I totally buy this as someone located in the US, but what is everybody else using? It can’t be WhatsApp? Is everyone sending all their connection graphdata to Meta?

This looks useful. But, it's interesting how the backend-world and front-end world keep diverging. I must admit, I had no idea what this was from the title. "CLI framework"? But in backend-land, these would typically be called "argument parsers" or "command line argument parsers". But maybe I am missing some of the functionality.

I found this website frustrating, it asks you a bunch of questions, then ask you to sign up with nothing in return for the upfront investment

I think if the online builder could have been the whole project, that would be neat! Truly "zero-trust", what I think many HN readers want.

Anyway, thanks for building Agent Safehouse.

If you look at the first image in the article, the one with a floppy on a serving tray, it looks like an 8 inch floppy to me. I think the floppy disks in the board room might also be 8 inch floppy disks

It is rumored heavily on HN that when the first employee of Google, Craig Silverstein was asked about his biggest regret, he said: "Not pushing for ECC memory."

When an article states “ OS vendors use everything in their power to make you not want to develop native apps for their platform “, it’s really hard to take the rest seriously.

Sure, native applications can be hard and slow to develop for a number of reasons, but OS vendors are seriously incentivized to have developers build on their platform.

Yeah, it kind of sounds like it to me also, but the idea “did you make the system easier to change next quarter” is a great way to measure progress.

I have no affiliation with the website, but the website is pretty neat if you are learning LLM internals. It explains: Tokenization, Embedding, Attention, Loss & Gradient, Training, Inference and comparison to "Real GPT"

Pretty nifty. Even if you are not interested in the Korean language

New comment by camkego in "Show HN: Local-First Linux MicroVMs for macOS"

camkego — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 03:16:04 +0000

It's a good article and seems to mirror my experience doing partial-AI software development. If you are not saving your context for decision making and your conclusions in software architecture (as made between developers and AI) you are losing very valuable context information on software design. Although I'm not sure the article ties closely to the topic of micro VMs.

The real cherry on top, is that the Microsoft link from the blog post by the Microsoft senior product manager goes to a Kaggle dataset page claiming the dataset is CC0: Public Domain.

https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/shubhammaindola/harry-potter...

More than just using the data, it seems linking to a copy that claims the dataset is public domain, would be problematic copyright-wise.

Also interesting, this blog post has been up since November of 2024, very surprising to me that Microsoft hasn't taken it down yet.

It’s been a while since I’ve done my Applied Computational Math Sciences degree, but I still appreciate seeing mathematically oriented posts like this on HN!

New comment by camkego in "Chase to become new issuer of Apple Card"

camkego — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 06:51:50 +0000

Didn't a HN reader/poster get locked out of his Apple accounts because of late payments or some other type of issue with an Apple Card credit card?

If this can happen, I don't plan on ever getting one.

If you walk into the head office of Qualcomm (in Sorrento Vally, San Diego, CA) and you see the the "Patent Wall" in the entrance covered with almost 1400 patents, it's kind of hard to wonder just how open Arduino will be.

Maybe if the sign up process encouraged people to send videos (screen-side and user-side could be useful also), of their sign-up and usage experience, the teams responsible for user experience could make some real progress. I guess the question is, who cares, or who is responsible in the organization?

New comment by camkego in "Static Web Hosting on the Intel N150"

camkego — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:01:28 +0000

Just my two cents, as an end-user choosing a OS to use on an N150 to do static web hosting, I would sure like to know if those features make a meaningful difference.

But I also understand, that looking at that might have beyond the scope of the article.

The article says "I think the biggest factor is that any rewrite of an existing codebase is going to yield better results than the original codebase.".

Yeah, sorry, but no, ask some long-term developers about how this often goes.
