seany··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
I mean, it's just anecdote vs anecdote. I'm a serial first eng -> VP/Dir for the last ... almost 30 years; I'm well aware of how creative projects work remote, and that retention and engagement are important. I've seen repeatedly over the last ten years especially C levels that want people in offices for "vibes" with _no_ data to back that up... In some cases opposite data. All of that gets mixed with data from teams that I support and/or lead being productive and never having a single person leave for reasons other than total corp restructuring; mean while everyone has a good mix of flexibility to have a family life.

Office first by default is a scourge on this industry.

Anyway, need to go empty my mouth after throwing up from reading your reply.

Sorry, meant zcash
seany··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
This is a bad take. There are plenty of orgs that were remote in some form or another way before covid. They're just organized and managed differently. It's 100% a management doesn't want to change issue.

This would be more interesting with other coins. Monero or cash come to mind
seany··on Mozilla: The state of open source AI
If your doing things the closed models won't let you do; its the whole ball game.

Staff Sgt. Sykes: [Sgt. Sykes is directing the recruits on how to judge distances] You take what you know, and then you multiply. Please don't use your dicks. They're too small, and I can't count that high. I don't wanna hear, "400,000 inches."

seany··on Monetization Gateway: Charge for any resource behind Cloudflare via x402
IMHO this is only interesting if it _truely_ breaks a KYC path. Otherwise; who cares?
seany··on I built a 10 inch mini rack from aluminium extrusions
It's often called 8020 aluminium if people are looking for alternative vendors.
seany··on Rocketlab acquires Iridium
Mostly the crazy financing and capital needed to pull it off well.

Did they forget to read ecentric orbits first?

Just return the taxes instead
seany··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
I can't even come up with a reason to find it wrong.
seany··on GLM-5.2 is a step change for open agents
What's the current best for ablation? Specifically chemistry and red-team/netsec?
seany··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
GrapheneOS would be so much more interesting if there was an official supported way for rooting it. That's the only reason I haven't switched to it on my several devices (all rooted)
seany··on United Airlines 767 returns to Newark after Bluetooth name sparks alert
Well. I just changed my bl labels on 3 phones and wifi ap settings to variations of this. Done a million miles on aa in 1.5 years before.
seany··on Shipping a laptop to a refugee camp in Uganda
On the plus side that kind of thing is getting more and more "printable"
seany··on Show HN: Freenet, a peer-to-peer platform for decentralized apps
anonymity was the main point of freenet... So weird
seany··on Two computers, one monitor, zero fiddling (2025)
I don't think they exist at all. Even in 4x4 config. Keep in mind I want only dp 1.4 in out +serial control
seany··on Two computers, one monitor, zero fiddling (2025)
I really wish some one made one of these as a DP 1.4 _matrix_ instead of a true KVM. 8in 8 out would be amazing
seany··on Crypto industry lobbies to evade AML/CTF rules
Does there need to be one? It's not clear to me where the moral good comes from AML in the first place. That's why things like Monero are so exciting.
seany··on Crypto industry lobbies to evade AML/CTF rules
To be fair ditching AML/CTF would be _good_, but that isn't what is going on in this article.
seany··on Mercurial, 20 years and counting: how are we still alive and kicking? [video]
It make a lot of sense if you think of repo history as properly immutable, and dispose of the notion that brach is a first class object in the git sense. Bookmakers just pin a checkin hash to a name, and you can have many heads in an hg branch.
seany··on U.S. DOJ demands Apple and Google unmask over 100k users of car-tinkering app
Are there any good open source implementations of these kinds of tools? They really are useful for things other than def deletes (though I support that too)

Someone else could have answered. I found it eventually. https://x.com/dmitrygr
seany··on Nailing jelly to a wall: is it possible? (2005)
There's also the pectin vs gelatin, and temperature of the test. Some of the precursors of things like Tonkotsu broth (lots of chicken/pig feet) can be fairly firm at 20°c, and nearly solid at 10°.
seany··on Kickstarter is forced to ban adult content by payment processors
Seems like there has to be a tipping point coming soon where stuff like monero will start to make sense for "normal" people.

What's his x handle? It doesn't seem linked from his blog

One more reason to go off grid
seany··on Grand Theft Oil Futures: Insider traders keep making a killing at our expense
Honestly, insider trading laws should be removed since they manipulate markets. If you know things, make moves that are public, that would price things _more_ accurately.
seany··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
Seems like he needed more Op/InfoSec training...
