elAhmo··on Milkman – The Better Alternative to Postman
Yet another Postman alternative...
elAhmo··on Preparing for the Flipper One Kickstarter and opening pre-orders
$379 + $20 for the preorder coupon
elAhmo··on Landline phones will switch off across Britland in 100 days, no extensions
I had to google what is Britland. First time in my life seeing this term used.
elAhmo··on Bunny CDN Security Incident
It is not just you. I wasn't actively reading for a few days, came back from a short trip and there is like 5 open security breaches on the top page right now.
elAhmo··on Tesla Roadster
Amazing demo.

Also amazing stupidity of people believing anything close to this will hit the streets. Lies and lies for a decade, and now after a flashy demo it is again "2028".

elAhmo··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
If that’s how you enjoy spending time outside of day-to-day work, then great.

My comment was more in a sense that people are effectively forced to be online all the time, even when taking a beautiful hike in the nature. And AI gonna make it even worse as people start to “normalise” this behaviour.

elAhmo··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
Would you prefer if he didn't climb the van to answer a client email and have less (or no) interruptions during family time?
elAhmo··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
I don't think you have understood what I was trying to say. Amazing here is more like surprised, don't wanna say negatively, but definitely not in a positive sense :)
elAhmo··on I let an AI run my startup for a week
Amazing to see people going on a beautiful hike, while chatting with agents all the time to "do some work".

Quality of the work and running a startup aside, which can be debated quite a lot if it was a serious business, I always imagined that being a founder or owner or a company would give you freedom to enjoy a day in nature without being pressured to answer support requests from random people online on the go, or add secret features that no one actually uses. I guess not everyone sees it that way.

elAhmo··on Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default
So, similar as Google and Microsoft have been doing with all their tools?
elAhmo··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
I have a few statically hosted websites, but primarily I use it to host my self-hosted instance of plausible.io
elAhmo··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
I don't think they prefer it, but the price is a deciding factor.

Most people would be happier with La Marzocco coffe machines which costs thousands of dollars, but if you get an OK shot with a 100 USD DeLongi, then the choice is clear for majority of the population.

elAhmo··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
It is interesting to see that we are using this term Math 2.0 so quickly, after just a few months/year of seeming progress on previously hard problems, for something that has been around for thousands of years.
elAhmo··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
History will remember your actions, being against an international court is a sign you are the bad guy. Not even mentioning anything else that is magnitudes worse.

Funding of nearly every major USA political can only get you so far.

elAhmo··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
These sanctions are a prime example of influence of a foreign nation on the USA policies.
elAhmo··on FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies over product risks
Do we really think that FTC under this administration, which is in bed with top tech billionaires giving gifts for inauguration will do anything against them?

Let's not kid ourselves.

elAhmo··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
Good riddance, if you are such a high profile person and spread misinformation causing deaths of children and elderly, then you deserve no voice online.

I assume you think that yelling fire in a theater is also a heterodoxy?

elAhmo··on Gemini 4 Argon
> Quantum algorithmic optimization: Argon is helping our quantum computing researchers optimize the spacetime resources (qubits × gates) of subroutines that bottleneck important applications. In one example, it beat the published baseline by 40% in a matter of minutes.

Amazing breakthrough! So useful in day to day life, glad they put this as the first bullet of how it is making changes at Google.

elAhmo··on GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
It is a problem they could solve if they want to. They have billions of profits per quarter.

They just don't want to. Not malicious, just ignorant and disrespectful of their users.

elAhmo··on GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
Describes pretty much any of the big companies. For example, I have seen numerous times people got their account locked on Google, or their app stuck in limbo at Apple, and then after post becomes viral all problems get solved.
elAhmo··on OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says
It is ridiculous to say it is agent from a company, like it is a legal entity on its own doing something.

Imagine if I committed a murder, and then say it was my guy who did it acting rogue.

It is time for these companies to start being responsible for all the shit they are doing.

elAhmo··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
This is not AI killing poeole, this is US government killing poeole.
elAhmo··on I don't like passkeys
Ecosystem is not mature yet for individuals?

Probably hundreds of millions or even billion people have devices that support biometric auth. How is that not mature?

elAhmo··on macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review
Interesting list. I think you are very detached from what a normal user of computers/laptops today need. If you think features such as AudioCD ripping are in the top 100 features someone might ask from an OS today. Last time I saw someone using a CD was probably more than 10 years ago.
elAhmo··on macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review
Someone who does need a window system can use many of the hundreds of tools available, or use something custom. Regular uses don't really care about window management systems.
elAhmo··on macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review
Well, it is easy to be excited on a system that is lagging on features.
elAhmo··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
This is Mr. comedy is legal and free speech, and public town square, right?

I understand that he is a vile POS, but I don't understand people supporting him and using his products.

elAhmo··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
Because they make money of them.
elAhmo··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
There is nothing to disprove as you don't understand what does a word mean. Deterministic is not a spectrum, they can either be deterministic or not. In both cases, they are not.
elAhmo··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Are you saying scripts from agents are deterministic? :)
