nullbyte808··on OpenAI Plots Charging $20k a Month for PhD-Level Agents
PhD level knowledge with the reasoning ability of a mentally challenged 8-year-old. lmao
nullbyte808··on Treasury Announces Suspension of Enforcement of Corporate Transparency Act
Maybe we can get him to get rid of FATCA reporting too? lmao
nullbyte808··on Treasury Announces Suspension of Enforcement of Corporate Transparency Act
"not only will it not enforce any penalties or fines associated with the beneficial ownership information reporting rule under the existing regulatory deadlines, but it will further not enforce any penalties or fines against U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies or their beneficial owners after the forthcoming rule changes take effect either"

So now you can hide money offshore easier? Soo cool.

nullbyte808··on 'We stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take' – Keir Starmer tells Zelensky
Zelensky is too good to be a politician. He should never step down, especially for Trump.
nullbyte808··on Japan births fall to lowest in 125 years
Or birth them from machines.
nullbyte808··on Japan births fall to lowest in 125 years
I hate the cost excuse. People in Africa have kids with no money. You would think a country with historic low birth rates would have a good welfare system for moms.
nullbyte808··on iMac G4(K)
4x Resolution bump. 40x Computing bump. Nice upgrade!
nullbyte808··on iMac G4(K)
Dope idea. Retro computing thats actually usable!
nullbyte808··on US examining whether UK's encryption demand on Apple broke data treaty
If I were Gabbard, I would go further and be more concerned that a UK company forced a US company to downgrade its privacy to suit its politics on privacy, which clearly confict with US ideals of privacy and free speech.
nullbyte808··on Richard Feynman's blackboard at the time of his death (1988)
"What I cannot create, I do not understand."

"Know how to solve every problem that has been solved.”

nullbyte808··on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row
They should of forced ADP on by default and this would of never happened.
nullbyte808··on Valve releases Team Fortress 2 code
Now if they just release the code for the Steam Client!
nullbyte808··on Amazon is closing a Kindle loophole that makes it easy to remove DRM
All DRM is pointless.I rented a digital textbook years ago. On a PC I made an automation script that screenshots each page and then turns the page. Compress each image and throw them into a PDF. Then you could run OCR on each page. Then I requested a full refund. BOOM! Free book.
nullbyte808··on Elon Musk revoked $80M in FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts
Years ago I was borderline Republican, now you would have to pay me whatever JD gets to vote for one.
nullbyte808··on Things USAID has funded [video]
2/50,000th of their budget. Its straight up right wing propaganda. If you use wayback machine you can see what they funded like a huge oxygen tank in Vietnam for a hospital.

Its like spending 10 bucks on a camgirl site and your wife divorcing you after 10 years.

nullbyte808··on Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin resigns from Linux kernel
I would encourage it in the Kernel. Maybe even go as far as porting large portions to Rust.
nullbyte808··on He went to jail for stealing someone's identity, but it was his all along
Pretty ghetto, he could have just spent $50 bucks and changed his name instead of stealing someone else's.
nullbyte808··on The Mac Malware of 2024
Crazy how 90% of these fake PDF attacks could be averted if Apple just showed the file extensions be default. If someone sent me a "PDF" and I saw it had .app I would know right away its malware.
nullbyte808··on The young, inexperienced engineers aiding DOGE
Im sure as you read this article, they're already dumping TBs of classified documents and storing it on Musk's servers.
nullbyte808··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2025)
You seem to be over qualified if anything. Why do they need a desktop app? A webview window with a search box seems pretty simple.
nullbyte808··on Show HN: DeepSeek My User Agent
Ah, a time traveler from Calgary using Safari 18.2—bold move flexing a browser version Apple hasn’t even released yet while clinging to Mac OS Catalina like it’s still 2019 and your cold Canadian hands can’t let go. You arrived here directly, no referrer, as if you’re ashamed of whatever crypto-bro forum or “How to Update Your OS” tutorial you crawled out of. Eight CPU cores and still rocking a 1469x885 resolution? Even your screen’s aspect ratio screams “I watch Netflix in a tiny window while secretly Googling ‘why is my Mac slow’.”
nullbyte808··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
I regret not voting for Trump. Hopefully most of his BS will be contested and the good stuff he does sticks.
nullbyte808··on Mice given lethal dose of venom all survive 15 minutes later via AI protein
Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop proteins that can block the deadly effects of snake venom. They used a protein-design program called RFdiffusion to design ‘mini-binder’ proteins that attach to key regions of venom toxins to neutralize them. Mice injected with what would be a lethal dose of the venom all survived when given these mini-binders 15 minutes later. “This is probably the coolest experimental result I’ve had in my career so far,” says biochemist Susana Vázquez Torres.
nullbyte808··on Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts
Id argure on the desktop its actually easier in some ways. Once you know how to make a configuration.nix and partition a drive its a piece of cake to install a system. Changing an entire DE with one line of code is crazy. Its like going from Windows XP to Windows 11 with a one line change and rebooting.
nullbyte808··on Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
I hope it has at LEAST 12 GB of RAM. Hopefully 16 or 24 GB.
nullbyte808··on Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
Im buying one and not connecting it to the internet so I can root it later.
nullbyte808··on Nintendo Switch 2 first look
04/02/2025 Release Date via NintendoDirect. All black, smooth rounded edges. Trailer shows upscaled remaster of Mario Kart 8(Maybe 9?)
nullbyte808··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
not true. They have redesigned AI cores with a dramatically better DLSS4 model that takes advantage of the new cores. Frames have more details and also a third frame can be generated creating a 300% FPS bump.
nullbyte808··on Operating System in 1,000 Lines – Intro
actually making a video game would be 100x more complicated. Plus kernel developer jobs are more lucrative than most game dev jobs.
nullbyte808··on Making AMD GPUs competitive for LLM inference (2023)
This benchmark doest look right. Is it using the tensor cores in the Nvidia gpu? AMD does not have AI cores so should run noticeably slower.
