turbine401··on I wish tech companies knew more about me
I gave up on them for psytrance. Used to be paying subscriber for many years, but their catalog never really got updated. Got tired of hearing the same tracks over and over.
turbine401··on Show HN: Esp32sim – Run ESP32 firmware in the browser
How is this different from Wokwi.com? They’ve been doing for years, and have a large number of microcontrollers emulated.
turbine401··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
In the Anthropic console you can set limits, for how much you want to be able to spend outside your regular subscription allowance.

96gb macbook is crazy lol. Good luck!

turbine401··on I'm Getting into Mesh Networks (Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum)
Have you tried MeshCore? It seems there's a lot more people on it (at least here in Europe).
turbine401··on Show HN: Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep
I've tried all sorts of tricks with Copilot CLI to get it to use LSP; project instructions, file extension instructions, but it just keeps forgetting. And says "yea you're right I should have used it" but then doesn't.
turbine401··on Audio Reactive LED Strips Are Diabolically Hard
Check out the MoonModules fork/variant of WLED too, it has much better audio reactive user mods and visualisation options https://mm.kno.wled.ge/ than the main project.

And yea, I agree with the article. In my past I've also dabbled in audioreactive for LEDs and it's fiendishly difficult to make anything interesting.

Make it react too much, and it's chaos, and inversely when the algorithm reacts less the audio, it's boring.

And in all cases it's really not easy to see what the leds are doing in correspondence to all the complexity of music.
