wifipunk··on Antigravity 2.0
Been giving firstmate a try this week and have to say I'm loving it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

wifipunk··on You're not uncool. Making friends as an adult is just hard (2021)
As someone who has experienced the opposite effect I think the trick is to just finding passion in what you do and your hobbies. The more of a resource I am around my interests the easier it’s always been more me to make new friends with those same interests just by having something to talk about
wifipunk··on Hey AI come train on this song [video]
The comments on this video are hilarious

"One of Bob Dylan’s BEST rap songs from ‘96"

wifipunk··on FlockHopper
So a maps app that helps you avoid flock cameras? That's pretty neat. its actually rather comforting to know I unintentionally avoid them with the route I take to and from work even though my zip code has over 300 cameras.
wifipunk··on Antigravity 2.0
I’m curious how well the dynamic subagents work in practice compared with agents in other harnesses.

Coordination overhead and duplicated work are usually where these systems start to fall apart for me.

wifipunk··on Anthropic Is Building Its Own Chip
I recall how there were custom chips made for LLaMA for that make it super fast which is cool but am I wrong for feeling like that would slow down the release schedule of new frontier models? Couldn't tell from the article if these would be ASICs or more general purpose.
wifipunk··on WATaBoy: JIT-Ing Game Boy Instructions to WASM Beats a Native Interpreter
based on the tracked average of $12.65/gb from rampricesusa you could get about 4mb of ddr5
wifipunk··on Apple's weird anti-nausea dots cured my car sickness
Had no idea this was a thing. Have always gotten car sick anytime I'm not driving. They sold me lol
wifipunk··on SimCity 3k in 4k
Sweeet well done, especially with the audio. I like this patch method much more than the HD Patch I've been using the last few years.

We played SimCity in my shop class at school on olds macs and i like picking it back up every now and then. It still holds up better than most new games.

wifipunk··on Deno 2.8
Wasn't it announced that Anthropic is having their first profitable quarter right now in Q2? From what I've personally seen it's all driven by enterprise adoption.

Open source/foreign models are already way cheaper and will work just fine for most use cases but a lot of businesses are already pretty locked in to Claude, and with enterprise costing $240 a year at a 20 seat minimum it's a pretty big investment to make and won't be worth migrating unless the gains are significant.

wifipunk··on Show HN: Obsidian-Semantic, a CLI that lets agents search your vault by meaning
Ayy thank you. I've been running into the same issue for a bit and am pleasantly surprised with how well this works
wifipunk··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
Reminds me grok

"We’re not building Skynet, we’re cutting costs and putting the survivors on prompt duty"

Anything in that format gives that AI feel

wifipunk··on Florida judge rules red light camera tickets are unconstitutional
Almost, except parking tickets are still typically civil “owner-liability” citations tied to where the car is parked, while red-light violations are intended to target the driver’s conduct
wifipunk··on Warren Buffett dumps $1.7B of Amazon stock
Desperation and relatively high compensation.

Every friend I've ever had work for them was burnt out but stayed because they were too burnt out to look for a new job

wifipunk··on Counter-Strike: A billion-dollar game built in a dorm room
Rust was more of a brawl map than the others. Lots of 1v1 fights, but no where close to the playtime of the other two.

If we count the Nuketown map on Call of Duty mobile (mobile has over a billion downloads) I would have to say that's the winner, but if not de_dust2 is the king. Mirage would also be pretty up there.

wifipunk··on Show HN: Checkmate, an infrastructure, uptime and web page monitoring tool
The dashboard is super clean. Easy star. Look forward to more network monitoring features.
wifipunk··on Pocket LLM Server Just Like a Pocket WiFi
Any external device would need to be cheaper and/or perform better than a current gen iPhone/android device onboard. Seems like a limited market. What would the benefits be over a spec'd out mobile pc doing the same thing?
wifipunk··on Bitchat – A decentralized messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks
Without the help of LLMs, this would have been much more difficult.

It’s a good example of what someone can accomplish when they understand how to work effectively with them.

wifipunk··on Windows is getting rid of the Blue Screen of Death after 40 years
Thinking back this feels like an overdue change.

Most importantly still has the error and feels like it'll make it easier to look at.

wifipunk··on Roset – (ROS Encryption Tool) – An Encryption Tool for Both File and Text
Nice open source project.

I like the desktop UI and availability of the java api for integrating with other apps, but I'm surprised by the low # of stars.

How saturated is this space?

wifipunk··on North Korean IT workers have infiltrated the Fortune 500
The fact that them prompting an interviewee to trash talk the DPRK would make them start swearing is pretty funny
wifipunk··on Show HN: Browser MCP – Automate your browser using Cursor, Claude, VS Code
Setting this up for claude desktop and cursor was alright. Works well out of the box with little setup, and I like that it attached to my active browser tab. Keep up the good work.
wifipunk··on MLB: Yankees' new ''Torpedo Bats'' legal and likely coming to a dugout near you
Matching their franchise record for HRs in a game in only 4 innings is wild!
wifipunk··on Show HN: Stealth Interview – Undetectable Interview AI
I'd recommend listing what models your app can use somewhere on the site and if it varies by tiers.

If you're only supporting one model definitely expanding to at least a few options would be a good idea if you plan on continuing the project.

Best of luck, you've got some fierce competition in this space!

wifipunk··on Show HN: Gemini Cursor – A Multimodal AI Cursor for Your Desktop (Open Source)
This is a surprisingly useful base project for AI presentation handling where you can be hands free pointing out various details or be typing simultaneously.

Hope you keep working on the project. Different cursor settings for size, shape, and color would be nice.

wifipunk··on Ask HN: Why buy domains and 301 redirect them to me?
I used to do that too!! I wasn't malicious enough to do anything with them so I would just login to random accounts and poke around and occasionally show my friends by logging into the accounts of people we knew.
wifipunk··on Claude for Desktop
From what I can tell you're right, it's essentially a web front end made to compete with ChatGPT's desktop app.

The only real benefit is the hotkey (ctrl + alt + space) for starting a new prompt when the window is closed, but still running in the background.

wifipunk··on Introducing ChatGPT Search
Looks like they've also enabled advanced voice mode on the windows desktop app.

Does not support search for anyone wondering.
