Impressive, but it will take away so much sense of accomplishment from so many people. I find that really sad.

New comment by letmetweakit in "Wired headphone sales are exploding"

"Bluetooth does not work," Kravitz said in a recent interview, and it's not just headphones, but Bluetooth connections in general. "It's ruining important moments. Imagine the amount of times that you're with someone on a date, you're trying to set a vibe, and then you have to forget the network. On a date!"

The quote above makes absolutely zero sense to me, it's like ChatGPT 0.3a decided to write something about Bluetooth.

New comment by letmetweakit in "Running Claude Code dangerously (safely)"

I use Proxmox snapshots to get back to a clean state. I’ll take a look at Vagrant too though.

I run Claude in a Proxmox VM, generally the experience has been great. In my experience it also behaves better than gemini cli, that likes to create files all over the place if set loose (lesson learned to add that requirement to the relevant .md files)

For whom are they writing this? For the sane people it's not needed and for the not-so-sane it doesn't really matter ...

Exactly.

I’m far from being an expert but geoengineering gives me the shivers. Dumping boatloads of chemicals into the atmosphere, a lot can go wrong.

How does inference work with a TEE, isn’t performance a lot more restricted?

Imo, the experiment was worthwhile, it exposed a risk, hopefully the kernel is better armed against similar attacks now.

Hehe, I've also read the whole Foundation series, and also feel like the empire's collapse is unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Yes, I think anyone with common sense is thinking that way these days. He's going to inflict huge damage on the US economy.

Do you understand which players want to take away power from the EU and “decentralize” power or better, create division?

It’s tragic that a good product, with a lot of users is not able to generate decent revenue.

New comment by letmetweakit in "Ask HN: Should HN be tech news and discussions only?"

letmetweakit — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 14:01:17 +0000

They are intertwined these days, true, but maybe there should at least be a direct link between the tech and the political discussion around it.

Ask HN: Should HN be tech news and discussions only?

letmetweakit — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 13:53:29 +0000

I always get caught in these political discussions and news, like just recently as a result of the US military actions in Venezuela. To be honest, it's the kind of news I try to stay away from. It would be nice (for me) if Hacker News was strictly tech only, no politics.

The more credible narrative is Trump and co trying to do good for the Venezuelans and for the regular US folks! /s
