This is the trashiest thing I've ever seen
egamirorrim··on The god mode vulnerability that should kill "Trust Microsoft" forever
And whatever tide.com is is slow and broken for me smh
egamirorrim··on Hidden risk in Notion 3.0 AI agents: Web search tool abuse for data exfiltration
I think I might have missed something, having tried to recreate this in my own Notion, this searches the URL but doesn't actually send data to that URL.. right? Where's the exfil? (Apart from to the search service)
egamirorrim··on Toddlerbot: Open-Source Humanoid Robot
I have visions of buying/building one to feed my cats and bring packages from my porch, is this crazy ambitious?

Edit: Just seen that 'low cost' means $6k, LMAO

egamirorrim··on I Am An AI Hater
Someone get this man a Claude Max subscription already.
egamirorrim··on Vanguard hits new 'bans-per-second' record
Why is there an investment company team in a gaming house
egamirorrim··on Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent
Yeah I had such high hopes for Warp before it launched and then it's slowly enshittified. Turns out Ghostty was what I wanted all along.
egamirorrim··on This Should Not Be Possible
This guy's such a weird writer. Speaking like he discovered YOLO mode and called it the Ralph Wiggum method.

This was underwhelming, but I like his websites styling.

egamirorrim··on Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 Incident on July 14, 2025
What's that about a hijack?
egamirorrim··on What I learned building an AI coding agent for a year
Looks really cool! But I have to able to bring my own LLM. In a space moving this fast by the time my enterprise has finished vetting a tool that wants to be it's own LLM/process my data itself, it's already out of date.

I'd love to be able to connect Azure AI and Vertex to this (for the full range of models it uses)

egamirorrim··on [dead]
I was trying to look for the conspiracy in this but then the story started sounding really plausible

TL;Dr billionaire buys company that make UPSs that are connected directly to voting machines and allowed to have their firmware/drivers updated without checks. Same company contracts Palantir and a new Starling contract - the implication being they've snuck SIM cards into their UPSs and are communicating via Starlink from what should be airgapped systems connected directly to voting machines.

Of course why go to the hassle of Starlink when you can just use any cell provider, and surely surely hardware changes to the UPS, like adding a SIM card, are audited?

OOI what coding agent are you managing to get to work nicely with G2.5 Pro?
egamirorrim··on Every programming language has its 'killer' domain
Some convenient omissions here, how about Scala? Kotlin?
egamirorrim··on Create and edit images with Gemini 2.0 in preview
I don't understand how to use this, I keep trying to edit a photo (change a jacket to a t-shirt) of myself in the Gemini app with 2.0 flash selected and it just generated a new image that's nothing like the original
egamirorrim··on Google Gemini has the worst LLM API
I use Vertex because that's the one that makes enterprise security people happy about how our datas handled.

Do Google use all the AI studio traffic to train etc?

egamirorrim··on Google Gemini has the worst LLM API
The way dependency resolution works in Java with the special, Google only, giant dynamic BOM resolver is hell on earth.

We have to write code that round robins every region on retries to get past how overloaded/poorly managed vertex is (we're not hitting our quotas) and yes that's even with retry settings on the SDK.

Read timeouts aren't configurable on the Vertex SDK.

egamirorrim··on Google Gemini has the worst LLM API
The thing is that the entry level of provisioned throughput is so high! I just want a reliable model experience for my small Dev team using models through Vertex but I don't think there's anything I can buy there to ensure it.
egamirorrim··on Google Gemini has the worst LLM API
OOI what's your preferred framework for that managing agent/child agents setup?
egamirorrim··on Google Gemini has the worst LLM API
I love that you're responding on HN, thanks for that! While you're here I don't suppose you can tell me when Gemini 2.5 Pro is hitting European regions on Vertex? My org forbids me from using it until then.
egamirorrim··on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
I feel like I need a power users walkthrough of Kagi to shows it's value, I just can't get it up for it at the moment. I barely even use Google these days and just ask GPT :-D
egamirorrim··on (Reasonably) secure Azure Pipelines on-prem deployments
It's mind blowing to me that people still ship software by copying a file to a machine and restarting a service.

I'm very unfamiliar with IIS hosting though, does it support any kind of containerisation/deployment immutability at all?

egamirorrim··on Bitwarden Authenticator
Yet another authenticator that I can't run on desktop
egamirorrim··on Release Notes for Ghostty 1.1.0
Can't wait to jump on Ghostty on Linux, once they introduce a feature to save my tab/splits layout or put it in a conf file to load, like a terminator profile.
egamirorrim··on I failed moving my Google calendar to Proton
Self hosting email sounds like it comes with a lot of dragons, what do you use for it?
egamirorrim··on Ask HN: Do you backup your Emails?
I use Gmail and just download a Google takeout every 3 months
egamirorrim··on What's New in F# 9
This looks like a good set of improvements but goddamn F# is an ugly looking language
egamirorrim··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Bitwarden?
Enpass is pretty good, store your vault in your own <cloud storage>
egamirorrim··on Vulnerabilities in the Feeld dating app
Wow. Remarkably responsible, and compassionate, disclosure.
egamirorrim··on Show HN: AnythingLLM – Open-Source, All-in-One Desktop AI Assistant
I've got an open ai API key, and I pay for chatgpt. I'd imagine switching to this and using openai would end up costing quite a lot? How are people running it relatively cheaply?
egamirorrim··on Started with an AI agent, now doing a thing that won't scale
TL;DR Guy tried to write an AI E2E acceptance test running service based on existing Gherkin, it was harder than expected. Now he's a contract traditional QA Engineer. No big ending, just a snippet of a story.
