nurumaik··on The protester's guide to smartphone security
Buy a burner phone with cash without taking your main phone and stash it somewhere. Then, before protest, take phone from stash and bring it with you
nurumaik··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
For me it's very noticeable. Typing, invoking lsp actions, opening terminal panel, switching between files. Everything feels much much faster. Switched to zed several months ago and never looked back
nurumaik··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
Isn't any modern llm inherently multilingual?
nurumaik··on Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance
China itself? Russia that has been blocked from all western services? Any non-US/western company?
nurumaik··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
It really surprises me that it's not widely used in the rest of the world
nurumaik··on Couriers mystified by the algorithms that control their jobs
Imo contracts should be non-binding

Sign a contract, break a contract, let next contractors decide whether you can be trusted

For high responsibility jobs use either reputation or deposit

nurumaik··on Couriers mystified by the algorithms that control their jobs
Why someone other than me and my employers should decide whether my job is allowed to exist?
nurumaik··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
Idk about silk road, but hydra (russian online marketplace) was the best thing that happened to russia drug market. It had very good reputation system and even labs that did random testing of drugs being sold

Existence of big marketplaces definitely lower chances of people dying from drugs

nurumaik··on Prime Numbers So Memorable That People Hunt for Them
Since divisibility by 2 and 5 is such a problem, why not look for memorable numbers in prime base, like base 7 or base 11?
nurumaik··on Reverse engineering Call of Duty anti-cheat
Because there is no court, just algorithm flagging people with some false positives

For "get fucked" measures you need pretty low rate of false convictions

nurumaik··on Authors seek Meta's torrent client logs and seeding data in AI piracy probe
What things did they broke by downloading books?
nurumaik··on Why Skyscrapers Became Glass Boxes
Don't glass boxes also keep more sunlight on the streets because they reflect part of it?
nurumaik··on Four causes for 'Zoom fatigue' (2021)
Well there are already lightweight options like xreal air and it seems like full scale VR that you can wear all day is going to happen very soon
nurumaik··on Four causes for 'Zoom fatigue' (2021)
I think VR for meetings is the way. It should solve all mentioned problems: you can walk around, you can choose eye contact and distance, you don't see yourself. Also it should handle concurrent speakers much better due to spatial sound
nurumaik··on uBlock Origin GPL code being stolen by team behind honey browser extension
If this magically didn't interfere in my ability to use the car in any way, I'd have no problem of anyone stealing it
nurumaik··on Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'
Once I discovered monaspace font family, I never looked back

nurumaik··on Google starts tracking all your devices in 8 weeks
I want everything, everywhere be always in english by default unless I explicitly set another language or there is no english version at all. Even if it's my native language and I'm in my home country
nurumaik··on C++ is an absolute blast
Yes, it gives me free coffee breaks every time I compile my code
nurumaik··on C++ is an absolute blast
C++ makes sense when you need low latency, but don't really care about correctness

So I believe gamedev will stay on C++ the longest

Game crashes with segfaults for 0.001% users? So what?

nurumaik··on Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
When "LLMs will become so good, that senior people won't be needed anymore" happens, it would mean such level of efficiency that I don't need to work at all (or can live pretty comfortably off some part-time manual labor)

So I don't care at all

nurumaik··on What Is Vim?
Zed feels quite as fast as vim though, and has remote ssh for remote hosts

And you don't have to suffer latency when working on machines with 300ms latency

I still use vim when I need to quickly edit some file on some remote host once, but for see no reason to use it over zed in other cases

nurumaik··on Sharing new research, models, and datasets from Meta FAIR

nurumaik··on Install postmarketOS on Android phone and use Docker as a home server
Had very old android phone (redmi go) with sim running 24/7 to forward sms OTPs for a month or two

Sms forwarder app + tailscale on phone, python script on server that forwarded incoming sms to telegram bot (probably could use webhook to avoid this step though). Worked perfectly with 100% uptime

nurumaik··on Bitcoin price hits $100K for first time in history
It's anonymous as long as you manage to sell it without connection to your real identity
nurumaik··on Bitcoin price hits $100K for first time in history
Well, bitcoin has many legitimate uses like buying drugs or evading taxation
nurumaik··on South Korean president declares martial law, parliament votes to lift it
Is he going to ban voting next?
nurumaik··on Every board game rulebook is awful [pdf]
One book to decide whether to play, one book for everyone and one book for "that nerdy guy anyone will ask during game"

Good idea

nurumaik··on Starlink Direct to Cell
For travellers, they only need to match other global esims, which are quite expensive
nurumaik··on Undergraduates with family income below $200k will be tuition-free at MIT
If everyone gets major that leads to high income, market will become oversaturated quickly

.5% of income over lifetime of alumni is very long-term investement

Universities are well aware of that and obviously won't self-sabotage in such dumb way

More likely outcome is that universities will ensure that most talented students will get high income majors

nurumaik··on Undergraduates with family income below $200k will be tuition-free at MIT
Make this .5% go directly to the university. Will incentivize universities to teach more useful skills
