edaemon··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
Those inconveniences prevent tragedies like this one.
edaemon··on PHP web runtimes (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619)
Even assuming they didn't have prior knowledge, I don't understand why AWS is going to take 24+ hours to incorporate an upstream fix.
edaemon··on Show HN: Jev Cards, Can you beat a vision model at a picture quiz?
Interesting. Jev is certainly faster but it was wrong quite a bit more than I was.
edaemon··on AI is a tool and using it well takes skill
I'm still amazed at how many problems people come to me with which I am able to resolve immediately by reading the error message they are looking at!
edaemon··on Solar panels that plug into your wall
Plug in solar inverters turn off when they detect a loss of grid power. Anti-islanding is a requirement for them to be certified.
edaemon··on Solar panels that plug into your wall
These systems monitor for a loss of grid power and turn off when they detect an outage. UL 3700 is the standard, if you want to read more about it.
edaemon··on Google Playground: Create and play custom games
Isn't that what Sora was?
edaemon··on Tokens too cheap to meter
Those aren't really equivalent. Iran is affecting the supply of oil, an input. China can affect the supply of solar panels, but they would have to do something pretty drastic to affect the supply of the input. Sunlight is going to keep reaching the solar panels that were set up prior to any kind of embargo.

I think maybe they're making a joke about the Ruger Mini-14? It's a rifle.
edaemon··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Wasn't that a limited time promotion from OpenRouter? I didn't see anything from OpenAI themselves.
edaemon··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Volume is the problem. There's so much more of it now. Many platforms I used to enjoy are just overwhelmed with valueless content.
edaemon··on China is now the world's greatest oil power
Right, but oil transiting the strait is down below 25% of its normal amount.
edaemon··on Study links GLP-1 drugs to bigger jump in women's employment than a degree
I know of a guy who, before attending in-person meetings for the first time with new people, sends the message "FYI, I am 7 feet tall." He's gotten enough weird looks or outright stunned people that he takes precautionary measures.
edaemon··on China is now the world's greatest oil power
That doesn't fully explain it, the amount of oil making it through the strait is a small fraction (less than 25%) of the amount that normally flows through there.
edaemon··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
There is a game called Squad that has a lot of similarity to BF2 in terms of teamwork and coordination. It's a spiritual successor to the BF2 mod called Project Reality.
edaemon··on FCC moves to ban Lidar-equipped foreign drones from US
Palmer Luckey owns a drone company. He can't have an objective opinion on his competitors being banned.
edaemon··on Maryland Closes More of Cunningham Falls State Park After Second Beaver Attack
That sounds awful. Thankfully the regimen now is only one shot of HRIG and four doses of the vaccine over two weeks.
edaemon··on Atlassian Rovo Exfiltrates Data, Bypassing Controls
Don't worry, you can use Rovo to summarize the document! That way you can get the information your coworker wanted to share but filtered through a game of teLLMephone.
edaemon··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Neat! How does that work with the AI Gateway portion? I see some references in the code but at a quick glance I can't tell if you can configure it to skip AI Gateway.
edaemon··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Interesting, so how does this work with regards to purposeful but naive changes? If, for example, we have a Notion integration, and a non-technical user can add a feature to it via prompt, would it be possible for them to accidentally add something that sends a bunch of internal-only proprietary data to Notion? Would this system prevent or flag that in some way?
edaemon··on Karpathy’s Pelican
Yes, but I think the idea here is that most models produce very similar pelicans on bicycles, so a different test might be more useful in gauging the differences in models.
edaemon··on Cloudflare's new AI traffic options for customers
How would they cache and serve responses without decrypting the traffic?
edaemon··on Total Iran Economic Damage Estimate
It's kind of a nonsensical explanation. As you quoted, the source says it's "not a reconstruction or reparations program" but they go on to say it will be called the Reconstruction and Development Fund and that the program will "include securing loans, establishing credit lines or directly financing the reconstruction of sites damaged in the war ... and, more broadly, infrastructure affected by the conflict."
edaemon··on Amazon CEO's talks with U.S. officials triggered crackdown on Anthropic models
Wasn't that a UAW summit about EVs? Tesla does not work with UAW, so they wouldn't appear at a UAW event.
edaemon··on The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients
The author ran for city council where I live. From what I remember of him, it would be very out of character for him to use AI to write a health article.
edaemon··on Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars [video]
That's called a series hybrid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain#Seri...

"TIDE TURNS AGAINST HUMAN TERROR-BOTS"
edaemon··on Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off
Where did they say "stop driving the vehicle"? I don't think that happened. The instructions were to drive the vehicle to a service center for a drop-in check (or wait for mobile service) which obviously wouldn't be possible if you couldn't drive it.
edaemon··on Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off
I don't think that's true. I owned my Rivian at that time. There was a recall but I never received any instructions similar to that. They had everyone drive to the nearest service center to have the bolt torque checked, or you could book a mobile service appointment.

You can see the Oct 6 2022 recall information here, including what they instructed people to do: https://rivian.com/support/article/recall-information

edaemon··on Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off
I have a 2022 Rivian and I don't remember any recalls for brake rotors or wheels falling off. There was one about a year after they made the first R1T where they had forgotten to record the torque of a bolt for the upper control arm during assembly, but the recall just involved having the torque checked, they didn't have to replace anything. Is that the recall you're thinking of?
