The US will likely put sanctions back on Syria if they do this.

This is a great article and this woman is an inspiration to many.

Likely one of my favourite reads here.

New comment by pelcg in "Open-weights AI models have become good enough"

Completely agree with this. Open weight models are getting close to matching the best closed models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

New comment by pelcg in "Do you hate XML? (2010)"

XML is just so much hassle to parse securely, and it is extremely difficult to get right.

This makes me sad to see this. The economic implications of this is catastrophic and unfortunately people who are in the middle of warzones get squeezed and suffer from famines.

There are a lot of TUIs in existence worth looking at if one is interested or curious about them [0], [1], [2]

Even before Claude Code, I always see htop as the prime example of a good TUI.

New comment by pelcg in "Gvisor on Raspbian"

pelcg — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:15:44 +0000

That is kind of what I was thinking too, and cross-compilation is still the fastest way to build for a different target.

New comment by pelcg in "Gvisor on Raspbian"

pelcg — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:13:36 +0000

What use-cases are there for gVisor on Raspbian, given that the target is a Raspberry Pi?

If you want inspiration on all kinds of TUIs on show and display Terminal Trove [1] is useful to get an idea for what other tools look like.

I find the search [2] also helpful.

Looks cool and this can be self hosted and it is for free.

Nice will try this out!

Maybe not, but in the past some here see that the blog is the product that is being promoted here.

Even in this thread alone https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47314929 some commenters here are clearly annoyed with the way AI is being shoved in each place where they do not want it.

I don't care, but I can see why many here are getting tired of it.

New comment by pelcg in "Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion"

pelcg — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 03:53:17 +0000

> As a principal engineer I feel completely let down. I've spent decades building up and accumulating expert knowledge and now that has been massively devalued. Any idiot can now prompt their way to the same software. I feel depressed and very unmotivated and expect to retire soon. Talk about a rug pull!

Really?

The vibe coders are running into a dark forest with a bunch of lobsters (OpenClaw) getting lost and confused in their own tech debt and you're saying they can prompt their way to the same software?

Someone just ended up wiping their entire production database with Claude and you believe that your experience is for nothing, towards companies that need stable infrastructure and predictability.

Cognitive debt is a real thing and being unable to read / write code that is broken is going to be an increasing problem which experienced engineers can solve.

Do not fall for the AI agent hype.

This is my concern with Notepad and the old one will just be gone for ever. Same thing happened with paint.
