igleria··on Why Not Venus?
> sometimes wonder what their reaction would be if intelligent beings on Venus one day learned to fly, to sail in the dense air, to penetrate the mysterious cloud veil 45 kilometers above them and eventually to emerge out the top of the clouds, to look up and for the first time witness that glorious universe of Sun and planets and stars."

like when in matrix revolutions they climb up above the clouds and see the sun for the first time :')

except for the shareholder's wallets. sometimes.
igleria··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
Domain Driven Design is something that I have only come to know with full understanding at my current job and oh my it is useful. It's not a silver bullet, but for complex domains it's a must.
igleria··on CRISPR takes important step toward silencing Down syndrome’s extra chromosome
What would be the difference between curing a fetus versus a newborn? Isn't editing out the bad gene better than just aborting gestation? For the person gestating too, since going through an abortion is psychologically damaging
igleria··on Uncharted island soon to appear on nautical charts
Not a shooting star, but the tiny new island reminds me of this Tintin comic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shooting_Star
igleria··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Textbook whataboutism.
igleria··on System Card: Claude Mythos Preview [pdf]
It reminds me of Resident Evil in some way. Thank god they are researching AI and not bio-weapons!

Then the AI will invent superduper ebola to help a random person have a faster commute or something.

igleria··on Revision Demoparty 2026: Razor1911 [video]
as a broke kid from the third world, the amount of coping Razor1911 enabled for me with gaming got me through high school during the 2000s (edit due to not finishing a sentence originally) cannot be understated.

they IMO are trying to help by giving good ideas to keep a healthy gut. Add that to the study and at least to me, it´s a nice idea.

btw people, do drink water to keep up with the fiber. Otherwise it might not help.

igleria··on Iran-backed hackers claim wiper attack on medtech firm Stryker
Menem, the president at the time, and many more made every effort to cover up who was responsible.

Only in Argentina you get such an attack with no group taking responsibility. Justice system in Argentina is corrupt as hell.

igleria··on Iran-backed hackers claim wiper attack on medtech firm Stryker
Extrapolate from the response to 9/11 but with 2026 technology and imagination is the only limit.
igleria··on Meta acquires Moltbook
If you say so. At least this has references https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_wealth_syndrome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
igleria··on Meta acquires Moltbook
A lot of people find their lives ruined after suddenly becoming rich. Perhaps a second removed cousin tries to be your best pal out of nowhere, etc etc.

Also you might not like being the type of person that builds moltbook. People you like might not like that type of person either!

No reason to feel bad.

igleria··on Kuwaiti F/A-18's Triple Friendly Fire Shootdown Gets Stranger by the Day

At what number of people do you consider it a backlash?

igleria··on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used
> A significant number of developers and businesses are going to have an absolutely brutal rude awakening in the not too distant future.

I pray (?) for times like the ones you predict. But companies can stay irrational longer than the average employee can afford.

igleria··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
I've been barely keeping my head above water (ok, much better than that honestly) for 35 years intellectually due to lack of more methodical learning. Your post might convince me of trying Anki...
igleria··on Prism
money is a powerful amnesiac
igleria··on Is liberal democracy in terminal decline?
> But whenever someone starts talking about the CIA like it's responsible for "supporting liberal candidates" - all seriousness leaves the room.

Nobody likes to admit their vote (or lack of) has consequences outside their little bubble.

igleria··on Show HN: Beats, a web-based drum machine
This is great! I can report a bit of odd sounds here and there on firefox ubuntu, but chromium ubuntu works perfect.
igleria··on High-speed train collision in Spain kills at least 39
Taking the commuter train to and from Dublin, sometimes another train on the other direction passes and it's a bit unnerving. I cannot imagine such a collision between two high speed trains :(
igleria··on Grok turns off image generator for most after outcry over sexualised AI imagery
You don't understand what is dangerous about being able to trivially generate believable images of events that actually did not happen?
igleria··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
> Great for parties where you rather be home tinkering.

I know this is probably in jest, but when someone invites you to a party it's not because they just want your atoms in the same room as them.

In regards to doom coding: I would chop off my arms before coding/prompting on a phone. Also, think about your cervical, neck etc! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
