rektlessness

I didn't keep up with my MetaARPA membership dues. Account is probably suspended by now, or deleted.

Proud exSDF member from the old days. SDF was considered 'vintage' back when i joined so must be doubly so now. Was introduced to Gopher back then too, along with NetBSD.

What a blast from the past to see SDF.org make it to HN in 2026. Proud grandpa. lol.

I came here thinking the topic was on AI model routing, but it isnt.

OpenWRT project maintains a list of 'supported' hardware you can choose from. You can also check the OpenWRT forumns for what people are recommending and why.

I run a similar setup, just with different models. I also use herdr, which lets me have the same project worked on side by side by different models, each in its own git worktree.

I was cleaning up a bunch of stale SSH access creds I had forgotten about and decided to migrate to FIDO2 keys.

Wrote up the cleanup: isolate the clanker, retire the leftovers, move admin logins to a hardware key with touch and PIN. https://gist.github.com/AUAggy/c1881c1efd85b6cc46d3564ac9012...

If you are on a compatible Apple MacBook you can also use Touch-ID https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50175882

Show them how to be resourceful, think for themselves and own their decisions by practicing it yourself and telling stories.

I bought a book on a subject I wanted to understand and read it to my kid every night with silly voices that sent them to sleep. They’re older now with a solid grasp of those foundational topics, which has helped their schoolwork and interactions with teachers, even if they’ve been labelled the class nerd. Works both ways. lol

Enjoy parenting. Be present.

Maybe just maybe the real reason DeepSeek does this is because they are altruistic.

Deepseek released just enough to stir the pot but not enough to cook your own from scratch.

Wake me up when we can clone, point it at a dozen H100s we own, and get a working production service.

Anthropic and OpenAI will do just fine.

"Wireframe Puffy" T-shirt design with the 'human lips' was always my favorite. Hope they bring it back.

Forget the artwork and check out the accompanying song and lyrics for the new release. I think it's one of the funnier ones so far. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#80

Same reason I migrated my keys to ed25519-sk and began using touch and PIN hardware security dongles to approve auth.

Perhaps, but shouldn't be at my own cost if not disclosed before hand.

It’s just so heartwarming to see we are completely indentured to both LinkedIn and GitHub, and forced to curate fake personas and upload our life's work just to secure a paycheck.

Yes, throwaway VPS for interview coding tasks should be the new norm.

KMPG and Palantir already use the FDE playbook to great success. And we've all found value in a free 12-month vendor trial, with no obligation to commit. No idea what the fuss is about.

All non-profits need to do is demand model-agnostic deliverables, insist on handoff documentation, and budget for switching costs before the year ends.

I tried OpenRouter Fusion with the budget model option but swapped out DeepSeek v3.2 for DeepSeek V4 Pro. The results weren't that bad. An interesting take on quorums for sure. However I did notice a tool call to Claude Opus 4.8 for 1168 - 237 tokens, and $0.0118 cost, which I cannot account for because Opus was not in my selection and only revealed in logs. Strange.

I am building HNSignals: HNSignals transforms Hacker News comment discussions into executive-level intelligence briefs.

It synthesizes comments into structured reports in a Chief-of-Staff style for tech leaders.

Long-term access recovery typically requires rituals like annual check-ins, media rotation, and human drills. We already do this with annual fire-drills.

As our identities get more fragmented across devices, clouds, and cranial volatility, I expect digital wills that withstand real-world decay to become the norm.

All this boils down to is that AI wins when it amplifies engineers, not replaces them. And the best code still comes from devs who ultrathink.

Broad, ambiguous language like 'substantially composed by AI' will trigger overcompliance rendering disclosures meaningless, but maybe that was the plan.

Are people using Claude max 20x plan for personal pet projects? Are these expensed? Have you liquidated all other hobbies to fund this? Asking for a friend.

GitHub Actions isn’t killing engineering teams; complacency in CI design is. CI should be reliable, inspectable, and reproducible, not just convenient.

I've been on pro-tier membership and never used Opus until now. Just gave Opus 4.6 a whirl. OMG. What have I been missing.

I was wondering how KiloCode Kilo Pass pricing compared to OpenRouter's top-up pricing, and did some digging and discovered the main difference is that OpenRouter provides a standard API key (sk-or-...) that works in any application (LangChain, curl, your own Python apps), while Kilo Pass credits are tied to the Kilo Gateway, which is designed to power the KiloCode Extension (VS Code/JetBrains) and CLI. KiloCode does not appear to allow you generate a "Kilo API Key" to use in your external Python scripts or third-party apps. But the monthly bonus credits are sweet.

I'm not a researcher but i did 'write' a 'paper' for personal consumption to dissect a thought experiment I had on thriving in the Age of AI, Neural Networks, and Quantum Logic.

It examined the psychological and strategic archetypes that determine success or failure during periods of radical technological disruption, using the internet revolution (1995-2015) as a historical baseline. I don't know if it was any good, but it was a fun few hours of exploration.

It is a bit weird watching the industry pivot from ‘no-code’ to AI agents. But to be honest, i think if a prompt can knock out a bespoke app in five minutes, the traditional SaaS model is going to be as relevant as a fax machine, leaving the real value in whomever owns the pipes and the trust to actually run the stuff, and maintain it, once we've pivoted to the next shiny paradigm shift.

Thanks for trying it out. I set a high water mark of >50 comments to ensure signal quality. There is also a 5 min cache. Try any story with 50+ comments. Here's one: https://hnsignals.com/signal/6135833

Truly savage. Well done. Lots of laughs. Way funnier than my contribution, which is probably why mine hasn't picked up any traction yet. Would be interesting to read a brief once your Story hits 50+ comments.
