ozfive··on Astronomers detect almost 100 new extremely metal-poor galaxies
Wait. That's an interesting statement. "Had" is the keyword which implies dual realities.
ozfive··on Astronomers detect almost 100 new extremely metal-poor galaxies
Being able to identify both is a feat.
ozfive··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
Yes, because... Physics and you know, Math.
ozfive··on Iowa teen grew 7k pounds of veggies, then gave them all away
I was going to grow a bunch of hydroponic greens (spinach, lettuces) and donate them to the local food bank in the Seattle area. It would have been 284 plants at a time. I talked to them about it and they said they couldn't take it because they couldn't store it. I was like, it's hydroponic and I can just cut it on the days you distribute and that would work. They still refused and only wanted to give out dry and canned food. I was disgusted.
ozfive··on Soccer video analysis from your match videos
Good luck my friend!
ozfive··on Soccer video analysis from your match videos
Wow! This is cool! Have you seen the video where they use OpenAI to analyze and give commentary on live soccer games by sending screenshots of the game to OpenAI vision API and text to speech API?

If you have kids or grandkids or even a school nearby why not convert it into a space shuttle control board for them with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. It would be more useful and inspiring for them.
ozfive··on NASA can't open its asteroid capsule
Isn't this called cold welding in space?
ozfive··on Alliance of 40 countries to vow not to pay ransom to cybercriminals, US says
Shall we get into the great vowel shift of 1450?
ozfive··on Can you use your "free will"? Try your hand
Yeah, check out the book "Bursts" https://barabasi.com/book/bursts
ozfive··on Atlas of Surveillance: Documenting police tech in our communities
What assumptions do you believe I am making about the purpose and effectiveness of at least some of the relevant technology?
ozfive··on Atlas of Surveillance: Documenting police tech in our communities
It doesn't make assumptions at all. You assume I haven't been around criminals in my lifetime. You also assume criminals aren't intelligent, and that my opinion is an assumption. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but criminals are opportunists and they are intelligent and if they are given an opportunity to assess security they certainly will. My opinion isn't an assumption it's from experience.
ozfive··on Atlas of Surveillance: Documenting police tech in our communities
This can and will be used by criminals to target communities that have less tech or tech that is exploitable/circumventable. Yes I am aware that security through obscurity is not the answer.
ozfive··on Nature: Programming language to experience the joy of programming
You are absolutely correct, while reading through it I was becoming increasingly concerned that whomever wrote the description was the language writer themselves. I expect a level of attention to detail from someone who is writing their own language.
ozfive··on Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone
Welcome to the enshitification of everything.
ozfive··on Show HN: Wild Moose – Autonomous agent for production debugging
Clicking links in your (wildmoose.ai) stack menu on the site doesn't close the menu on Android Chrome. The link location loads underneath though. Just a friendly heads up.
ozfive··on Show HN: A example of running P2P network in browser (WASM+WebRTC+Chord DHT)
The fork me on GitHub button is too close to the create new node button on mobile.
ozfive··on FBI warns “phantom” hacker scams are emptying financial accounts
This could easily be solved if everyone called the police when they found a lost child and let them sort it out. Also any doctor could have "break through" access along with the hospital they are at has it as well.
ozfive··on Microsoft executive says Google deals kept Bing small
Riiight...
ozfive··on Show HN: My Single-File Python Script I Used to Replace Splunk in My Startup
Hell hath no fury like any dev annoyed by something they could build themselves...
ozfive··on Update on KDP Title Creation Limits
Some people value their time, energy, and money more. I can appreciate that you do not as we all have choices but I imagine that most people would disagree.
ozfive··on Tell HN: JPMorgan Chase forcing arbitration agreement to log in
Also is a simple one or zero in a database column which is accessible by employees, truly being able to prove your customer accepted your terms?
ozfive··on Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage
It does not. Consider using services like Amazon Kinesis Firehose, which can buffer and batch logs, then periodically write them to S3.
ozfive··on Injured person reportedly dies after Cruise cars block first responders
Username checks out.
ozfive··on Tech's broken promises: Streaming = confusing Ubers as much as taxis Cloud costs
Paying the same amount as cable to not have ads seems as though it's still better than cable...
ozfive··on Russia claims US preparing for 'new pandemic' by searching for virus mutations
All the while Russia commits war crimes and atrocities against Ukraine.
ozfive··on Want to pwn a satellite? Turns out it's surprisingly easy
Thank you for all of the great information!
ozfive··on Climate Change Turned Lush Hawaii into a Tinderbox
Edward O. Wilson's book called "The Diversity Of Life" touches on the invasive species of the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend it.
ozfive··on Want to pwn a satellite? Turns out it's surprisingly easy
As someone who has worked on private in-flight entertainment systems I haven't heard of the story you mentioned about the GPS coordinates but I can confirm that controlling the plane would take a lot more than just getting on the RS-232 or RS-485 read-only busses the FMS sends data on.
ozfive··on Ask HN: What's the coolest physical thing you've made?
I've been working on a RFID based music and story player for my daughter in spare time. https://www.github.com/ozfive/StoryBox

The other physical thing I built was a IR remote with a raspberry pi zero w for my Cambridge Audio CXA81 amp. I just recently put together and Android app with a couple buttons to interface to the API I wrote. https://github.com/ozfive/CXA81-IR-Remote-Server.

Both projects are mostly written in Go.

Don't get me started on the 2.5 years that I worked on custom AVOD systems for private jets and helicopters. I probably was the first person to integrate an Amazon Echo into a aircraft cabin to control the lighting/audio/video through voice over a satellite connection.
