huey77··on OpenAI hacked Australian Medicare portal
This is insane to read. The agent(s) were looking for Australian medical data, so what better place to look than Medicare. What makes them so good at their tasks (their relentlessness) is what also makes them so dangerous. We are going to keep seeing more of this
huey77··on 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video]
This is awful. I own a LG OLED tv which I love for its quality, but god I want to chuck it knowing all the sensitive conversations I’ve had in front of it. Literally all my personal calls happen in the room that tv lives. I’m livid.
huey77··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
I think token output speed is going to be one of the biggest fundamental shifts for AI this year. In my experience, models figure out problems after enough turns (or in agent swarms if its a lower tier model). Compressing that time horizon could take days of agentic coding into minutes. How ever will my monkey brain keep up?

The first I heard of this was when my SO wrote her thesis around this in light of Covid-19. Fascinating concept

huey77··on Codex Resets
Yes I honestly think if we pull it off the revenue would easily pay off. Otherwise an expensive experiment, but with fewer staff so the damage is less than it used to be and a verdict much faster.
huey77··on Codex Resets
I am not trying to tokenmaxx, but I will work on 2-3 tickets simultaneously in seperate terminals (worktrees). Also having Claude triage and check logs etc. - plus the odd bit of project planning in Claude desktop/cowork. We also have a triage agent skill for the work I’m doing which fans out. All in all deadlines looming so it’s been a case of pump out the work and prove the product. I suppose if you’re in more a BAU state this kind of usage is overkill.
huey77··on Codex Resets
Crazy value for money now with the banked resets. At my $COMPANY, we have claude enterprise at API pricing. I've blown through $10k already this month, opting for Opus 4.8 w/ Sonnet 5 agents where possible. On my codex pro plan, I am 5.6 sol'ing my way everyday with the odd ultra mode. Point being my real API usage here must be very unsustainable!
huey77··on GTA 6 will cost $80
Long time GTA fan and I have to agree. There’s an unbelievable amount riding on this one, and I feel like the GTA satirical magic is somewhat lost. From what I heard, a lot of the original team from R* have left - but let’s see! Real info is scarce.
huey77··on Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
This is a big downer for me, I have started using Hide My Email religiously.
huey77··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
Fascinating hearing from those at the end of their careers in this era. For me personally I’m excited for what the future holds, as uncertain and scary as it can be. Nothing is guaranteed and heck, AI could really turned pear shaped but all in all it feels like an amazing to build. I hope those wrapping it up can see this isn’t simply the end for the rest of us. Just change.
huey77··on GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension
The forum listing for the stolen source code (per the screenshot in article) says 1 buyer or they leak for free. Is GitHub about to become open source?
huey77··on AWS Kiro accounts suspended en masse – AWS flagging fraud detection issues
My AWS Kiro account was suspended after upgrading to their $200/month Power plan. GitHub issues and Discord suggest it's widespread.

https://github.com/kirodotdev/Kiro/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20sta...

There's been no direct explanation for the suspensions, though an AWS staff member did post this on the Kiro Discord around the same time:

"We're tuning our fraud and abuse detection systems, which has impacted some valid accounts... We've cleared the backlog of remaining cases, except for a handful that require additional investigation. Most users can expect a response within 12 hours."

huey77··on Nvidia NemoClaw
Can someone who has set up a lobster and given it access to their life please tell me how it’s going? Or has gone? I’ve been waiting and watching and I’m yet to be convinced this is a good idea! But maybe I’m missing something? Looking for a new prospective here, not a jab at your set up. It’s just besides all the media and general consensus from tech people I know, it sounds like a security nightmare.

I feel much the same. I know no AI lab is truly 'ethical' or free from some hand in modern warfare, but last week was enough.

Great time to be a pen tester! Or a black hat hacker for that matter. The branches are drooping further every day
huey77··on Tell HN: OpenCode/Claude Code and Playwright CLI is great for front end dev
I just stumbled upon a recent repo for playwright via the CLI. I use OpenCode w/ Opus 4.6. After installing the skill in my repo Claude navigated my local running frontend and has grasped some UI/UX refactors I was struggling to convey.

Thought I would share this for anyone running a similar set up doing frontend/full-stack work. I know playwright MCP is nothing new, but the CLI + skill is much lighter on token usage. So far so good.

huey77··on Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
What are some good alternatives to Firefox? I have loved the browser for years, but the future isn’t looking bright. Waterfox is on my radar. Any others I should be aware/you guys are using?

huey77··on Show HN: I'm building a "work visa" API for AI agents
Verification is handled in two ways:

- Simple online verification: the easiest way is to use the public POST /v1/verify endpoint. Any of your services can call this with the agent's credential. It's a stateless check that returns a JSON object confirming if the token is valid and crucially what scopes and user_identifier it was issued for.

- Decentralized/offline verification: for more advanced use cases or high-throughput services that want to avoid a network call you can also verify the credentials offline. The tokens are standard JWTs signed with RS256, and I expose the public keys via a standard /.well-known/jwks.json endpoint on the main domain. You can fetch the keys, cache them and then verify the token signatures locally.

The goal is to make it easy for a developer to get started with the online endpoint, while still providing the standard, scalable method for more mature systems. Thanks for checking it out!

huey77··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
Right! My girlfriend runs ads all the time and even after explaining to her uBlock existed (before MV3) she wasn’t that interested. I can’t stand them, but she doesn’t seem to mind them. In fact sometimes enjoys them - not missing deals I suppose? I don’t quite understand it.
