caseyf7··on Ente – Opening Our Books
What a refreshingly unique website!
caseyf7··on DeepSeek V4–almost on the frontier, a fraction of the price
It also seems like all of the models have converged on very similar images.
caseyf7··on Clockwise acquired by Salesforce
I’m only interested in this because it is the first company I’ve seen try to completely wipe itself off the face of the earth in a little over a week. You won’t even be able to access your billing history after March 27 and there will be no support available after that date.
caseyf7··on Personal Computer by Perplexity
Because it opens them up to liability. The most experienced board members will leave the board deck behind so they don’t have a copy. They sure won’t go searching for things that aren’t presented in the board meeting. It’s better for them to blame and fire the CEO.
caseyf7··on Apple's 512GB Mac Studio vanishes, a quiet acknowledgment of the RAM shortage
There will absolutely be an M5 Ultra. Gurman has confirmed it.
caseyf7··on Richard Feynman Side Hustles
This is a much better explanation. Thank you
caseyf7··on Netflix Open Content
Unfortunately iPads also don’t allow you to turn off HDR
caseyf7··on Netflix Open Content
I would like to see them give us an option to turn HDR off. In some situations it is just too bright and in others too dark.
caseyf7··on OBS Studio Gets a New Renderer
Apple should dedicate some resources to making this successful. Metal could use more wins outside of Apple itself.
caseyf7··on Rivian Autonomy and AI Day
Rivian hasn't and never will deliver the features they promised for the Launch Edition vehicles so I'm very skeptical
caseyf7··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
This is exactly the kind of failure Google is notorious for. Google has put me through their login purgatory multiple times where the only solution was to wait many days and try the same steps again until it works. I think it would be much easier to get this resolved with OpenAI than with Google.
caseyf7··on XBMC 4.0 for the Original Xbox
I fondly remember opening up my Xbox to solder a mini board to the Xbox board. Later, they figured out how to add it without the additional board.
caseyf7··on Ace Frehley Dies at 74
I don’t think Hacker News is the right place to post celebrity obituaries (see Diane Keaton earlier this week).
caseyf7··on Show HN: I built a simple ambient sound app with no ads or subscriptions
This is great. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time after giving up on Portal. Thank you
caseyf7··on Spending on AI Is at Epic Levels. Will It Ever Pay Off?
Where are you finding the best material for reading/learning?
caseyf7··on Ask HN: Are there any modern devices similar to Palm Pilot?
Not exactly what you want, but I recently discovered my old Palm Pilot IIIe still works when I put batteries in it.
caseyf7··on OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 in August
Are they losing so many customers to Anthropic, Gemini, etc that they have to pre-announce this?
caseyf7··on A $20k American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, no screen
BYD buses are operating in the US.
caseyf7··on I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days
Which model did you use with aider?
caseyf7··on Tsunami Warning for Northern California
Also confusing when the SF Fire captain is on the radio telling people to evacuate to 100 ft above sea level right after a CalTech seismologist says it is unlikely to cause much of a tsunami due to being a strike-slip earthquake.
caseyf7··on Experience the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing
This is fantastic. I really appreciate how the two audio loops take advantage of stereo and are on separate channels. Much more immersive this way.
caseyf7··on Twitter kills its San Francisco headquarters, will relocate to South Bay
When did Palo Alto become South Bay? South Bay was always much further south.
caseyf7··on Python toolkit for quantitative finance
The toolkit may be free, but the data is very expensive.
caseyf7··on Utah Locals Are Getting Cheap 10 Gbps Fiber Thanks to Local Governments
This was in reference to Silicon Valley
caseyf7··on Utah Locals Are Getting Cheap 10 Gbps Fiber Thanks to Local Governments
Sonic is reselling AT&T fiber in most situations, but they provide their own support which is nice if you need it. If the problem is with the fiber, you are still relying on AT&T.
caseyf7··on I don't think the cheapest APC Back-UPS units can be monitored except in Windows
Ecoflow switching time is listed at “<30ms” and the new Anker power stations are listed at “<20ms” so not the speed you’re looking for. APC’s tend to be listed at less than 12ms.
caseyf7··on Show HN: Open source alternative to ChatGPT and ChatPDF-like AI tools
How do you get value from chatting with documents? I can scan and read a pdf faster than I can chat with an AI about it. There must be more to it than I realize.
caseyf7··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
How did you handle missing data? I’ve used NOAA data a few times and I’m always surprised at how many days of historical data are missing. They have also stopped recording in certain locations and then start in new locations over time making it hard to get solid historical weather information.
caseyf7··on Brace for Electric-Vehicle Bailouts
If the goal is reduced emissions, I would rather have the government subsidize electrification than support the shady underworld of carbon credits.
caseyf7··on Rivian R1T is the first EV to win the longest off-road competition in the US
Rivian insurance covers off-road use.
