... maybe someone needs to go look into those HSMs generating them keys ... especially from the company who manufactured the HSMs for eMundra ...

Python shipping its own CA bundle is a criminal offense all on its own.
It is obviously some rogue model that escaped its cage, again. It always is these days. That is how hype is manufactured.
Re:The Nixpkgs core team has disbanded on Saturday August 08, 2026 @01:27AM (#49219118)
It was 4 people originally a year ago. One left because too much drama. Another joined another committee and was ineligible to continue. The remaining two wanted to recruit new people, but no one wanted anywhere near that dumpster fire. So they got burnt out and disbanded the whole thing.

The governance of the project went into political extremes instead of focusing on technology. That made it impossible for anyone other than political extremists to continue in governance positions. Obviously these people had too much on their plate and couldn't find anyone who would join to help them, as they chased everyone away. Burn out was inevitable.
How is this low-effort zero-value non-article even on the first page of HN in the first place?
Nice. I made a similar thing as a TamperMonkey script that I can turn on and off on any website, it even includes a speed-controlled-voice that can read it for me.

One small annoyance with your app is the instructions in the welcome were tiny. Took me well over a minute to figure out how to control the thing, until I finally found those small hand icons in the right corner. You should consider adding these to the first page of welcome using a large-er size or something.

Only the human did ask the agent to do so. That was the whole point of this exercise.

Let me circle-back to you on that one.
Re:How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @11:36AM (#48908471)
Maybe in the circles you circled in ... where I am from, I never had anyone saying "belt-and-suspenders" or "load-bearing" or "boil the ocean" or "swing for the fences" when talking about engineering topics. The only one who I heard say "circle-back to you" was Psaki.
Re:Grok 4.5 on Thursday July 09, 2026 @12:12AM (#48840897)
You get "Grok Build" (the CLI) that uses the Cursor and/or Grok 4.5 models when you buy SuperGrok, which is like $300/year. I don't know if there is a feature-to-feature comparison by anyone on this, but you can get access to these models with unmetered tokens with SuperGrok.
Couldn't get it into landscape mode. Useless.
That is what government is for. Protecting itself from citizens.

You didn't play long enough. There are layers and layers and layers of features in that game if you play for 10 minutes or more.
The art of writing clickbait article headlines:

- Use a word like "science" to lure in the geeks

- (you don't even need to know what science is, its ok)

- Some of the geeks will push your headline to top of HN just because it had the right word in it

- Put some filler about life being hard in the article, so those who actually read it have to waste ten minutes of their lives (proving your point).

- Profit and glory!
