hasperdi··on Ask HN: 10 months since the Llama-4 release: what happened to Meta AI?
AFAIK Zuck got mad and restructured the whole department.

What's likely is that there won't be anything open / significant coming out from them anymore

hasperdi··on LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions
Another thing... they alter the localStorage & sessionStorage prototype, by wrapping the native ones with a wrapper that prevent keys that not in their whitelist from being set.

You can try this by opening devtools and setting

  localStorage.setItem('hi', 123)
hasperdi··on I mocked the Saudi leader on YouTube then my phone was hacked, I was beaten up
Say you were the Mayor of London, and being a great mayor you have your priorities 100% correct.

Can you guarantee that something like this will never happen on your watch?

hasperdi··on The coming war on car ownership?
Speaking as a user of Openpilot / Comma device, it is exactly what the Wikipedia article described. In other words, it's a level 2 ADAS.

My point was, he had more than naive / "pedestrian level" (pun?) understanding of the problem domain as he worked on Comma.ai project for quite some time; even the device is only capable of solving maybe about 40% of the autonomous driving problem.

hasperdi··on The coming war on car ownership?
He funded Comma.ai, so he does understand the problem domain & complexity.
hasperdi··on Director Gore Verbinski: Unreal Engine is the greatest slip backwards for movie
On the other hand, it depends on what kind of movie you're making and who the target group is.

Say you're making children's videos like Cocomelon or Bluey in 3D, you don't need all these nice things.

At the end, movies are about the stories, not just pretty graphics.

hasperdi··on The Antarctic Snow Cruiser
The YouTube channel Calum made a documentary about it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zR0M7KjnJTE , Mustard did too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pW0eZRoQ86g
hasperdi··on Handy – Free open source speech-to-text app
What you said is possible by feeding the output of speech-to-text tools into an LLM. You can prompt the LLM to make sense of what you're trying to achieve and create sets of actions. With a CLI it’s trivial, you can have your verbal command translated into working shell commands. With a GUI it’s slightly more complicated because the LLM agent needs to know what you see on the screen, etc.

That CLI bit I mentioned earlier is already possible. For instance, on macOS there’s an app called MacWhisper that can send dictation output to an OpenAI‑compatible endpoint.

hasperdi··on Keychron's Nape Pro turns your keyboard into a laptop‑style trackball rig
Not exactly trackballs, but Magic Trackpad can be considered an alternative. Or roller mouse slim (crazy expensive)
hasperdi··on Keychron's Nape Pro turns your keyboard into a laptop‑style trackball rig
Nice, I want one! Assuming it works great (Keychron products usually do)
hasperdi··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
"Best" is a relative term. It depends on the purpose / criteria
hasperdi··on VW is bringing physical buttons back to the dashboard with the ID. Polo EV
Like what the sibling comment said: money. It's cheaper to produce one type of screen module and deploying that one type across car models that different kinds of switches. Also it was some kind of USP; to public perception of touch screens equal luxury during iPhone boom. Even though the software implementations were left to be desired ie. nothing was buttery smooth
hasperdi··on Vietnam bans unskippable ads
why is it a bad thing if global advertisers have to customize? If they're global, they should have the resources. Anyhow none of our concerns
hasperdi··on 2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop
At the very least they could've created some kind of translation / compatibility layer, to ease the transition
hasperdi··on Report: Microsoft kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet
Why Windows Server 2022, not 2025? Can't the latter be used as desktop OS?
hasperdi··on Clicks Communicator
looking at this https://youtu.be/u7Uz1YZ5hQA?t=309&si=LvSzi7vXmUCJ2LY3 I think they're in mocking/prototyping phase at the moment.
hasperdi··on Pebble Round 2
May the build quality and customer support be better this time around vs. last time.

I have the Titan slim, and my experience is similar to what you described. I think most of the bad experience is caused by Unihertz half competent implementation.

Phones with hardware keyboard like this requires a good keyboard companion app, which Unihertz doesn't have.

hasperdi··on Punkt. Unveils MC03 Smartphone
€700 for a locked down phone, excluding €10 / month subscription of a locked down OS. No thanks
hasperdi··on 10 years of personal finances in plain text files
In 2025 I started managing my small business finances using hledger (started with beancount, but got confused with missing packages in the new version). I use Claude Code to help me enter transactions eg from pdf receipts and to ensure the books are balanced. It's quite a pleasant experience I must say, as I find accounting tedious / not my cup of tea
hasperdi··on Linux is good now
I never used Windows 11, but with 10 they had craps like Candy crush etc that comes back after large updates.

They don't have annoying bundleware with Windows 11?

hasperdi··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
thanks, I'll keep that in mind
hasperdi··on HSBC blocks its app due to F-Droid-installed Bitwarden
It will not work either if you have developer mode enabled.

These things HSBC app does, I think it's overreaching

hasperdi··on Incremental Backups of Gmail Takeouts
I just setup Gmail backup the other day. Using getmail + cron. The emails get stored as maildir (1 mail = 1 file). It's incremental backup friendly
hasperdi··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
The problem with this approach, is that the model may forget to update the log... It usually happens when the context window >50% filled
hasperdi··on Ask HN: Resources to get better at outbound sales?
Not OP, but I do have a question. How did you do lead generation? What works?
hasperdi··on CEO of health care software company sentenced for $1B fraud conspiracy
Slavery as punishment is actually allowed by the constitution...

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

hasperdi··on GLM-4.7: Advancing the Coding Capability
IIRC I did and failed but I didn't investigate further.
hasperdi··on GLM-4.7: Advancing the Coding Capability
You are right, consumer grade hardware is mostly too slow... although it's a relative thing right. For instance you can get Mac Studio Mx Ultra with 512GB RAM, run GLM-4.5-Air and have a bit of patience. It could work
hasperdi··on GLM-4.7: Advancing the Coding Capability
I did, it works well... although it is not good enough for agentic coding
