California's similar law was struck down by court on the basis that states can't legislate federal agencies.

https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/04/immigration-mask-ban-...

> An 1890 Supreme Court case provides that a state cannot prosecute federal law enforcement officers acting in the course of their duties.

> The law also ran headlong into the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which holds that states may not regulate the operations of the federal government.


> The worst products are now formerly high quality Western brands with PE overlords that forced them to outsource manufacturing to the lowest bidder.

Wrong thread. You probably meant to post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47755629


Adding to this: while certs are indeed well-supported by OpenSSH, it's not always the SSH daemon used on alternate or embedded platforms.

For example, OpenWRT used Dropbear [1] instead, which does not support certs. Also, Java programs that implement SSH stuff, like Jenkins, may be doing so using Apache Mina [2] which, though the underlying library supports certs, it is buggy [3] and requires the application to add the UX to also support it.

[3] I've been dealing for years with NullPointerExceptions causing the connection to crash when presented with certain ed25519 certificates.


You can just replace dropbear with openssh on OpenWRT. That was one of the first things I did, since DropBear also doesn't support hardware backed (sk) keys. Just move it to 2222 and disable the service.

I reenabled DB on that alt port when I did the recent major update, just in case, but it wasn't necessary. After the upgrade, OpenSSH was alive and ready.


I downvoted this comment for sounding like a summarizing LLM, not adding anything substantial beyond the title of the post, before realizing you were the poster and author.


I didn’t know that “subtitle” would appear as first comment.


huh, i didn't realise that's what that does either


> it's basically a cost optimization masquerading as a feature

Cost optimization in the user's favor.

Remember that every time you send a new message to the LLM, you are actually sending the entire conversation again with that added last message to the LLM.

Remember that LLMs are fixed functions, the only variable is the context input (and temperature, sure).

Naively, this would lead to quadratic consumption of your token quota, which would get ridiculously expensive as conversations stretch into current 100k-1M context windows.

To solve this, AI providers cache the context on the GPU, and only charge you for the delta in the conversation/context. But they're not going to keep that GPU cache warm for you forever, so it'll time out after some inactivity.

So the microcompaction-on-idle happens to soften the token consumption blow after you've stepped away for lunch, your context cache has been flushed by the AI provider, and you basically have to spend tokens to restart your conversation from scratch.


They lost me at "our conductors are coax!". USB is designed around differential signaling, which is what twisted pair excels at.


Twisted pair is good but it only gets your losses so low at these speeds. Keep in mind that USB cables have a very small budget for signal loss, and at 40Gbps they're carrying frequencies 25x higher than 10gig ethernet.


> Not to mention that WindowServer seems to take 100+% cpu since the upgrade

That's because some app is spamming window updates.

It's been an ongoing problem for many releases. AFAICT, WindowServer 100% CPU is a symptom, not a cause.


But apps shouldn't be able to hammer WindowServer in the first place. If your app is misbehaving, your app should hang, not the OS window compositor!

FWIU there's really no backpressure mechanism for apps delegating compositing (via CoreAnimation / CALayers) to WindowServer which is the real problem IMO.


And I could imagine SwiftUI only makes this worse, because it's quite easy to trigger tons of unnecessary redraws.


People don't really like apps that stutter.


And maybe that would get enough users to leave or complain that managers might allow some dev time to fix bad behavior.


Symptoms with no way to understand why.

If Apple would give insight about this, the developers wold get bug reports and complaints

Similar to the electron shit


> So ICE is taking over from the TSA in airports

It's even more disgusting than that:

"Tom Homan: ICE officers will not assist with airport security scanning amid TSA staffing shortage"

https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/5795316-homan-ice-...


I can't tell what's supposed to be disgusting about this unless you stopped reading past the inflammatory headline.


> It is really weird not to care about the first impression that your manual makes on a curious reader.

On the contrary, I think this is an all-too-familiar pitfall for the, er... technically minded.

"I've implemented it in the code. My work here is done. The rest is window dressing."
