That's what happens when your project randomly blows up through a translated tweet haha

As a fellow doom-weird-places-fitter, this is art. Congratulations :)

This is actually so sad, I watched Star Trek to get out of the covid blues in lockdown and was genuinely amazed how much of it held up, RIP.

same, the only reason why I haven't switched from instinct to dots is the surface being whatsapp

better than .envs and plaintext, which was largely the case so far

I agree, this is what was under their X post -- I don't think I can change it anymore though sadly.

so... majority of HN now? Perhaps we need a hnews non-AI edition haha

I found Argon subpar with any long context work sadly, not sure how that'd turn out

it's quite useful for some of my personal usecases honestly, especially with having a sandbox and computer use -- from being on my tailnet to handle tasks on my machines with CLI and doing routine repo work on my github to ordering periodic groceries from comparing apps, managing my calendar, scheduling calls, etc, largely if there's any task that's loopable and isn't, it's a waste, I just describe what I need and how often and they just do it with me saying yes each time.

I got my dad instinct and he's maintaining websites with voice notes through whatsapp which is and insane UX comfort for him.

Another one to the "our sandboxes suck and models can just hack stuff" bench I guess

Title length restrictions but here's Karpathy agreeing on the same too - https://x.com/karpathy/status/2098811935114551617

that is actually REALLY cool, wow

I just write this way lol, hard to be "pangram 100%" when I'm getting criticized for typos in another corner

~4-5% of my monthly max usage so like ~$10

Update: We're actually fully MacOS native now! https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/hp-laser-1008a-macos

It works with Cmd + P https://x.com/kuberwastaken/status/2089961185047437729

used like $10 of tokens btw :)

UPDATE: Noted, shifted to a 100% native MacOS version now :D

Previous context I shared on X:

"Also some clarification on the "he's just using the linux driver in the VM" - not quite

This is one of the weirdest batch of printers HP made because it's a rebranded Samsung - it "comes" under HP's unified drivers system but specifically has Samsung's printer language so compatibility is extremely messy.

What this version does is take the Linux Unified Driver and extract just the relevant component, rastertospl, basically the codec that turns CUPS raster data into the Samsung SPL format the printer understands. That codec is then wired into macOS’s native CUPS stack, so printing happens through the system like a normal driver. There’s no Linux VM handling the actual print workflow and the entire process basically acting as a driver normally at system level.

In theory, yeah - rastertospl could be reimplemented from scratch. But that would be way more unreliable while turning this from a ~4-hour project into a ~4-day reverse-engineering project, when starting this, I really just wanted a working home printer and running a tiny compatibility applet in Docker just for that codec feels like a pretty reasonable compromise AND I get to not see my mac kernel crash if it messes up.

I didn't expect this to blow up this much lol, so I'll be experimenting with this further and am already in talks with the splix team to sort this specific version out"

Update: I saw a bunch of comments on the post asking how I got Claude to do this

I usually answer saying there's not really a hack for it, you just work with it, convey thoughts decently and try out things with educated guesses until it sticks with these projects.

But I actually went ahead and exported the chat in a readable format for anyone curious enough to go through :) https://cdn.kuber.studio/chat/hp-laser-1008a-driver

Thanks for sharing :)

genuinely very interesting case to learn from for me because this was one of the HP branded Samsung printers which doesn't have native non-windows support !

HAHA this is awesome, was a fun read - thanks.

Not sure if I agree with a lot of this, even while spending a lot of time building with LLM, but was interesting nonetheless.

Totally fair, I meant more in the context of coding agents - should've been specific ; I hate heavily AI-designed presentations too.

pretty much what I do, better yet ask it to boil it down in visuals in a simple webpage if it's a very large project

Thanks, I guess haha :P

removed it! The latter should not be happening anymore either hopefully

update: removed it, didn't need it and I use chrome so it didn't pop up haha

thank you, I don't though hahaha
