nullbyte808··on [dead]
Since when is pissing off college kids and being an asshole worthy of a medal? When you have Trump as president.
nullbyte808··on [dead]
Pretty crap excuse to fire someone over.
nullbyte808··on ChatGPT Developer Mode: Full MCP client access
I think the dangers are over stated. If you give it access to non-privileged data, use BTRFS snapshots and ban certain commands at the shell level, then no worries.
nullbyte808··on Apple expects to notify 100M people that they have hypertension in a year
About as useful as the annoying high volume notifications. No substitute to professional equipment and a doctors visit.
nullbyte808··on iPhone Air
Umm most people buy them for the hardware. On paper my 16e sounds really good but is crap compared to the 17 pros cameras plus photonic engine. Apple gimps software in non pros. I don't take alot of pics so I don't really care for the pro. Id rather get an old DSLR.

Better to have a limited data plan like Roamless(data doesn't expire) and stock up on epubs. Then when your away from wifi all you can do is read books.
nullbyte808··on For all that's holy, can you just leverage the web, please?
I was thinking the samething about subway. Ideally everyone would just order a sandwich online and by the time they arrive its ready to go. You scan a QR code(or enter a code) and your sandwhich pops out of hole. Having the option to make or in front of you slows down production and is awkward talking over fans and such.

GrapheneOS.

I nominate you for a Woke Grammy. Congrats!
nullbyte808··on Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds
Another dumb move by Nintendont. UFS has been around since 2010 and is much faster.
nullbyte808··on iPhone DevOps (2023)
iShell with SSH is the best free app. I tried it with a keyboard and got a true fullscreen terminal. I could run btop even.
nullbyte808··on How to Phish a Crypto Scammer
I feel like these scammers were extra cautious and not that greedy. I could tell they were reading a script of the first guy with the UK accent could've been the head of operation. That would've been extremely challenging to fish him.
nullbyte808··on How to Phish a Crypto Scammer
Nice! I was curious how their operation worked. I think they were going to email me a fake link to a Coinbase login. I'm wondering how they spoofed the emails and made them appear like they were coming from legitimate domains. One was a German hotel the other was a Japanese utility company. I was surprised at the level of security they had.
nullbyte808··on How to Phish a Crypto Scammer
My failed attempt. They do verification and I failed twice.
nullbyte808··on I'm Archiving Picocrypt
I forked it and named it NanoCrypt. Time to rip out the GUI code. muha ha ha!
nullbyte808··on Luanti Turns 14
An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.
nullbyte808··on 15 Years of Building Jefit
Congrats! Weird how you lost half your customers during COVID when sales of home treadmills were exploding.
nullbyte808··on Microsoft Office is using an artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool
Yeah but those are open standards, where as Microsoft is the only one with true knowledge of its XML.
nullbyte808··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Don't put yourself at risk of going to a detention camp and stick with doing it in Canada.

Anyone want to trade citizenships? I'm US looking for European or other citizenship. I'm not using mine productively anyway.
nullbyte808··on Claude's system prompt is over 24k tokens with tools
I wonder if It could really think if it would be disappointed that Trump won. He was the most illogical and harmfull canidate according to 99% of media.
nullbyte808··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
What type of rules? Like no feeding the Kangaroos? Those things look like freddy kruger.
nullbyte808··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
When I read things like this it makes Australia look like a penal colony.
nullbyte808··on Which year: guess which year each photo was taken
I have a tendency to date films and photos by their quality. Thats why I was 16 years off on the 1934 one. I got the first one exactly right, even though Im born in 1990.Some B&W cameras 80 years ago took better pictures than most cameras today.
nullbyte808··on SteamNix OS
Looking for Testers and Feedback!
nullbyte808··on LLM Benchmark for 'Longform Creative Writing'
"Crypto’s dead," Jay muttered. "Sneakers are forever."

Dang deepseek is actually pretty good. Compared to Gemini's version that sounded like a Schizophrenic on LSD.

nullbyte808··on Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28
I have mine set to muted. Using LLMs will drastically improve Alexa. It's near brain-dead with that puny CPU in it.
nullbyte808··on The Billionaire Boycott Conundrum
I tried deleting all of Amazon accounts but couldn't becasue I have 88 cents stuck in a seller account. Im glad I kept it. For one, Bezos is not as bad as Elon. Elon is incredibly socially retarded. Two, Bezos is retired from Amazon and just owns its stock. I think Bezos is good at heart, just very apathetic and neutral.
nullbyte808··on Happy 20th birthday, Y Combinator
Why did they post on X? Most of the people on there probably think HN is a Soros front. Also, why does it say twitter.com and not x.com? Would have been better just to post a link from their blog.
