Don’t be the jerk, man
grepfru_it··on NTSB issues investigative update on B-767 runway excursion accident in Miami
I was just stating that you don’t need automation to deploy spoilers, speedbrakes etc.
grepfru_it··on ChatGPT now knows what you do on other websites via ad collector
I made a browser extension that opens every tab to a proxy with a new ip address. I have a /25 at home that will keep my browsing more or less anonymous these days. I have another 200 ip addresses available through my colo, but a non residential address limits a lot of sites
grepfru_it··on NTSB issues investigative update on B-767 runway excursion accident in Miami
Nothing prevented the pilots from applying speedbrakes. Nothing prevented the pilots from deploying spoilers. However the pilots were busy doing other things and, this is where your comment comes in, relied on automatic systems which require weight on the wheels
grepfru_it··on 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video]
At least with LG you can revoke your consent. I came home to found STT audio recording enabled and I promptly disabled it and lectured the household about privacy.
grepfru_it··on The Ploopy A+ Trackball Is Here
My buddy had a Logitech Trackman and absolutely dominated in quake back in the day. So much so that it made me adopt a Trackman in 2001 and I consistently came in top 3 in counterstrike.

I’m sure it’s not the best ergonomic pointing device but I haven’t stopped using it and rock a Logitech ergo trackball these days.

grepfru_it··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
Bluetoothctl in Linux.

Have done exactly this 15 years ago to find my lost phone (:

Also wrote a cheap 30 line shell script to allow playing videos and music to “follow me” from one room to another with well placed raspberry pi’s, 11 years ago

grepfru_it··on Meta reuses old RAM in new servers with custom bridge chip
Kind of. You referenced flash memory. However I owned an ibm ps/2 from the 80s which had an MCA memory card which could accept SIMMs and extend system ram. So maybe the previous poster is being pedantic? No need to downvote them

Hey Bryan

A good rule of thumb is to always ask to see the cap table as an early employee. Question them when they don’t. Probably not so much with 0xide at series C, but definitely demand it at preseed and series A.

Hope all is good with you bro

Then the human that is rejected files a lawsuit.

I tried applying to Anthropic twice. Rejected. Then I see people with way less skill getting jobs there.

Network with people at the company and third time may be a charm. Maybe.

grepfru_it··on My Steam Machine Is a 50ft HDMI Cable
Xbox was overpowered at the time

Xbox 360 was rushed with gpu problems

I would say they got it all right with the Xbox one. Then the series came out and is a good example of what valve is doing with the steam machine. AAA Games will be optimized for the steam machine (and consequently for the coming shortage in memory components) with power players in custom rigs getting the full 8k, hdr 4.0, DLSS 6.5 etc

grepfru_it··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
Heh and without api docs, just copy and paste the urls from network traffic and Claude will write a library for you.
grepfru_it··on I don't think AI will make your processes go faster
I just vibe coded a socks proxy because existing ones were too thick. And let me tell you, you are absolutely right. Go libraries I’ve never heard of, new implementations that has not been tested.. I think the word for this is YOLO
grepfru_it··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
Tell me more about the tracking code

Side note: My LG Watch Sport smartwatch was able to determine what weight training workout I was performing and somehow figured the weight with astonishing accuracy.

You're welcome.

grepfru_it··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
You still need the slides to communicate risk, cost, delivery estimates etc. a great way to get your own team and move up in the org
grepfru_it··on DigitalOcean Seeks $800M in Funding
Used to have a dual atom box in NYC that had over 3000 days of uptime. The hard drive died and they messaged me saying I had the last atom box in their datacenter. They gave me a dual e5 with 64gb ram for the original price of my 2gb atom box. This is how you generate loyalty. I will never leave them.

Adapt or die
grepfru_it··on Be careful: chatting with AI about your case is discoverable
Lucky for us it can be overturned, which I highly suspect it will be. Or at least this case will define the loopholes to use
grepfru_it··on Be careful: chatting with AI about your case is discoverable
> But this ruling will surely set precedent for other cases where AI is used.

I dont remember which court. But this is typically in that jurisdiction. It can be appealed higher. SCOTUS has not ruled so it’s still up for further argument

grepfru_it··on If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos
Back in my day someone would post a HN article to the internal slack in order to sway conversation in their favor. Glad to see its still happening! :D
