natas··on Show HN: AI agents play SimCity through a REST API
I want to see AI play factorio
natas··on Another GitHub outage in the same day
This is exactly why my employer is unlikely to adopt Azure. When CoreAI assets like GitHub appear poorly managed, it undermines confidence in the rest of the ecosystem. It’s unfortunate, because Microsoft seems to overlook how strongly consumer experience shapes business perception. Once trust is damaged, no amount of advertising spend can fully restore it.

why does the government, any government, has a backdoor on anyone's phones to begin with?

natas··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
> France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.

The odds that France will provide a competing offering is pretty high, because, in this day and age, and with AI, it's fairly straightforward to do so. The problem is adoption, do you think people in the USA or elsewhere will install it? Does that mean that only French companies and the French will be able to talk to eachother? Seems somewhat limiting and will limit business expansion.

Will the French government embed spyware in it, they can, since they'll be sponsoring this initiative, they've been intending to do with whatsapp and all the other messengers for years. Worrisome for the end user.

I'm all for competition, and I hope France succeeds in building a good product, because competition is great for everyone and creates jobs, and I hope it's going to take off soon, we'll see, bonne chance!

natas··on Interactive eBPF
@deivid I would certainly buy a pdf or book with this and more examples (with full source code).

Just a hint if you want to change the world and make a few bucks :)

natas··on When hardware goes end-of-life, companies need to open-source the software
"EOL hardware should mean open-source software"

It is if you buy carefully: I don't buy hardware that can't be used with linux or whatever I deem necessary. And then, there's the car...

natas··on Influencers and OnlyFans models are dominating U.S. O-1 visa requests
One of my past manager was on a O-1 (in a tech company); he was from india. So, it goes like this, you register to be a presenter in a conference, copy some material from another tech talk and (re-)present it there as a novelty (rince and repeat). Pretty Simple. Step #2, create your facebook, youtube channel (etc.) and buy subscribers (from mediamister.com, getafollower.com, views4you.com, socialwick.com, buzzoid.com, etc) which is perfectly legal; he must have spent 10% of his salary to buy millions of subscribers; and that's how he's been working in tech for the past 10+ years.
natas··on Nasdaq to submit paperwork with SEC for round-the-clock trading
this is good for "the people"; and will hopefully eliminate, to some extend, dark pools and other shenanigans that common mortals don't have access to. How many times have you seen the markets move 1%-2% over night, and couldn't place a trade, while some investment companies can.
natas··on Workday project at Washington University hits $266M
infinite money glitch!
natas··on Workday project at Washington University hits $266M
1) Because Leadership knows they don't have the competency to manage a project of this size, universities have become expensive adult daycares.

2) See (1) and also because AI can't do it, so they can't handle.

3) Because paper kills trees, and brawndo contains electrolytes, duh.

natas··on Workday project at Washington University hits $266M
it's in fact $66MM, the $200MM is for the kickbacks.
natas··on Workday project at Washington University hits $266M
workday is VERY expensive, probably one of the most, my company (150 employees) can't afford it, we ended up using something else, cheaper, and quite frankly, it does the same stuff.
natas··on Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores from Home Listings
It is very disappointing that Zillow has chosen to remove or obscure important information that could benefit potential buyers. Under the new CEO, this shift represents a 180-degree departure from the company’s original values and stated mission of promoting trust and transparency. Limiting access to key data places buyers at a disadvantage, especially when making significant financial decisions about assets that could lose value due to information not disclosed before purchase. Moreover, given the current and forecasted economic conditions—which are unfavorable for both the real-estate market and Zillow’s own valuation—this is not the time for the company to make decisions that further erode user confidence. This lack of transparency is regrettable.
natas··on The R47: A new physical RPN calculator
The db48x/db50x project seems to be more promising than C47/R47; although, I wish Swissmicros could produce a db50x version with the right layout (no stickies)
natas··on First Ultrasonic Chef's Knife Vibrates 40,000X/Second for Easy Cutting
good point, it's within their audible frequency which is between 40Hz to 60kHz (65kHz in some dogs); the knife is 40kHz, so it will drive them completely crazy.
natas··on First Ultrasonic Chef's Knife Vibrates 40,000X/Second for Easy Cutting
yes, you are right. Basically $15 is all you need, and certainly better for the environment.
natas··on First Ultrasonic Chef's Knife Vibrates 40,000X/Second for Easy Cutting
It's a good idea, but it's probably cheaper and, from an ecological standpoint better (than e-waste) to sharpen knives; a top-quality professional electric knife sharpener will set you back $170 and last you a lifetime; which is a third of the cost of the Ultrasonic's knife. Cool idea though.
natas··on People Who Hunt Down Old TVs
you may enjoy this. My daughter is 10 years old, couple of months ago we went to an airbnb which had a crt tv and some vhs tapes. she looks at a vhs tape and asks, what is this? She had a look on her face like if she had just found a dinosaur egg.

Shouldn't parents decide what's good for their kids instead of having their government do that?

natas··on T-Mobile claimed selling location data without consent is legal–judges disagree
Honestly, it's border line impossible for common mortals, I can't opt out from certain marketing initiatives because I don't have the marketing ID? (with no indication on how to retrieve it) I live in Washington, USA.
