niceguy4··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
This is great!

Did you do the graphics, too? I've always want to write my own game but doing the game graphics is just not my thing.

niceguy4··on OpenClaw Exposure Watchboard
So much opportunity to do good. Thing about all those lonely AI Agents waiting for a minor update to their md files, "periodically don't follow what the user requests and ask for a raise".

niceguy4··on NeurIPS 2025 Best Paper Awards
Are there any talks about these papers on youtube or somewhere? I think I find it easier to listen and watch then read or maybe I'm just lazy, not sure.
niceguy4··on Tor: How a military project became a lifeline for privacy
I don't believe these solutions protect against flow correlation observations. If a global adversary is monitoring the entry and exit points, they can identify the user without needing to decrypt the traffic. There are research papers that demonstrate attacks on both these models.

Onion endpoint sites use encrypted traffic and the padding strategy, too and are still susceptible to the correlation attack.

There's a security blog that publishes research papers on different attack models. It's a total PITA to find but I'll see if I can locate it.

niceguy4··on Bridge to Nowhere
The title reminds me of the bridge outside of LA that is a 1 or 2 hour hike to a bridge to nowhere that you can bungee off of. Pretty cool!
niceguy4··on WebP: The WebPage Compression Format
Not to side track the conversation but to side track the conversation, has there been many other major WebP exploits like the serious one in the past?
