mlnj··on Claude Code On-the-Go
"I demand a purple unicorn build the things I want to."

Now what?

mlnj··on Show HN: Superset – Terminal to run 10 parallel coding agents
Running into this issue with just 1 agent. I have plenty of tokens to spare. Just not enough time to iterate and bugfix.
mlnj··on Show HN: ReadyKit – Superfast SaaS Starter with Multi-Tenant Workspaces
For 99% of the SaaS teams, low latency becomes an issue later unless the product itself needs to be catering with that feature. Focus with kits like this is to get everything running on day 0.
mlnj··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
Have heard good things about Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/).

Am forced to use MinIO for certain products now but will eventually move to better eventually. Garage is high on my list of alternatives.

mlnj··on Why Replicate is joining Cloudflare
It's more like

Home Depot sold you a shovel because you had $48 to spare. they don't care about the why.

mlnj··on FLUX.2: Frontier Visual Intelligence
Also happy to see European players doing it.
mlnj··on Shai-Hulud Returns: Over 300 NPM Packages Infected
>You have to make sure you're not putting any secrets in the container environment.

How does this work exactly? containers still need env vars and access to databases and cloud environments. Without these the container is just useless isolated pod.

mlnj··on Building the largest known Kubernetes cluster
>You are not Google.

It's literally Google coming out with this capability and how is the criticism still "You are not Google"

mlnj··on Gemini 3 Pro Model Card [pdf]
100% the reason I am long on Google. They can take their time to monetize these new costs.

Even other search competitors have not proven to be a danger to Google. There is nothing stopping that search money coming in.

mlnj··on Windows 11 adds AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders
I've been aggressively firewalling Windows machine for ages now. Something like https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php makes it easy to deal with.

Any executable like Copilot will never get access to the internet.

mlnj··on The Department of War just shot the accountants and opted for speed
I don't see any impeachment proceedings from Congress. Looks like the wannabe dictator has their blessings.
mlnj··on AI adoption in US adds ~900k tons of CO₂ annually, study finds
'Density' is not the concern we all have about fossil fuels. It's the effects on the atmosphere.
mlnj··on Open Source Implementation of Apple's Private Compute Cloud
It is an implementation. As long has it behaves the same...
mlnj··on Developers are choosing older AI models
Instead of being the best model, it's a race to bring in revenue and add bias for ad channels.
mlnj··on Keep Android Open
You are arguing as if the two sides are acting in good faith. Authoritarianism almost always isn't. Greed and corruption is is inherently tipping the scales unfairly against the fair system to be imbalanced against the good actor.

You can see it again and again in the success of voter suppression acts and the deceitful tactics played by authoritarians.

Arguments only work when both actors respect good arguments.

mlnj··on Keep Android Open
Hmmm. The rise of nazis to power from time to time is evidence to the contrary.

Most people, might not be 'stupid'; but complacency in the population is enough to drop the guard down.

mlnj··on ChatGPT Atlas
>I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approach.

That's the first thing that came to mind. Every single action across every single website would be available to OpenAI with this browser. Even if I wanted to leverage something like this it'd have to be a fully local LLM interacting with a huge local DB of my info.

mlnj··on Show HN: Duck-UI – Browser-Based SQL IDE for DuckDB
Yes, you can use

INSTALL iceberg;

to start working with iceberg https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/iceberg/overv...

mlnj··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner

mlnj··on Meta convinces Blue Owl to cut $30B check for its Hyperion AI super cluster
Excel sheets have replaced many humans too. Pretty low bar for AGI if you'd ask me.
mlnj··on Meta convinces Blue Owl to cut $30B check for its Hyperion AI super cluster
Everyone is very silent on AGI in the past months.

The latest from AI is better targeted ads and better adult content didn't you hear?

mlnj··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
Have been running a couple of machines on Hetzner cloud with https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-ks for about 2 years now.

Have been very happy with the setup. Also hosts a StackGres cluster that's backs up to GCS. Plenty of compute foe the price.

mlnj··on DOJ seizes $15B in Bitcoin from 'pig butchering' scam based in Cambodia
Reminds me of this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/538/

With bitcoin you can't even just rely on memory for the keys, you need something physical that can be taken away from you.

mlnj··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
And all of those things are more steps than "buying a computer".

Reminds me of the "Dropbox can be built in a weekend"

mlnj··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
Let's not kid ourselves that maintaining 10TB with resiliency handling and other controls built in is something that is trivial. It is only trivial due to the offerings that Cloud computing has made easy.

Self-hosting implies those features without the cloud element and not just buying a computer.

mlnj··on AI Investment Is Starting to Look Like a Slush Fund
It's all non-taxable service/infrastructure/personnel deals and not cash.
mlnj··on AI Investment Is Starting to Look Like a Slush Fund
And all of it just driven on vague statements of "AGI next year" (a year ago) and now "cancer cure on 10 gigawatts".

Almost every podcast nowadays is just "Where is all this money coming from?", "This is just infinite money and you are just out of the loop." Feels so weird to hear.

mlnj··on Zoox robotaxi launches in Las Vegas
You might be onto something. Don't stop that train of thought. Keep going.
mlnj··on Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office
>Open layout with people yelling on calls

I would never again want to put up with it.

mlnj··on Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office
>It's really hard to bond with people exclusively through chat. Especially if you hide behind an anime avatar or refuse to switch on your video.

If they are not bonding virtually, I don't see how much better that relation is going to be when I force these people to be in a corporate space.
