Seconded, can someone ask /u/dang if this acceptable?
Re:Show HN: WhatsApp MCP running free on Cloudflare on Sunday October 18, 2026 @07:17PM (#50146484)
This has been happening for years... I distinctly remember people giving access to contacts to Whatsapp and having the entire contacts slurped into their cloud.
> opus ssh to your VPS You don't even need AI systems... openship does the same thing using SSH, it sets up your server and deploys whatever app you're interested in.
> 4 core/8gb VPS > $85

Wow, that's pretty highway robbery... Linode does that for $48/month

Interesting approach to self hosting.

I'm not a fan of the "one app per server" but having automatic SSL is nice.

Reminds me a lot of OpenShip.

Question: Where does the control plane live for deployments?

It's kinda funny because Windows Defender will catch some of these as Trojan:Win32/Ravartar!rfn

I find it funny that great minds think alike because I was just thinking of analysing these EXE files this week and doing a quick writeup at medium:

You can't hack a dumb power switch (or what I assume is a giant breaker)

You mean Instagram Threads, a subset of Instagram, purchased by Meta which was formerly know as "The Social Network That Shall Not Be Named"?

Jesus, this is worse than AWS... had to scroll a while to see the one service was broken.

> Inexperienced folks won’t know better.

I've seen answers like this in Stack Overflow before. Technically correct, but basically broken in every other way: cybersecurity's future is gonna be interesting.

Why not? It's the same code across all the cars... it's as if you had a clone factory making clones of driver you.
Re:How AI Is Catapulting Nvidia Toward the $1T Club on Friday May 26, 2023 @09:23AM (#36083757)
I had a meme joke about how AI would come to be by making people mine for crypto but now we're seeing LLMs take the fore-front of AI and causing us to reach for more and more parameters.

It reminds me of when the YOLOv3 model came out and every single upgrade just gave us more and more features and capabilities (the v8 has auto segmentation).

AMD dropped the ball on this, just like Intel when Ryzen dropped, I just don't see a way for them to bring it around.

Most problems I tackle by breaking them down to the smallest possible problem and then re-build from there.

Failing fast at a smaller problem is a lot easier (which is what my last set of difficult problems ended up failing at) ... turns out applying a LUT to a camera stream on Android is a harder problem than expected if you want good performance.

Crypto content on HN... this is either gonna go really great or the opposite of that.

It's all about getting the larger personal high score. Building a viable business is secondary.

>I spend 4 - 5 hours a day in meetings and am still expected to deliver actual code.

The problem is that meetings are considered work and there's no output from those other than long term planning that can't be measured day to day.

Nah, just luck of the draw.

Re:Google will soon let Pixel phones double as dashcams on Wednesday May 17, 2023 @11:58AM (#35977194)
This has been possible with CamOnRoad for years (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camonroada...). I used an old iPhone 5S for demoing this app to some friends... just attach it and keep it powered using USB.
Probably. It seems it was designed to run with the crypto after one month. Trezor's security on the physical realm is pretty good, but this is just a good attack.

I mean, that's what FDIC is... it's basically backing a bank's funds using the US tax payers at the end.

This only really happens in a friendly context with family or if someone is behind on rent.

> I was assuming when the crisis hit cryptocurrencies would collapse immediately.

It depends on faith in the system... if the green line stays green, why pull? same argument for any other market like the stock market or housing market.

Same thing happened to ross-tech: https://www.ross-tech.com/ Chrome adding HTTPS for whatever reason.
On a second note, Android will store the last Location that was valid if Location is On but there's no GPS updates.
