rvz··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
You said that.

It is perfectly valid to have OSes that are more memory safe by default, and are also open source at the same time.

rvz··on Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes
Agreed. It is finally time to go back into wearing suits rather than the era of cringe-worthy hoodies.
rvz··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
Counting down to the next Linux LPE 0day or KVM vulnerability that agents will use to trivially escape their "sandbox".

Might need a re-think about whether if Linux is still fit for purpose on sandboxing in the first place given its memory model is riddled with C-style security issues.

rvz··on TUI Games in 80x24
Why do we need this over something like ratatui.rs? I don't see the use-case in any of this and it is some sort of vapourware that has a private alpha? I don't get it.

Seems like this hype around TUIs makes no sense at all and sounds like a fad. Maybe it is time to move on.

rvz··on 56k.rip – the 1996 dial-up internet experience

rvz··on Firebase SDK is crashing all iOS apps since this morning
So we have not learned anything since then, on both sides from the SDK builder side and the client side.

Why is it that iOS is crashing but not Android?

Google should know better to not have such an incident like this as the Firebase SDK runs on millions of apps.

If you did not implement a fall back mechanism, perhaps you based your testing assumptions on that “Firebase could never crash my app” which is now false.

Keep vibe coding and breaking everything.

This will be the new normal as all human “engineers” from staff to seniors are now down levelled to interns and junior engineers when using AI; unable to understand what they are doing and pushing broken updates like this into production with “agents”.

Better not blame Claude on this outage.

rvz··on 1996 chat room simulator connected to Win95 and System 7 web desktops
There is no use case for any of this. Most of this vibe coded garbage will get abandoned in months and the deleted.
rvz··on MicroLLM Lab – Try 7 tiny LLM's in the browser
Nothing on this site actually works.
rvz··on Debian 11 bullseye-security repos have gone missing after botched EOL process
Don't worry. I'm sure Claude can take care of that.
rvz··on Why are the artists still starving?
Because most of them turned to software engineering and now there are lots of starving software engineers.
rvz··on George Hotz’s opinion on AI coding
It is a complete choice, just like how open source is. Zed is doing the same thing. [0]

The alternative is leetcode hards in person with rounds of in person interviews.

rvz··on Show HN: Lofi Cities – Pixel-art city nights with browser-generated lofi
Who cares.

Only on HN there can be a single pixel that is misplaced or off and it causes ONE person to get upset about it.

This is completely petty. Just stop.

rvz··on [dead]
Many vibe coders have always have confidently said: “I don’t look at the code”

The truth is, the author directed Claude to delete 48K file without proper supervision.

rvz··on Crusoe abandons $1.25B plan to use Boom turbines at AI data centers
What went wrong?
rvz··on Microservices are organizational debt disguised as architecture
If you are a pre-revenue startup, this is the most hyped up architectural approach in software engineering such that it was designed to waste you money on “scaling” when in reality you were actually bankrupting yourself.
rvz··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
As long as there are problems to discover and solve, which is forever.

The risk of liability is a social problem that is far more difficult to be solved with technical solutions even with AI.

rvz··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
> Once AI math goes so far beyond human abilities, any human involvement is like an ant trying to understand quantum physics

This makes no sense whatsoever.

We need more, because there will always be far more difficult problems yet to be discovered and solved, and that means, we certainly need expert humans to define and verify them.

If you cannot even explain the problem you are facing, not only you don't understand it, but you certainly would not be able to know if the AI solved your problem correctly.

rvz··on What even is an OS now?
> the future is a single AI assistant doing all the work.

Sounds more realistic than what this blog post is proposing. Meta also tried releasing a phone, how did that go?

Muse on the other hand is the polished version of what OpenClaw should have been and Meta appears to have given a lot of thought about it more than this blog post.

I don't think we need yet another phone.

rvz··on What even is an OS now?
A solution in search of a problem already solved that no longer exists.

This seems to be only thought out after a day of vibe coding apps that no-one uses.

rvz··on Why house prices may be in trouble
Higher rates for longer.
rvz··on Tell HN: Codex Is Down [fixed]
Codex took an unannounced early day off for the weekend. It happens.
rvz··on We're Gonna Need More Mathematicians
He is right. We will need more expert verifiers, thanks to the eventual Jevon's Paradox.
rvz··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
Europe has no money.
rvz··on [dead]
Many who run startups and businesses who are cash flow positive or do trading don't need the $5k.

But anyone who got laid off and ran out of their savings would need that extra $5k more than others.

rvz··on Goodbye Google
You said that.

This was announced on X [0] and Bluesky [1] (First post) with that intention.

He knows he would get more reach on those platforms than here.

rvz··on Dutch governments builds alternative for Microsoft based on NixOS
I predict that Codeberg will soon realize that they have no choice but to loosen and allow AI generated code.

There is no point in being on the extreme end around banning all code generated by AI.

Regardless, there is AI generated code in many repositories on Codeberg anyway.

rvz··on Goodbye Google
This is not an airport.
rvz··on Is indirect prompt injection still a big threat as models get more advanced?
Yes it is.
rvz··on Tell HN: Apple urgently needs a way to disable Apple Intelligence
The best thing about Android is that you can choose a device that does not have Gemini.

Apple on the other hand forces you to use Siri and Apple Intelligence regardless.
