Presumably the key is stored in the TPM

My impression as a driver-in-training is that people are too complacent and forget they are handling a machine that could at any moment kill and maim you, your loved ones and random innocent bystanders. I wish we all were more responsible about it, and I hate the Tesla philosophy of going the opposite way (the touchscreen, the sorta there but not really autopilot, etc)

For those that prefer userstyles, I made a dark theme a while ago https://github.com/andrecarini/hn-dark-mode/blob/main/hn-dar...

Tom (the moderator) said he was looking into getting it appended to the HN's CSS. I haven't asked them about it since ages ago, wonder if they dropped the idea.

I wonder what the general opinion is nowadays even though this complaint has been common since years ago.

You have a Minecraft server. You generate money from it (selling VIP packages, et cetera). You could generate more money if you had more players. You can have more players if you consistently DDoS other more popular servers; the experience for these players will be horrible and they might give your server a chance.

> Bézier curves are great, but there are certain things they just can’t do. For example:

It would be nice if we had a better explanation of what is wrong with the Bézier curves in the example. I've put the spring Bézier example side by side with the javascript simulated one, had them both trigger at the same time on a keyboard press and I can barely notice a difference; one doesn't look better than the other to my eyes.

New comment by andrecarini in "End of Japanese community"

andrecarini — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 22:27:06 +0000

As an unpaid volunteer to a multimillion dollar corporation that has just erased a huge collective volunteer effort, listing in writing the reasons I'm unhappy is already way too much effort.

Asking that same volunteer to hop on a video call is just insensitive. They're the one providing free work; if you care about solving the problem and not losing the volunteer force, you should go where they are (the forums) instead of asking them to come to you (video call). They probably don't want to take time out of their schedule to waste their time talking with a community rep. And they probably don't even want to do a voice/video call.

New comment by andrecarini in "Poll: Opinion on AI Generated Music"

andrecarini — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 00:26:15 +0000

I've been playing with Suno lately (I'm an amateur/hobby musician, for context) and I've been making some tracks for my own enjoyment. I've shown it to friends and got mixed reactions.

Personally, I think it's still uncanny similar to these AI image gens with multiple hands and nonsense details in the background. You can one-shot a lot of passable stuff but the moment you want to put more effort into it (e.g. correct a word or two, slightly change the style of a section) the track gets really messy very fast.

Which software is that? I can only think about either the open source codec or the LLM from Anthropic.

Even if you could generate real-time 4K 120hz gameplay that reacts to a player's input and the hardware doesn't cost a fortune, you would still need to deal with all the shortcomings of LLMs: hallucinations, limited context/history, prompt injection, no real grasp of logic / space / whatever the game is about.

Maybe if there's a fundamental leap in AI. It's still undecided if larger datasets and larger models will make these problems go away.

Yes, VPNs add encryption only between you and the VPN servers.
