felooboolooombaon Conway's Game of Life in real life

There's probably a way of making these switches for less, if you're willing to trade money for toil and strife. Wind up toys have a very long roll of "wind up spring". 3D print a jig to bend a short piece of that into shape. Use somewhat translucent filament to print the switch. Or use a diffuser/matte thingy from a LCD monitor. I don't know. It'll probably be more expensive in the end but you'll feel good that you did it.

felooboolooombaon Devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027

Slogan is now "We didn't used to be evil"

felooboolooombaon GrapheneOS in 2027 available on high-end Motorola phones

This is absolutely not a witch-hunt. People in that position wield enormous power and take their paycheck and responsibility that comes with it. Linking to his professional linked in relation to his responsibility is nothing but professional.

felooboolooombaon The Water Footprint of AI

Can someone explain why the data centers are using this insane amount of water. What's the ratio of closed system, evaporation?, and straight-down-the-drain water?

felooboolooombaon France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls

Here you are finally Kon5ole. I've been to reach you regarding a car accident that wasn't you fault, is that correct?

felooboolooombaon Show HN: Ante, a coding agent in a single binary that runs offline

Here you say:

  > Ante installs a pinned, checksum-verified official llama.cpp

But in README:

  > Ante ships its own inference engine

May I suggest you use the first phrasing in both places. I took it as Ante devs had written their own engine and I doubt I'm the only one.

felooboolooombaon Decimen Optical Transfer: fountain-coded QR file transfer

Is there a way to negotiate ongoing FPS? I was sending at 60 but only receiving at 40. When I changed TX to 30 the speed went though the roof! I better call a builder.

Otherwise ridiculously cool project. May author's pillow always be cool on both sides.

felooboolooombaon I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux

> Not that it's 100% un-concerning

The face alone that if you spend 10 minutes within someone's proximity will get flagged is 100% concerning. Of course they keys will only be handed to government health officials, but we all know what that means.

felooboolooombaon I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux

Not to mention that your android/ios device is still shipping a bunch of bluetooth tokens for "track and trace" system. Cryptographically signed to you.
