Re:Ask HN: The new wave of AI agent sandboxes? on Saturday March 28, 2026 @06:39AM (#47553356)
I would recommend nono - it's practically 0 seconds of latency, developed by the creator of sigstore which is used by google, github, and secures a lot of the open source software supply chain.

What I like most is, its like a runtime `nono run ... agent` and there is not managing vms, containers ,mounts.

Re:Secure Secrets Management for Cursor Cloud Agents on Saturday March 14, 2026 @10:16AM (#47376941)
This sounds like the approach the nono project took: it injects a phantom token, so the sandboxed agent never gets to see the real key, it has a session scoped, time limited dummy key https://nono.sh/docs/cli/features/credential-injection
How is the diversity, duplication?

Don't find the time to learn after work, learn during work (unless you work in a different industry, such as construction).

The withings sleep mat analyser seems very accurate (Its approved by the European Medical council). It diaganosed my sleep apnea.

So the biggest improvement was likely more from you stopping eating of junk food (ice creams, bakery et cetera) than set a time window for eating?
Re:Why the vagus nerve is so exciting to scientists on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @07:52AM (#37234476)
I feel down this rabbit hole after reading Breath by James Nestor. Got serious about practising 5.5 second inhales / exhales and started forcing myself to adjust to nose breathing (even during exercise)

It did a total number on my anxiety levels and pulled me out of the constant cortisol fuelled fight or flight mode I found myself as I slowly crashed and burned into the ground

I wish someone had taught me as a child, it would have made a marked difference on my life, I am sure of it.

> Mindfulness and breathing where you see the thought come and let it go is preferred for anxiety sufferers

That was exactly the approach I was doing.

> If you tried to follow all your anxious thoughts and delve into their "meaning"

That is the opposite of meditation, I've never heard of that being described anywhere as meditation, that sounds like daily rumination / churn.

Not OP, but it happened to me. Started meditation to deal with anxiety and the introspection that came with it, ended up with me on the verge of a complete breakdown. I started off doing Sam Harris and then progressed to doing an hour or more each day. I had some moments of insight and then hit some dark night of the soul which wrecked me, I was close to admitting myself to hospital for psychological help.

What fixed me was finally reading Breath by James Nestor and how you breath has a direct impact on the parasympathetic / sympathetic nervous system. I learned to take long slow breaths into the diaphragm and too nose breath all of the time. Basically my vagus nerve was fried from burn out and being in the fight flight mode of the parasympathetic system, as opposed to the 'rest and digest' chilled nature of sympathetic nervous system.

My own view now, is that mediation should not be attempted (at least by anyone with mental issues) until the parasympathetic / sympathetic system is balanced and stress is significantly reduced. This should start with the breath.

Re:Wheat Gluten Spurs Brain Inflammation (In Mice) on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @11:00AM (#37063746)
This makes sense. We tend to think of wheat as being a wholesome natural food source, but modern wheat is far from that. It's genetically engineered and drenched in herbicide far beyond its original easily digested form.
Coincidently this is the first time of hearing of nitter.net, do I need to open an account there too?
I find people in general are increasingly less productive, anxious, depressed and lonely. It seems to the sign of the times, everyone seems burnt out.
The whole thing will fail once they realise how impossible this is to implement.
How are you going to monetize this? I would be very nervous building a business around an extension calling someone elses API. You only have to look at the drama that played out at reddit a few weeks ago, to see how risky it is.

Ask HN: What is your approach to dealing with merge conflicts day in / day out?

I am working on a project with quite few others (OSS) and constantly hitting merge conflicts, which I then turn into a dumpster fire. Sometimes things go well, other times I just close the PR.

They are a business, not a social club, and so they will do whatever safeguards that business (maximises its profits). If an employee tells a customer to 'fuck off', they are going to fire them, as its not good for business.

Engineers with unicorn / my little pony avatars is a slight red flag to me. I am as socialist as they come (I am not even American, I am Brit and a left wing), but I always try to not engage with those folks on twitter, to easy to get caught up in personal attacks if anything you say is remotely misunderstood. It can quite easily turn into a digital lynching.
It's really not far off ageism. I can't ever imagine them giving points for a whiter shade of skin.
This is not mentioned until half way through, but I find fascinating..
