imcritic··on Show HN: Pollen – distributed WASM runtime, no control plane, single binary
Splitting a big task (like anything ML-related) into a set of smaller ones and distribute them across the "fleet" of workers. Then reap the results, stitching it back into a single artifact at the end. This could be commercially viable. This could even become a p2p platform/market where some people basically buy computation while the others offer their hardware for temporary rent to earn a few bucks. You become the coordinator that just connects the demand with the supply and become rich from just commissions alone.

That's an interesting project, don't give up!

P.s.: it's a shame that a rust lib for containers has a hardcoded path to sock file. That's weird.

No, it's a honeyhoneypot.

You mean you set your useragent to match the one of CloudFlare bot and that avoids captchas on sites?

imcritic··on Show HN: Shader Lab, like Photoshop but for shaders
Please, don't. I don't want the same starting to happen on different sites...
imcritic··on Backpacks got worse on purpose
Doesn't the problem of quality now being barely distinguishable mean that manufacturers would aim to fool consumers by setting high prices to low quality goods to mimic as high quality goods (which probably can't be cheap by definition)?

If that is so - the rest of your points become invalid.

imcritic··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
Isn't the ONLY one doing blocking.

I'm not from Spain and instead of Spanish ISP I get a block from CloudFlare.

Now take a wild guess: which one is bigger - some Spanish ISP or CF?

imcritic··on Quien – A better WHOIS lookup tool
That's a good advice in general to treat any software as untrusted black box as much as possible. But it raises (slightly, but still does) the cost/effort for the user: the user now has to make extra steps and take extra caution.

These concerns were great valid even before vibecoding becoming a thing, but now the estimated probabilities of malicious code's presence have changed, simply because nowadays the cost/effort of writing software plummeted.

imcritic··on Quien – A better WHOIS lookup tool
Such action has non-zero cost/effort. Do I really want to pay it? I am not sure.
imcritic··on Born Private: Reserve your child's first email address with Proton
Proton mail and privacy? Is this some joke?
imcritic··on Zml-smi: universal monitoring tool for GPUs, TPUs and NPUs
Is it capable of exposing metrics in Prometheus format?
imcritic··on The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
Does this mean I can now self host Claude?
imcritic··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
Because the input might be sensitive.

Because the input might be huge.

Because there is a risk of getting hallucinations in the output.

Isn't this obvious?

imcritic··on Apple Just Lost Me
We, the readers, are still free to shit on your writing. You may or may not cry about it.
imcritic··on Apple Just Lost Me
Haha, a fanboi got what he deserves. That's for feeding the evil with your money, for caving in to unfair demands. In your face!
imcritic··on Fyn: An uv fork with new features, bug fixes, stripped telemetry
How is pixi better than uv?

Is this score good or bad? What's the score for the same requests, but without compressor?

Same. First time hearing about scrot.
imcritic··on Personal Computer by Perplexity
It's not ZIRP, it's FLOMA.
imcritic··on Personal Computer by Perplexity
Does anyone else get a problem with perplexity where its pages get completely frozen/unresponsive until you close the tab and reopen it? And most of the time the issue comes back in just a few seconds. This seems to happen if one opens more than 1 tab with perplexity in parallel.
imcritic··on Noem Can't Explain Why She Hired 8-Day-Old Company for Ad Campaign
Oh, so you don't like corruption?

Too bad they didn't follow the legal way and instead lobby that decision. This way it would be so much different!

imcritic··on No right to relicense this project
Licenses are cancer and the enemy of opensource.
imcritic··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
The opportunity to be blown up by your phone upon a trigger pulled by mossad. Obviously.
imcritic··on Show HN: Elecxzy – A lightweight, Lisp-free Emacs-like editor in Electron
What answer to that question and in this situation would make any sense?
imcritic··on Show HN: Glitchy camera – a circuit-bent camera simulator in the browser
HCLK mode needs some knob to control intensity of the effect.

Is it working so slow (like 0.5-1 fps) only for me or is this intended?

Also, you mention video, how to switch to video from photo?

Other than that - that's pretty fun, just like others I love that everything is local on client.

imcritic··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
How about they start supporting more devices instead?
imcritic··on The Future for Tyr, a Rust GPU Driver for Arm Mali Hardware
Asahi project looks barely alive, almost abandoned. I know that their explanation of low activity is that they are being active elsewhere, supposedly pushing all their work upstream, but this has been happening for months and they don't give any reports about their progress, so I'm worried it will all die soon. And given that the project barely brought some Linux compatibility for m1 and m2 hardware and no prospects for bringing similar compatibility for newer generations - I fear it all will be kinda useless in the end.

Similarly, if you place enough cars near each other - you can start jumping over one and then just float around those cars indefinitely without ever touching ground and risking off getting arrested.

However, if cops or anyone else start shooting at cars - they will eventually explode and thus get you WASTED.

imcritic··on DoNotNotify is now Open Source
It's chinky and not opensource.
