Meet me at the OP OPOP OSEC
nextts··on Some Reflections After a Month of Tracking My Own Online Activity
I spend zero (extra) time changing. I make the workout coincide with when I'd get showered anyway and typically wear clothes good enough for the gym.

Gotta stay clean on OPSEC
nextts··on Ask HN: Data Usage for Family Exploding
The cloud is great as the failure mode is statistically independent of the home backup failure mode. So both backups together if they have a 1000 to 1 chance of failing per year would give you a million to 1. You'd need to lose your primary data then hit the 365 million to 1 to lose all data.
nextts··on Did A16Z get it wrong about stablecoins?
It could be a big thing. If a trillion dollars is floating in stablecoins for shopping use then someone is getting billions in interest holding the real cash.

SLA? Do I get my 5c back if it takes more than 20s?
nextts··on Ask HN: What is the most secure way of baby monitoring?
Monitor is more for daytime. You want them in a quiet room to sleep while you get stuff done elsewhere. Being with the baby 24/7 is a beautiful idea but not always practical. Of course, never leave the house with baby or young child at home.

RF baby monitors surely existed before 1989. But yeah at some point we didn't have modern stuff. We survived without paper, sneakers, etc.

Plus sign up with fake details.
nextts··on How the Queen of England Beat Everyone to the Internet
Didn't realize Liz was an OG neckbeard.
nextts··on Show HN: We are building the next DocuSign
Er.... sounds cool and everything but the main conern I'd have is "does this protect me legally"

AI generated and legally air tight don't sit in the same room for me right now. But not sure about your target audience. Have you asked them?

Or is your target audience AI investors ;) ?

Also I associate PH with "Is Beta" even though that may not be a fair assumption.

nextts··on Ask HN: Are LLMs just answering what we want to hear?
Yes. There are 2 aspects to this.

Roughly (from lay understand) LLMs predict what their training data would say. They are first trained on "the internet, etc." so they can predict words well, e.g. finish off "Paris is the..." then using human feedback they are trained further to work in chat mode and be non-offensive, concise, be pleasant etc.

nextts··on Show HN: I implemented Snake in a tmux config file
Aside. Impressed he tagged the Opera House photo as Circular Quay. Sort of thing a non-tourist would do (unless he is from Sydney).
nextts··on Hostinger Account Suspension and Data Loss Cost Us $200k
This can happen on any cloud. See it on Azure. Keep backups on another cloud and have a DR plan even if it very manual. S3 glacier is very cheap long term for example.

Keep DNS in another account too.

nextts··on Preparing for My Japan Trip
Nice. I'm doing 10 days and I booked one thing. Happy to skip the high end sushi and whatever else needs booking years in advanced.
nextts··on Ask HN: What's the ideal stack for a solo dev in 2025
Whatever cursor decides
nextts··on Ask HN: Is anyone experiencing "AI brain rot?"
Yeah it is the strangler fig pattern but the thing getting strangled is human coders.
nextts··on How to write blog posts that developers read
Sample size 1. To increase to 2:

I opened it, read enough to establish this author knows what they are talking about and bookmarked it to read properly before my next blog post.

Had they told me the blogging equivalent of their intergenerational nanna's spaghetti recipe first I may not have done that.

Parallels with Amy Hoy's "eBombs"
nextts··on Digital Echoes and Unquiet Minds
Mine does but it won't override silent mode. So I just need to make sure I am not silent before going to sleep. But getting this to work to that extent wasn't trivial and require a phone call. An app from a different device profile can't pierce it.
nextts··on Digital Echoes and Unquiet Minds
A testiment to how broken it all is is trying to set up oncall on my phone.

There is a tug of war whereby I want most things to be silenced at night DnD. Even phone calls could be scammers and spammers

But I want the alert and only that alert to wake me.

A dumber phone in a simpler time would make this easy. Just leave it on full volume and call my number!

nextts··on How Kerala got rich
I think family loyalty is deep rooted, where as socialism is something people debate (maybe more a mix of neocortex I.e. planning and lower emotions coming from morality and political identification)

No matter what their politics most people will look out for their family especially their kids.

nextts··on I genuinely don't understand why some people are still bullish about LLMs
That is deep

A better model would be good for the stockmarket. The stock market SP500 is shovel town. What would be bad id AI fizzle out and not deliver on hype valuations.
nextts··on Show HN: Rabbit – AI That Uses the Browser to Do the Tasks You Hate
Sure but it isn't a show HN (yet) then really.

Not in the spirit of showhn

nextts··on Malware found on NPM infecting local package with reverse shell
Oh yeah where I work we run encryption between ec2s. But I don't think it is https. Probably more low level (todo: read up on how it works!)

Most editors should auto changes a double dash into em dash. I thing Google Docs does for example.
