ghostly_s··on Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI
This "community" is clearly not a monolith.
ghostly_s··on Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI
Id like to see news about AI, just not AI tooling or "show hn my new AI project". obviously that's not as trivial to filter.
ghostly_s··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
why wouldnt they? there are no real consequences for an algorithm.
ghostly_s··on Stop making swap partitions—use swap files instead

ghostly_s··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
What more are you hoping for? There is no legal matter at play, is the court of public opinion going to subpoena their records?
ghostly_s··on Tell HN: OpenAI keeps re-enabling the 'allow training' setting
I take it you are referring to this[1], which has nothing to do with training.

ghostly_s··on Rust is tier-1 language at Microsoft
Are you thinking this augurs more interoperability features in C?
ghostly_s··on How to build a printer
That's weird, the product page says "TXT, EPUB, MOBI, PDF, JPG, PNG" and prominently claims it is good for manga, which definitely wouldn't be possible with those formats.
ghostly_s··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
Indeed, I remember it being pilloried after release but the Steam reviews now are generally quite positive from players who've logged tons of hours.
ghostly_s··on GNU Radio in the browser
No idea what I'm looking at, it's just combining some noise and a sawtooth wave to create pretty visuals I guess? if this is meant to serve as an introduction to the project it's not really succeeding. The "Description" isn't even readable despite most of the page being used for empty space. I guess it's expected to have no audio output? I presume the real purpose of this is to process signals from an actual radio?

The "Help"->"Help" menu item is notably unhelpful:

> For questions, comments, or suggestions, you can email support@gnuradioworld.com, join the Discord server, or post a GitHub issue.

"Help"->"About" at least starts to clarify some things:

> GNU Radio, entirely in your browser — explore the open-source SDR ecosystem with zero install!

> GNU Radio World is a browser-based GNU Radio Companion flowgraph editor and WebAssembly runtime. You can place, connect, and configure blocks, then run the resulting flowgraph directly in your browser.

> It is designed to download only the WebAssembly modules corresponding to the blocks you use. This on-demand architecture keeps the initial download small and can support a limitless collection of out-of-tree modules (OOTs) in the future.

> GNU Radio World also includes a collection of real RF recordings that are downloaded only when you use them. You can inspect the recordings in the built-in recording view, adapted from IQEngine, and use them in the included flowgraph examples, allowing OOTs to be shown off with real recordings of the corresponding signals

Please don't use "fork" as a bookmark, it's quite annoying.
ghostly_s··on AirPods 5
Apple's product has never been near the top in ergonomics nor sound quality, there's no big mystery. The UX and the ANC were their differentiator but the competition has largely closed that gap.
ghostly_s··on iPhone Duo
I think it would be pretty rare to find a paper "storage or processing " device that can accommodate letter but not A4.
ghostly_s··on iPhone Duo
the lcd is flexible, it doesn't fold in a sharp crease but uses a complicated hinge to roll it into a loose bend when closed. But maintaining a "crease-free" appearance after many use cycles seems to be a major challenge in this market.
ghostly_s··on Searching for the best silicone USB cable
Yes, we all know the US economy is effectively severed from that of the rest of the world now.

> SOOW aka EPDM cables

AFAIK there's nothing about the SOOW spec that requires EPDM.

ghostly_s··on How to build a printer
It's an e-reader. According to the specs it has native support for PDF.
ghostly_s··on How to build a printer
This thing is an e-reader with 16GB of flash and an SD slot. It has native support for PDF.

ghostly_s··on Tesla killing Solar Roof is leaving installers with six-figure losses
There was nothing here to ruin, this is exactly the typical level of discourse.
ghostly_s··on AI models ran real businesses: They sent $12,431 in fake invoices, lost $3,200
No one credible is saying this, who are "they?"

> I thought these things were supposed to be way more intelligent than every human ever, combined.

Who told you that?

ghostly_s··on Tell HN: OpenAI brings back 5 hour limit for plus and business standard users
Open models still need compute.
ghostly_s··on Show HN: VODForge – a free local desktop UI for YouTube video/playlist downloads
What is CTV? We don't know your industry's jargon.
ghostly_s··on Mom Gets 6-Mo Suspended Sentence for Letting 5-Year-Old Walk to the Pond
Your attempt at sarcasm really fell on its face. It is not reasonable to be categorically afraid of dogs.
ghostly_s··on Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development
Having stuff moved off the floor for your robot vacuum will make your life 4 times better?
ghostly_s··on Carmack: Has early Scratch experience led to fulfilling careers?
Is there any language designed to be robust in the face of typos? That seems like it would be a pretty big pain point for young coders. I suppose Basic is pretty good in that regard.
ghostly_s··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
> Apple's unusually timed announcement of new Mac mini and Mac Studio models this week was driven by unexpectedly strong enterprise appetite for AI hardware, according to The Information.

Obviously; no one else can justify the expense.

ghostly_s··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
> "The company reportedly did not possess an engineering team dedicated to business customers or staff focused on developer relations, and lacked an enterprise AI strategy"

This is clearly a mis-statement, they have a whole annual conference for developers. Maybe they mean specifically AI devs.

ghostly_s··on Tether: iMessage, SMS, etc. on Linux
Yes, I don't see why the author expects anything different to happen this time. I guess there's a new king on the throne.
