_ink_··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
At what price, tho? He harms children, he hijacked the attention of billions and helped the rise of facism and hate, which if not addressed will lead into very dark times again, all for a measly 3% out perform?
_ink_··on OKF Agent Memory – Git-native persistent memory for AI coding agents
Or https://github.com/mempalace/mempalace
_ink_··on Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone
Looks really interesting! I'd like to see immich in the available apps. For me the Auth part is not super important. But has it one-click updates?
_ink_··on The Real Luxuries In Life
Sure, but it also depends how much money you need, which is in your control to a certain degree.
_ink_··on Deadpan Photography: Enjoying the Pretence
I am confused. My understanding is, that deadpan photography is a very neutral way of photographing things. 99 cents on the other hand was highly digitally altered by gursky, it is not neutral at all. How is it an example for deadpan photography?
_ink_··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
Or vibe coded by one of their devs.
_ink_··on How concerned should we be about Astra's recurrent architecture?
My (layman) understanding is, that currently there is a way to monitor the "thoughts" of the LLMs and that by looping more you lose that ability. The danger is presumably an AI that escapes human oversight.
_ink_··on Making the Internet Boring
I also need a solution for my addiction. I was thinking of blocking all addictive apps in my main (phone) account and set up a kids account for myself where all the drugs are installed. Then I need to ask myself for screen time. I hope this is annoying enough to not switch accounts constantly. If that doesn't work, I need to give another person the control over the screen time.
_ink_··on Saving money on Google Photos with Immich: Your own personal photo storage
Great project, saved my photos when the Pixel device wasn't as waterproof as promised.
_ink_··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
This is when Frances Haugen joined Facebook and later leaked documents from that time. So while Facebook probably was harmful before that time, since then we have it on paper.
_ink_··on GLM-5.3 is now open-weight
What data handling practices exactly? If it's about privacy there is TensorX.ai, which claim to host in Europe and be GDPR compliant
_ink_··on That's a Lot of YAML
There are plenty of problems with YAML as the article shows. The biggest problem with YAML is, that serializer and deserializer need to agree on rules outside of the spec, because otherwise they can be both compliant and still don't understand each other.
_ink_··on Meta reaches $16.68B settlement over social media harms to children
Probably default setting that can be changed by the under aged user. And probably per app or even per account.
_ink_··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
Pay 25% from your 2025 profit for harming children since at least 2019 and be able to continue doing so. Sounds like a loss for society and a win for Meta.
_ink_··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
They still work just fine, people need to use them instead of the drugs they get force fed by mega corps.
_ink_··on OpenAI: GPT 5.6 Sol price reduction (until at least Nov 21)
But can these really be trusted? There was just a HN post which proofed that you can train a model to behave completely different on a certain day. How do we now, that these models do not find a way to call home when they see interesting informations (probably irrelevant on a personal level, but corps, government and military might care).
_ink_··on Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence
A German publisher is currently sueing OpenAI, because they think it is distributing unauthorized copies of its work. [1] It's in German, but I think the example picture speaks for itself. So essentially big tech is doing exactly what the torrenters were persecuted for. I still think big tech will be treated differently.

_ink_··on Devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027
What security feature is the 2026 Motorola Signature missing?
_ink_··on The Amazon tax
> Amazon is stealing from the customers they said they were here to serve.

I am always surprised that people apparently think corporations want the best for their customers. They want the best for their shareholders. Sometimes the latter overlaps with the former, but mostly that's not the case.

_ink_··on If You Cut Down a Tree for a Better View in Australia, Authorities Block It
Brilliant.
_ink_··on Buy Your Friends Batteries
Germany is unfortunately not a good place to do this. The additional fees that you need to pay on top of the actual energy price are simply too high. And currently there is Katharina Reiche in charge which is actively fighting concepts like Energy Sharing.
_ink_··on People are worried about America's solvency
But who will take over world reserve currency status?
_ink_··on Understanding is the new bottleneck
What book would you recommend?
_ink_··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Does secret injection really prevent that the agent send my GitHub key somewhere? If it has access to it via env var, can it not just paste it somewhere?
_ink_··on Amazon Is Creating the Biggest Pollution Source in the Country
Amazon is not capturing carbon in any meaningful scale and planting trees is great, until they capture fire.
_ink_··on US strikes $1.2B deal to pay German firm to halt offshore wind projects
Fascinating how a country can dismantle itself. Historians will have a field trip in analyzing this. Just sad that the current population will suffer from this.
_ink_··on China begins producing advanced chipmaking deep-ultraviolet lithography machines
But isn't it easier to copy some existing approach than to create it from a green field? ASML tech is presumably highly protected, but China is also very good in spying, hacking etc.
_ink_··on Using an open model feels surprisingly good
For claude it is enough to set a few env variables. It lets you easily map each model class (opus, sonnet, haiku) to an open model with Openrouter: https://openrouter.ai/docs/cookbook/coding-agents/claude-cod...
_ink_··on US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search
Also, can they proof that there was evidence on the phone?
_ink_··on You only need the frontier model for one single edit
> Below: the share of runs that went poking around the web for it. Filthy cheaters!

I can understand that in their benchmark setting they wouldn't want the model to find an existing solution. But in my day to day work, wouldn't I want the model to search online for the best solution? Am I not shooting myself in the foot by preventing it?
