The blurb there about being hesitant to make the post at all is wild in 2026.

I don't know about JackBox or whatever, but the original You Don't Know Jack games are positive fun memories for me. Thank you

Why would you get burned for this? For people who don't know, sure, this smells of 'cheating' but it's essentially just an exercise in computer vision. Also, I'd posit that using various DMA type tools in the video game modding arena are impressive and unusually secretive because they make money on subscription services. It's fascinating to me how well some of those tools and mux hardware works. When you combine that with hardware we can now buy like the DGA with more onboard memory and faster interconnects, it's going to make reverse engineering, malware analysis, forensics -- a very interesting time for those who know what they are doing.

I know this isn't apples to apples, but given that I can't get Copilot or other tools to view a simple profile page on LinkedIn makes me curious/skeptical how this would work in this depth. I'm sure it's possible but I'm curious what the skills and toolchains involved were for you to get all that to work.

What was your setup for this and did you have any preferences set in Claude to get started with something like this?

Are we including just technical people in these crowds?

Because there's a third crowd: everyone else/the general public that are standing up vibe coded websites and don't give a hoot how things work in the background or know as long as money is coming in. There are people that are using AI and thinking less and less causing their brains over the long term to become more inelastic.

We're in for a very, very painful future that will have mixed results. On one hand, you can boostrap things a lot quicker with less mental effort and it helps get up to speed without having to know some complex things (e.g. deep knowledge in coding). This can help us innovate on basic things faster, probably.

On the other ... people aren't going to learn. If something breaks in that state where they don't know how something works, what, we're just going to ask another AI to fix it? I don't know how I feel or think about that. On a long enough timeline, there are people that won't know how any of this was designed in the first place.

That's the world we actually live in. And that's what will survive despite crowd 1 and 2 that you mentioned above.

your videos and links re: nuts services are very cool. Is that something you're working on with others? What's the best way to keep on top of that?

I suppose the repo is more telling than the video and shows some of the work put into it. The 'bit' he does in the video is jarring to me and makes me think of your typical crypto bro/AI bro/someone who may not know the inner workings of things, but the repo shows that isn't the case. I personally am not a fan of behavior like that for engagement/likes sake.

The video that skipped to the actual content was neat, but the author saying "they don't know what they're doing" is very evident by the time you get to the end of the video watching them fumble to find architecture-specific MIPS binaries. Good grief.

Given the structure and size of the organization, I can. For every 2 or more folks that lose a job on the U.S side, they may hire one person, or none. And, as I understand it, with the disparity in exchange rates and currency and such, Canadians are getting shafted financially and make anywhere from .25 to .50 less compared to U.S. talent. They are being pushed (forced?) to RTO for no reason beyond 'real estate has to go up/we invested in TD tower'.

On and off for the past year or so, the commercials from TD Bank have been

* More Human

as they've slowly laid off people due to the AML fines they've been dealing with in the U.S. and replacing folks with either AI, more Indian/Canadian/Ireland talent.

I'm surprised there's many comments here, and so many folks even still who haven't heard of Mesh. And no real comments on them as an organization.

Mesh topology like this is cool, and the concept is cool. Meshtastic as an organization with one of their leadership being a lawyer and being very litiguous to protect their naming scheme, not so much. They go after so many projects, ideas and other things that say they are 'Meshtastic' powered. There's a whole discord of them. It is disheartening and very jarring. They want to use the moniker of M-Powered or M-PWRD which has no identity or meaning.

I'm curious as to why there isn't more political discussion on HN just due to the nature of the high intelligence and mind-swell here. Does this community not care and realize the harm that follows from the current regime in power? Or are people too heavily invested in this Yarvin character and want the world to very much be a Cyberpunk 2077/The Division landscape? Crazy.

I really wish there were more people who were new into physical security and social engineering. It's all the same people over and over.

this is awesome :)

W...what? What does it matter if you have non-competes when companies have gentleman agreements not to poach each other's staff?

-heavy sigh- this is frustrating.

cool, I guess we can go make lightsabers instead of badges...

why would DEFCON go with such a small outfit?

On what planet can you get ICs for less than a $1?

when did they actually start working on it? ToyMakers starts their work right after a conference ends to prepare for the next conference. The logistics and scale even for several hundred badges is immense.

Do people actually believe when a company says something caused billions of dollars of damage? unless you can quantify that, much like law enforcement and articulate suspicion, it's pretty useless as a metric. If you can pull something out of your ass, what does it matter?

This is oddly well timed and amazing. I've been thinking about Dune and wanting to play it for a while now when I was recently looking at some old games when I had a Packerd Bell PC. Sweet, amazing work! :)

Regardless of how people feel about any of the personality frameworks and how well they describe human behavior, reasoning and makeup of the person -- it can be proven to be highly valuable in a day and age where people make judgements or seek to categorize and group people gauging how well they get along with those people. I am generally not a fan of labels, but, especially in our technology based field, as an INTP, I know to see other INTPs who process the world similarly to how I do. That's been difficult to calculate how useful that is to me and others. This also comes up in dating sometimes -- if you can discern that someone is a compatible type, it can be helpful.

The same poo-pooing comes up of Astrology. Now, I'm not one to go around saying that I'm a Rainbow Farting Horse Rising -- I only go as far as 'Aquarius', 'Scorpio', etc. But in that realm, there's a fantastic book called Sextrology that can give insights on partner compatibility in the bedroom and related realms. The authors, much like Meyers Briggs have interacted with an untold amount of couples. Unfortunately book has no 'edition' moniker, just a 'revised' notation so it's hard to tell how many times it's published, but it is a fascinating and great reference to get a quick read on someone and what their needs and desires may be. I've utilized it with several partners with positive and solid results.

If you're skeptical or unsure of any of these frameworks, I recommend giving them a more serious visit or consideration. Especially with something like MBTI, reading books of the time that are hidden classics that people aren't aware of (e.g. "Please Understand Me I and II") are very illuminating despite people's disdain for the MBTI as it currently sits.

>PowerShell faced extreme opposition at Microsoft, and its creator Jeffrey Snover was demoted for pursuing it.

That makes me sad. The dude is absolutely brilliant.

Awesome post!

It's the first time I've heard of that NUMMI factory and it's ... kind of ironic. Because, pretty sure we taught Japan/Toyota/others all there was to know about Quality re: TQM and TPS ... and now companies are partnering with them to get back some of that lost luster? That's... hilarious. Maybe we need to be obliterated and build all over from Ground Zero like they did.

Who writes like this. Good grief.

Chicago School?

I want a laptop that has a standard keyboard with swappable keys. Granted it's sort of a desktop or large chunky thing at that point, but the idea of chic keys infuriates me to no end.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
