TT-392··on Artist finds private medical record photos in popular AI training data set
Did I miss something while reading this. If the dataset is just a bunch of urls, then surely you can find out who is hosting the image and go after them?
TT-392··on We Need New Motherboards Before GPUs Collapse Under Their Own Gravity
I think a start would be providing an extra screw hole in a standardized place, so that case manifacturers can design for this, instead of putting the card between 2 plastic clamps. A problem here would be length differences in cards though. But I think that it being in the middle of most long cards, and at the end of the smallest card isn't the craziest idea.
TT-392··on Japan to reopen to independent travelers and lift daily arrival cap
If you get to hiroshima, visit okinomimura.
TT-392··on The Strid: The ‘deadliest stretch of water’
I kinda doubt you'd get any useful control with those currents. Might as well just drop a camera in there on a rope or a stick (which has already been done).
TT-392··on Why do all these 20-somethings have closed captions turned on?
Anyone else here super annoyed by the closed captions rendering on netflix. They basically don't have a usable font / color choice, and the captions are randomly ahead or behind the audio all the time. I have a netflix account, but I just don't bother watching foreign subtitled content on it anymore.

Of course my solution is pirating content I already pay for.

They said they are planning to keep some stock for those purposes

I am watching the GN video right now. And, while talking to him, they mentioned to him that they aren't planning on producing intel or amd cards
TT-392··on Li-ion battery warehouse fire put out with Portland cement (2021)
Bought one of these a while ago, super happy with the peace of mind these things provide. (I am using it mostly for drone batteries). I hope I'll never have to find out how well it actually works first hand though.
TT-392··on Apple Removes SIM Card Tray on All iPhone 14 Models in U.S.
I don't live in the US, and I don't care about good service.
TT-392··on Apple Removes SIM Card Tray on All iPhone 14 Models in U.S.
That would actually be great if it works like that (I haven't had the chance to use esims at all yet)
TT-392··on Apple Removes SIM Card Tray on All iPhone 14 Models in U.S.
Yes, I do know that is a hardware thing, but I am pretty sure you already connect to more than 2 towers at the same time, even with a single sim. As for, what is the point of more than 2 at the same time. There are already plenty of people who use 2 sims to, for example, separate work and personal life, or personal stuff, and stuff like microsofts stupid 2 factor. Also, when traveling, it would be great to be able to add more sims, without disconnecting your previous sims, which may be connected to subscriptions which you might want to keep running, though, to be honest, I don't know much about how stuff like that works with esims. Even if you could only have 1 or 2 active at the same time, lots of esims you can switch on or off would be great. Also, having a bunch of burner prepaid sims which you can turn on and off is really nice.
TT-392··on Apple Removes SIM Card Tray on All iPhone 14 Models in U.S.
Like seriously, this is how the world will be now, limited to 2 virtual sims for no good reason, because apple did it
TT-392··on Apple Removes SIM Card Tray on All iPhone 14 Models in U.S.
>dual esim why why why why why why why is this a thing. Pleeeaaaase, why why why limit it to 2. I'm sure there is no unovercomable reason to just make that like 20

TT-392··on Float Toy
Then I found out about weird poorly defined NaNs, which were kinda annoying, but fun nonetheless.
TT-392··on Float Toy
I had to implement floats and doubles a bit ago. Was a fun bit of puzzling to figure that out as a small break from other work.
TT-392··on The Big Bang didn't happen: What do the James Webb images show?
Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. We used to think mars had civilization and canals until not too long ago (kinda funny that the drawings of those canals ended up looking a lot like the veins in a human eye). Also, the idea of radio waves going through the ether, on which a lot of science was based got disproved at some point.
TT-392··on Tell HN: After 10 years of experiments, custom username emails receive no spam
You should try signing up for a few chinese pcb manifacturers, your email will end up all over the place.
TT-392··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
Right, the mouse is a concern for most people as well, I never really considered that part since with my i3wm + vim setup, I basically never touch the mouse anyways.
TT-392··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
That is nice, as for a license, I think half of the program is someone else's keylogger code I found somewhere online, so putting my own license on there seems shitty. But I put a line in the README that anyone can steal the idea of the concept of the program, if someone is gonna do that, they are gonna want to rewrite everything anyways.
TT-392··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
Probably won't be of any use, but here is the code: https://github.com/TT-392/keyAlarm/tree/master
TT-392··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
I mean sure, but I wasn't exaggerating when I said it is probably not usable on other peoples computers. It only works on linux, it doesn't work on wayland, and because I am using xinput to disable the keyboard, you will have to replace the device name in blockKeyboard.py: https://github.com/TT-392/keyAlarm/tree/master

It shouldn't be too difficult to write your own though, so, if anyone wants to do so, feel free to steal the idea.

TT-392··on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?
I was having problems with my hands from muscle exhaustion due to typing. My doctor recommended I should use an alarm clock, to remind me to not type for more than a few minutes at a time. Instead, I thought, I could do better. So I made the following program:

It is a program that has a countdown, lets say, 100 key presses, and every time you press a key, it goes down by one, and every, lets say second, it recovers 1 key. When it reached like 20 keys, I got a notification, and when it reached 0, I got a typing timeout (I disabled my keyboard). This forced me to, type more efficiently, to use more efficient shortcuts and to think about code before I wrote it more. In the end, this actually helped a lot for my hands, and I was still able to work on stuff.

I ended up never releasing it, because I was too lazy to put in the work to get it to a usable state for other people on other computers.

TT-392··on John Carmack: Best Programming Setup and IDE – Lex Fridman Podcast Clips
I can't be the only one who likes the commandline gdb experience right?
TT-392··on I wish I could organize my thoughts
I would love to see something similar to this, but with math. Something like those flowcharts, drawing on a drawing tablet, and snapping to a grid or something like that. Automatically recognizing square root, division, and othet math symbols. Maybe even some character recognition for drawing the numbers (though text boxes would be nice too).

Math always just seemed like one of those things that should be doable on a computer, but you just can't really do it efficiently without being able to draw numbers, lines, and other stuff all over the place, like you can on paper.

TT-392··on The tooling ecosystem that adds joy to KiCad
A lot of small things, for example editing multiple parts at the same time (select multiple parts, E, change, lets say the value of multiple resistors, enter). Or how the power ports are horrible to use (you have to create a new symbol for each new net (these should really just be some sort of global label, with a power icon). Or a better, iso standard footprint generator. Being able to have multiple sheets open at the same time. Just small things like that. As for the UI, actually, just steal the blender UI concept, that modular window concept is great, though, if you define "user friendly" as, "The user immediately knows what to do when they open the program" idk what would help with that, it seems pretty on par with other pcb design tools in that aspect.

That is great and all, but I am an EE student, and last time I looked for an internship, there are a grand total of zero actual serious EE companies that use kicad. It is pretty much all Altium rn (and god I hate using altium). So ye, what I mean by being taken seriously by companies, I am talking about more than one or two companies.
