clayhacks··on Hypergrowth isn’t always easy
It’s not super well fleshed out by Tailscale but they have a guide.

https://tailscale.com/kb/1118/custom-derp-servers

My last company ran our own DERP servers to have more consistent endpoints we controlled

clayhacks··on Kimi Released Kimi K2.5, Open-Source Visual SOTA-Agentic Model
I assume this allows them to sue for different amounts. And not discourage too many people from using it.
clayhacks··on Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability
Not that I’ve found. Seems pretty reasonable trade off to me if it notified both parties rather than just the person with the tag
clayhacks··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
I’ve seen a bunch of my colleagues say this when I ask about the code they’ve submitted for review. Incredibly frustrating, but likely to become more common
clayhacks··on Karpathy on Programming: “I've never felt this much behind”
You are certainly dumber than them if you think they are AGI. These models are smart and getting smarter, but they are not AGI.
clayhacks··on iOS 26.3 brings AirPods-like pairing to third-party devices in EU under DMA
So this tap to pair won’t work in the US? The side loading stuff I can understand to restrict to the EU, but this just seems like a nice feature for everyone
clayhacks··on US blocks all offshore wind construction, says reason is classified
America is still the largest historical polluter by a mile and China has already hit peak emissions. They are doing much better than America on this front. At this rate they’ll hit net zero before we will
clayhacks··on "Internet Archive services are temporarily offline."
The main office is in San Francisco which had a huge power outage, likely related to this disruption
clayhacks··on How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
I think some people can afford those quality goods, the same percentage roughly as could afford it before things got cheaper. The people complaining are people who couldn’t afford those quality goods earlier and now are buying the cheaper versions they can afford. But that has shaped broader consumer preferences for cheaper goods across the board
clayhacks··on Steam Machine
You can now have steam families and have two members play different games from the same library. Assuming you were using two machines you could just have a second account as a family member and play both. Or do you have a crazy beefy computer and are trying to run two different games on one machine?
clayhacks··on US NSA alleged to have launched a cyber attack on Chinese timekeeping agency
It seems like the clandestine nature of these attacks gives enough plausible deniability for the nations to not pick up arms. China has done a few comparable attacks on US assets, but the US hasn’t escalated on those in the past.

Personally I think if one of these cyber attacks either hit a large/important enough civilian target, like shutting down a power grid for days, or a reasonably important military target, like a helicopter midair or something, then escalation might happen, but hard to say

clayhacks··on Nvidia has produced the first Blackwell wafer on US soil
They are majority Taiwanese employees for now, but I’m sure they’re hiring Americans to grow and backfill. They just wanted to bootstrap the knowledge and wisdom, but over enough time that can be shared and spread among Americans as well
clayhacks··on Solar and wind power has grown faster than electricity demand this year
Shocking considering the number of data centres being built and spiking demand
clayhacks··on Hackers leak Qantas data on 5M customers after ransom deadline passes
The other solution is making those “less than ideal” countries have more attractive legal economic opportunities so that crime isn’t an attractive alternative.

Basically making crime no longer pay best

clayhacks··on Python 3.14.0 (final) is here
More like Pithon is finally here
clayhacks··on Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol
Yes of course, let me buy a sizable chunk of one of the largest companies in the world so I can be on the five men.

Owning a few shares is not the same thing as actually making all the money someone at the top of Google is making.

clayhacks··on Show HN: Vibe Linking
I can guess why you do it, but feels a bit restrictive to list some specific companies here. You say LLM, but not like generic “MAP” site or generic “SHOPPING” site. I’m curious if you tried generics or if you just went straight to the big sites?
clayhacks··on The American system is badly broken
I think it’s true the American system is broken, but I think the two Americas narrative is a bit of an oversimplification. There’s definitely plenty of people (over represented on this site) that aren’t yacht wealthy, but also aren’t paycheck to paycheck broke. Well paid laborers (SWE, other engineers, consultants) that can afford most day to day good, but struggle a bit more on big purchases like housing. I think ideally we’d tax the wealthy enough to allow more people to fall into that bucket of doing well but not crazy multiple homes well.
clayhacks··on YAML document from hell (2023)
I believe TOML can always be serialized to JSON. And TOML is in the python standard library in newer pythons. It’s also used as the suggest format for `pyproject.toml` in python
clayhacks··on DeepSeek writes less secure code for groups China disfavors?

clayhacks··on A Federal Appellate Court Finds the NLRB to Be Unconstitutional
“A riot is the language of the unheard” -MLK

This ruling is only gonna prevent workers from being heard through the courts and legal system, at a time when workers are being more frequently fired and replaced by AI. Wildcat strikes will be more likely and other illegal activities will seem more justified. Terrible decision that will have consequences sooner or later

clayhacks··on Show HN: Stagewise – frontend coding agent for real codebases
Weird how you can’t sign up except via the CLI. And pricing isnt posted publicly and usage isn’t documented. The docs leave something to be desired as well. Would be nice to show more info for running this with a backend process as well
clayhacks··on Better Transit Could Solve Big Cities' Housing Problems
Great article for the most part, then throws in abundant parking? Great transit should reduce the need for parking, such that current levels are adequate, and in the long term go down.
clayhacks··on Open Sauce is a confoundingly brilliant Bay Area event
Is there stats to back this up? I imagine not every kid who watches these creators becomes an engineer, but do more become engineers than non watchers? Or less? I’d be willing to bet more do, even if it’s still not a huge majority. I mean anecdotally I know a lot of engineer friends of mine who like these creators too. I’m a professional software engineer now after watching some of these people when I was younger and being involved in my high schools robotics team. I went to open sauce and saw a bunch of local robotics teams there too. Again maybe they won’t all be engineers but I’m sure more will than the average
clayhacks··on Employee – CEO pay gap historically wide
What sources do you have for that?

Unionized employees make more than their non-unionized counterparts [0]. Even if the top earners to bottom earners gap shrank in relative terms, in absolute terms both would likely be higher.

clayhacks··on Uv: Running a script with dependencies
Python import names are not necessarily unique or the name of the package on pypi/pip. Something like PyYaml is imported as yaml, but potentially other packages could supply a slightly different yaml to import
clayhacks··on Pascal's Scams (2012)
1% chance of humanity going extinct is exactly the pascals mugging doomerism. If someone thinks there’s like >10% chance they’re probably actively working on like AI safety or something else to stop it.
clayhacks··on OpenICE: Open-Source US Immigration Detention Dashboard
It would not be a direct substitution of American labor if these people remain deported. There’s been labor shortages in many of these industries for years, there’s reason to believe that even more money will be lost by businesses that couldn’t hire enough people. I’d love it if they raised wages, but business owners usually aren’t keen on that, and if they did they’d likely raise prices as a result. The other possibility could be bankruptcy or offshoring of these businesses. I think if anything the $1.49 billion is an underestimate of the impact.
clayhacks··on A software conference that advocates for quality
As LLMs lower the cost of creating software, shouldn’t that change this equation? Perhaps we can be focusing on creating well done optimizations now to give more data to LLMs to have them do future optimizations on other projects. Of course you’d still eventually hit a lower bound on any returns at all, but it will be way lower than the pre-LLM era
clayhacks··on RISC-V Solidifies Presence in China as Global Momentum Builds
Seems to be all good signs and impressive coordination and resource sharing. I’m curious when we’ll start seeing more mainstream devices using entirely riscv SoCs. As in some top 5 smartphone or laptop, not just like a random RC car or drone or camera
