lp92··on Private equity is building a volleyball empire on dreams of 12-year-old girls
I doubt it. Men can just pay for better creators/entertainment on the internet oh not to mention betting.
lp92··on Humans will never again create a project quite like Wikipedia
Many Tech youtubers have like 1min+ sponsorship ads now days.
lp92··on RAM-Altman reports unused RAM on your machine, one email a day
So damn glad I got 64GB Micron E Die kits to go with my 5800X3D when Microcenter had a nice sale on both. At this rate. I probably won't be upgrading until 2030!
lp92··on Drones built to look like birds evaded detection at Air Force tech exercise
This maybe harder to detect visually, but im sure Radar/Lidar systems will be improved to counter these.
lp92··on The first 300-millimeter power silicon carbide (SiC) wafer
Nope. They don't have the tech.
lp92··on No Intel, no Qualcomm: Huawei unveils its first '100% domestic' desktop
I wonder if GN will get their hands on one for testing and benchmarking. They've done a test before of a ZhaoXin CPU based pre-built (https://youtu.be/RIgBsz1MduI?is=fMSgJer5GDu8nJcb).
lp92··on 370 Books in 20 months: South African author defends her use of AI
Seems like it should be 2 or 3 per month.
lp92··on Show HN: I built ivyNote, a local-first Markdown notes app
Most people using Markdown are probably developer that are already using a Git repo either locally or on Cloud plus already using with their AI harness. And VS Code does a good job at handling MD files.
lp92··on Custom NY plate "Blank" results in $40k of fines
Lol! Sounds like an easy solution would be to change her plate to be "B1ANK".
lp92··on Google has acquired Crusoe's data center site in southeast Wyoming
You kind of know what Google's leadership is going to do. Not so much with a start up like Crusoe.
lp92··on Anthropic IPO buyers see valuation as low as $1.1T
What are ypu working on/building that Qwen3.8 is good enough? I've tried the latest open weights models but none of them really work well for my use case (building an all in one CAD + CFD + CAM + DFM optimization). Qwen in particular has a bad habit of flipping XYZ coordinates so the STEP files exported end up being a mess.
lp92··on The $8 Linux Computer (2022)
We used to be able to buy former retired corporate mini/micro PCs running 2nd to 4th Gen i5s/i7s for a bit more than the cost of a Pi 4.
lp92··on The $8 Linux Computer (2022)
The current trend in Defense is modularity and "open" architecture.
lp92··on Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3
I tried it. Nothing local or open weights can touch Fable/Opus/Gemini for my use cases.
lp92··on Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3
Probably won't work for Anthropic because they likely want a larger assortment of users and use cases.
lp92··on Ask HN: How do you manage your AI agents' context across clients and projects?
For the application I'm working on right now, I have tons of documentation. Every feature and even bug fixes have a TDD, FDD, Implementation Plan and/or RCA document in Markdown format. And these are grouped under logical sub folders.

I also maintain a up to date master System Architect and Design document. Oh and a master index document listing every file along with a brief overview of the file.

Its very easy to give specific contexts and reference this way. The index file really helps cut down the scanning done in a cold new session.

lp92··on Ask HN: What in the world is taking Ubuntu so long?
Wait what, I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time. They have ads like Windows???
lp92··on US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028
Really going to ignore what happened between FAA and Boeing with the MAX?
lp92··on US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028
And yet with the 747MAX we saw that bureaucrats at the FAA were heavily influenced by Boeing.

>The FAAs safety risk management is built around a rigorous process, but that is also a massive slowdown to reasonable progress.

If this is the case, why was an airport knocked offline due to a cut fiber optic? A safety focused system would have a backup system say satellite or mobile 4G/5G. But they didn't have such.

This isn't about safety. Its about bureaucracy wrapped up as safety.

lp92··on Blender's UI and Runtime: Much Faster Than GPUI
Why should I consider this over say PySide6 for Python apps?
lp92··on Personal Finance in Claude
What I do is download the statements from my banks/trade platforms and then I have a custom Python script that strips out PII/account data and create a cleaned up CSV. Then use that CSV with Gemini for analytics and modeling.

This is somewhat manual but works well enough without handing over access and account details to AI.

lp92··on Hacking the T-Mobile Sidekick, 20 Years Too Late
You could potentially use it as a security camera with some modifications or turn it in to a webcam. That phone probably has a better camera than 90% of laptops and cheap security cameras.
lp92··on Hacking the T-Mobile Sidekick, 20 Years Too Late
Microsoft really messed up with their mobile OS by not treating touchscreen as the primary input and display method.
lp92··on US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028
Remember, this is the government we're talking about. That system was likely being worked on from 1980s to 1990s before itactually went in to implementation phase in 1990s.

>The FAA cited an October 13 event where a fiber optic cable connecting Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport to the FAA’s network was cut outside an airport gate, leading to the loss of data services between FAA facilities and requiring a ground stop.

Do they seriously not have a backup connection? I would have expected them to have a backup stelite or maybe even a 4G/5G mobile data system in place.

If I can use my phone as a Hotspot when Comcast is doing some service so I can work, I don't understand what idiot designed an airport without backup connections.

lp92··on 80k Hops per Second Measurement Confirm Starlink Up/Downlink Channel Pairing
That seems like cost cutting leading to coil whine. With that said, even some $1000+ GPUs have had coil whine issues.
lp92··on Nvidia RTX Spark encrypted firmware slows inference speed to 35% on Linux
For now that's the case. But the Chinese government is really pushing for their companies to use local hardware.
lp92··on Search for everyone
Man. I haven't even heard of this and there's a ton of Kahi user comments here. Something doesn't smell right...
lp92··on Goodbye from Salon
That's still a huge loss. Now imagine if the tech jobs fell by 26%. You won't be saying it "only" fell by 26%.
