> GTA SA, GTA III and Vice City are all running live inside the same process. VC renders into a GTA III texture, and GTA III renders into a GTA SA texture. Every layer is playable in real time. Built using modified re3/reVC and librw.

> THIS ISN’T A VIDEO PLAYING ON A TEXTURE. THE FULL GAMES ARE RUNNING LIVE INSIDE GTA SA, IN THE SAME PROCESS, NOTHING IS STREAMED FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM.

That's badass.

I think at one point in the future we can do a one-shot decompilation with one of the SOTA LLM models.

They 100 percent sit in Russia, which will 100 percent ignore this, even if their identity gets uncovered. So it's perfectly safe to continue for the operators.

The water cooling system then serves multiple functions, including acting as a radiation shield.

New comment by randomtoast in "K3k: Kubernetes in Kubernetes"

randomtoast — Sat, 02 May 2026 08:08:30 +0000

This type of approach carries a significantly higher operational risk compared to operating multiple Kubernetes clusters on separate VMs or physical hardware. If you eventually update the main Kubernetes cluster that manages the virtual clusters and something goes wrong, you could potentially bring down your entire fleet of Kubernetes clusters all at once.

I guess in today's age you would just schedule an agent to check the website every day.

Because Opus on $20 CC is a joke. The $19 plan on Kimi has actually workable usage limits.

The operators are likely based in Russia, and the US has no jurisdiction there. As a result, they can simply ignore any US actions and continue their operations.

Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) is already insanely difficult. It introduces 2,500 questions spanning mathematics, humanities, natural sciences, ancient languages, ...

Here is an example question: https://i.redd.it/5jl000p9csee1.jpeg

No human could even score 5% on HLE.

The repository only exist for seven days and was likely written by Claude code, which makes it not very trustworthy for storing personal data.

Do you have any recommendations for CLI-based microVM solutions that support running multiple instances of Claude Code with "--yolo sandboxing" on Linux?

New comment by randomtoast in "Run Linux containers on Android, no root required"

randomtoast — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 08:57:38 +0000

I find it somewhat amusing that it uses QEMU to emulate Linux in order to create a container with restricted permissions, even though it is already running on Linux with restricted permissions. I get the point while it is designed that way, but still funny.

I would prefer to have the prompt he used to generate the article. Similarly, for compiled binaries, I would rather have the source code that produced them, instead of just an .exe file.

If you think that the article is written by human or that is is unclear, please go ahead. Others here on HN also have pointed out that the author shoots out such lengthy blog posts every day. And you can also see the typical emoji AI slop here: https://www.ivanturkovic.com/services/

But I have no issue with your argumentation whatsoever, it is just that I think there is more than sufficient evidence, and you think there is not.
