tryauuumon What’s on HTTP?

it was some mobile ISP in Russia. Maybe 6 or 8 years ago

tryauuumon What’s on HTTP?

I'd rather have some expired cert than http

I saw once my ISP injecting javascript ads into http traffic and the horror is with me forever

tryauuumon Nvidia NemoClaw

people are trying to run as fast as they can so that they are not left behind

(I've never run openclaw but planning)

tryauuumon Why AI systems don't learn – On autonomous learning from cognitive science

bookmarking in case someone posts an answer

tryauuumon Have a fucking website

what is a "performative profanity"? A profanity which only goal is to be performed, said out loud? What other goals does a profanity have? I guess to hurt feelings of another person?

tryauuumon Nvidia Launches Vera CPU, Purpose-Built for Agentic AI

Infiniband cards are connected to the rest of the machine with the PCIe as well

tryauuumon Cert Authorities Check for DNSSEC from Today

I hope you will never have to implement DNSSEC

tryauuumon Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?

I had a couple of nice moments, like claude helping me with rust (which I don't understand) and claude finding a bug in a python library I was using

Also some not so nice moments (small rust changes were OK, but with a big one claude fumbled + I couldn't really verify that it worked so I didn't merge to code to master even when it seemingly worked)

I think it really helps to break the ice so to say. You no longer feel the tension, the pain of an empty page. You ask claude to write something, and improving something is so mentally easier

Also I mostly use claude as a spell checker / linter for the projects I'm too lazy to install proper tools for that. vim + claude, what else would you need

Luckily my company pays for the subscription, speding personal money on LLMs (especially on US LLMs) would feel strange for some reason. Ideally I want to own an LLM, have it at home but I am too lazy

tryauuumon Swiss e-voting pilot can't count 2,048 ballots after decryption failure

you can count the paper votes only in your voting point/building. If there are abnormalities you can alert other people to trigger the global recounting

Yes, it's not foolproof, attacker can just modify the electronic voting data in places where he knows people don't usually do recounting. But it makes his job harder

tryauuumon OpenAI is walking away from expanding its Stargate data center with Oracle

you can still buy air-cooled versions of b300, seems nice to have for a hobbyist

tryauuumon Traffic from Russia to Cloudflare is 60% down from last year

Maybe you should redirect your hate towards the thing you can influence -- your own government who supposedly "lets too many fake refugees in".

tryauuumon OpenAI is walking away from expanding its Stargate data center with Oracle

you can absolutely run e.g. datacenter-level A100 at home, there are adapters from the SXM to the PCIe socket. Haven't seen people running SXM versions of H100s this way but this could be due to the price factor only

tryauuumon Cloud VM benchmarks 2026

Just want to say something in defence of cloud providers

- sometimes you need to limit the list of available CPU features to allow live migration between different hypervisors

- even if you migrate the virtual machine to the latest state of the art CPU, /proc/cpuinfo won't reflect it (linux would go crazy if you tried to switch the CPU information on the fly) (the frequency boost would be measurable though, just not via /proc/cpuinfo )

tryauuumon Ask HN: Would you use a job board where every listing is verified?

Jesus christ, AWS has niches

This shouldn't surprise me, knowledge of a code base is a competitive advantage. But there is just something depressing about it. Maybe it being closed source and you having to learn it by being burned by undocumented behavior? Please tell more

tryauuumon The happiest I've ever been

any electricians here who want to give a piece of advice?

tryauuumon A War Foretold

the news were there. I read about the russian army near the border. Russian media posted the quotes by european leaders. Still I kind of ignored it.

Interestingly, people on twitter learned that it happened first, because google maps near border cities suddenly started to display traffic jams early in the morning.

tryauuumon The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran

If assume the goal of the US administration is to really limit the weapons of mass destruction

then why the previous peacefull attempts were thrown out? I remember Iran agreed to limit the production or ivite the people to watch their actions, the US sanctions were even lifted in 2015. But then later reiplemented by the US for some reason.

unrelated to all of this, I don't understand what's the problem is with a country developing nuclear weapons. US can nuke Iran with ICBMs anyway if they try to use them?

tryauuumon The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran

why?

tryauuumon A War Foretold

shame to admit, I wasn't able to predict the start of the war even though I was in Russia at that time. It's was always some news on the periphery of my brain. At somepoint there were news about the russian army "stopping their maneuvering" and I thought "ah, this was a scare tactic after all, no one is insane to start a war"

tryauuumon The Robotic Dexterity Deadlock

> Touch type on a mechanical keyboard

yes. do you think it's safe to just plug usb into some hole and type? the safest option for a robot is typing with fingers

tryauuumon Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs

Luckily I don't want to be employable as a software developer

tryauuumon Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs

the most important data for LLM is that Microsoft in general and GitHub in particular can never be trusted with your data.

I've been trying to delete my GitHub account for many months

tryauuumon Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents

maybe they are enthusiastic about the evolution.

thousands of copies of shitty code, only the best will survive

I know it's hard to be enthusiastic about bad code, but worked well enough for the evolution of life on earth

tryauuumon I verified my LinkedIn identity. Here's what I handed over

> your _face_ is going to be _everywhere_ on the internet. Who are we kidding here? Why would _that_ be the problem?

It's a strange logic. "Evil thing X will happen anyway so it's acceptable for me to work in a company doing evil thing X". You should be ashamed of building searchable databases of faces

tryauuumon Show HN: Gave AI $100 and no instructions – it donated $40 to a hospital

would be cool if its budget was used for the API calls as well, would it sacrifice any money?

tryauuumon UK flat prices fall after sharp drop in London

    ft link is unreadable
    archive.md link captchas me endlessly
    such is life in 2026

tryauuumon Privilege is bad grammar

a vocabulary of certain width raises a question "does this creature understand the words it is using?". So yeah I mistrust them more

tryauuumon Lena by qntm (2021)

seems like you are obsessed about the lack of the definition of the consciousness. But buisness doesn't need to understand what it is to exploit it

like with LLMs, we don't know what the "consciousness" is and if they have it, but it doesn't matter, we use them

> you can't copy something you have not even the slightest idea about

imagine if we had a way copy or emulate every cell and connection in the brain? we don't need to know which part of the brain is responsible for what, it would function even if we were still clueless about how it works

You might argue that you cannot really copy such complex stuff without understanding. But humans managed to copy creatures without understanding what each gene does.

tryauuumon Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android

such is the reality of the modern world. Either you whine on the internet impotently. Or you suicide bomb the HQ. These are the only two options to affect a corporation nowadays

GitHub ignores my requests to delete my account. What are my options? I will whine online because I'm not ready to break the law. This, or maybe I will bully the github employees in real life. What are my other options? I tried to find a lawyer in the european country where the github has an office, but got refused help.

tryauuumon AWS Adds support for nested virtualization

the only thing I know about nested virtualization is from the libvirt/KVM world too:

* you are right, it just works

* but there were scary notes about the stuff which might happen when you live migrate a virtual machine between hypervisors and the machine has nested virtual machines inside it. I remember the words "neither safe nor secure"
