elintknower··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Euros should stay in Europe.

Move to SF if you want the tendies.

elintknower··on NASA freezes Starliner missions
That took long enough. Insane that the gov was entirely silent after this week's starship launch as well...

Even though I'm not an elon fan, pretending to not notice for political reasons (not to mention the insane halving of launches at Vandenberg AFB) is completely insane and damaging to our country.

elintknower··on You can run Linux on the RISC-V cores of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2's RP2350
Is there a good platform that includes wifi / bluetooth with the RP2350?
elintknower··on The radio-obsessed civilian shaping Ukraine's drone defense
fpv drone bombs are basically war crimes... wonder how much US taxpayer money this guy has hidden in his dresser lmao?
elintknower··on Twitter/X Plugin for Streamlink
You guys do realize you can pipe a livestream from X into a RTMP stream... which can then be fed into OBS...
elintknower··on Twitter/X Plugin for Streamlink
aaaaaand the link is gone
elintknower··on Scuda – Virtual GPU over IP
Curious if this could be simplified to provide NVENC over ip?
elintknower··on Starlink offering free internet access for 30 days for Hurricane Helene victims
Actually insane that the FCC opted to cancel the rural broadband contract with SpaceX for Starlink, to placate ancient telecoms who wanted to spend 4x more doing it with fiber...

Not an elon fan, but the current admin / gov in charge is run by halfwits.

elintknower··on Schools Make Millions Offering Degrees That Double as Work Visas
This should be illegal.
elintknower··on California bans legacy admissions at private universities
Great, now actually follow through and deliver on the state's promise to do away with affirmative action as well.

You should be admitted due to your brain, not race or legacy.

elintknower··on Noah Smith is too down on nuclear energy
Noah Smith has many... low iq takes on a number of societal issues that always seem to be aimed at clout chasing or rage baiting...

Nothing of value lost here. We need to accelerate development of nuclear energy!

elintknower··on Screenpipe: 24/7 local AI screen and mic recording
An intelligence agency's dream :)
elintknower··on Sitina1 Open-Source Camera
Goodness, why gitlab?
elintknower··on New titans of Wall Street: How trading firms stole a march on big banks
The continued financialization of america should never be celebrated. We used to work on fundamentals, now we just follow the fed...
elintknower··on Keep Track: 3D Satellite Toolkit
Would be awesome to see the source for this tool! Also, I've always been curious how you get applications like this to be performant at higher resolutions without using GPUs or other graphics tricks.
elintknower··on Stabilise Video Using FFmpeg
Is it possible to replicate rotoscoping stabilization effects solely using ffmpeg? I've also been looking for a method to re-create motion blur transitions too!
elintknower··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
I wonder if this is possible in devices that actually use a small asic to handle all aspects of battery control. They're even more complex than a BMS, for instance macbook batteries have had these for around 20 years [0]. They're even common in vapes and vape batteries. I have to wonder if these asics can be bypassed with malware?

Seems like the cells in these pagers were massively over-discharged and then allowed to be over charged? Potentially a capacitor used to drive the vibration motor was then used to cause the battery to catastrophically explode?

elintknower··on Deplatforming puts sex workers at risk
I'm progressive and frankly I don't see why we need to legally protect someone's ability to sell nudes on social media platforms. The level of pandering these "creators" stoop to is frankly comical at this point.

Again, I'm progressive, and there's no reason teenage boys or girls need to be bombarded with body parts every time they open instagram or any other platform.

For the same reason Twitch started limiting this kind of content, which was clearly being aimed at minors.

elintknower··on Covid-related loss of smell tied to changes in the brain
Ironically, I've never had symptomatic covid even with roomates who had both the original covid variant and more recent strains.

Other than a few weeks of feeling tired one time, I've never actually managed to test positive. This is after living in new york for the past four years.

Anyone else had this experience? The only palpable side-effect or long-lasting effect has been increased noise sensitivity, tinitus in one ear seemingly out of nowhere and now I have mild exima which never was an issue in years past.

elintknower··on Intel Discontinues High-Speed, Open-Source H.265/HEVC Encoder Project
Intel is out of money and in damage control mode.

Unfortunately, this was a great project but just like Optane memory its being shelved due to cost mitigation measures.

elintknower··on GitHub Models: A new generation of AI engineers building on GitHub
I'd store full datasets on GH if they made LFS suck less lol
elintknower··on Show HN: A video editing SDK that runs in the browser
Is this using ffmpeg wasm?
elintknower··on IRS reports collecting $1B from rich households' back taxes
Aaaaand its gone to Ukraine...
elintknower··on Move over, remote jobs. CEOs say borderless talent is the future of tech work
They'll make you return to office after forcing you to work remote, just long enough to find a foreigner to take your job oversees.

Capitalism. Check mate.

elintknower··on Ask HN: What to look for in company for patient with ADHD?
After some time, I realized I had to build better systems for myself to make my work output more consistent and build better workplace buffers for myself.

Basically, you need a system to avoid over promising and under-delivering even if it's because of your ADHD.

Another key is taking time off and sticking to it when you do.

Have you had issues maintaining employment due to culture or being pipped because of ADHD?

elintknower··on Behind Davos, Claims of a Toxic Workplace
Klaus Schwab is literally a halfwit clown, why is any of this surprising?
elintknower··on Ukraine's IT Army now aids drone strikes on Russian oil refineries
What if we just didn't start WW3 and reached a diplomatic solution?

I supported the war early on, but it's clear now that things have gone on long enough and this is nothing but NATO saber rattling.

I like how all other "war" content on HN gets tons of hate, but as long as it's ukraine / russia hating it gets a pass.

peace is the solution.

elintknower··on Alcohol is riskier than we previously knew. But what does that mean for you?
Do what you want, it's a free country. But deciding I no longer really had any interest in drinking in my late 20's is one of the best things I've done in life - even as someone who never really binge drank after a few years in college.

Socializing is better, health effects are CLEAR. Still amazes me even women I date in their mid 20s are shocked that I don't drink, but this was far more common while I was still living in New York.

elintknower··on Ask HN: HR performance management feedback tools used for backstabbing?
In general, any performance based metrics tracking tool, even something as innocent as Linear, can be used to back-stab employees.

This is a problem to fix with culture, not necessarily "better" software tools. The nature of HR is to prioritize employees that are giving more value to the bottom line even if those employees are wreaking havoc on others. Which obviously indicates how short-sighted HR tools / people always are.

If you feel strongly about this, establish clear boundaries on your team or talk to the founders (NOT HR). Growing employees is the most powerful metric long term, especially if you can trust them and they like working with you and their team.

elintknower··on Bitcoin windfall for Mt. Gox creditors after 10 year wait
Is there any way to identify if I'm a creditor with the email I registered with years ago?
