fragmede··on Goodbye Claude, hello Pi
Have you heard about sixel or the kitty graphics protocol? I. what makes me a terminal terrorist, I've got an adaptation of cat on my GitHub where you can cat an image in the terminal, and if you're using a modern terminal, it'll display the graphic.
fragmede··on GitHub Down Again?
Interesting to see the black text on white background page.
fragmede··on I toured Unitree's factory. I'm more bullish on the West
> 3) Custom assembly lines are expensive, and become obsolete when the product changes.

It is the intention of Atomic Machines to make that not true.

fragmede··on How Long Can Life Wait?
In all ernest honesty, ChatGPT's not the worst at that.

handbook for single introverts in their 30s who feel like that ship sailed a long time ago.

Why not? It's being given away for free! If you don't want to play with it, don't! The original GPL from 1989 states: Under the GNU General Public License (GPL), software is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

Are you saying no one is allowed to say anything unless it's a commercial product at which point it's advertising and we don't like that either so we're not allowed to say anything? I had this idea and built a thing. Yeah AI built it vs the before times. Sure, if it's shit, tear it down for the parts where it's being shit. Don't tear it down just because it comes from AI. We went from a world of software paucity to a world of software abundance.

Did I need to write a TUI to access HN via a terminal? No! But I did with the help of AI and I'm not going to force my program, nitpick, down anyone's throat but so what if it at the level of "I made this finger paint drawing and I want mommy and daddy to put it on the fridge" like I'm 5 years old. I'm having fun and you can try and shit on that all you want, but you aren't taking that away from me.

fragmede··on Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
I once got into a "debate" with WalterBright and I mean, I dunno. The man's accomplished far more than me, but like.
fragmede··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
This is why I absolutely will die on the hill that models can't be called open source if we don't have the source that created them.
fragmede··on [dead]
Real brave of you to throw out that opinion with an account you made 20 minutes ago. Who's the real AI here?
fragmede··on No portable way to detect string-to-float conversion errors in standard C
Thank you for reminding me that, while Python is slow, there are still reasons to pick it over the alternatives.
fragmede··on "Robot" Is a Social Construct: Why Your Dishwasher Is Not a Robot
What if you define robot as anything with an arm that can do arbitrary things?
fragmede··on Governments are mishandling the affordability crisis
Singapore's system of 99 year leases also comes to mind.
fragmede··on Whatever became of holography? (2011)
It's "just" an engineering problem at that point though. It works. First it'll be at Disneyland for tens of millions of dollars and then it'll be in Vegas for millions of dollars and then eventually we'll be able to get it at BestBuy for $1,999 in 40 years.
fragmede··on The gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is widening
What's frustrating is that at the end of an event like a concert, everyone goes outside to catch an Uber/Lyft, but we then have to match driver to passenger, instead of having a line of waiting cars, each group just gets in the next available vehicle, shows the driver a QR code, instead of the mess we currently have. Why can't we do that? Taxi regulatory capture.
fragmede··on Ask HN: Do you want a router that has DD-WRT pre-installed?
Glinet routers are already this.

Buy https://www.gl-inet.com/en-us/products/gl-mt3600be and move on with your life.

Alternately, what's the problem you're trying to solve? Who are your potential customers? Why do existing options in the market not address their needs?

fragmede··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
With the caveat that Libya, being located upon Earth, is affected by solar power not working at night or when it's cloudy, and is also subject to being in Libya, which is a country with bureaucrats that are going to subject anything built in the country to their laws.
fragmede··on A city-building game in which the city would prefer you didn't
And Paris.
fragmede··on IRCv3
TCP
fragmede··on Yes, and
Maybe. Given how far they've come since 2022, on the one hand, that would be great for the industry and my continued employment but OTOH that, I'm sorry to say, sounds like wishful thinking, tbh. I'd love that just as much as you, because otherwise how am I gonna pay my bills? What's gonna happen if that doesn't materialize though?
fragmede··on Ask HN: Do you still own a printer?
These days a color laser isn't too much. Depends on your budget.
fragmede··on When I type "hi" into Claude Code, what happens?
I didn't really get the ending but what is there is cool.
fragmede··on The Lightbulb Computer
Projectors are cheap enough for this to work.
fragmede··on Microsoft 365 Cuts Family OneDrive Storage from 6 TB to 2 TB
There's already been multiple stories of AI deleting the code and the production database and the backups, but people are still YOLO-ing despite that. So you're right and it's not gonna stop people.
fragmede··on Sorry, I'm in a meeting
There's count down timer videos on YouTube with millions of views. Like, we live in such a time of digital excess that a video of a timer, thrown over the Internet, is just how some people do timers. I'm very confused by it all.
fragmede··on REA Reverse – Engineer Anything
What were the bugs?
fragmede··on Has the Autonomous Trucking Revolution Arrived?
I mean, if you're living in the truck that you're driving across country, back and forth, and your parents have passed, where would you put as your address? You don't have an apartment you're renting, because that would just be a waste of money since you're never there.
fragmede··on Ask HN: Whats the first command you run on a new server?
ssh funky.nondeterministic.computer
fragmede··on Has the Autonomous Trucking Revolution Arrived?
Fully autonomous is a long ways off, but semi-automated can't get here fast enough. Drive a comma.ai equipped car over a long road trip or other advanced driving aid, and just feel how much less frazzled you are after driving for a few hours.
fragmede··on Triple-A Minesweeper
theres an FPS version of minesweeper out there
fragmede··on Show HN: Let your AI agents paint big arrows, boxes and text on your screen
I mean, it's a little like that. If I ask for a Todo app, it's not going to make me a chess game or rm -rf my files instead.
fragmede··on The dawn of the age of the exoskeleton
Painting the ceiling is tiresome and is one place an exoskeleton really helps. If someone can paint for 8 hours instead of 6, and be less physically bad off, the gain isn't measured in productivity, it's elsewhere.
