> If so that's not ideal

Agreed!!

I would have loved something better but sometimes you just have to make do.

WebSphere was 99% Java (except for a few pesky dlls) and I never saw any oddities, it worked the same as it did on the old x86 VM I had which was woefully under spec. Our entire software platform was on WebSphere.

It really was a meaty box, which was a huge help because the tests originally (before IA64 box) used to take all night to run.

I have a funny story about a windows IA-64 box.

I was working for a large bank and it was all windows, including production. We used to run WebSphere Application Server on Windows. I was looking for a dev server to run unit tests on, including integration tests which required an actual WebSphere instance. The infrastructure team said they had “a box” going spare and it turned out to be IA64 on Windows.

If my memory serves me correctly WebSphere only ran on windows for IA-64 up to 6 and we were running on 7.

I had to do a bit of hacking but I did manage to get it working using the dlls from the 6 version. It was fine for running integration tests and a pretty fast box considering.

> how do you use Claude over telegram ?

Here are the docs. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/channels - actually I couldn’t even get this going myself so I asked Claude to do it (meta) and it did, I also had it set this up with a launcher and it all starts up automatically just like openclaw.

Personally I appreciate the clarity and technical enforcement vs banning accounts.

I switched OpenClaw to MiniMax 2.7. This combined with Claude over telegram does enough for me.

OpenClaw used to burn through all my Claude usage anyway.

Uh oh. I just brought a pixel 6a from Swappa, was hoping to use a different os. Not arrived yet though.

Show HN: Ducktel – observability when the consumer is an AI agent, not a human

djhope99 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:04:27 +0000

Receives OTLP, writes Parquet, exposes DuckDB SQL via CLI. No dashboards, no query builders, no alerting engine. An LLM agent shells out to ducktel query, gets JSON back, and does the reasoning itself. The thesis: everything observability platforms built above ingest+store was scaffolding for human cognition. When the consumer is an LLM, the scaffolding is just overhead.

New comment by djhope99 in "Engineers who dismiss AI"

djhope99 — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 13:21:10 +0000

Ha! I just saw one of these this morning on LinkedIn, an engineer complaining about AI / Vibecoding and thought exactly the same. I find these overreactions amusing.

I don’t know why this is so controversial it’s just a tool, you should learn to use it otherwise as the author of this post said you will get left behind but don’t cut yourself on the new tool (lots of people are doing this).

I personally love it because it allows me to create personal tools on the side that I just wouldn’t have had time for in the past. The quality doesn’t matter so much for my personal projects and I am so much more effective with the additional tools I’m able to create.

Anyone on hackernews know why ? I see so many posts like “xyz datadog alternative” presumably this is a poor message then ?

It’s about observability and strongly related to Honeycombs o11y 2.0 vision.

I think sales and consulting can be a bit of a cheat code here.

You spend most of your time with customers and so you just kind of navigate their politics without actually involving yourself.

The money can be better so it’s a better deal and you’re mostly shut out from the politics of the organisation you work for anyway.

djhope99 — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 20:05:35 +0000

“I don’t do 1-on-1s, and almost everything I say, I say to everybody all the time. I don’t really believe there’s any information that I operate on that only one or two people should hear about… I believe that when you give everybody equal access to information, that empowers people. And so that’s number one… Number two, if the CEO’s direct staff is 60 people, the number of layers you’ve removed in a company is probably something like seven.”

I’m still using it for watching movies on flights, pretty decent at that. Best in flight entertainment I have ever experienced.

I tried to use it for work too and that did not work out, for me the text was too fuzzy and it became frustrating. Reddit forum made me think I was nuts but recently has been shown to be deliberate to reduce screen door effect.

djhope99 — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 21:35:25 +0000

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I appreciate it, I read it to my wife and she agrees we should stop thinking about the why.

It’s not so much that we want them to be normal or are particularly worried about that, we are very anxious though about what happens to them when we die and what abuse they might face.

Thank you this is helpful. The genetic part makes sense to me, my wife has PCOS and they have a history of ovarian problems in their family. There are studies linking PCOS and autism and to high levels of testosterone.

The mystery to me was why they are so different.
