wantlotsofcurry··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
What an absurd take.
wantlotsofcurry··on Orchestrate teams of Claude Code sessions
I agree on all parts. I do not understand why anyone in the software industry would bend over backwards to show their work is worth less now.
wantlotsofcurry··on Radicle: The Sovereign Forge
Radicle, Tangled, etc are the future of forges!
wantlotsofcurry··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
Was this article written entirely by Claude for the most part? It definitely reads like it was.
wantlotsofcurry··on ICE's Tool to Monitor Phones in Neighborhoods
404 continues to do great work.
wantlotsofcurry··on Microsoft Copilot AI Comes to LG TVs, and Can't Be Deleted
I've had an LG tv for a couple years. I was previously able to use LG's THINQ app on my phone like a remote to operate the tv. A couple days ago I went in the app to use the remote and the feature had been totally locked behind the "access local networks & devices" permission... This permission was never needed in the past 3 years yet now it's necessary for the same functionality.

So, I disconnected the TV from the internet, uninstalled the app, and bought an Apple TV 3rd gen. LG TV quality is great but their software is unbearable.

wantlotsofcurry··on 2002: Last.fm and Audioscrobbler Herald the Social Web
I love last.fm with all my being. I recently created a ListenBrainz (same org as MusicBrainz) account which is an open source alternative that you don’t have to host yourself. I’m scrobbling to both places now just in case.

Check out tapmusic.net too to make cool diagrams out of your scrobbled music.

wantlotsofcurry··on Larry Summers resigns from OpenAI board
I had to look this up. That is absolutely insane…
wantlotsofcurry··on Proxmox virtual environment 9.1 available
I was looking to setup Proxmox for my homelab soon but this comment got me interested in Incus. Mostly because I've never heard of any Proxmox alternatives before this. You can try out Incus in your browser here: https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/try-it/

The demo does take ~10m to get into a working instance.

wantlotsofcurry··on A modern 35mm film scanner for home
Would've been an auto-buy at $500. Looks cool though I hope they have success
wantlotsofcurry··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
Absolutely. I love it.
wantlotsofcurry··on WinBoat: Windows apps on Linux with seamless integration
Are apps run through WinBoat limited to 60hz like regular Windows VMs? I’ve gotten to used to higher refresh rates and 1 window being a lower rate drives me nuts!
wantlotsofcurry··on AMD and OpenAI Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy 6 Gigawatts of AMD GPUs
This caused a 30% jump in share price...
wantlotsofcurry··on The Bluesky Dictionary
I'm very curious as to how this works in the backend. I realize it uses Bluesky's firehose to get the posts, but I'm more curious on how it's checking whether a post contains any of the available words. Any guesses?
wantlotsofcurry··on Are Diamonds Even a Luxury Anymore? De Beers Reckons with Price Plunge
Aww poor poor De Beers. I feel so bad for them!

wantlotsofcurry··on Replace OCR with Vision Language Models
I'll definitely be trying this out on my current side project!

Question: What tools/libs are people using to accurately detect square/rectangle objects in images?

I've used VNDetectRectangle [1] in Swift but it's not as accurate as I'd like it to be, even with preprocessing.

wantlotsofcurry··on Watch carved from meteorite that hit Earth a million years ago
"The prototype watch is estimated to fetch between $8,000 and $16,000 when it appears at the Time for Art auction, organized by Phillips Watches, in New York on Saturday."

$8-16 thousand does not seem that high of a price for this... Especially when compared to the prices other high end watches fetch.

Upsetting how quickly the other thread was flagged and downranked.
wantlotsofcurry··on Autogenerating a Book Series from Three Years of iMessages
Maybe they wanted it from/for the other persons perspective for some reason?

wantlotsofcurry··on How I destroyed the company's DB (a stupid SQL mistake)
I never understood why there is no way to have a `dry-run` option on SQL operations. I feel like that would save so much time and dev anxiety.
wantlotsofcurry··on Tell HN: YC company Anima Health is spamming email addresses posted to HN
I received the same email after the first time I posted to the monthly “Who wants to be hired?” thread. Gross, really.
