"In northern European countries, it's not part of our culture, and it freaks us out big time. We're not trying to be rude — so please be respectful."
"It was one of the worst situations I've ever had to walk into. I've seen some bad stuff, but this was the worst deal of anything I've ever encountered!"
The bar is on the floor, but how low can it go?
Don't pack less, just pack smarter!
Here is exactly what you need to pack in your emergency bag in case of a natural disaster or evacuation order.
In a combat experiment that oddly resembles the claw game at an arcade, the Army will strap a test dummy under an oversized drone at an exercise in Poland this week, the first step toward eventually evacuating injured soldiers from active combat.As part of ongoing NATO exercises in Poland, the Army will test whether an oversized quadcopter, known as a Flowcopter, can safely fly a casualty out of combat and to a nearby field hospital, officials confirmed to Task & Purpose. The Poland exercise
All eyes may be on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, but the ongoing mission at the U.S.-Mexico border continues as soldiers from the 101st Airborne and 1st Armored divisions will soon deploy to the region as part of the latest rotation of troops.The move comes after the 101st’s headquarters and artillery elements were deployed to the border in the fall.On Tuesday, the Army announced that four units would be part of this summer’s deployments to the southern border. About 8,700 U.S. troops on active
Most multi-agent systems fail the same way: agents drift apart across handoffs. By turn 3 they are working in different realities. By turn 5 they are repeating each other's mistakes and calling it parallelism. WUPHF is an open-source local-first office where AI coworkers run on your laptop, around a shared markdown + git LLM wiki the agents build. The wiki is the collective memory. The office around it keeps the team on the same shared context across thousands of handoffs.What actually stop

Two Air Force rescue squadrons have been awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for their roles in the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, including the desperate evacuation of American citizens and Afghans from Kabul in August 2021.The Presidential Unit Citation is the highest award that U.S. military troops can be awarded for collective action as a unit, rather than individual valor. Past recipients include the 2nd Ranger Battalion in World War II for the daring capture of Pointe du H

Hi HN,I’m an anesthesiologist and YC alum. I built Pixie initially for my own kids.There’s a little-known but completely legal tax rule in the US:If a child has legitimate earned income, you can contribute to a custodial Roth IRA for them. And you can start as early as 5-6 years old.But when I spoke with my friends, everyone was confused and concerned about compliance.Most parents:• Don’t know what qualifies as legitimate work• Don’t know how to document it properly• Are nervous about audit risk
Hi HN,I'm building Traceprompt - an open-source SDK that seals every LLM call and exports write-once, read-many (WORM) logs auditors trust.Here's an example - a LLM that powers a bank chatbot for loan approvals, or a medical triage app for diagnosing health issues. Regulators, namely HIPAA and the upcoming EU AI Act, missing or editable logs of AI interactions can trigger seven-figure fines.So, here's what I built:- TypeScript SDK that wraps any OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini etc API c
I recently discovered Omarchy, not that I'm using it, but I really like the passion from dhh, and to be honest the script looks amazing. But I noticed he has dedicated a script for Dropbox, and uses it. Now I'm old enough to be an early adopter of Dropbox, and I remember clearly one particular email from them saying how interesting it is for users using their service for x and y, and since then I assume they can see _everything_ which really put me off. So I guess my question is how ca
Does anyone have advice for a device I could lock down that would allow my children to listen to podcasts I've downloaded to my local network using Audio Bookshelf? So far the best I've been able to come up with is to buy a cheep Android phone, install the Audio Bookshelf app, and configure my network to not allow the device to access the internet. The only issue with this plan is that as far as I can tell there's no easy way to only install the Audio Bookshelf app, and remove all
My children are in college pursuing STEM degrees (CS and Robotics), with one also pursuing an art double major (animation).While we are in the US, we also have family in Europe and Latin America.So, what's the concern? Well, there are two that I think should be obvious.The first is how AI will alter the landscape. It is easy to see that companies might be able to develop products with somewhere between 1/5 to 1/10 the engineers in the not-too-distant future. Let's define t
I co-founded a successful security company close to the Mythos ecosystem and have spoken with participants in the know and I am deeply concerned. We, collectively, have answers for some but not all of the problems ahead but are overlooking the speed at which we can apply fixes even if they magically are generated instantaneously by Mythos.Here are some considerations to consider:1. More Vulnerabilities Are Coming: Supposedly Mythos can find vulnerabilities more effectively, many models can do th
