New comment by techsystems in "South Korea introduces universal basic mobile data access"

Yes it does, but you probably need a bit of context.

They already have free Wi-Fi in every bus stop, train stations, government buildings, etc. like clocks, thermometers, air quality sensors, etc. The free Wi-Fi is very high quality, where you can watch 4K videos without stutters in most places (1080p for other places).

This is more about basics instead of luxurious/entertainment purposes, where if they run out of data on their contracts, the companies must provide data, albeit slow, still, where government provided Wi-Fi can't reach. 400 kbps is good enough for AI text streams, so it's a policy blend for their recently trending slew of AI policies.

I should also mention that it's a compromise from the telecom companies for recent incidents.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the difference between what you write and what AI writes?

But we have to reroute power from life support because auxiliary systems are down!

Ask HN: Everybody and their dog is building an agentic CLI. Any command bins?

techsystems — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:19:02 +0000

I just want to do something along the lines of

`agent.bin --init task.log` # logs all of my inputs and the agent's outputs

`agent.bin --set-rag rag.md` # optional if already set in config

`agent.bin --set-system-prompt system.md` # optional if already set in config

`agent.bin 'Build a single-page hero website for me'` # could also be --prompt

Then finally finishes with an ASCII art of a 'Task Finished' card with summary.

What's a good one? Is there a good one?

New comment by techsystems in "Tesla to buy $4.3B of LG Energy battery cells made in Michigan"

techsystems — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 21:23:17 +0000

Looks like Tesla is buying a lot from LG. Last year, it was for mobility/EV, now for the grid. I wonder if this Michigan facility will use precision robot arms like they have in Korea or there will be more manual labour.

After reading that post about how HN is for human conversations, it really made me curious what people think.

Interesting stuff! Korean 3 is different than what I remember. My version is a bit purer of a tongue twister.

들에 콩깍지 깐 콩깍지 안깐 콩깍지

Grew up in a trilingual family, learned a couple more, definitely the hardest tongue twister, by far.

Samsung originally scheduled production next year, but apparently it will be this year, ahead of schedule, and apparently winning the race.

This is a bit unclear to me. Is this implying that it hasn't been the time for industrial robots?

In 3.1, rejecting (R) fraudulent (F) goods resulting in 0 for the seller is a strong assumption. There are all kinds of possible negatives (typically risks of legal fees) for storage costs of fraudulent goods in the game of hot potato. It might be worth your time to look into the literature a bit more.

Thanks for the share, but I'm having a hard time understanding this.

On step 2, it's only jailing VS Code. Shouldn't it also jail the Git repo you're working on (and disable `git push` somehow), as well as all the env libs?

Also, isn't the point of this to auto approve everything?
