Re:Show HN: Self-serve confidential GPU compute on Sunday July 19, 2026 @10:41AM (#48968610)
Hi HN, I built Enclave, self-serve confidential compute on GPUs.

Technical documentation is on the site, but I'd rather show than tell.

Here are a couple apps hosted live on the platform:

LLM Chat bot: https://cc1f4f3f.app.enclave.host

AI Image Generation: https://da09d0f2.app.enclave.host

If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to discuss.

Re:Why 'sudo Vim' Could Hurt Your Productivity on Wednesday August 31, 2016 @12:46AM (#12396105)
I see no reason to ever run vim as sudo. The best option in my opinion is to save files using ":w ! sudo tee %" This way you are not opening your system up to potential exploits within vim plugins. It also avoids issues such as this one.
Re:Ask HN: Is Pentadactyl dead? on Wednesday December 24, 2014 @12:00PM (#8793495)
No, it's not dead. It's relatively easy to build from source. I've been maintaining a large project myself and I'll tell you one of the most time consuming aspects is keeping up to date builds. They are, however, having a very hard time keeping up with the accelerated release cycles of firefox lately. For example, Pentadactyl won't work with Firefox 36.0a at the moment.

I can't agree 100% with everything in the article but the part about GLSL is spot on.

Sears does use a type of cell phone for checkout but it does seem to have a modified camera with a laser scanner instead. Something more interesting would have been a new type of amazon smart phone with built in laser scanner and some extra buttons for scan/talk.

Re:Ask HN: What keyboards have a real strategic advantage? on Monday November 18, 2013 @01:56PM (#6756103)
I think either greasemonkey or firebug extensions would do what you are looking for. Remember, firefox is all about extendability. They want to only provide you with the minimal features which most users need and let you choose what features you want to add.
Re:Ask HN: What keyboards have a real strategic advantage? on Sunday November 17, 2013 @03:54PM (#6750800)
Unrelated but I have used Vimium too. In my opinion Pentadactyl for Firefox is far better than Vimium. Firefox can also be as fast or faster than chrome if you enable pipeling. Then there are also countless other plugins for Firefox that can improve productivity.

Ask HN: What keyboards have a real strategic advantage?

I bought a TypeMatrix 2030 and it does offer a few advantages such as being able to change layouts with the press of a button, a nice slim matrix design, and some other useful function keys. However, there are several disadvantages as well. What keyboards have you used or seen that you think would improve productivity?

Re:Ask HN: DNSCrypt over VPN is not secure? on Friday October 25, 2013 @06:20AM (#6610709)
I don't control it. I pay to use it.

Ask HN: DNSCrypt over VPN is not secure?

So I thought I had a pretty secure setup by using DNSCrypt and a VPN server. My thought was that the VPN server would mostly see encrypted ssl data since I use HTTPS Everywhere and by using encrypted DNS they can't tell which sites I am visiting.However, it has recently come to my attention that someone else has control of the OpenDNS dashboad. Essentially, this means that whoever it is can...

Re:An open letter to women in technology on Thursday September 19, 2013 @12:34PM (#6412686)
I think they are doing a pretty good job of that currently and not only that but they offer a huge amount financial incentives through grants and scholarships for women. Anything related to STEM will require a huge amount of alone time in order to learn the required skills. The idea of sitting in front of a computer writing code or solving math problems all day is probably about as appealing to them as any type of customer service or child care would be to me.
Re:An open letter to women in technology on Thursday September 19, 2013 @01:41AM (#6410043)
Honestly, society's gender roles are a result of our biology and not just dogmatic stereotyping. The truth is that women are biologically more interested in social occupations. It comes down to the way humans evolved and the attributes which make a good mother. Men are biologically more interested in thing based occupations which is why there are so many men in science and technology.

Note the behavioral effects of autism which is known to be the result of an extreme male brain (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12039606). The ratio of women born with autism is 1 to every 4 men. By simply measuring traits that indicate the levels of testosterone during gestation they can even accurately predict SAT scores (http://www.livescience.com/7290-finger-length-predicts-sat-p...). There was an interesting Norwegian documentary which covered this topic pretty well (http://youtu.be/AZoRihmI1Ug).

I have been using SDL2 for awhile now and it is a great library. It was definitely not ready until now though. I still need to rewrite my game engine to work with the current version. I am happy to hear this will be the last rewrite though!
