Re:OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says on Thursday September 24, 2026 @06:50AM (#49828840)
Agent without guardrails is not rogue. Rogue is something else. In this case OpenAI deliberately launched an agent to do action A, but it went further and breached the website. Feels more like a car accident which hit government building.
Not yet peer reviewed
IMO if it is not absolutely net positive, it is very close to being that

Re:rrweb – record and replay debugger for the web on Monday July 22, 2024 @11:10AM (#41035362)
Do you mean a time travel debugger? I believe it would be an awesome feature to be able to record & replay program execution. I imagine the recordings would be huge in size, as there are many more degrees of freedom on backend than it is on frontend.
Re:The Threads Creator Paradox on Saturday July 13, 2024 @07:26PM (#40957668)
My main issue with threads is that O can’t browse without signing up. Thus, it fails to form a value proposition.
Some extra piece of background: 2b2t is a famous server for people trying to build great structures and then for other people to snipe their locations and grief said great structures. So this exploit makes a lot of sense.

DBeaver is great and has been in my arsenal of dev tools for at least 5 years.
Re:The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6 on Thursday February 29, 2024 @06:58PM (#39556858)
it is likely underlying services / drivers are to blame. I have similar issues with bluetooth and my gpu preventing sleep / causing screen issues
Re:The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6 on Thursday February 29, 2024 @11:19AM (#39551362)
KDE plasma is the main reason I could switch completely from windows / macos for work and hobbies. Very mature DE that can challenge commercial solutions.
Re:What it was like working for Gitlab on Sunday February 11, 2024 @02:13PM (#39337638)
Probably the company grew, and standards grew as well. It is difficult to do layoffs / fire people based on perf in Netherlands, so it seems that's why it was only hinted for the person to leave. I am with the company on this one. Business is business, and it's both manager's and employee's responsibility to grow and keep up with the demands. Learn from errors and move on.

Re:AMD Unveils AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT Graphics Card on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @11:30AM (#38928035)
There are rumors AMD won't do high end cards anymore. So 7900xtx becomes the last one to compete with NVidia on that front.

Honestly, after owning 7900xtx for one year, I find it difficult to saturate it with tasks. I only play non-graphics heavy games like rimworld or aoe2de. Sometimes I play Hogwards Legacy with my partner, and the performance there is not the highest imaginable. But I read online that is because the game is not well optimized. Perhaps, you don't even need more powerfull graphics, since games are oriented at mid-market anyways.

Props to the author. At this point, CRA should just post a reference implementation of all the formulas, so that small businesses can benefit from it.

Invisible creatures have been a hack to make a lot of channeling spells work since Warcraft 3
Maybe someone from higher up called the board?

Re:Ask HN: Where do I find good code to read? on Thursday August 24, 2023 @03:39PM (#37253601)
I like gecko / chromium source codes. My knowledge of javascript and browser APIs helps understand browser source code even if there is no documentation.
