huslage··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
It is not the Department of War. He's towing the line from the get-go. Forget this guy.
huslage··on Why is Claude an Electron app?
I have had other LLMs QA the work of Claude Code and they find bugs. It's a good cycle, but the bugs almost never get fixed in one-shot without causing chaos in the codebase or vast swaths of rewritten code for no reason.
huslage··on Wikipedia deprecates Archive.today, starts removing archive links
What exactly is credible about archive.today if they are willing to change the archive to meet some desire of the leadership? That's not credible in the least.
huslage··on Wikipedia deprecates Archive.today, starts removing archive links
Why would they need to own the archive at all? The archive.org infrastructure is built to do this work already. It's outside of WMF's remit to internally archive all of the data it has links to.
huslage··on The Singularity will occur on a Tuesday
Profit is a myth of epistemic collapse at this point. Productivity gains are also mythical and probably just anecdotal in the moment.
huslage··on Proof of Corn
This is highly ridiculous. It's missing entire categories of costs, not to mention selling 1000bu of corn is not easy and you won't get that price for it.

The real question isn't "Can AI do x thing?" but "SHOULD AI do x thing". We know how to grow and sell corn. There is zero that AI can do to make it more "efficient" than it already is.

Come on.

huslage··on IP Addresses Through 2025
NAT is not a security measure at all. It just obscures what's behind a firewall, but that is leaky and not reliable from a security perspective. It might make you feel better, but that is not security.
huslage··on IP Addresses Through 2025
They didn't require you to have a public IPv4 address. Just an IPv4 address.
huslage··on SparkFun Officially Dropping AdaFruit due to CoC Violation
That is a ridiculous statement.
huslage··on Are Apple gift cards safe to redeem?
Yes. But that doesn't make it right.
huslage··on macOS 26.2 enables fast AI clusters with RDMA over Thunderbolt
I don't believe the standard supports such a thing. But I wonder if TB6 will.
huslage··on Disney Lost Roger Rabbit
He describes what he sees as a monopsony. That is not misleading. You can have lots of options and still be stuck in this monopsonistic (sp?) world that controls your rights and your financial future.
huslage··on [dead]
Cloudflare isn't down. The API and Dashboard are down.
huslage··on DHH: Fleet MDM just added explicit support for Arch and Omarchy
The idea of MDM on Linux confounds me. The system is not designed around such constraints, and Omarchy for sure isn't secure enough for such things.
huslage··on Boeing has started working on a 737 MAX replacement
The "Neo series" are re-engined A320 series (neo = New Engine Option) and has nothing to do with the A220.
huslage··on Corporation for Public Broadcasting Ceasing Operations
No, but it means the end of financial support for many programs on PBS and NPR.
huslage··on Steam, Itch.io are pulling ‘porn’ games. Critics say it's a slippery slope
The actors in this are Australian, by the way.
huslage··on Open Source Maintenance Fee
Red Hat does not charge you to open issues on open source projects and never will. Their business model does not hinge on deriving value from core open source principles.
huslage··on I deleted my entire social media presence before visiting the US – I'm a citizen
This is incorrect. There have been many documented incidents of US Citizens being detained and harassed upon US entry for what they say online. You can disagree about politics all you want, but the facts remain that USCBP has begun persecuting people for all sorts of things, both political and otherwise.
huslage··on Occasionally USPS sends me pictures of other people's mail
I briefly had {{firstname}}@gmail.com back when it was invite only. Man that was a mistake.
huslage··on ICANN fumes as AFRINIC offers no explanation for annulled election
I’ve posted about this saga on LinkedIn a bunch of times and received a cease and desist every time. These people are rent seeking fools who are holding African addresses hostage for profit.
huslage··on Bitchat – A decentralized messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks
Why does anyone need a cash incentive to pass a message silently? There is literally zero marginal cost to them to do this. Why does everything have to cost/make money?
huslage··on Get the location of the ISS using DNS
Could you calculate the position from the Ephemeris data in realtime instead of using an API? This would allow you to return the current location on every request potentially.
huslage··on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
That is not true for non-citizens. Our law is swiss cheese regarding that.
huslage··on Show HN: Ts-SSH – SSH over Tailscale without running the daemon
I looked at the code and the documentation and it's definitely vibe coded. Also the presence of CLAUDE.md is pretty telling. I have no issue with vibe coding in general, but I am skeptical of the usefulness of LLMs with security code.

Yes, I think projects that are coded wholly or in part by LLMs should be noted as such.

huslage··on Show HN: Ts-SSH – SSH over Tailscale without running the daemon
I am scared that this is vibe coded and not audited in any way. tsnet is good software, but wrapping it in this way is a recipe for disaster. Please reconsider.
huslage··on Sorcerer (YC S24) raises $3.9M to launch more weather balloons
There are many private weather companies.
huslage··on Sorcerer (YC S24) raises $3.9M to launch more weather balloons
Tell me that after your house gets leveled by a tornado and you don't get a warning.
huslage··on Sorcerer (YC S24) raises $3.9M to launch more weather balloons
I'm glad you have come up with something more efficient. The problem has nothing to do with efficiency. You are welcome to make a government contract to sell them equipment or data as you wish.

My problem is with baseline services that have already been stopped that you claim to want to replace. This data feeds all of our weather models and should be done with existing infrastructure until congress changes things. The data must be freely available.

The fact is that the data is available for anyone anywhere and is a valuable resource for scientists everywhere. Your current goals might be laudable right now, but that is not going to be the case when you have to pay back an investor 100x in 5 years. You will do everything you can to lock that data up and make it as expensive as you can. You will have no choice.

huslage··on Sorcerer (YC S24) raises $3.9M to launch more weather balloons
I imagine the government is going to start launching weather balloons again after they get sued for illegally firing the staff that's supposed to do it.
