Adding `fly.io` to my permanent "never use" list. If they're not going to lawyer up when it comes to the 4th amendment, I will never use this service.
It's so reassuring to know that all a cloud provider needs to compromise its users trust is an official looking letterhead.
Definitely 0% chance they could ever be phished by a foreign (or domestic) power with enough email (or letter) know-how.
At least other big tech companies were forced to kneel with secret (unconstitutional) FISA orders. Both Apple and Google at least try to show that they're pushing back.
EG: google shifted location data to local device only to combat Geo fencing warrants
EG: Apple [requiring warrants](https://apnews.com/article/apple-push-notification-data-cour...) to read push notifications
(why aren't push notifications E2E encrypted in the year-of-our-lord 202X?)

It's "money" but it has to be permanently connected to the Internet and it *expires* if disconnected for too long?? This is infinitely worse than Bitcoin.

> Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

> Honestly Opus 5.5 had gotten good enough I've been considering a project to have it build a new browser based on the open source Chrome and keeps the v2 in place. Just customize it specifically for my preferences and call it done. No more unexpected breaking updates. Just a browser that does its job and nothing else.

Collaboration can happen on a zoom call. We don't need to be in shoddy tuna can meeting rooms.

Why should I have to purchase something (yearly subscription, mind) in order to access something that is potentially half a meter away?
This is not how anything should work.

router.home vs router.home.arpa
.home.arpa is so clunky. Why do I have to put the acronym of a US military project in my domain to access resources on my own local network?
Yes, I know that organization was central to the development of the l Internet, but it's not relevant as a domain 40 years later.

gTLDs were a mistake. I say that as an owner of several domains with gTLDs.
There's almost no value.
Large businesses almost never use them. The potential for scams / phish / etc are now limitless.

I think you might be forgetting where you are. They call it "Hacker News" for a reason.

Initially it seems like a neat idea. I'm liking that it runs on mobile firefox.
Seems to break with my first query, "after 6" / "after 6pm". It can do "2 to 3". Doesn't seem quite ready?

Yes, I really don't want to read about American politics when discussing operating systems and technology. It's already shoehorned into so many discussions that it no longer makes any sense.
A blog post talking about security but refusing to mention which operating was vulnerable to an exploit out of virtue signaling(?) is absurdist comedy.
If the author is referring to Omarchy, should we also stop using and mentioning Ruby on Rails? Preposterous.

It's a stretch to compare LLM training/inference to "programming".
Also you're totally missing the point. the parent poster's account (with the gibberish name) was minutes old at the time of my post.

Is this a troll post? Claude is not "programmed" at all.

YAML is a nightmare fuel spec.
In its quest to make markup "human readable", it has created countless footguns.
I honestly prefer XML at this point.

So many (disclosed) claude-isms. The subject is interesting, the LLM-"hydrated" text is not.
It feels like work to skim through all the unnecessary em-dashes and actually read the article.
Granted, the article is not long, but I just don't have it in me. I already parse Claude output for my day job and I don't enjoy doing it for my leisure time.
