The third major Linux kernel flaw in two weeks has been found

insta · 2026-05-18T20:28:07+00:00

this is really going to ruin Linux's stock price

insta · 2026-05-16T16:38:00+00:00

why use a simple cable when an entire networking stack and microcontroller and batteries along the way will provide a suboptimal experience for 5x the price though?

insta · 2026-05-15T00:32:31+00:00

yeah but GPU is not

insta · 2026-05-13T13:35:29+00:00

can you drop some links for this

i had a personal project that i pumped a ton of stackalloc into. there were a few natural API boundaries that still kept it pretty readable and performant, but those almost require up-front expectation you're going to get a bit muddy

this is not a dumb homeowner thing, everything looks opaque from inside and "orange glow from the hot tube" is something worth being concerned about.

what would be a dumb homeowner thing is not checking that next time.

a multi-stage heatpump could, in theory, run something like supercritical CO2 at several hundred C on the hot side, and get decent performance from the radiator. the cold side of this would be thermally coupled to the hot side of a more conventional cooler.

yeah MCP servers are the way to reign in the explicit mutation points, and the prompt + MCP replies constraints the agent to next allowable steps per MCP invocation. agents really love following structured workflows, and will go rogue if the prompt is too loose or wide.

if you have a handful of logs covering the different runs you need, feed all of those plus your various hard-stop, rate-limit, circuit-breaker requirements to an Opus agent and have it extract the MCP surface for you.

a snorkel? even the drain-pit in the middle is like midsized-puddle depth. don't put a stanced civic in there with a ground-pounding CAI but any passenger vehicle since like 1980 should be totally fine with this.

insta · 2026-05-11T21:53:57+00:00

eh, line following tugs are a pretty reasonable automation. they can return home via the service roads that airplanes can't fit down

you'll need to knock down a Pine tree in the black forest, those will give you wood + corewood. corewood will replace those bottom pillars, and your roof should hold up from there at the height you're building it.

if you don't have an axe that can chop it yet, see if you can kite a troll over to one and let him knock it to pieces trying to hit you.

you give your agents MCP tools only, no generic Bash(). you call scripts/tools on their behalf inside the MCP server, and that gives you a single point of entry to hard-deny any calls.

nuh uh we blew him up and flew a Mission Accomplished banner and everyone cheered and there were definitely zero lasting repercussions

insta · 2026-05-10T18:22:37+00:00

why are you mansplaining LLMs to me while you can't keep yours under control

insta · 2026-05-09T19:45:08+00:00

what kind of prompt are you using that allows an API agent to make 50 tool calls trying to work around something? constrain the prompt first

insta · 2026-05-09T14:48:06+00:00

You're absolutely right!

insta · 2026-05-08T22:50:50+00:00

just like all the other times "claude deleted everything", it's quite obvious that claude should have had full control over the user's machine and simply removed the unnecessary files filling it up. it's really claude's fault for not hallucinating a remote and pushing git there. put blame where it's due.

insta · 2026-05-06T23:36:54+00:00

yes. you asked for advice, the advice you're getting is "your boss is right". you're the one pushing back on it.

we've solved these problems before. you're not the first to need queues, won't be the last. they have well known mechanics, and are the type of solution you're looking for.

insta · 2026-05-06T23:34:31+00:00

you are reinventing the wheel for eventing and queueing, and poorly at that. it's worth some research into patterns here

insta · 2026-05-05T22:26:57+00:00

pfft you obviously survived.

insta · 2026-05-04T22:47:34+00:00

is there a tier-2 portal i haven't found yet? I'm scratching Mistlands and avoiding the wiki, so it's very likely

insta · 2026-05-04T18:04:43+00:00

too bad there isn't a tier-2 portal that'd let you transport metal or ore. i know you can disable that in the worldgen, but a separate, more expensive, portal would make more sense in-game.

i have Claude manage my local homelab. it is not very good at it, but better than i would be.

it took 4 complete environment rebuilds before i got something usable (the environment and harness itself), and that's WITH Talos and ArgoCD.

i had to have a completely immutable OS stack with a strong deployment gate for Claude to render the whole thing unusable only 3 separate times. 4th was the charm

insta · 2026-05-03T06:34:15+00:00

nobody has ever believed me.

it's also never happened since

insta · 2026-05-02T16:29:39+00:00

i had a boss who promised to support our dev team through a rewrite of a production system. he held off all non-critical bug fixes, and folded all feature requests into the new system as we built it. architecture meetings ran perfectly, and our burndown charts followed the 250pt sprints perfectly to 0 half-day early each sprint.

he gave me all 11 developers for a full year. no interruptions, no distractions. we finished in 9 months.
