trashcan2137··on GVisor is being donated to CNCF
They don't even sufficiently describe what it actually does and why it would be a better choice than a micro VM or whatever you call it these days
trashcan2137··on Show HN: Friday – Self-hosted persistent memory for AI coding agents (MCP)
Which part of this is self-hosted if you need DeepSeek subscription and Mem0 API key?

subscription camera app seems like peak comedy to me
trashcan2137··on The American Grilled Cheese Sandwich Essay (2024)
I never understood the appeal of grilled cheese and thought it's mostly because every time I see it it's made with toast bread (???) or brioche (hard to get a decent brioche here in Poland) but I can see a variation made with what I would call bread.

Will give it a go.

Come to Poland. You can get this done in less than a week
trashcan2137··on Foreign business owners are scrambling to raise capital to stay in Japan
The newspaper he apparently worked in stated that he was never part of the reporting teams for organized crime and had written only a very few articles about the yakuza during his time there.

He got called out several times about his stories so I wouldn't be surprised if he's making stuff up again.

My sides can't handle this much freedom. This can be hardly called an ad hominem.

Wait, weren't they making sneakers? I'm pretty much sure I have a pair
trashcan2137··on Sam Altman's Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Concepts
According to a Polish saying: unused organs fade away. Makes me really reconsider if it doesn't extend to morals and skills as well.

Nix, if not used incorrectly (and they really make it hard to use it, both correctly and incorrectly lol), gives you reproducible and verifiable builds.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the sibling comment that it suffers from poor naming and the docs are very hard to grok which makes it harder to get traction.

I really hate the idea of `it's all sales at the end of the day` but if Nix could figure how to "sell" itself to more people then we would probably have less of those problems.

Lengths people will go to rediscover Nix/Guix is beyond me
trashcan2137··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
The report itself is unreadable AI garbage. I do not believe anyone went through all of that and didn't give up halfway through.
trashcan2137··on Google releases Gemma 4 open models

  and the EOS is "<turn|>". "<|channel>thought\n" is also used for the thinking trace!
Can someone explain this to me? Why is this faux-XML important here?
trashcan2137··on EU startups fail because their press refuses to hype them up
> In US, you can start a LLC, get a bank account, a tax ID, all within a few days. The process is completely online. Taxes? A single form for the whole year when you’re starting out. Hiring and laying off employees is relatively easy. How many European countries can claim the same?

In Poland, for example it's remarkably similar. I had an LLC, bank account and EU VAT ID without leaving my home.

Hiring gets a little bit more tricky because we like having accessible health care and don't like throwing people under the bus so you have a notice time of anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months depending how long that particular person has been your employee.

Taxes? You pay once/month but even then you most likely have an accountant handling that for you.
