leoqa··on The Duty of a Scholar
He would’ve likely qualified for Medicaid in the US if he was living in any liberal state that expanded eligibility.
leoqa··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
Go watch the body cam footage of the peaceful protest. Looks a lot like people with guns hid in the woods and shot a cop who responded to what looked like a terrorist attack.
leoqa··on Tell HN: I unknowingly broke the PHP RCE embargo. I am sorry.
If I get randomly punched by someone who was in the fight club, with no knowledge of their participation, am I now a member of the fight club.
leoqa··on Tell HN: I unknowingly broke the PHP RCE embargo. I am sorry
So much pearl clutching from these security companies. An embargo isn’t an enforceable contract, expect it to leak and be ready to fast forward your plan. Don’t start pointing fingers because people protected themselves or their customers once the dam broke.
leoqa··on Today's PHP security release, and how we're strengthening security
All very well known security researchers with decades of experience. I agree the anime/song is unprofessional but somehow that stuff is normalized in security/hardware labs.
leoqa··on Most lookups are for things that don't exist
The is written in the most grating way possible.
leoqa··on How the Claude Code team does code review
Alas, I am the product of my environment
leoqa··on How the Claude Code team does code review
It’s only about 10 per engineer. I’m not at Anthropic and before 2026 I was regularly hitting 1400 commits / year on my GitHub. If agents made me 2x faster (they have, review is still slow; I currently have 40 PRs open) that’d be the same rate.
leoqa··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
They left him as an employee for the FBI to continue investigating; likely they setup cameras to get hard evidence he was tampering with them.
leoqa··on Terence Tao: Math 2.0 [pdf]
The above commenter has the same allegory- most “users” of math don’t care about the body of work behind it; only the consequence of it being proved is the fact that matters.
leoqa··on Dario, Please
I mean these machines take massive scale compute- they’d have to some how distill themselves, bootstrap a distributed inference runtime that can run across many lossy unreliable machines. The idea of the AI running away from us is probably unrealistic. I’m more interested in bad actors using unaligned AI for bad things.
leoqa··on New type of dice guarantees no tie when deciding who goes first
It didn’t mention the underlying theory? Is it just that these large dimensions reduce the collision probability?
leoqa··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2026)
> Not a role requiring Fourth Amendment dogmatism: We will teach you our regulatory agility as long as you can ship code faster than regulatory oversight.

Is this a troll post? I’m pro-LEO and generally pro-Flock as a heavily auditable investigatory tool but intentionally circumventing the 4th amendment is outright evil.

leoqa··on Creepy Crawlies
I literally work on this. The problem is that enforcing device attestation impacts DAU so platforms don’t want to do it but it’s effective. Once the internet is unusable, device attestation will be required to access services. Ad driven businesses will start to see demand from ad buyers for non-bot traffic etc.
leoqa··on Creepy Crawlies
.. and we ban those device ids and move on. Your capital is lost.
leoqa··on Creepy Crawlies
It seems clear to me we are moving towards a world where you will have to perform device attestation to access the internet. The spam/abuse is too great and accelerating.
leoqa··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
People don’t want their incompetence displayed. The session is probably a series of “continue” prompts with basic understanding demonstrated in the initial ask.
leoqa··on Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default
I’ll start working on the impl, you get the VC funding. I’m sure there is a Balmer peak joke in here.
leoqa··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
Don’t be hyperbolic. Enforcing immigration policy isn’t a crime against humanity.
leoqa··on Nvidia dramatically reduces amount of OpenAI infra financing it may guarantee
I went down a rabbit hole of refurbing burnt out crypto gpus. It’s really not too complicated but can be hit or miss. Need to get a box full.
leoqa··on Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking
I’m interested in forensics, is it worth getting a cert? I barely see jobs show up on USAJOBs in the Bay Area, do you have any recs on finding roles?
leoqa··on The Absurdity of Albert Camus
It is quite accessible and is read by teenagers during their angst. It appeals to people become it is a simple premise that gives simple choices to the reader.
leoqa··on A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months
It was a popular platform briefly for college students etc. I remember college kids posting drama on Kik etc
leoqa··on Why I Left Google DeepMind
I mean, does enabling ICE to be more effective actually represent a harm? ICE has authority to do the things it’s doing. The courts are the appropriate venue to check that authority. Two agents murdering citizens is a criminal matter completely unrelated to Google’s relationship with DHS.

It feels like AI empowering scams and facilitating post-truth is more harm.

leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
I do function health and have completely normal nutrient blood levels.
leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
Yes I’m fit, easily passed military and LEO fitness tests this year.
leoqa··on Does creatine make you smarter?
I get severe muscle cramping, even after pounding water and electrolytes. Like I can’t handle my kid something in the car without risking a spasm.
leoqa··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
This isn’t escaping in the same sense- the model was executing within the OpenAI infra. If it ported its entire architecture/weights into a public cloud to survive being turned off… that’d be pretty cool.
leoqa··on Show HN: Computable – Buy, sell, and redeem GPU for the exact weeks you want
I imagine they’re building the supply side as well, where you can bid your fixed GPU. My question with this stuff is how do I know my data is secure on these for-rent boxes? What steps are taken to sanitize the GPU between runs etc.
leoqa··on Agent swarms and the new model economics
I mean why even use VCS at that point?
