msh··on Legal action forces Facebook whistleblower to sit in silence at Hay festival
You need to read the book for the reference. Apparently mark likes to play catan and everyone else looses on purpose…
msh··on SF startup is testing robots in Airbnbs, and trashing them, lawsuit claims
In a rental unit you should not have things that can’t be replaced. People who rent it will break things, either by accident or purpose (there are always idiots around).
msh··on Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down
I know it’s not a official client but rclone have great iCloud support (but only if you don’t enable advanced data protection).

Emacs and vi(m) have always been free.

If it feels fake?
msh··on Security researcher says Microsoft built a Bitlocker backdoor, releases exploit
Burglars are a thing.
msh··on Accelerando (2005)
I think of the books by Charles Stross halting state and rule 34 are both better books and give a better 15 minutes into the future feeling.

Halting state might be a bit dated but rule 34 absolutely holds up.

msh··on Rumor: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy from Timeline
Or the dark empire comic book series.
msh··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
My 15 pro max is at 649 cycles and 91%
msh··on Can I disable all data collection from my vehicle?
Do it like china does with iphones. Apple sells them but icloud in china is controlled fully by a chinese company owned and operated by chinese citizens.

While this does not fully prevent backdoors and hacking it does raise the bar quite a lot.

Lol

Is there explicit approval? Or is it buried in the legal agreements?
msh··on When the cheap one is the cool one
How

I still use my 2015 macbook air (purchased in 2015) as a secondary computer. I installed linux on it last year as it was not getting software updates anymore.

Other than one of the USB ports being a bit flaky it works perfectly fine.

msh··on South Korea police arrest man for posting AI photo of runaway wolf
I think many places, even without specific deepfake laws, would prosecute someone who used a fake image to mislead the police.
msh··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
For a long time apple did a lot better for both "hackers" and normal customers compared to the other big operating system company.

They also made a good unix based OS that was easy to purchase on decent hardware (esp laptops).

msh··on Tell HN: docker pull fails in spain due to football cloudflare block
It takes very light technical skills to deploy algo
msh··on Apple update looks like Czech mate for locked-out iPhone user
I use danish and English and I must admit I don’t really encounter issues switching between them on apple or Microsoft operating systems.

Only thing I can think of is some features being available later in danish compared to the English release like the swipe keyboard in iOS.

msh··on Reallocating $100/Month Claude Code Spend to Zed and OpenRouter
kimi k2.5 works quite well and is super fast. Much faster than opus but not quite at the same quality level.
msh··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
Kimi seems to support this with their 39 usd a month plan.
msh··on Ask HN: $50 monthly budget, which coding models would you recommend now?
I would keep Claude code for the heavy lifting and then opencode zen (10usd) with Kimi k2.5 for the rest.
msh··on OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
I don’t think good TUI’s are the same as good command line programs. Great tui apps would to me be things like Norton/midnight commander, borlands turbo pascal, vim, eMacs and things like that
msh··on Confer is bringing foundational AI privacy to Meta
Yeah, its strange that moxie works with one of the most anti privacy big tech companies.
msh··on MacBook Neo
I have heard this before and am curious what kind of sites you open in the tabs?

I have a 8GB m1 mac mini and I dont see any issue with browsing in chrome (right now I have 11 tabs open).

msh··on When AI writes the software, who verifies it?
"Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra
msh··on When AI writes the software, who verifies it?
I like unit tests when I have to modify code that someone made years ago, as a basic sanity check.
msh··on A Chinese official’s use of ChatGPT revealed an intimidation operation
Yes. Somewhat expensive given its web only (no api) but it works very well and new features are added continuously.
msh··on A Chinese official’s use of ChatGPT revealed an intimidation operation
The signal founder is doing private llm’s at confer.to
msh··on I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure
But for that it does not matter that much where the servers are located, more where the company controlling them is located.
msh··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
And it also caps your maximum expenses. A subscription user don’t have to worry something goes wrong and end up with a huge bill.
