gtm1260··on Apple Wallet driver's licenses coming to three new states soon
If it makes you feel any better, we've had them for years in California and there is still almost no scenario where you don't still need your physical ID.
gtm1260··on High-Res Photo Shows Sand-Capped Butte Rising from Mars Plain of Polygons
Nasa needs to send an iphone to mars - every photo from there looks so weird.
gtm1260··on AI OSS tool repo goes archived over night after raising $7.3M Seed
not really true unless you raise on terrible terms.
gtm1260··on Spotify will start reserving concert tickets for fans
How does willingness to pay more money not correlate with fandom?
gtm1260··on Spotify will start reserving concert tickets for fans
How does this not just bias who gets ticket to those with more time preference.
gtm1260··on An articulated archer automaton [video]
I love how detailed this little automaton is! Incredible to see what one person can do.
gtm1260··on The Codex app illustrates the shift left of IDEs and coding GUIs
I don't like the craft of the app. There are a few moments that really left me feeling it wasn't 100 percent thought through like cursor is at this point.

gtm1260··on A modern 35mm film scanner for home
The fact that there is still no sample scans has me heated - instead of showing us all these specs, how about some sample images!!
gtm1260··on It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
This is crazy annoying!!
gtm1260··on How I pwned a major New Zealand service provider
on apple card you can always pull up the real card info on the app.
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Great maker projects for 8th grade kids and above?
I feel like its best to have a project first where you need 3d printing and then buy a printer. Just getting a printer in and of itself is kinda boring after finding some random crap on thingiverse and printing it out.
gtm1260··on Vim Racer
I feel like I found a bug but I'm not sure - when I do <line_number> then Shift +G I don't think the behavior is correct.
gtm1260··on Luma AI Dream Machine
Two headed guy from Roman Mythology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus
gtm1260··on 3D framework for the web, built on Svelte and Three.js
Super cool!
gtm1260··on OpenAI Japan
What if GPT "enjoys" reading something lol
gtm1260··on Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators from Subreddits Continuing Blackouts
I would also bet that the majority of Reddit users care more about having an open subreddit than the mods do as well.
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
I find that the GPT-4 in the playground is as good as before - but have noticed the issues when using the chat gpt client
gtm1260··on If It Can't Spend $400M in F1 Anymore, Ferrari Might as Well Win Le Mans
Moveable Aero is supposedly coming in the 2026 F1 regulations
gtm1260··on UK Blocks Microsoft’s $69B Activision Deal
Does anyone else think its crazy to unwind these acquisitions years afterwards? Where the companies have already been operating as a single entity for years?
gtm1260··on OpenAI tech gives Microsoft's Bing a boost in search battle with Google
My mental model has totally shifted to the point where even like dealing with stack overflow feels like a pain compared to just asking gpt-4.
gtm1260··on HBO’s The Last of US TV show is pushing the game up the sales charts
got into it on the show, picked up the game for 9.99 this weekend! the game is so much grittier and more violent (and I already thought the show was gritty and violent lol). I love zombie stories and this is one of the greats that I've missed out on till now.
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Scratch for a blind child?
I saw the code jumper tech at a conference once, it was actually really thoughtfully done, I had no idea it cost 1k though!

One other option I've seen is this Spintronics platform: https://upperstory.com/spintronics/

I first saw it on Steve Mould's youtube channel, they're basically mechanical circuits and it looks super cool.

gtm1260··on DVD sales surpass Blu-ray in 2021: Physical format market
Blu-ray 4k is an amazing media format for true enthusiasts. Nothing beats the 100% complete compression artifact free viewing experience. Good streaming services like apple tv get close, but nothing beats Blu-ray UHD disks.

Would 99% of people on 99% of tvs not be able to tell any difference? Probably.

gtm1260··on Why is the terminal input so weird?
This is awesome
gtm1260··on macOS keeps a huge wallpapers cache
Gotta put a word in for daisy disk! Maybe you're paying for some fancy animations, but by golly are they nice LOL.
gtm1260··on Almost every Ferrari sold since 2005 is being recalled
Honestly that sounds like a really intense moment for the guy LOL! Like one minute you're pulling into your driveway, the next your car is at the bottom of a pond.
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Hetzner banned me with no explanation. What can I do?
Am I crazy for thinking that its hard to take these posts seriously without ANY indication from the op of what they're up to?

I know that obviously there's no obligation to share etc, but I can't help but feel like if they truly weren't up to anything sketchy they would be more forthcoming?

gtm1260··on I regret my website redesign
He says he got a 40% increase in sales, so I imagine that takes the edge off a little LOL!
gtm1260··on Volkswagen bringing back Scout brand truck as electric vehicle made in America
Here's hoping for a tiny, extremely bare bones, affordable, electric truck I can use to haul bikes around!
