timnetworks··on Management Time: Who's Got the Monkey? [pdf]
Managers that can't do the work aren't managers, they're supervisors.
timnetworks··on Tell HN: Amazon has deactivated my seller account
this is the correct affect. you lose money while they win an imagined IP violation, then someone posts a copy of your item with text that avoids their system and they make money there too.
timnetworks··on When someone says they hate your product
Microsoft Teams developers, please come @ me.
timnetworks··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
I watch people search for PlatformName Login every single day because they don't know how URLs work.

Google isn't search. It's a crutch for people with too much time and money.

p.s. not google labs, not tpu's, but specifically search.

timnetworks··on Steam censors LGBTQ+ content on behalf of the Russian Government
Human rights are very expensive in russia.
timnetworks··on Microsoft Will Preload Windows 11 File Explorer to Fix Bad Performance
What happened to alternate shells? It's still possible to change the environment launch app in environmental variables, but I haven't seen a different start menu or shell since around Win7 days.

If this was possible, along with an update system that doesn't bring down even the "server" version of the OS, it would be essentially production ready.

timnetworks··on Russia has tested a new nuclear powered, nuclear-capable missile
may it explode on/in the launching pad/pod each time.
timnetworks··on Microsoft disables File Explorer preview for downloaded files by default
imho good riddance, but lots of people used it. it'd be all sorts of crazy to let local files just be local files though. new generation of devs are vaping kool aid.
timnetworks··on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous
I realize now that Gigglebet is purposely fucking up Internet for everyone, and is paying unsuspecting chumps princely sums to do so. To kill the thing they say they love.

Chrome is to Web what Teams is to Chat. Bad job guys.

timnetworks··on We need to start doing web blocking for non-technical reasons
Livigent offers a wide suite of packet filtering solutions..
timnetworks··on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous
I don't think I ever saw a legitimate warning, EVER. I push past SSL warnings EVERY DAY to manage infra.
timnetworks··on Bible and Quran apps flagged NSFW by F-Droid
unless I am misunderstanding, this would allow you to hide the app from sharing settings, so that others don't see you are e.g. reading the quran (where otherwise they may have not known) and has nothing to do with whether or not you have a job where you e.g. work.
timnetworks··on Second Chances on YouTube
I'm posting this here specifically for the audience: blocking ads is OK. Product managers offer no value add to development.
timnetworks··on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models
Jeep parts and frames and cabs are plentiful in the right circles, you can still build out a good wrangler (2.4 or 2.5 or 3L) for less money than a new car, and know your computer is planted firmly under the driver's seat and not connecting to anything.
timnetworks··on How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me
are you interested in giving a talk/presentation about this
timnetworks··on A 3D-Printed Business Card Embosser
sure, just dip it in water first
timnetworks··on No AI Content
oh okay so it's fine for a multinational conglomerate to steal flagrantly and profit at the various stages of theft they themselves enable.
timnetworks··on TikTok staff didn't know test would determine redundancy
I wonder if Irish employees were being let go for not enforcing content moderation dictated by the borg party. Ireland also goes by euro laws where employees have right to quit but employers must have fair grounds to fire.
timnetworks··on Thiings
How did you get fireship to narrate?

(more seriously, the timing on the playback does not seem to account for load time, audio may start a couple words in if not instantly loaded)

Generate something you like the style of, then run it back through a vision model and ask it to describe the image without describing the subject, append that to a batch of icon descriptions, easy custom icons. (figure out transparency at this step) Then ask it for an imagemagick script that will convert them into needed sizes and formats.

very manual yes, but gives a lot of control

[edit] the images seem to be made with a transformers model rather than diffusion (e.g. DallE3 vs MidJourney) which is mostly proprietary for now.

timnetworks··on Researchers discover evidence in the mystery of America's 'Lost Colony'
this is maybe the most accidentally insightful post I have seen on HN. Or satire so sharp it cuts in line.

Can easily be replaced with a 24GB one, drop-in upgrayyed like ram.

timnetworks··on I'm starting a social club to solve the male loneliness epidemic
