Tapo C125 has a built-in physical shutter. Also, every PTZ camera can just turn to face the wall, that would maybe defeat this too (not sure). For the typical indoor WiFi cameras without battery backup, a simple way to detect them could be

Flashy features often seem more targeted at tech reviewers and impressive demos than actual day-to-day use. Like movies having some scenes purely because they look good in a trailer.

On the other hand, it's also much less effort to do at least some rudimentary review. Or make a fork with only the minimim set of parts that your agent cherry picks.

Maybe that's because back then it just didn't affect enough people at the same time. They weren't too big to fail.

With regards to b), what is the evidence that they actually deliver on this promise?

Yeah, that's just a copium answer from people who simply want to hand wave away the issue instead of admitting they have no good answers. Like a politician who's asked about this in a town hall, but thinks that "our plan is

If that's how you feel, maybe the applications you're making are too simple to need any of your unique contribution. The answer could be to just push further, and try solving harder problems.

This depends entirely on your local laws and the kinds of loans banks offer. In most places, you can only get recourse mortgages. You will be liable for the rest of the mortgage, if the value of the house drops so much that selling it doesn

Ah, then yeah, in that case, it'd be basically over. Maybe large exchanges would try to step in to make a fresh chain based on their combined account data, and just drop the people relying on self-custody. But I doubt the market would

In practice, what you really need is consensus. As long as enough of the important participants agree, that's how it will be. And since there are millions of identical copies of the entire pre-attack ledger out there, this should not b

Yeah, it makes it sound like your attention is given as an act of charity. A lot of online discourse tends to be very "creator-first" framed, rather than "audience-first".

This has to be intentional, right?

"Local history" is a very popular feature in the JetBrains IDEs (just search HN comments), and I remember similar tools appearing on HN several times in the past (for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

Yeah, but that's not the same, as most readers will just skip over that. What I said is more similar to HN's monthly "who's hiring" threads or "what are you working on" threads. Like https://new

I think the problem with such places is, they just become a dump for self-promotion by people who otherwise don't participate at all. The opposite of an actual community. That's why even reddit used to have a 10-to-1 rule of thumb

Usually online communities have dedicated days for such things. Like a "side project Sunday" or such, with one large thread.

Even if you trust the intentions of whoever you're giving your data to, you may not trust their ability to keep it safe from data breaches. Those happen all the time.

It's always good to have viable alternatives, if only to prevent vendor lock-in in case they make some drastic changes in policy or pricing.

Copilot plan limits are however "per prompt", and prompts that ask the agent to do a lot of stuff with a large context are obviously going to be more expensive to run than prompts that don't.

Well they are doing the same to website owners who rely on human visitors for their revenue streams. Both scraping and on-demand agent-driven interactions erode that. So you could look at people doing the same to them as a sort of poetic ju

Without breaking legitimate clients? At some point it becomes easier to just reevaluate the business model. Or just make a superior product.

The endgame is a small background agent that runs Claude Code every once in a while, inspects its traffic, and adjusts on the fly.

That will only work as long as there is an active "the web" to search. Unless the models get smart enough to figure out the answer from scratch.

Speaking of the macOS menu bar, is there some way to make it overflow into a hidden area behind an "expand" button that would appear when there is no more room, like the notification area in Windows does? The macOS UI decision of

That depends entirely on your surroundings. Dark room? Dark mode. Next to a window or on a balcony on a sunny day? Light mode.
