beebaween··on FBI, EPA, and Treasury told Citibank to freeze funds to claw back climate money
Idk why anyone who's "anti establishment" wants to rail against the gov or any reg body looking into... banks doing sketchy things with taxpayer money that should... improve the environment and tax payer's lives.

What on earth happened to ppl on HN?

beebaween··on FBI, EPA, and Treasury told Citibank to freeze funds to claw back climate money
This is a private bank hoarding government (tax payer) dollars for seemingly no reason. The money sure as heck wasn't being used for "climate action". As an environmentalist and just someone who thinks the gov shouldn't be offshoring billions of dollars I fully support gov orgs looking into this...

It's easy to let politics color the perception of this but I for one although I dislike the current president support this effort.

beebaween··on Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls
Probably black :)
beebaween··on Show HN: MLX.zig – Llama 3.2 in Zig
Is there any actual benefit from the model being implemented in Zig?
beebaween··on Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls
Can't wait to buy one of these for my homelab! I've been waiting for someone to basically make an eco-flow that's meant to be on constantly and has decent cooling that's quiet and intended to run continuously!

Insanely cool!

beebaween··on Balcony solar gains unanimous bipartisan support in Utah – pv magazine USA
My opinion here is that the biggest liability for landlords is someone mounting panels on the outside of a balcony (since obviously they cant be mounted behind bars) improperly. With the risk of them falling normally or during wind / storms.

I've done this at past apts all the time, granted with an eco-flow battery not just plugging directly into my outlets haha.

beebaween··on Ask HN: Would you reapply to a company that ghosted you?
Many times they actually have restrictions / rules for recruiters that they can't re-contact or re-ingest prior applicants even if its for a role in a different department (like eng -> product).

I'd say if they ghost you and they aren't a massive company they probably aren't professional enough to really pursue further and likely would just be a bad place to work in general.

I honestly take more offense to rejection letters that claim "we'd love to stay in touch!" or something with similar ingenue bubbly language.

beebaween··on Mayo Clinic's secret weapon against AI hallucinations: Reverse RAG in action
Curious if anyone has attempted this in an open source context? Would be incredibly interested to see an example in the wild that can point back to pages of a PDF etc!
beebaween··on Online Embedded Rust Simulator
This is one attribute of Platform IO tooling that was always insanely lacking... any real form of on-platform integration testing. Even emulation.
beebaween··on Maybe coders should learn to love analog? (2024)
I love all things analog other than my macbook.

Smart things drive me completely insane and I find peace with things that just work without a wifi connection or firmware of any kind.

beebaween··on Mistral OCR
Wonder how it does with table data in pdfs / page-long tabular data?
beebaween··on Dear Student: Yes, AI is here, you're screwed unless you take action
Jeez I wonder if nearly 70% of all tech jobs going to dubiously acquired h1b's has anything to do with it?

I VOTED FOR KAMALA AND YES I SEE THIS AS AN ISSUE

beebaween··on Show HN: Diff filtering, text mapping, and windowed transforms for LLM apps
Can this be used with gemini 2 flash while OCR'ing pdfs?
beebaween··on Abruptly Blocking Intel, the U.S. Prevents Ukraine's Himars from Maximum Effect
So far it's worked wonders for the f35 well... nuclear weapons.
beebaween··on Stagex – Container-native, full-source bootstrapped, and reproducible toolchain
Thanks! This is what I hoped you'd say - wish I had this six months ago when I was building re-produceable tooling for our factory in china to flash embedded devices with firmware.
beebaween··on Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from 36 fossil fuel firms, study shows
exactly my point
beebaween··on Stagex – Container-native, full-source bootstrapped, and reproducible toolchain
This is great, but the page still seems to struggle to explain why this is different from nix / why I should use it in the first place?
beebaween··on Leaked VA memo calls for up to 83,000 layoffs to reduce workforce to 2019 levels
very fraction of a percent counts... small things add up quickly...

Idk why this is a political issue? As a progressive I also support firing people who aren't producing effective outcomes for veterans. With all we save that money SHOULD be used to actually help veterans.

beebaween··on Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from 36 fossil fuel firms, study shows
But I should stop using my wood-stove because I'm "part of the problem" when Taylor Swift and John Kerry are flying private jets on a weekly basis... right.

Climate is an issue but this is why it's hilarious that I'm supposed to change my life to help "fix" this.

beebaween··on Why Vermont farmers are using urine on their crops
Favorite part of my morning - like food waste I compost, why would I pay to use water to send back all of my urine nutrients back to my local water municipality?
beebaween··on [dead]
For some reason the name seems to trigger people? I don't really get the hysteria.
beebaween··on [dead]
I don't really see the issue even though I politically disagree with a lot of what elon is doing - specifically regarding h1b visa policies.

It's hard work - the way you incentivize hard working people is with... money.

If they weren't being paid well, the same cohort complaining would cry nepotism because "they can only do this work because their parents are footing the bill". Which ironically, is what most capital hill staffers resort to since $30k doesn't go very far in DC.

beebaween··on Launch HN: Enhanced Radar (YC W25) – A safety net for air traffic control
IMO one of the only interesting things "block chain" tech ever produced that had real world value and potential to save lives.

Curious if OP has seen this paper / project before?

beebaween··on Youth and what happens when it's gone
The woman who I thought was "best" that I was wildly in love with a few months later cheated on me. I've never really fully recovered from the ordeal.

That said, as I've entered my 30s things seem more strategic. I want love more than ever and after re-locating to the SF Bay Area women seem more sparse than ever.

Idk if modern women in america "stick around" anymore.

beebaween··on TSMC will reportedly invest $100B to expand US chip fab buildouts
I'm glad they kept the most valuable jobs for H1B's...

Insulting to every american citizen.

beebaween··on El Salvador's wild crypto experiment ends in failure
Well yeah - they needed an IMF loan to build bigger prisons...

How the turn tables.

beebaween··on Louis Rossmann opines on the Firefox debacle [video]
> In peesonal experience, I found New Yorkers to be far friendlier than 99% of Bay Area baristas, so there's that.

VERY accurate haha (also why I'm still single)

beebaween··on Louis Rossmann opines on the Firefox debacle [video]
As a long-time Louis fan it's sad to me he basically just complains even after leaving New York City. Also, when I met Louis IRL at one of his meetups he was actually super rude.

Hopefully he finds a way to be happy.
