DarthNebo··on Running Stable Diffusion on Your GPU with Less Than 10Gb of VRAM
Always wondered why we can't virtualize VRAM like how we did for VMs.
DarthNebo··on DeepCamera: Local inference engine, Home Assistant intrusion detection AI camera
Anybody interested in software for cloud+local(spare android phone/computer) video storage for their WiFi cameras?

If you're in the same boat as me & don't want to pay high premium for a basic VM w/ storage that can just record the RTSP stream while also storing the same locally in case of network failure etc, then do ping me & I can get to work on it!

Another gripe of mine is that most of them nowadays need you to use their mobile app instead of any browser on the same network for setting it up.....smh

DarthNebo··on USB-C naming to somehow get worse with USB4 Version 2.0
They should stop backward compatibility beyond a certain point. Just converge at USB 5. Any updates should be directly to 6 or whatever.
DarthNebo··on Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?
Unless you are fine with paying again for a windows license & sub 10hr battery life, I'd recommend any of the Zephyrus lineup with Ryzen & Nvidia gpu if your workflow can make use of CUDA or else AMD GPU for cheaper & decent battery life, performance/$ as well.
DarthNebo··on Tell HN: Google Cloud suspended our production projects at 1am on Saturday
Try reaching out to their Developer Advocates on twitter & then maybe with any luck a 'person' can look into this.
DarthNebo··on TikTok’s in-app browser could be keylogging, privacy analysis warns
So does Instagram
DarthNebo··on Uses for an old Android device
My idea was to simply have the phone screen off, one always running app tapping into the RTSP stream on WiFi then offload it every few minutes. Could have a smart power supply hooked up to drain the battery to low digits every now & then. Smart batteries with programmable functions & voltages would have been a boon for so many legacy electronics
DarthNebo··on Instagram can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser
This is nuts, injecting code without website consent, pretty much like shady-ISP behaviour!
DarthNebo··on Uses for an old Android device
Want to use mine as a CCTV footage dump whenever online & offload to S3 otherwise
DarthNebo··on Sun, Earth and Moon Position – 3D Simulator
I've always wanted a universal compass/visualizer, just to know where & how in the milky-way are we oriented & hurtling towards
DarthNebo··on Homebrew Bluetooth Headphones
Yeah, I've seen a few TP4056 charging boards with Type-C as well. Will try retro-fitting them into my Crusher Wireless.
DarthNebo··on Homebrew Bluetooth Headphones
And keeps a perfectly functioning device out of the landfill!
DarthNebo··on Homebrew Bluetooth Headphones
I don't mind them as long as the weight is balanced out with clamping force or higher up the band. There's even smaller sized cells which go into electric toothbrushes as well. The point is to have cells that can be sourced easily & replaced without much fuss which these LiPo packs do not enable.
DarthNebo··on Homebrew Bluetooth Headphones
I just wanted to be able to use 18650 cells in my headphones & never worry about battery life.
DarthNebo··on I don’t have notifications enabled, nowhere and never
Not a single website is enabled for notification apart from IM like whatsapp/telegram. Only if it is needed for work but for random ones/ecommerce never
DarthNebo··on Spain will introduce free train travel
Wonder by when we will have global electric railway lines for passengers & containers
DarthNebo··on Ask HN: Is it still conceivable to remain an anonymous developer nowadays?
Not limited by LLC, registering a company anywhere can ensure it to an extent
DarthNebo··on Show HN: Computer Vision Models for Developers
Hi Anubhav, are all modules built by your team? Since if it were based on already available models/repos, then I can't find licenses/attr for the same.
DarthNebo··on Rejecting data demands, ExpressVPN removes VPN servers in India
Wonder whether the government of India makes any demarcation between corporate VPN or personal VPNs? Or is it just consumer VPN services that need to comply.

Everything from cloud vendors, ZScaler, Cisco AnyConnect are technically offering access to private networks with a mix of public internet &/or intranet

DarthNebo··on Arc Browser Company: Chrome and Safari face a new challenger
Anyone remember Refresh concept from a while back, https://phase.com/magazine/refresh-rethinking-the-browser/
DarthNebo··on 100-year-old Brazilian breaks record after 84 years at same company
Never
DarthNebo··on Y Combinator Company Terminates Whistleblower for Raising Voice
What exactly did Bikayi do? Nothing much to go about in that post either.
DarthNebo··on Snapchat’s product is booming
Literally zero cross platform visibility, mostly just Twitter, IG, Reddit, HN & YouTube.
DarthNebo··on Ask HN: What is the best streaming device for a Lineage OS user?
There's nothing limiting Lineage OS if you have requisite apps installed. Chromecast would be the best though.
DarthNebo··on You probably don’t need AWS and are better off without it
GCP's Cloud Run is a better & cheaper alternative to Lambda though
DarthNebo··on Ask HN: MacBooks seems to be the only viable option these days
For me it is the build quality, obscene 18hrs+ battery(+standby) life & unplugged performance which is the same as plugged in.
DarthNebo··on NFT collector gets $280 top bid for Jack Dorsey NFT he bought at $2.9m last year
Stale bid, currently around $6K
DarthNebo··on Show HN: Razer x Lambda Tensorbook
Thunderbolt eGPU device with Mac & PC ML lib support would be something that is of interest to me, upgrading just one component would be better than entire devices every 3-5 years.
DarthNebo··on Employees are returning to the office to sit on zoom calls
This was literally what used to happen pre-pandemic as well with international teams. The pandemic just made people realize how weird it was for work to be associated with a place.
DarthNebo··on Turn your phone into a space monitoring tool
Oh nice, will try it out with a clean camera feed probably from some WebRTC sample page.
