Not the same goals, risks, monetary budget, time budget.

If your goal was to absolutely prevent any errors and you would go great lengths to do it, you would.

Just look at any safety critical systems: medical, transportation. There has been some incidents, but some systems do work really well that are developed today.

The page you linked to has a TOC for LLMs: https://manual.mikrotik.com/llms.txt

I can believe that as people questioned the need for _rapid_ reusability without the market. However saying that F9 has no market besides starlink is false. Take a look at Q1'24. report: https://payloadspace.com/payload-research-q1-space-industry-... 20 starlink / 11 commercial

2025 report https://spacedaily.com/t-spacex-launched-165-falcon-9-rocket...

123 Starlink / 42 commercial. Almost 1 commercial launch per week. I don't think any other launcher does 42 launches per year apart from china.

And the way F9 enabled Starlink is spectacular - a money printing machine on itself for SpaceX.

Okay, thanks. I thought split-DNS is a hack even at home.

Totally agree on the AD part - luckily we had an option to migrate to different domain and name our AD correctly :)

That's for the cert part, yeah, got it.

I thought you have a solution to overcome not having to do split DNS where I define public IP in public DNS and internal IP within some local hosted DNS.

Like how to make so that when connecting from inside local network the router recognize that by connecting to public IP, he has to route it back onto some local IP address?

... Could you please provide a solution? What should I do in my homelab?

Saying something isn't bad without pointing to right direction makes my insides hurt a little bit.

What does it mean - scrap? Are you going to sell them? For how much?

It may very well be because of process too.

I don't like people calling out soldered stuff. By the way, soldered stuff may still be serviceable at 3rd party service centers, just not at every DIYers home. It will cost you quite some money, yeah.

There are laptops that have soldered RAM + Free slot for upgrade. But regulating that stuff is just stupid I think - there is a valid reason for manufacturers to try make things more compact, more streamlined etc.

I just want to open and usage the default model and within limits. That's all I ask.

Well... doesn't it work just like that, always? Open, prompt, get the result form whatever model your agent extension decides now should be the default one.

Don't repeat mistakes of people that were making fun of SpaceX landing rockets before they started to land.

Starship has so much innovation in there, the raptors itself etc.

It launches, it flies, it re-enters and it lands. The engines work. The heat protection work. Even when they push it to the limits by intentionally experimenting with different heat protection, omitting tiles etc. Even when they are in R&D stage.

I believe they can make it work with little refurbishment between flights. Even if all didn't work like they planned, they still have a very, very good vehicle.

I mean something must go off the rails very very badly for the Starship NOT to enter the service.

I am a constant

What did you mean by that? You don't accept mutability or any inputs on your state of mind?

Oh boy, that server story is painful to read. That ain't universal across providers. I work at european data center and was a tech and the worst SLA is like next business day and even then if our hardware is at fault, you won't be waiting for the next day for us to start taking action on it. And if you have a feeling you're left in dark, you can even pick up the phone at middle of the night to call our support and either get some status or light some fire that will prioritize the process in the pipeline (well, to actually DO something other than cold reboot at night time you may need to purchase SLA that will require involvement of higher support level at nighttime/holiday)

There are some things that I'd like to be improved in technical support side, but we are way better in "human reachability", responsiveness and "blame game" point of view than US hyperscalers.

Not justifying AI expenses, but $2500/mo could easily cost employer close to 5000$/mo depending on country.

If you're just trying to handle them with reflection none of this is an issue

But maybe indicates on how expensive that reflection call can be? Reading multiple .dlls ?

You can mute group chats in whatsapp.

Nop - that is a niche site, every product is stocked locally and it is to immensely reduce time required to insert new products. And it is not to generate new information, but to add existing info (apart from translation but most languages are known to check).

My brother with no programming experience took some AI courses and automated adding products to his ecommerce site from his suppliers. Fetches images, converts them, categorizes, adds descriptions/specs in multiple languages translated via DeepL API, calculates prices.

He also tries to troubleshoot/debug stuff without calling me... and just asking me to choose right path offered by AI. I love it :) Because I usually make people wait and don't have much time outside my business hours to do additional tech stuff.

Well Coding agents are being tackled. Infrastructure agents that would read your host event logs, device configuration, ilo, etc, etc - that is probably the missing piece.

Having a chat with chatgpt may give you clues or ideas when you have gone throught your own checklist of what could have went wrong, but can go only as far.

Agent on the other side will decompile .dll to find out issues if needed to go deep enought.

Well I recently also repaired home appliance (washing machine with fault code).

Opened ChatGPT, photographed the machine because I didn't know concrete model, he saw the error code. I told that it also leaked prior to today and it just said: clean the filter.

Did it, and now it continues to work :)

Another bullet point: Father has older Audi, Battery drains fast. Some mechanic said him to check comfort control module - usually does that for those older cars.

While I was measuring how much Amps battery draws and let ChatGPT know what I'm doing, he also tells me the same stuff mechanic did. I hope that mechanic wasn't using ChatGPT :) Anyways, there was no current leak after ripping out comfort control module.

Yeah... sometimes it doesn't find anything.

Anyways, this has pitched me towards app "Everything"

I occasionally check whether after all these years MS has fixed the search... no, no surprise there.

I get that it depends on indexing service which may be buggy, etc... but I guess it is possible to prioritize/have alternate index for most important stuff like executables. This bugs me the most: there is a program, but I cannot find it. I must know to navigate my way within start menu or program files (for stuff like debugging/perf tools from Microsoft)

And given lots of comments there are on HN about Windows search, why no MS guy here silently sitting has escalated this "sentiment" to the correct ears? Oh please.

Depending on the data "sending an email and getting a result within 30 days" may not be basis for approving deletion request. You have no way to identify whether the data is associated with the person (if the data is not associated with the email).

So additional validation would surely be subject to friction.

You can't delete your account by self-service, you have to email dang, which is probably non-compliance because it adds friction

GDPR has nothing to do with friction I beleve.

Our lawyer told me that GDPR also applies to paper records, so there is some real-world friction right there.

The important part that there is a right - in whatever good/broken process it is enveloped is irrelevant.

Moreover does HN host PII data? Not if you don't give it to them.

A graph I have to question is even accurate.

Across 170 days with at least one incident · worst day Thu, Nov 20, 2025 (1.1 days)

1.1 days total how is that possible? Scrolling over that day doesn't indicate the math behind the scenes - 1.3 hours single bullet point.

Also Nov 19 has a bullet point 1.3 day outage but total is 8.1 hours

5 hours have passed since you ruined the comment count.

Have you ever made a decision to NOT download something, turn on your computer, experiment, etc based on your perceived impact on the planet?

I mean this should (and is) be tackled at the source: 0/low emission energy generation and not consumer having to think about these decisions. Sustainable data centers using renewables etc. But not that the companies should associate/evaluate/consider bytes downloaded with environmental impact.

At Chrome's scale, the climate bill for one model push, paid in atmospheric CO2 by the entire planet, is between six thousand and sixty thousand tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions, depending on how many devices receive the push.

Environmental analysis for operations? Not a fan of thinking in such terms.

For users on capped mobile data plans, particularly in regions where smartphone-as-only-internet is dominant (much of Africa, much of South and Southeast Asia, most of Latin America), 4 GB of unrequested download is on the order of a month's data allowance, vapourised by Chrome on the user's behalf. Google has not, to my knowledge, published any analysis of the welfare impact of this on the populations whose internet access is metered.

THIS is a valid concern. Otherwise I'm not buying into "ask for consent because of dependency X". Users don't like questions/consents.

However OS (at least windows) has an way to set network connection as a metered so software can make informed decisions. Also Android has "Data Saver" function which should also be honored by software.

Mikrotik is made in many countries, including EU: https://www.reddit.com/r/mikrotik/comments/13j62c6/comment/j...

MikroTik products are manufactured in many countries: china, lithuania, latvia, malaysia, vietnam.

so anyone interested can reproduce the results themselves.

Weird reasoning.

You already caught our attention with your article. But not everyone has the time or means to go and re-do the tests.

However such information is really important to surface when making infra decisions. And if one of the brain cells pops up and says something about 20-80% perf improvement VS there were some perf improvements - which would be more convincing to research the topic when the time comes for the reader to benefit from your research?

1279 units vs total 20'000'000 units or 0,006% doesn't make a difference

What is interesting is that tesla had 1'636'129 deliveries in 2025 which accounts for 8,1% of that number. That means other vendors are healthy and it is a good thing for EV market.

You are using HN which may or may not be hosted in datacenter.

To reach HN you are probably hopping via some communication hubs that may be located in datacenter.

You are going to store to buy some stuff which probably hosts their infra in a datacenter or use datacenter services.

You do use mobile phone? Well they also need to host services somewhere and make connectivity.

The school where your kids go either uses school management software and/or websites which provide educational material or doing exams.

Then you have online video conferencing...

I mean this list could get pretty long - I think listing them here on HN is kind of useless. It is just the datacenter infra is at the very bottom, providing foundational but invisible service to end users. Just like we don't see how things are manufactured or how raw materials are sourced for making real stuff, same goes with datacenter.
