Sorry, I haven't done anything of the sort - I've been a member here for years and haven't told anyone about this post
aiddun··on Show HN: Deep Research for Flights
If you or someone in your life books flights a lot, I'd love to hear what they think!
aiddun··on Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS
Very excited about this. I was programming an ESP32 for a project recently and was like, computer chips are fast enough, why can't I just write TypeScript?
aiddun··on Musks xAI pressed employees to install surveillance software on personal laptops
I'm under the impression from the article that these are for the people RLHFing the model, not the engineers
aiddun··on Why Michigan Still Uses a Ford Model T for Official Government Business
that video on my MacBook Pro almost blinded me
aiddun··on Mixture-of-Depths: Dynamically allocating compute in transformers
Speculative decoding does this to an extent - using a smaller model to generate its own predictions and putting them in the batch of the bigger model until they diverge

aiddun··on Winding down Google Sync and Less Secure Apps support
You can still configure an app password
aiddun··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2023)
FUTO | https://futo.org | Austin, TX or Remote | Full time

FUTO is an organization dedicated to the development of software that returns control of computers and technology to the people. We’re particularly interested in giving people more privacy and control from big tech. We also give grants to open source projects in line with our mission (see our site).

We just launched Grayjay, an Android app with a universal subscription feed for all creator video platforms that lets creators and audiences be less reliant on a single platform, and makes directly supporting creators easier than ever.

We're hiring an electron/vue and/or android engineer to help bring the product to more people

aiddun··on Gaussian splatting is pretty cool
Could someone please explain to me what the advantage of this is over traditional photogrammetry?

aiddun··on MuseScore 4.1 is now available
I use https://flat.io/community/popular/weekly for sheet music sharing now - no paywall and all browser-based.
aiddun··on FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund
Fixed! Thanks for bringing this up
aiddun··on FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund
Asked him and he said he was talking about having to travel here to do the fellowship. "If you are international, we will accept you as a fellow and help you come to texas, but the fellowship program will not allow you to be in the fellowship program if you want to stay in your home country throughout the program."
aiddun··on FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund
Yes! It's not on the site yet but we recently gave microgrants to VLC, FFMpeg, the Blender Foundation, as well as other non-US projects. We also just had a fellow[1, applications now open] from Lithuania. (I work for FUTO)

aiddun··on Ask HN: Bypassing GPT-4 8k tokens limit
Bing chat creative mode is the 32k model
aiddun··on Nvidia drivers are detecting and reporting LLaMa/LLM users
Are there any steps anywhere on how to reproduce this? Otherwise I’d assume it’s a hoax
aiddun··on maps.google.com now redirects to google.com/maps
Now how long until they put ads under google.com/*
aiddun··on Linear.app
Sure but have you ever used Jira?
aiddun··on Facebook users sue Meta for bypassing beefy Apple security to spy on millions
> Meta's business model depends on selling user data to advertisers

This is just wrong, right?

aiddun··on Open-source rival for OpenAI’s DALL-E runs on your graphics card
IIRC Craiyon runs Dalle-mega. https://huggingface.co/dalle-mini/dalle-mega

Note I think you need 16gb of VRAM to run it.

aiddun··on Show HN: I built an all-in-one virtual production platform for indies
This is sick! A few weeks back I made a very, very crude unreal engine AR-camera client to record mixed reality marketing footage for a VR game on a mobile iPad. It was a pain in the butt, I had to rebuild the whole app on every map change and had like no features. It was disheartening to realize that while the tech was there, it seemed like no tools really existed to easily do this (easily and affordably) for small filmmakers. Super happy to see the barrier is being significantly lowered!
aiddun··on US life insurance company paid out 163% more for deaths of workers 18-64 in 2021
I would expect pre-rapid-ubiquity covid tests had a lot to do with this. Speaking personally, the covid testing sites I went to all loved to charge tests as doctor's visits.
aiddun··on Why JSON Isn’t A Good Configuration Language (2018)
I really like the solution Tailwind and some other JavaScript tools have taken to this where instead of a tailwind.json, there’s a tailwind.config.js, which is a plain ol JS file that exports a JS object. Allows for importing constants from other modules, scripting, comments, conditionals, etc
aiddun··on Hardware-accelerated Linux virtual machines on jailbroken iPhone 12 / iOS 14.1
I'd love to be able to use an M1 iPad Pro as a remote compilation server
aiddun··on Show HN: I built a VR laser tag course you can run around in
Hello! I think VR headset colocation is super cool and I wanted to try building something with it. I'm currently trying to turn this into an actual laser tag course you can go to, and if you're interested in progress updates putting down your email at https://userland.us is super appreciated.
aiddun··on The triple dot syntax (` `) in JavaScript: rest vs. spread
Shameless plug, I introduced an ECMA proposal for a conditional rest and spread operator a few months ago and would appreciate support or suggestions if you would find it useful.

aiddun··on Tell HN: Azure is having a major outage
Yeah. I don't know the specific percentage, but I'd guess the vast vast majority of Azure code is C#.
