cognitiveinline··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Got it. 0 days are possible so throwaway containerization. You should blog about it, will help millions of developers and companies. Heck, even consult with the hyperscalers - they will be riddled with their workloads.
cognitiveinline··on The Philippines' big offshoring industry is growing despite AI
fwiw, I was challenging you because your assumptions are not at all what I see around in teams across companies I work with. so was taking the other side and trying to probe further.
cognitiveinline··on The Philippines' big offshoring industry is growing despite AI
ok, explain a potential day in the life of this senior, where they are not required to code with AI.

> AI is basically irrelevant unless you're really feeling a time crunch and have little alternative

Which is all of our industry. You're lucky if you're in a pocket outside of timr crunch.

cognitiveinline··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
BS.

Unless we're talking 0-day/CVE, running an unprivileged container is as trustable as a VM. The only difference is how strictly you want to hold the memory/CPU bar. Infact on linux, containers are more lightweight than VMs.

So yeah, not "vulnerable".

cognitiveinline··on Why do we assume everyone should be working?
Inflation isn't a bad thing if everyone particpates in it. The world of hoarding is passe in UBI world.
cognitiveinline··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
get a few personal gmail accounts's gemini API key, and you have 1000s of free LLM calls to flash-lite models, which are more than upto this task. one time run, and save it to your db.
cognitiveinline··on I got an email about resistance
Also a dollop of "but think of the juniors!" added in. Hypocricy in very polished words.

Luddite isn't about intelligence. It's about how much you resist automation of labour.
cognitiveinline··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (August 2026)
Whois hiring thread is wrong place to call out such things. We don't knwo if it works, and if it does, it can help the community. Be nice.

Could you post here back, if this kind of post attracts opportunities? I would also like to try such.
cognitiveinline··on Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
Sure, that's your prerogative, and kudos for not talking up open source. I'm not amazon size so can't use it, and AGPL is a no go for DB, don't want to be forced to open source my app because I use this!

Will await a MIT based fork myself.

cognitiveinline··on I won't read LLM authored fiction
This would have been a much better comment as is, originally, instead. I disagree with your thesis, but at least it would have been worth engaging with.
cognitiveinline··on Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
pgrust seems to have good momentum. AGPL is an odd license for a non web project. Postgres is MIT-like, and that drove it's adoption.

Have pgrust folks reconsidered this? Else, IMO we can have an independant rust port of pgrust, which can be MIT, which will garner more attention.

cognitiveinline··on I won't read LLM authored fiction
I think it's unhealthy, your attitude.

When you have such disdain for "piggies", and hold your opinion as the true one, on a very subjetive question, well, it's very pitiable.

cognitiveinline··on I won't read LLM authored fiction
Bad teachers are the default, and good ones exception, maybe 10:1. It's an underpaid, overworked job mostly.
cognitiveinline··on I won't read LLM authored fiction
So HPMOR and friends prove that we don't need to worry about the authorship, and focus on the experience?

It makes sense, but is the opposite of the OP.

cognitiveinline··on AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
Why ruin it for the large community who didnt notice it or mind it, and actually like it? Give cold shoulder by literally walking away. Yelling "SLOP SLOP SLOP" is opposite of cold shoulder, no?
cognitiveinline··on The Shape of Things to Come
Holy moly https://yegge.ai/essays/model-welfare/ ! Talk about spicy takes. Fable is sentient, be nice to it, or in six months I won't be your friend.

fwiw, i give it a 1/3rd chance he's right.

cognitiveinline··on Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rust
Quite useful. Currently we do overpay for the services.
cognitiveinline··on "the very foundation of modern academia has been blown to bits"
> AI is starting to show that the emperor called academia has no clothes

Why single out academia? We're seeing vast majority of knowledge work had no clothes.

>working your way through that system >pointless rituals >rethink their way of doing things, and they really don't like it

cognitiveinline··on "the very foundation of modern academia has been blown to bits"
There's an LLM prompt that will trivially do that.
cognitiveinline··on Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI
I've done security work before, and I've done it now with frontier. I've seen the difference first hand, and as the OP and so many other articles show, so have the leading experts in the world.

So either they are lying, or you may not yet be seeing and experiencing what they are. If that's wierd, ok.

cognitiveinline··on Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI
It's the opposite: humans. The most critical one (sandbox escape) has been sitting there for 13 years.

Or people don't ask questions for which the answer is known to be "None, really."

I get that many don't like what LLMs are doing to the industry, but this is just incorrect reaction to a very specific benefit that's proven beyond doubt (Security hardening).

Accept it imo - LLMs are solving very large problems that have plagued software security.

cognitiveinline··on CodePen 2.0
I don't see the ad with the adblock, but the shitty UX popup modal at the bottom will be the death of them.
cognitiveinline··on Choose DuckDB rather than SQLite
Yeah, someone who has more tokens than simple sense.
cognitiveinline··on Pulse Path – a browser puzzle where placement is the only decision
wtf is this? seems like something sublime, or completely wild crank. i don't know which!
cognitiveinline··on Rethinking legal education in the AI era
Adversarial agents and reviews means 3 is very clearly giving the benefit to AI.

Let's face it, only thing lawyers are there for right now is to take liability. And even that may not be needed 5 years from now.

Middlemen that can be automated will be automated.

cognitiveinline··on What if we made advertising illegal?
Not the best source of news, I'm afraid.

In terms how one can consider oneself about news, I think this is closer to uninformed than the other way. But that's me.
