With coding agents available for the config files, I don’t see any reason not to use nix. Easy rollbacks, temp envs with different versions, what not to like.
Re:Cloudflare Ohttp Gateway on Saturday October 03, 2026 @02:18PM (#49946480)
OHTTP is like a two-hop Tor circuit with a predetermined gateway, so if they can pin you as the first hop it's similar

Jev and LLMs give other promises. Jev's RLCD training aims to make its probabilities calibrated such that given many cases where it assigns label Y about X% probability, Y should be the correct label about X% of the time.

What bad rep?
“ Open Source: We will release the weights in two weeks after launch, once safety evaluation and hardening are complete.”

Cybersecurity capability might be nerfed

wait. If I use VLC (for example) on AppleTV to play something from my network using SMB or DLNA, I cannot get Dolby Atmos?

Is it just me or the post and the hn title don’t match? All I see is several paragraphs and a summary to the effect of “managers of managers should trust their decisions to terminate ICs” - no discussion on how to actually manage the ICs you can’t fire as a manager, which is the content the title (“Managing People You Can't Fire”) states
