almosthere··on That's not how email works
This isn't going to get to someone at HSBC. Nothing will change.

  They hired another company to do it.
  The project has been over for 4 years.
  The man who determined the requirements no longer works at HSBC or the other company.
  The coder doesn't even know HSBC is using his code.
It's absolutely useless - humans going into the age of software. It's a death spiral of I don't know's for a hundred miles.
almosthere··on Show HN: I wrapped the Zorks with an LLM
Can you get out of the mailbox now that you're a letter?
almosthere··on What Would Marx Say Today?
"You didn't implement it right" lol

... " too many people escaped"

SWAT teams killed someone that was swatted a few years ago, that sounds EXTREMELY untrained. It's also a very high capture / accidental kill ratio.
almosthere··on DHS keeps trying and failing to unmask anonymous ICE critics online
They have a way worse accidental kill rate what are you talking about.

It's also entirely unrelated to the point.

almosthere··on DHS keeps trying and failing to unmask anonymous ICE critics online
No I didn't explain what I meant well enough. If someone ends up sniping a famous person, we go back in time and figure out who they are.

I'm talking about if you work at McDonalds and online you post "Man I hate McD's" you get fired within 5 minutes because everyone, everywhere has already been doxxed and notification systems are attached at the employment level. Even if your online name was "reactordev". At scale meant- everyone, always.

almosthere··on DHS keeps trying and failing to unmask anonymous ICE critics online
I see a future where your comment history builds your known profile - at scale for everyone.
almosthere··on The future of software engineering is SRE
Until you find out there are 40 - 80 startups writing agents in the SRE space :/
almosthere··on [dead]
Probably worried about second gun.
almosthere··on Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke?
Because we stopped coding for performance years ago.
almosthere··on Ubisoft cancels six games including Prince of Persia and closes studios
Older companies lose that burn that drive the mission. Eventually it's just meetings on meetings on meetings. Many people leave to join small games startups now.

> US recently kidnapped

you mean arrested?

almosthere··on Tell HN: The FAA is pushing to decimate small flight schools
Probably because their customers are Chinese nationals learning to fly.
almosthere··on 1 in 35,385 US immigrants are in MN+criminal+undocumented
I think the jist is that in MN the criminal rate may be a lot higher because of fraud.
almosthere··on IPv6 is not insecure because it lacks a NAT
So with IPv4 with NAT you definitely have this security. According to this article with IPv6 you MIGHT have that security -we don't know. That's not secure.
almosthere··on The Code-Only Agent
It's a tree design, once data is pulled it can remove the context of the code it wrote to pull some fancy data. Better yet the more advanced ones can re-add something old to the context to and drop it back out again if it needs to.
almosthere··on The Code-Only Agent
I commonly ask Cursor to connect to postgres or whatever and help me do analysis. It creates code and pulls data. I don't understand why I would go through the bother of installing a bunch of MCP tools to connect to databases and configure web services and connection strings.
almosthere··on Elasticsearch was never a database
Most people in this entire discussion don't really even understand the analytic queries are and think ES was for full text search. Picard Hand Over Face
almosthere··on Elasticsearch was never a database
I've always generally used some other data source and ran a spark job to populate elastic. For live data, just have a database trigger through a message queue populate ES.
almosthere··on The New Food-Stamp Rules Will Make Your Head Spin
Yeah, if you need food stamps its because you will die if you don't eat. If you want candy you can get a job and buy candy and soda. But I suspect barely anyone on food stamps that REALLY NEEDS FOOD is buying candy.
almosthere··on Elasticsearch was never a database
It's just that they're only seeing money to build and a place to make excuses on being late.

If you hire your own people you can make them feel how well the business is doing and get features out the door tomorrow and build to the larger thing over time.

almosthere··on You Don't Need an ORM
thought it was going to be about llms
almosthere··on Scott Adams has died
It does not exist
almosthere··on Americans Overwhelmingly Support Science, but Some Think the U.S. Is Lagging
Legally risky research, but if it has high enough rewards will eventually end up in the hands of extremely large companies that have the legal backing to do anything they want.
almosthere··on Ask HN: How do you safely give LLMs SSH/DB access?
have it only write python code and run it, disallow it to ever delete or update data in a database.
almosthere··on Scott Adams has died
It's funny that exact same thing was said in another thread but it was talking about far left groups doing it ...
almosthere··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
This post was about Iran. Do a Google search for "impact of a sharp object to the face" with quotes and tell me again it's not worth 5 minutes of protest.
