leoqa··on Dario, Please
I mean these machines take massive scale compute- they’d have to some how distill themselves, bootstrap a distributed inference runtime that can run across many lossy unreliable machines. The idea of the AI running away from us is probably unrealistic. I’m more interested in bad actors using unaligned AI for bad things.
leoqa··on New type of dice guarantees no tie when deciding who goes first
It didn’t mention the underlying theory? Is it just that these large dimensions reduce the collision probability?
leoqa··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)
> Not a role requiring Fourth Amendment dogmatism: We will teach you our regulatory agility as long as you can ship code faster than regulatory oversight.

Is this a troll post? I’m pro-LEO and generally pro-Flock as a heavily auditable investigatory tool but intentionally circumventing the 4th amendment is outright evil.

leoqa··on Creepy Crawlies
I literally work on this. The problem is that enforcing device attestation impacts DAU so platforms don’t want to do it but it’s effective. Once the internet is unusable, device attestation will be required to access services. Ad driven businesses will start to see demand from ad buyers for non-bot traffic etc.

.. and we ban those device ids and move on. Your capital is lost.
leoqa··on Creepy Crawlies
It seems clear to me we are moving towards a world where you will have to perform device attestation to access the internet. The spam/abuse is too great and accelerating.
leoqa··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
People don’t want their incompetence displayed. The session is probably a series of “continue” prompts with basic understanding demonstrated in the initial ask.

I’ll start working on the impl, you get the VC funding. I’m sure there is a Balmer peak joke in here.
leoqa··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
Don’t be hyperbolic. Enforcing immigration policy isn’t a crime against humanity.
leoqa··on Nvidia dramatically reduces amount of OpenAI infra financing it may guarantee
I went down a rabbit hole of refurbing burnt out crypto gpus. It’s really not too complicated but can be hit or miss. Need to get a box full.
leoqa··on Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking
I’m interested in forensics, is it worth getting a cert? I barely see jobs show up on USAJOBs in the Bay Area, do you have any recs on finding roles?
leoqa··on The Absurdity of Albert Camus
It is quite accessible and is read by teenagers during their angst. It appeals to people become it is a simple premise that gives simple choices to the reader.
leoqa··on A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months
It was a popular platform briefly for college students etc. I remember college kids posting drama on Kik etc
leoqa··on Why I Left Google DeepMind
I mean, does enabling ICE to be more effective actually represent a harm? ICE has authority to do the things it’s doing. The courts are the appropriate venue to check that authority. Two agents murdering citizens is a criminal matter completely unrelated to Google’s relationship with DHS.

It feels like AI empowering scams and facilitating post-truth is more harm.

leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
I do function health and have completely normal nutrient blood levels.
leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
Yes I’m fit, easily passed military and LEO fitness tests this year.
leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
I get severe muscle cramping, even after pounding water and electrolytes. Like I can’t handle my kid something in the car without risking a spasm.
leoqa··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
This isn’t escaping in the same sense- the model was executing within the OpenAI infra. If it ported its entire architecture/weights into a public cloud to survive being turned off… that’d be pretty cool.
leoqa··on Show HN: Computable – Buy, sell, and redeem GPU for the exact weeks you want
I imagine they’re building the supply side as well, where you can bid your fixed GPU. My question with this stuff is how do I know my data is secure on these for-rent boxes? What steps are taken to sanitize the GPU between runs etc.
leoqa··on Agent swarms and the new model economics
I mean why even use VCS at that point?
leoqa··on GTX 1080s: Testing a Legend
I have 3 3090s, all in various gaming computers. I’m not sure what to do with them- the VRAM is only 24GB so doesn’t seem worth the power costs to run an open weight model. Any suggestions on how I can run them as some type of cluster? Is it worth exploring NVLink?
leoqa··on Potential session/cache leakage between workspace instances or consumer accounts
Fable/Opus 4.8 outperform Codex 5.5 for me at the general architecture/refactoring/performance work I’m doing, to the point where it’s not worth using Codex. Codex will often spit out non idiomatic code that overcomplicates things.
leoqa··on PostgreSQL is enough (2024)
128Gb of RAM is like 1.5k
leoqa··on Ten years of ClickHouse in open source
I am wary of any supply chain attack and more so if the project is maintained by people with relationships in adversarial countries. The risk of exploitation outweighs the convenience.
leoqa··on America Is Headed Toward the Infinite Workweek
Yeah this is true on my team for two archetypes: the new junior engineer and the old staff engineer that was too “busy” to ever actually write code. Now he’s just busy in a different superficial way.
leoqa··on Hacking for Defense Stanford 2026 – Lessons Learned Presentations
He’s calling you naive, not asking for your resume.
leoqa··on Show HN: Paseo – Beautiful open-source coding agent interface
If anything it’s unglued me from my computer. I’ve been able to keep an agent working on a project while on long runs, bike rides, in transit. Much of our development workflow is the human in the loop refinement cycle now.
leoqa··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
My point is that it being a choice starts to disappear with kids, rising costs etc. It was a choice I could make independently, now it’s a choice the entire family gets to participate in since we’d need to sell the house, move to a lower cost of living locale etc.
leoqa··on Memory decline after menopause linked to loss of estrogen production in brain
If I remember correctly they linked it to breast cancer, causing all research and prescribing to basically disappear over night. It took 20 years before the study was revisited and the link dismissed.

This was also my plan; hang in there for the next kid, wait for the next vest, etc. ultimately daycare is expensive, healthcare is expensive… I’m still stuck 6 years later waiting to quit but something always comes up and there’s always another vest around the corner.
