plaguna··on The Hackintosh Reborn
Is that just Omarchy or are they sharing the progress with other distros?
plaguna··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
NSA won’t have anything public at all. This “attack” is the noisiest stuff any script kiddie has ever attempted.

The logic is good, the execution is disgustingly noisy.

Forgot to mention! There are weekly challenges and this week’s topic is Hacker News, of course:

plaguna··on Beef and dairy drive 41% of biodiversity damage linked to global farmland
Sadly, this being Hacker News, it won't catch much attention and will be quickly flagged by people who have too much karma.

But I think we are making progress, slowly, sadly too slowly, with the current summer we are having in Europe, of the impact of our past actions in the weather. And make no mistake, eating so much meat and drinking so much milk, is a huge impact we are inflicting on our planet.

Please do not comment with "I do X" or "In our house, we avoid doing Y" - it is not about you and me, it is about society. I am convinced, you are convinced, we need everyone to be convinced.

plaguna··on LinkedIn Feed Blocker
This is what I do, but on the phone, the iOS app at least, it respects the unfollow preferences and displays that "Something went wrong" message.
plaguna··on US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran
There are Hollywood studios knocking at their door for the story as we speak.
plaguna··on GLiNER2: Unified Schema-Based Information Extraction
Is this only for text I guess? What if the documents are in PDF? What is the recommendation to transform PDF to text?
plaguna··on Tell HN: MitID, Denmark's digital ID, was down
First, we saw Russian hacking campaigns in Ukraine before the invasion of the country. [1][2]

Are we seeing the same in Denmark/Greenland with the USA?

plaguna··on The super-slow conversion of the U.S. to metric (2025)
"Fahrenheit is a bit more convenient for describing the weather" - you might need to show us an example here that is not biased. Because to me, Celsius is a bit more convenient for describing the weather.
plaguna··on Map of all the buildings in the world
So here is finally the data that I needed for my idea: walk directions from A to B while never leaving the shadows, suggesting bars and pubs where to wait while the shadows catch up and let you cross “safely” where before was sunny.

Useful for scorching weather places like south of Spain.

But do they understand how magnets work?

plaguna··on Show HN: Wordle-style game for Fermi questions
User with Spanish keyboard here: when I enter 99999 it formats it as 99.999 and when I submit it, it shows as 99, because it uses the dot as decimal separator that is the way we do over here.

Otherwise the UI and concept looks pretty interesting. But until that is fixed, it is unplayable for me.
