9cb14c1ec0··on A thousand fewer paths to root
Are places like NSA and Unit 8200 panicking right now that all their vulnerabilities are being patched?
9cb14c1ec0··on Frustrated ranchers want people to quit 'rescuing' their working guardian dogs
God forbid animals should be allowed to have any freedom. As we all know, they best taken care of by forcing them to remain indoors 24/7.
9cb14c1ec0··on TCP Use-After-Free: CVE-2026-98432 / CVSS 9.8
I suppose I'm not the only one feeling worn out by this tidal wave of vulnerabilities that I somehow have to keep up to?
9cb14c1ec0··on Herdr has released native app
Have you tried T3 Code? IMO it goes a step further on UI by dropping the idea of interacting via a terminal. Also it has had an official mobile app for months.
9cb14c1ec0··on Quad9 to exit France
Sometimes I wonder if the days of a global internet are drawing to a close.
9cb14c1ec0··on Security Disclosure
Easy, all the bad guys need to do is access whatever system stores the decryption keys.
9cb14c1ec0··on Tsc-ts: TypeScript written in TypeScript
All the twitter types are busy rewriting typescript to speed it up, just because they can. It's becoming a meme.
9cb14c1ec0··on RPKI now protects 70% of internet routes
Or they could order Western telecoms to depeer with Russian ones. That would be even more effective.
9cb14c1ec0··on Wanted to download an ISO, ended up writing a kernel exploit
Yes, there are different levels of verification. But even so, there is still a skill element involved in social engineering Opus or Fable into doing what you want. People who know how to do this don't talk about how they do it, for fear Anthropic with adjust their systems to stop it.
9cb14c1ec0··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
For as clever as some of the spy techniques are, they sure don't seem to be very good on opsec.

9cb14c1ec0··on I turned my unused Kindle into a photo frame with GPT-6 Astra
Opus 5.5 has built Lineage ROMs for me for 3 different devices in the last couple of weeks, that do not have official Lineage support or any one else working on them.

Quite impressive what these models are capable of.

9cb14c1ec0··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Unless they are dumb, there are foreign nations that have sleeper agents with stockpiles of drone hidden on US soil.
9cb14c1ec0··on US man given prison sentence for bot-farming music streams
More like a lot of people.
9cb14c1ec0··on Vibecoding Photoshop: Time and pressure
My brother recently bought a used piece of industrial machinery. The $1500 control software did not come with it. In less than an hour, with no prior coding or vibe coding experience, he prompted claude.ai (yes the web version) to create a functional control app, nicely packaged as a .deb file for installing on linux. (It didn't cost him anything as he used my claude sub and it didn't noticeably impact my quota).
9cb14c1ec0··on Classified estimates show the NSA is paying billions to test AI models
Testing, yea right. No doubt they have gone on an epic AI assisted hacking spree. Gotten get persistence in all the things before vulnerabilities start getting patched.
9cb14c1ec0··on Allow babywearing carriers on planes
Exactly. There is no way most parents could keep ahold of a child during 9Gs, unless they have the grip strength to lift several tons.
9cb14c1ec0··on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges
Meanwhile, my non-smart fridge continues to run just fine. Why do we need smart fridges? That was always a bad idea.
9cb14c1ec0··on How OpenAI Used Its Own LLMs to Design Its Jalapeño Chip
This is cool. I'm so eager for faster innovation in the hardware space, as opposed to some people's concept of innovation being who can make the most addictive social feed.
9cb14c1ec0··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
Given the huge amount of money being spent on AI chips in the US, what prevents US AI labs from doing the same level of software optimization? It could be a solve for some of the capacity constraints.
9cb14c1ec0··on How much of F-Droid is LLM generated?
Same here. I'm still a better software architect that AI, but there is no question that my AI generated and reviewed code has fewer bugs than code I hand write. It takes some humility to acknowledge that your coding prowess is less of a useful skill than it used to be.
9cb14c1ec0··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Working on a fork of https://github.com/JoinChang/ghostlock-oneplus

Trying to root several android tablets that so far have not been liberated.

9cb14c1ec0··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Makes me want to be a frontier model provider just to get the ring-side seat on what every bad actor in the world is doing.
9cb14c1ec0··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
A lot of people would be really mad if their card rewards disappeared.
9cb14c1ec0··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
> The answer to that is to "donate" to about 270 congress critters.

Not too far off. You gotta ask why such a lucrative business has a near monopoly, and the answer is not that potential competitors don't notice their profit margin.

9cb14c1ec0··on What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks
Yes. As a merchant it's pretty cool that the money just shows up and I don't have to chase down as much bad debt. The processing costs easily pay for themselves.
9cb14c1ec0··on The two Christian saints who are the Buddha
> Writing Jesus into the canon 2000 years later as a seperate but equal entity was bound to be fraught with continuity issues.

If you pay any attention to Christian history, you would know that this goes back to the very founding instead.

9cb14c1ec0··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
Not necessarily. You might want to rate limit bots instead of disallowing them.
9cb14c1ec0··on The moral panic over data centres is foolish
> "sweeten" the deal for the local towns where they are building

Yes. And datacenter companies have to foolish to slow-walk doing this. When you are building a 10 to 50 billion dollar construction project, it may be worth giving the local town 100 million (plus 10k directly to every resident) to do with as they please, and it would certainly grease the wheels.

9cb14c1ec0··on IBM Bob
Does anyone actually care about what IBM's skill files say?
9cb14c1ec0··on US Military disables ad trackers on troops' phones
Just throwing this link out into the void:

Wonder why it took the Pentagon so long to take the ads risk seriously.
