faebi··on Hop.earth – OpenStreetMap based car racing game
Hold `B`
faebi··on Hop.earth – OpenStreetMap based car racing game
I wanted a nice mountain route on start :-)
faebi··on Hop.earth – OpenStreetMap based car racing game
It's very buggy. A full reload helps. Don't press too many buttons until you land. Then press F until the car appears. only enter when it stops. That's my experience with it
faebi··on Opus 5 is currently #1 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Leaderboard
I found out it really depends on the repo I'm working on, and it's not just about being a new/old repo, there's something else which I can't really grasp yet.
faebi··on Is GitHub Copilot still relevant in the enterprise?
It's not as bad with gemeni and claude in combiniation with skills.
faebi··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
I'm doing Ruby and Gemini 3.0 pro has by far been the best model for me. It writes the nicest ruby code, like I would. Further, it either succeeds or fails hard and obviously. I prefer it failing hard instead of of slowly going weird in my code.

Similar in antigravity. Privately it's my absolute favorite.

So I'm actually rooting for this.

faebi··on iOS 27 'Rave' Update to Clean Up Code, Could Boost Battery Life
Reminds me of the "Apple has not fixed the macOS audio left/right balance bug for nearly 10 years" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39367460

or "NoTunes is a macOS application that will prevent Apple Music from launching" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40426621

There are so many annoyances allover already. Not Windows 11 level, but noticeably bad.

faebi··on 25 Years of Wikipedia
It's so much better and worse than Wikipedia at the same time.
faebi··on Tell HN: YouTube gave my username switzerland to a half government organization
It's a soft reminder of that
faebi··on Tell HN: YouTube gave my username switzerland to a half government organization
Interesting https://www.youtube.com/Switzerland is still mine, but my user handle is gone. https://www.youtube.com/@Switzerland goes to swiss tourism but they have the handle @switzerland
faebi··on iOS 26.2 lockscreen clock is slowly moving left
Today I had a good day.

> Put AirPods into my ears

> Press play

> AirPods connect from my iPhone to my Mac

> iPhone starts to play music on speaker

faebi··on iOS 26.2 lockscreen clock is slowly moving left
yes and btw, my clock is still moving ...
faebi··on Making a Small RPG
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
faebi··on Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing
I do feel like LLM's start to match certain personalities and characteristics of users which makes them unattractive to others. I assume we will need a better kind of personalization layer in the future or the ecosystems will start to drift. For example I very much feel like grok fits my thought patters by far the best.
faebi··on Ask HN: What newspaper are you paying for these days?
None. I find the quality and mostly left wing bias in the current state unacceptable. Too little neutral reporting and way too much subtle opinion making on the current thing.
faebi··on Openchargemap – electric vehicle charge map including 3D building models
Openchargemap has some awesome 3D models integrated, see Zürich for example.
faebi··on "What did you get done this week? " – Convince Elon Musk not to fire you
No, Lex blocked me :-D
faebi··on "What did you get done this week? " – Convince Elon Musk not to fire you
I want this as a humanoid robot for my personal projects
faebi··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Absolutely yes
faebi··on [dead]
I love it how the American DOGE seems to spawn many DOGE movements in other countries too. People are finding and uncovering similarly ineffective spending in a lot of places.
faebi··on Why LLMs still have problems with OCR
Shouldn't it be easy to generate a lot of OCR data? Generate HTML, randomize, generate image, apply noise and let it train on it.
faebi··on VSCode’s SSH agent is bananas
It's very much the reason vscode is successfull in my opinion. They differences between local and remote development start to disappear. This is especially useful in corporate environments, but not exclusively so. At the same time vscode keeps the input latency as low as reasonably possible. It's not the best in the world, but the most integrated. And the cherry on top is the out of the box connection loss handling. Just reconnect some when later exactly where you left it.
faebi··on Show HN: A website that heatmaps your city based on your housing preferences
I tried something similar myself but failed on wanting to load the whole world of openstreetmap onto my server and into postgres. It worked but I never managed to get sub second postgres query times on a billion rows. Hence, making it unsuable for any user.

So my question to you. What's your server and data setup? Do you even have your own data? I'm very curious on what is actually needed to make it work anywhere.

faebi··on Ingesting PDFs and why Gemini 2.0 changes everything
Did you try other vision models such as ChatGPT and Grok? I'm doing something similar but struggled to find good comparisons in between the vision models in terms OCR and document understanding.
faebi··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
I wish mining was still a thing, it was awesome to have free heating in the cold winter.
faebi··on Show HN: Map with an LLM
Are you on X? Would love to give a follow. I love OSM projects.
faebi··on Show HN: Map with an LLM
Awesome, I really like it, but you must add the "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" Trademark somewhere on the map. It's usually on the bottom right.
faebi··on How can I grow as an engineer without good seniors to learn from?
Go to a few meetups, maybe you can find some peers in your area.
faebi··on Calculating the largest known prime in Ruby
Sounds like a new possible attack vector?
faebi··on Starlink Direct to Cell
Which bandwidth can a phone reasonably expect given nobody around for kilometers? Are we talking kbits or mbits? Is there some kind of theoretical maximum?
