freeamzon XTool – Cross-platform Xcode replacement

Same thing with the bank bail out, if Bush did oh my we will never hear end of it, but if cool president who smokes weed and get down some good music, then no one really call him out on it.

freeamzon Cracked – Method chaining/CSS-style selector web audio library

Hmm seems like the jQuery of Web Audio API? How are the browser support on mobile?

Edit: with a bit pure data flavor mixed in... super nice!

freeamzon Void: Open-source Cursor alternative

Ah sorry, I see that now. It was just really small.

freeamzon My new deadline: 20 years to give away virtually all my wealth

True. Actively committing to spend down the entire endowment in a specific timeframe does not mean it is not used create a dynasty.

In the 50's the Congress in US was getting suspicious about those foundations already. There were a investigation for it:

freeamzon Trump's NIH axed research grants even after a judge blocked the cuts

Just like GMO, something like that alters our biology to such significant level, there ought to be some inter generational studies carried out before trying it on human.

freeamzon Void: Open-source Cursor alternative

Why no linux build? It is just vscode in ts right? And it is an electron app right?

freeamzon My new deadline: 20 years to give away virtually all my wealth

Foundation is a way to set a dynasty! Just look at all the robber baron foundations out there.

freeamzon Technical analysis of the Signal clone used by Trump officials

>The big part of this story which nobody is talking about is the fact that the app is literally controlled by a bunch of “former” Israeli intelligence officers. Who now have what is arguably the worlds most valuable access out of anyone.

You are just talking about the clone, NOT signal foundation and the dev team?

freeamzon Show HN: VectorVFS, your filesystem as a vector database

Yeah this kind of setup is indefinitely scaleable, but not searchable without out a meta db/index keeping track of all the nodes.

freeamzon On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots

It is funny that we are reading this now and it makes sense. Imagine in the future where LLM/Diffusion agents are the norms. We will get blog about "No Not using LLM -- Cultivating your critical thinking skills/(coding or whatever fill in the blank tasks that we eventually figure how to get machines to do on our behave"

freeamzon A Survey of AI Agent Protocols

Agent seems like a process/worker/thread that is running LLM inference?

freeamzon Show HN: Free, in-browser PDF editor

Doesn't seem to be working ATM:

Console. Chrome based browser. Uncaught (in promise) wc: Input document to `PDFDocument.load` is encrypted. You can use `PDFDocument.load(..., { ignoreEncryption: true })` if you wish to load the document anyways.

freeamzon The Totalitarian Buddhist Who Beat SIM City (2010)

Thanks for the point dang. Is it just me find it disturbing that the original article's referencing page is gone, and now we had to go to wayback machine to get a copy.

A bit off topic are there any BitTorrent/ipfs effort to archive archive.org ?

freeamzon GitDroid: A third party Android app manager for apps uploaded to GitHub releases

or forgejo

freeamzon Just redesigned my personal site with a TTY-style interface

Isn't this just https://xtermjs.org ?

Possible past discussions:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28797535

can we get a dump of the hacker news archive?

freeamzon Third party cookies must be removed

Tor Browser safe mode. That is one of few ways to defeat that fingerprinting thing.

freeamzon Third party cookies must be removed

More UI/UX distinction is needed! Just the green lock for security! The browser should indicate the level of privacy of the page. If the page use no js or any GPU compromising (css I'm looking at you), then it gets a green kind. For every privacy/security compromising feature you add the turns yellow. Once it start to ask for WebUSB, MIDI, then it should be in some kind of Native Mode. More like a UI/UX issue for the major browser makers!

freeamzon Third party cookies must be removed

Feel like all this cookies thing is just white wash, when if you enable JS then they can track you no matter if you have cookies or not!

Nothing is private: https://nothingprivate.gkr.pw

More effort ought to be put into how to make web spec to NOT be able track user even if JS is turned on.

Browser vendor Brave, Firefox suppose to privacy browser are NOT doing anything about it.

At this point, do we need to using JS disabled browser to really get privacy on the web?

freeamzon The Policy Puppetry Prompt: Novel bypass for major LLMs

Interesting. How does this compare to abliteration of LLM? What are some 'debug' tools to find out the constrain of these models?

How does pasting a xml file 'jailbreaks' it?

freeamzon Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces

What about hono client side? Seems to have most React functionalities:

https://hono.dev/docs/guides/jsx-dom ?

freeamzon Visiting Us

>- Instead, product was built the old-fashioned way - by talking to customers; quite often, customers would reach out to us! "Please build time-saving feature x", "support new medical procedure y", "help us publish more research by analyzing z".

Think that might be a plus. PM/PO has ruined the industry. This way at least one has a direction to the customers, which is something I can't say about large companies.

freeamzon Getting Forked by Microsoft

Hmm, think we ought to judge on a case by case basis. However, for megacorp and especially banks that has almost 0 to 1% access to cost of capital, vs rest of us who at at 20 - 30 % ( for credit card, loan sharks), then there should be a different license for these people. There should be a GLP type license adjusted to the cost of the capital.

freeamzon Gemma 3 QAT Models: Bringing AI to Consumer GPUs

In Scandinavian financial related severs must in the country! That always sounded like a sane approach. The whole putting your data on saas or AWS just seems like the same "Let's shift the responsibility to a big player".

Any important data should NOT be in devices that is NOT physically with in our jurisdiction.

freeamzon Gemma 3 QAT Models: Bringing AI to Consumer GPUs

so what is the real comparison against DeepSeek r1 ? Would be good to know which is actually more cost efficient and open (reproducible build) to run locally.

freeamzon Gemma 3 QAT Models: Bringing AI to Consumer GPUs

>I'm also interested in their applications for journalism, specifically for dealing with extremely sensitive data like leaked information from confidential sources.

Think it is NOT just you. Most company with decent management also would not want their data going to anything outside the physical server they have in control of. But yeah for most people just use an app and hosted server. But this is HN,there are ppl here hosting their own email servers, so shouldn't be too hard to run llm locally.

freeamzon Googler... ex-Googler

This has being like this when that changed from "Personal" department to "Human Resources"

Do the corp that is what you are!

The lower level of hell is definitely reserved of industrial psychologists and advertisers!

freeamzon Open source and self hostable/private file converter

Kinda remind me of this:

https://newbeelearn.com/tools/videoeditor/

and this one also outputs ffmpeg command as well.

freeamzon No elephants: Breakthroughs in image generation

Hmmm isn't stable diffusion already doing that?

freeamzon Less Htmx Is More

I have made many many web pages over the last 15 years of so that is for just a few months or days. What I do is archive it on way back machine, and if the page works on way back machine then that is my stamp of approval for the page. It can also tell you the page is self contained! It works pretty well with WebGL and event audio playlist. There is NO point of making web dev so complicated just because FANNG company are using the framework. It is designed for they corporate structure. Anyone else should NOT use FANNG based framework!

For long term web, I stay way from SPA with a long stick.

freeamzon Smallest Pacemaker Is the Size of a Rice Grain

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/08/190805143525.h...

seems like they already have tech for something like that. Also saw some research in 2016 related similar use EMG to control nano bots in bloodstream.

This tech is interesting that it is using galvanic cell to power the bots.
