euazOn··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia
Not true, not being in a hurry hurt one of the operations. "Russians climbed onto a truck in an attempt to prevent the takeoff of FPV drones and the attack on the airbase". https://nitter.net/bayraktar_1love/status/192916791054458931...
euazOn··on YOLO-World: Real-Time Open-Vocabulary Object Detection
Just as a quick demo, here is an example of YOLO-World combined with EfficientSAM: https://youtu.be/X7gKBGVz4vs?t=980
euazOn··on Show HN: A minimalist web timer for focus and time tracking
don’t autoplay sound please.
euazOn··on Don't guess my language
Yes, that’s confusing and probably hard to find a good balance. Someone speaking Greek or Czech may expect to find their language around E (Ελληνικά) or C (Čeština), but nope, on Wiki it’s all the way after Z.
euazOn··on Trust Me, I'm Local: Chrome Extensions, MCP, and the Sandbox Escape
Hey, thanks for that, Anon Kode, Anon Codex and other projects, very cool!
euazOn··on Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons about task feasibility
Check out Aider [0] or Anon Kode [1] (clone of Claude Code). New models are why I try to build all my tools and infra to be model-independent. On that note, I also prefer to be provider-independent, using OpenRouter [2] or T3 Chat [3] and the like.

euazOn··on I'm a Therapist, and I'm Replaceable. But So Are You
>What happens to therapy when we take the friction out of it? The same question could be applied to all our relationships. As AI companions become our default source of emotional support—not just as therapists, but also as friends and romantic partners—we risk growing increasingly intolerant of the challenges that come with human connection. After all, why wrestle with a friend’s limited availability when an AI is always there? Why navigate a partner’s criticism when an AI has been trained to offer perfect validation?

This tendency towards maximum comfort reminds me of many things, e.g., food delivery apps: they provide a near-seamless experience, at the loss of small encounters with humans that may be really important for a happy life.

euazOn··on Emergent Misalignment

euazOn··on Ukraine agrees minerals deal with US
My impression was that one of Russia's main aims in Ukraine were precisely these minerals, oil, and gas resources in the eastern part of Ukraine. Doesn't this make the US in many ways the same as Russia?

Also, I'm certain this will be spun into very effective pro-Russian propaganda.

euazOn··on My $2.2k laptop can't drive two screens
The workaround that works very well for me: use DisplayLink. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38149233
euazOn··on Tell HN: Reddit now blocks VPN access via browser, 'old' subdomain included
I dont always necessarily need or want the latest info. I find Reddit to be a good aggregator/filter that also acts as one of the walls against disinfo, i.e. some of the content never gets posted, or gets immediately debunked.

/r/credibledefense is my go-to

euazOn··on Running OCR against PDFs and images directly in the browser
In case you wanted to add a pre-processing step, I found this ImageMagick script useful: https://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/textcleaner/index.ph...

Not sure how difficult it is to run it in the browser, though.

euazOn··on Stability.ai – Introducing Stable Video 3D
Therefore, what is the main usecase of this model? Generating cheap 3D assets for videogames?
euazOn··on The Good Soldier Švejk (2018)
The Hácha story may be a bit more complicated that it may seem at first. Not sure whether you're a Czech speaker, if so, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBPXsaTgHGQ
euazOn··on Show HN: RE3 – Reversed Engineered GTA3 Source Code
Im curious, since it seems to be mostly about walking back the one-way-street of C++ to assembly, what’s stopping us from training a ML model to help with decompilation by figuring out patterns in the compilation process? (there has to be a reason, otherwise someone would have done it already)
euazOn··on Show HN: AI dub tool I made to watch foreign language videos with my 7-year-old
I also noticed that the third sample with Chinese sounds slightly sped up in the first English segment, so there may be also an element of postprocessing the dub (speeding it up/slowing it down).
euazOn··on Stable Cascade
That looks very impressive unless the demo is cherrypicked, would be great if this could be implemented into a frontend like Fooocus https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus
euazOn··on Bard is now Gemini, and we’re rolling out a mobile app and Gemini Advanced
Which is it? Andorra?
euazOn··on Why I Like Obsidian
Long-term heavy Workflowy and later Dynalist user here. I am not upset that the developers started working on Obsidian instead, since I see Obsidian as the superior product, which has replaced both Workflowy and Dynalist for me.
euazOn··on Ask HN: Does airport fingerprinting compromise my biometric security?
Thanks. My question was aimed more towards both caring about security and using a stock MIUI ROM, which seem to contradict each other.
euazOn··on Ask HN: Does airport fingerprinting compromise my biometric security?
What ROM are you using on your Xiaomi?
euazOn··on An In-depth Look at Gemini's Language Abilities
Gemini Ultra is not out yet. With the same logic, you could compare an unreleased Mistral model with Gemini Ultra.
euazOn··on Mtn Dew Raid Q&A [pdf]
Yes. Related to the difference between “available” and “easily accessible” - a lot of information about e.g. politicians may be freely available, but it usually doesn’t make a difference unless a journalist makes it easily accessible.
euazOn··on OpenAI Committed to Buying $51M of AI Chips from a Startup Backed by Sam Altman
Source?
euazOn··on It's Still Funny That 1k People Gave Tesla $250k for a Roadster Six Years Ago
You may want to rethink your comment.
euazOn··on A secret deal let Spotify bypass Android's app store fees
> It is pretty hard to argue against that.

The European Union's Digital Markets Act finds that pretty easy.

Any plans to do this for Firefox?
euazOn··on M3 Macs: there's more to performance than counting cores
Glad to help! It's really good, especially considering how dirt cheap the M1 Macbook can be these days. It's what I recommend to most people around me shopping for a laptop.
euazOn··on Infinite Context LLMs: Going Beyond RAG with Extended Minds
On the note of youtube channels, I can wholeheartedly recommend Prompt Engineering [1]. He has great videos and hands-on tutorials, not just about RAG, and also maintains the LocalGPT repo [2] with 17k stars.
