llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Preferred SMS API Provider?
I'll give it a try today-- some quick feedback, it worries me loading your landing page causes my CPU fan to kick up and CPU usage ramps up to 5%. I have no idea what you're doing on there but it worries me.
llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Preferred SMS API Provider?
Thanks-- the main use case is sending account specific notifications to a user (if they prefer sms notifications). For example, an sms notification if an account balance is running low.
llmblockchain··on Web Crap Has Taken Control
Nowadays it's common for developers to learn React before they even learn JavaScript, and that's not great but it's not the cause of the problem.

It's the companies that pile on to a stack because it's "easy to hire for". If everyone optimizes for hiring we end up with a local maximum, React. We can't do better because no one else is doing better.

llmblockchain··on Researcher finds flaw in a16z website that exposed some company data
Yes... In my mind, there are three kinds of security bugs.

1. Caused by pure ignorance and completely avoidable (this bug).

2. Caused by subtle configurations, workflows, programming (mostly avoidable, secret scanning, security linters, code reviews, general intelligence, etc). This is where 99% of security bugs are.

3. Caused by a malicious actor aligning planets with a single intent to maximize their cause. You'll never stop these people (three letter agencies, state actors).

llmblockchain··on Researcher finds flaw in a16z website that exposed some company data
It's pretty shocking how many commenters are blaming the individual for not "trying harder" to find contact information. It's pretty clear a16z didn't want to pay anything or appreciate the disclosure at all.

Finding random email addresses and sending them a notice would have gone no where other than spam folders. I get dozens of "disclosures" every week from mostly script kiddies that think my DKIM setting is somehow going to be the end of my business. My brain automatically ignores emails like it.

llmblockchain··on NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Modules
I have two monitors connected to the 3070 and it works well. The only issue I had was suspending, the GPU would "fall of the bus" and not get its power back when the PC woke up. I had to add the kernel line "pcie_aspm=off" to prevent the GPU from falling asleep.

So... not perfect, but it works.

llmblockchain··on NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Modules
I have a 3070 on X and it has been great.
llmblockchain··on Libera IRC Channels Sorted by Number of Users
The channel I frequent the most has 6 users in it. It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality.

;)

llmblockchain··on I lost my love for the web (2022)
I've been dipping back into native/systems programming lately and it's honestly no better over there.

I starting writing code in C again, because I really enjoy the simplicity. I wanted to use some nice-isms in C++ (function overloading, some encapsulation with struct) so I wrote C code, but leveraged the C++ compiler with a few features enabled by C++.

1) C++ programmers hate my code because I don't use the stl, containers, etc.

2) C++ programmers hate my code because I don't use referencing counting, "safe" pointers. Instead I raw dog it and wrote my own memory arenas (I alloc memory once at program start and free at the end).

3) C programmers hate my code because it leverages some C++-isms when it's convenient.

4) Rust programmers hide in fear and regard everything I do as unsafe, dangerous and borders on undefined behavior (they are like helicopter moms).

llmblockchain··on Disney Hackers dox their inside man
These "hackers" are usually teens that figured out how to sim swap and/or bribed an employee. There's usually very little hacking involved. It's the ego driven nature of them that always brings them down.
llmblockchain··on Introducing PCSX2 2.0!
Skills are the easy part. The hard part is having the time :)
llmblockchain··on Show HN: Simulating 20M Particles in JavaScript
Is the code available somewhere? I'd like to see the full code and run locally. It looks like the code sandbox isn't working anymore.
llmblockchain··on Zed on Linux Is Here
I only use editors written in C, as God intended.
llmblockchain··on Multi-agent chatbot murder mystery
Plot twist. The LLM was trained on a real life crime database and you're solving a real murder.
llmblockchain··on Zed on Linux Is Here
Seems like a good VSCode alternative, but I'll stick with my editor of choice. I imagine it will be 1~2 years before Zed is bought by Microsoft and either squashed like Atom or replaces VSCode.
llmblockchain··on Xpra: Persistent Remote Applications for X11
I am running linux machines and I have one headless machine. I need to keep a browser running in that machine and occasionally check on it (see what it's doing, and possibly fix things in the browser). Would Xpra let me do that from a remote machine?
llmblockchain··on Code a DOOM-like game engine from scratch in C [PART I]
Messy code that is specific to windows+macos, but with some tweaks it builds/runs on Linux. You need to add SDL2 includes in a few files.
llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Which folder/directory do you store code in?
Aesthetic.

When you `ls` $HOME or open a Finder it's a lot nicer when things match (Documents, Videos, etc). It's weird to see that one random folder (src).

I know typing a dot is annoying, hence the Bash alias.

llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Which folder/directory do you store code in?
Interesting, I came to a similar structure.

~/.src/my # my stuff

~/.src/oss # things I've downloaded, built from source, etc.

I have a bash alias 'ws' that 'cd ~/.src' so most of my movement is like: 'cd my/gamedev/pong' or 'cd oss/helix', etc.

llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Software/methods to structure time for side projects
I have two files I use.

1. todo.md

2. scratchpad.md

I put my tasks for each project in the todo file separated by headings. I put random notes in the scratchpad file as they pop (ex, need to update x dependency in project y, etc). I then organize my scratchpad and create new todo items if needed at the end of the day.

llmblockchain··on My (Neo)Vim workflow
I agree-- though I've been downvoted for the comment. I guess Jia Tan is a user here ;p
llmblockchain··on An Htmx Success Story
Simplicity? No need for build tools. Work entirely in the HTML or server side code.
llmblockchain··on My (Neo)Vim workflow
Am I the only one that sees so many third party dependencies and gets nervous? All it takes is one bad plugin or maintainer change for your entire system to be owned.
llmblockchain··on A Eulogy for DevOps
DevOps was kept afloat by the SPA+microservice trend.
llmblockchain··on Ask HN: What is the best code base you ever worked on?
Any code I have ever touched.
llmblockchain··on Show HN: I built an indie, browser-based MMORPG
It was pretty fun, though not much to do?

I ran around smacking cows and chickens and PK-ing some people.

llmblockchain··on The 10x developer makes their whole team better
A 10x developer _is_ the team. Everyone else is collateral.
llmblockchain··on Ask HN: What happens when I click "request for quote" on your SaaS?
I can tell you what happens in my service.

When you submit the contact us form I receive a message via Matrix on Element. I also receive an email and the submission is recorded in postgres.

Depending on the request details, I may reach out to you immediately or put you on my task list for 24-48 hours to handle.

I don't sell or do anything with the data. I'm the only person that sees it.

llmblockchain··on Ask HN: Is Firefox better than Chrome when it comes to user security?
I think it comes down to your threat model.

For the vast majority of people (ie, 99%) there's no difference between the major browsers and the overall security they provide.

For that 1% the difference may be noticeable but pale in comparison to other things like solid opsec, etc. For instance, it doesn't matter what browser you use if you are using SMS 2FA and get hit with a sim-swap because you're bragging on Twitter about how your Coinbase account is sitting at $2MM.

On the other hand, if you're international arms dealer your browser choice probably matters a lot more. Though, the three letter agencies already have your poster on their wall and you were pwned a year prior anyway. Even worse, if you're outside the US the drones have already been deployed.

The US isn't beyond blowing up hackers, look at Junaid Hussain[1].

llmblockchain··on Htmx 2.0.0 has been released
As long as hx-boost is in core, it would make more sense to have head support in core? It's difficult to really leverage hx-boost without being able to manage the head in responses.
