You can't hack a dumb power switch (or what I assume is a giant breaker)

Empty frames are just seizure generators.

WebRTX by Nvidia?

Jesus, this is worse than AWS... had to scroll a while to see the one service was broken.
WrtCdEvrydy··on AI for AWS Documentation
> Inexperienced folks won’t know better.

I've seen answers like this in Stack Overflow before. Technically correct, but basically broken in every other way: cybersecurity's future is gonna be interesting.

WrtCdEvrydy··on San Francisco may soon get 24/7 driverless cabs. City leaders are fuming
Why not? It's the same code across all the cars... it's as if you had a clone factory making clones of driver you.
WrtCdEvrydy··on AI Is Catapulting Nvidia Toward the $1 Trillion Club
I had a meme joke about how AI would come to be by making people mine for crypto but now we're seeing LLMs take the fore-front of AI and causing us to reach for more and more parameters.

It reminds me of when the YOLOv3 model came out and every single upgrade just gave us more and more features and capabilities (the v8 has auto segmentation).

AMD dropped the ball on this, just like Intel when Ryzen dropped, I just don't see a way for them to bring it around.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Ask HN: How do you approach a problem you are not sure has a solution?
Most problems I tackle by breaking them down to the smallest possible problem and then re-build from there.

Failing fast at a smaller problem is a lot easier (which is what my last set of difficult problems ended up failing at) ... turns out applying a LUT to a camera stream on Android is a harder problem than expected if you want good performance.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Mastering Monero: The future of private transactions [pdf] (2019)
Crypto content on HN... this is either gonna go really great or the opposite of that.
WrtCdEvrydy··on The Open Buddhist University
But it has broken tests in the similarity tests.

WrtCdEvrydy··on WeWork has frittered away $46.7B in value as the stock sinks below ¢50

> Is success making lot of money for yourself.

It's all about getting the larger personal high score. Building a viable business is secondary.

WrtCdEvrydy··on It’s time to embrace slow productivity (2022)
>I spend 4 - 5 hours a day in meetings and am still expected to deliver actual code.

The problem is that meetings are considered work and there's no output from those other than long term planning that can't be measured day to day.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Logitech Partners with iFixit for Self-Repairs
> I wonder if it's illegal to knowingly buy products that will break down within a year

Nah, just luck of the draw.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Google will soon let Pixel phones double as dashcams
This has been possible with CamOnRoad for years (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camonroada...). I used an old iPhone 5S for demoing this app to some friends... just attach it and keep it powered using USB.
WrtCdEvrydy··on Case study: fake hardware cryptowallet
Probably. It seems it was designed to run with the crypto after one month. Trezor's security on the physical realm is pretty good, but this is just a good attack.
WrtCdEvrydy··on Telly Is the First TV Paid for by Brands
I bet you that second screen will be hacked by just removing like two wires :D
WrtCdEvrydy··on FDIC to hit biggest US banks with $16B bill for SVB clean-up
I mean, that's what FDIC is... it's basically backing a bank's funds using the US tax payers at the end.
WrtCdEvrydy··on Europeans drain billions from banks, fed up with shrinking savings
> where the landlord knocks on someone's door to collect rent in cash, it's rather bewildering.

This only really happens in a friendly context with family or if someone is behind on rent.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Europeans drain billions from banks, fed up with shrinking savings
> I was assuming when the crisis hit cryptocurrencies would collapse immediately.

It depends on faith in the system... if the green line stays green, why pull? same argument for any other market like the stock market or housing market.

WrtCdEvrydy··on An Update on the Lock Icon
Same thing happened to ross-tech: https://www.ross-tech.com/ Chrome adding HTTPS for whatever reason.
WrtCdEvrydy··on The “Location Off” switch on your phone is a lie
On a second note, Android will store the last Location that was valid if Location is On but there's no GPS updates.

WrtCdEvrydy··on MRSK: Deploy web apps anywhere
Caprover comes close to this. You can pack your app into a zip file and upload it with a special file or choose pre-packaged apps.

WrtCdEvrydy··on Weight loss relapse associated with exposure to perfluoroalkylate substances
> especially if you’re not in a place with strong regulations like the EU.

Why is this? America is a first world country... but why we don't have strong regulations?
