analyze large datasets and identify patterns, it lacks the ability to make strategic trade-offs or account for ethical considerations, which are central to peace negotiations26.

Implementation Challenges: AI-generated solutions often require precise execution plans (e.g., demilitarized zones or security guarantees), which depend on human negotiation and enforcement. AI cannot ensure compliance or manage post-conflict complexities23.

3. Role of Trust and Diplomacy Trust Deficit: In diplomacy, trust between parties is crucial. AI systems cannot build trust or address concerns about fairness and accountability in negotiations36.

Ethical Concerns: The use of AI in diplomacy raises questions about transparency, bias, and accountability. Missteps in deploying AI could worsen tensions rather than resolve them36.

4. Political and Military Realities Military Nature of the Conflict: The Ukraine-Russia war is fought on the ground with conventional military tactics reminiscent of earlier wars. While AI aids in intelligence and logistics (e.g., geospatial analysis), it cannot directly influence battlefield outcomes or compel parties to negotiate57.

Global Governance Gaps: The absence of international frameworks governing the use of military AI complicates its role in conflict resolution. This regulatory void limits its potential as a tool for peacebuilding4.

5. Supporting Role of AI Despite these limitations, AI plays an important supporting role:

Data Analysis: It helps analyze vast amounts of data from satellite imagery, social media, and other sources to provide actionable intelligence57.

Scenario Planning: AI can simulate potential peace agreements and test negotiation strategies to assist policymakers in exploring options2.

Information Summarization: By distilling complex documents and historical agreements, AI aids diplomats and analysts in understanding key issues quickly26.

Conclusion AI is a valuable tool for enhancing human decision-making but is not a substitute for diplomacy, strategy, or leadership. Resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict requires political will, trust-building, and human negotiation—elements that lie beyond the capabilities of current AI systems.

dClauzel··on Why isn't there a universal data format for résumés?

See for example the FoaF ontology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAF_(ontology)

dClauzel··on Pareto Security app for macOS – Avoid common security mistakes on your Mac
I am trying your app.

It tells me "boot is unsucure".

However, this is perfectly fine:

  # nvram boot-args
  boot-args serverperfmode=1`
Also ssh connections are not a problem (if you have a correct identification method).
dClauzel··on Ask HN: Anyone seeing DNS issues in Europe/UK this morning?
Je confirme : des problèmes avec le CDN Fastly.
dClauzel··on Common color mistakes and how to avoid them
This is possibly a pretty and interesting article, but the author does forget that about 4% (8% men, 0,5% women) of the human population suffer from daltonism. So yeah, we like our colours to be clearly separated.

Having linear gradients of colours leads to the impossibility of distinguishing the data categories, so nop. If you do this you MUST also provide another kind of representation, like ColorAdd http://www.coloradd.net/ .
