Re:We're Training a Figma-Fluent Editing Model on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @03:23PM (#50357661)
The Figma MCP is so bad, it is almost unusable. Letting the calling AI write some javascript to implement a design?
So many Java trust stores never seeing this update.
Re:C vs. C#: racing VLC's Gaussian blur on Saturday October 24, 2026 @10:40AM (#50221705)
This is all and nice, but I can debug a native C plugin. Is this possible for an AOT compiled C# plugin? Or can perhaps the C# plugin be also run with the normale JITting runtime being loaded?
Imagine ZScaler getting hacked. Brrrrr....

Those local APIs already exist. It is called Microsoft Foundry Local: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry-local/get-st...

Supports GPU, NPU and CPU.

Neither does OpenID Connect, it is all form submits or GET redirects.
The Digital Euro also.

Why not? The flow can be entirely client side. OpenID discovery and PAR is optional and those would require direct connections

Re:Defrag98: Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter Simulator Online on Sunday August 30, 2026 @02:59PM (#49501702)
I do (not) miss the part where it restarts halfway because something got written to disk.
That is isn’t even IIS but mostly SCHANNEL and http.sys.
So natural caverns - empty spaces in the Earth - are used to store oil, but they shouldn’t be drained because it damages them permanently. Can anyone explain why it is useful as storage then? It is like a battery you arent allowed to discharge past 30%.

Not a waste either, it doesn't cost them anything. The debt is on EA.
Re:Most countries provide between 20 and 40 paid days off on Thursday August 06, 2026 @01:13PM (#49199503)
In the Netherlands: This exactly, generally after a few days you get a call by the "company doctor" (it is not from the company, but the literal translation) with an invite to discuss your health issues.
Figma is notoriously bad, by having the agent write javascript to communicate with the mcp.
Intent is hard to prove if it is not published.

Yup, Windows Azure App Service is just IIS.
> When it comes to the big AI players feeding their future models I 100% just assume that they suck up any data we send them. Am I cynical?

There is a reason enterprise contracts and plans exist. And I think even on that account we're going to find out at some point that LLMs are training on that extremely useful data.

Re:Changing How We Develop Ladybird on Saturday June 06, 2026 @04:18AM (#48422656)
What I fail to understand: Who or how are these AI generated pull requests paid for? There is nothing to gain financially by creating all these AI generated pull requests - yet the increasingly more expensive tokens have to be paid for somehow. How is it paid for? Or are these authors using all their free GPT5.4-mini tokens from Github until hitting the rate limit, day after day? Or are they running some local AI model on their GPU like Qwen and heating the room in they work in, day after day?
Re:86Box v6.0 on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @12:02AM (#48365883)
How is the stability? A few years ago I could barely run The Great Green Mouse Hotel because of emulation flaws causing the CPU to do weird things and either crash apps or the Windows 98 itself, or the emulator.
Re:No More JetBrains Products for Me on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @03:55PM (#48198595)
That is possible, but if swapping happens due to memory pressure it can still cause slowdowns in unrelated parts of the same or other processes.
If Bambu Lab goes after Orcaslicer, then it makes sense they will get scrutinised for the AGPL violation.

Actually, they should not. That collision and winning the lottery would be even rarer.

Re:Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision... on Friday May 08, 2026 @10:14AM (#48063520)
Well it would be statistically even rarer for that UUID collision to happen and the earth to be destroyed by an asteroid.
What is the difference between this and using normal OCR and then running that output through a LLM? It seems such a bazooka way to kill a fly to me using a modelime Qwen.
