If this supports connecting with locally hosted models this is actually a HUGE deal

Thanks for the information on laser systems, I haven’t used a fiber laser myself so that’s helpful.

Ask HN: Best static website cloning tool?

Hey HN, I’m hoping to make a static preview of a dynamic web app I have, so people can view it with some data and not have all the data requests empty.Looking through the available website clone options, none of them seem able to do all the things I want, namely: 1. Clone all the routes and resources for the site, rewriting the routes to work with the local copy 2. Let the data requests come...

Just came to say the blog site itself is awesome, I’d advocate for opening the diagrams automatically on mobile, they’re amazingly slick.
Please everyone switch over to Jellyfin and begin contributing to the open source apps and clients

Was very annoyed when they acquired ShareDrop.
The vast majority of people don’t know that GPS is only a one-way transaction anyways. They think most devices talk back to the satellites somehow.

We would love to see Europe develop a military spine for once, I’m excited to see how long it takes before they come crawling back under the wing of the US.
This is the only recourse left when the vendor kicks and screams at the CVE disclosure process.

There’s zero evidence of either of it, just because they got an A record with a .gov at the DNS doesn’t mean this tiny site had any connection back to larger data, and based on my own analysis of how hard every furry hacker on the planet is hitting this, if there was, it would be leaked to the moon already and not speculated on.

Important to clarify that USDS (DOGE) does not have access to any military systems or intelligence systems. They only have the current access due to the historic process of the USDS.

Guys, ALL .gov records point to CISA. That’s one of the requirements for getting a .gov domain in the US. This is standard practice.

The sheer aesthetic Lupin & Homes puts out in these blog posts is almost untouchable. I hope they’re cool guys in real life because the digital vibes and website design are immaculate.

Damn that’s sad.

Great writeup, didn’t expect “bad authentication” to actually be zero authentication, that’s absurd.
Re:No longer writing my own damn HTML on Wednesday February 12, 2025 @01:14AM (#43022427)
Hilarious post in that it mirrors my own experience. Starting writing a SFS site by hand in HTML, hated writing new things on it, decided to ditch it for a static site generator.

Here’s the deployment app link, cute name.

Re:1% Equity for Founding Engineers Is BS on Monday February 10, 2025 @01:43PM (#43003615)
I think it’s that last part, we expect hyper growth in tech forever or it’s considered a failure.
Re:The Hired Guns Who Make Sure School Cyberattacks Stay Hidden on Saturday February 08, 2025 @11:04PM (#42988353)
Agreed, I think the focus here is that typically schools are Public entities, they should be more transparent than the usual corporation.
Thank you for actually putting some numbers out- based on my experience with AWS I’d have to guess most datacenters are actually 10-50 times more efficient with an email than a homelab would be, if measured atomically. It gets tricky because datacenters obviously want to be maxed out as much as possible vs. idle time, but the extra electricity usage is not coming from Exchange servers.

Agreed, although trying to name things in modern tech is like playing minesweeper but the board changes every round.

See Lora vs LoRA and many others.

Re:Show HN: Turn Screenshots into Designs Instantly on Saturday February 08, 2025 @08:45PM (#42987797)
To a web app guy, everything looks like a nail sort of thing but I think this would be a neat web app. I can go to https://photopea.com and get an entire photoshop clone in my browser, but it would be nice to just use your tool for screenshots when I need.
Re:Show HN: Turn Screenshots into Designs Instantly on Saturday February 08, 2025 @05:51PM (#42986889)
After reading the landing page, I'm still unsure what the exact use case is for this? Could just be misunderstanding the design-test-prototype workflow, but a straightforward example would be nice.

Edit: upon reading through it again I'm realizing it's a pretty screenshot maker. Which is neat. Unsure if it calls for a dedicated .exe though.

It seems to be that they’re doubling down on Anthropic/AI for commercial use, at least anecdotally from my friends at AWS. Not sure what Amazon proper is looking to do with it in the consumer space, or if it’ll have any real impact.
