Mashimo··on Mercedes‑Benz starts large‑scale production of electric axial flux motor
With mandatory breaks you have to take while trucking in a lot of countries, is it really that far out? I would imagine you could charge while you sleep.
Mashimo··on DiffusionGemma: 4x Faster Text Generation
Maybe writing / bootstraping unit tests?

Does not need opus level to write, and easy to iterate on.

Mashimo··on Webcam head tracking, webcam to control in‑game FOV
> The way it currently works doesn't really make sense

And yet, sim players are using it. Players want to use small headmovements to simulate large head movements ingame. It seems to work.

Have you tried it or is that your theory?

Don't all headtrackers work like this? Also the infrared ones.

Mashimo··on CSS-Native Parallax Effect
Only worked for me on mobile (vivaldi android) not on vivaldi / chrome / edge on Desktop.
Mashimo··on macOS needs its grid back
KDE 4.0 has entered the chat.

Jokes aside: yes, I can see how it's technically possible to never experience a workflow change. But also using the same tools at work, your kids school, family you help etc. I just find not very probable.

The gemini from your phone?

I mean yeah, that is what it was designed to do. It's one of the better coding LLMs out there.

> I can't imagine having my workflow taken away from me

You never ever had a single software change its workflow?

Mashimo··on MCP is dead?
> Like would running `linearcli --help` then `notioncli --help` then `slackcli --help` etc, or am I missing something?

I'm not super deep into all of this, but I think except latest Claude Code release the mcp is frontloaded into the context. So if you don't need it that often you have to disable and enabled it again when needed.

And I guess you can put some usage examples into the skill file. Which might migate the first --help.

Also I guess with cli it's easy to spin up a sub agent with their own context that just returns the result?

Mashimo··on Print with dozens of colors: Our new open-source ColorMix for PrusaSlicer
Well depends on what a problem for you is. But the purging on complex models can be more plastic then the model itself needs.

And it also takes time. The difference can be a few hours vs a day of print time. Plenty of videos online that show case examples.

Mashimo··on It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12
> we shouldn’t buy disposable ewaste with a short life.

Indeed. That makes two of us.

> Uncles don’t let relatives buy less than 16gb ram. That has been my standard since ~2010 and our 2013 mbp is still running fine because I insisted on it.

Just last weekend I bought 8gb ram thinkpad t14 for an elderly relative. 240 EUR.

It replaces his thinkpad x220 where the fan and ssd slowly dies.

I doubt it becomes an issue, and if it does then I can upgrade it later.

Mashimo··on The $500K AI Film That "Premiered at Cannes" Was Not in the Official Festival
> Higgsfield, a San Francisco startup valued at $1.3 billion..

Tesla Robo Taxi, the clean up robot that break AirBnB furnature, this Ai Movie compani ..

All news from THIS week about companies that just lie to get ahead. I'm tired of move fast and break things.

Mashimo··on Show HN: Zot – Yet another coding agent harness
> I don’t want to touch TypeScript stuff with a ten foot pole

Why not? Is it because you need to change the code?

Mashimo··on The mysterious Hy3 LLM is topping OpenRouter Model Rankings by a large margin
If you Code open source projects anyway, might give it a spin.
Mashimo··on The Problem with the Ferrari Luce EV Offers a Lesson for Every Leader
Heck yes, Teenage Engineering does indeed have some beautiful design. Same as Braun.

I looked up "Xbox 720" and can't see the resemblens to the Luces inside.

The type of buttons, how you use them, how they feel, is for me part of the design. And I like what I see :)

Mashimo··on Commission fines Temu €200M for breaching the Digital Services Act
Maybe going for the money. Forbit EU banks from transferring funds to known Temu accounts.

> "CONTROL PANEL" in your link? It is still a flat screen ...

Yes, it has 9 or so physical buttons. Those are the ones I talked about in the post you are replaying to. As long as you can most needed tasks by buttons I'm fine also having a touchscreen.

Just judging my the images it seems the climate On/Off is touchscreen only. Even though you can control temperature by buttons. Could be that you can enable / disable it via other means. (Double click climate or whatever)

> none of this looks revolutionary to me.

Yeah same. But then again I have no idea what was revolutionary in car dashboards. Maybe GPS navigation?

Mashimo··on The Problem with the Ferrari Luce EV Offers a Lesson for Every Leader
Yeah, climate on/off seems to be a touchscreen button.

Hopefully you can activate it by changing the temperature. Or maybe double pressing the "climate" physical button.

Mashimo··on The Problem with the Ferrari Luce EV Offers a Lesson for Every Leader
If you want to discuss it, maybe explain it?

I like tactile knobs and switches. I can see my self enjoying using them, similar to a fidget toy. Or an earbuds case that you can close with a satisfying SNAP.

Look at the infotainment, you have the handle bar thing that you can feel and thus rest your hand vertically. But instead of just a row of flip switches, in the middle you have the depressed button and a wheel. All of this helps using it without taking your eyes of the road.

I don't have a way with words, but there is also something about the instruments cluster. Looks cool I guess. Reminds me of 80s / 90s Mercedes maybe? Shows everything without being too much.

And you have to flip it over and charge it from the underside.
Mashimo··on The Problem with the Ferrari Luce EV Offers a Lesson for Every Leader
The inside looks so freaking cool: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/ferrari-luce-design

Look at those tactile buttons and knobs. For cruise control and wipers. And the flip switches for Infotainment / climate.

The "LUNCH" mode button that you have to pull and then shows a glowing ring. Feels 90s science fiction. I wonder if I can 3D print a replica, not sure for what yet, but I want it. It's literally inspiring for me.

The outside though :(

Also I'm pretty sure the original source was linked here on HN before.
Mashimo··on Splinter Cell veteran says realistic modern lighting has screwed up stealth game
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Oblivion also had shadow based stealth.
Mashimo··on Splinter Cell veteran says realistic modern lighting has screwed up stealth game
I remember playing the demo version of Splinter Cell on my 800 mhz computer. It was laggy, but the framerate would go up when switching to thermal view :D
Mashimo··on GitHub Actions down again today
We use TeamCity for CI builds, before that Jenkins. Only accessible from the inside of the network.

Even though it's selfhosted and we don't have a dedicated infrastructure team, I don't remember it ever being down in the last 12 years I have been working here.

Mashimo··on Building Pi with Pi
The principle of not trying to offend because it's childish?

I don't like swearing, and I really try to not offend people. But telling someone not to do something with the sole reason giving it's childish I dislike strongly.

I sometimes play video games, even though some people say it's childish. Or act silly with my partner. What ever floats your goat.

If it's ok and often done for cars, why not for pet rocks and llms?

It's also used when voicing frustration, or as nick names.

"Gosh darn it, why won't you start now you rust bucket"

Mashimo··on Building Pi with Pi
Pi is a LLM agent harness similar to OpenCode, claude code CLI, OpenAI Codex.

It's a minimal TUI to "talk" to an AI. Mostly for coding. And it's build in a way where it's minimal and user can extend or write plugin without restarting.

Given the client and it being open source, they get (too) many bug reports and pull requests. So much so that every bug and PR gets auto closed, unless you are known to the developers.
