huslage··on Electronics Teardown: Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor (2024)
The sensor likely needs to send all of this info for compliance reasons. Each measurement needs to be tied to the sensor directly I think.
huslage··on Electronics Teardown: Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor (2024)
The sensor is the same. I wonder if xDrip can read a wider range?
huslage··on A story about restoring and upgrading a Commodore Amiga 1000
I have 4 of these sitting at my house. I should either do this sort of project or sell them off.
huslage··on Bypassing disk encryption on systems with automatic TPM2 unlock
The other option is to have an intrusion prevention switch or two in the case so the TPM locks itself in some way and the machine refuses to boot at all without some PKI attestation.
huslage··on Portable 5G networks for disaster response in North Carolina
I've been working with Operation Connect Carolina to get Internet connectivity to hospitals, aid centers, and residents of Western North Carolina who have been severely impacted by the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. We're building and deploying ad hoc communications systems to the region in partnership with established, experienced organizations. Would you consider helping by providing a donation?
huslage··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Working on getting communications back online in western NC. We are about to post a fundraiser to deploy 10 5G sites by the end of the week.
huslage··on Friend.com – The Virtual Friend
I thought we already went down this rabbit hole. Do we need snarky responses from an LLM?
huslage··on Boeing 737 crashes during take-off in Senegal
Thank you for this. The plane didn’t “crash” or fall out of the sky. It rejected takeoff and left the runway.
huslage··on I'm no longer involved at Signal
Why is this getting downvoted?
huslage··on I'm no longer involved at Signal
DHH only has strong feelings. Katherine Maher is a great CEO and leader and has been taken out of context in order to isolate her and make her unsupportable by people who claim to not like cancel culture. The whole thing is ridiculous.
huslage··on Elon Musk sues Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI [pdf]
Billionaires fighting over trends is peak capitalism.
huslage··on How to find the AWS account ID of any S3 bucket
I have always likened AWS Account IDs to be similar to public keys. But even less useful. There is nothing useful that you can do with them without other information.
huslage··on Vision Pro teardown part 2: What’s the display resolution?
Reflective displays like that are much simpler to make than an OLED.
huslage··on Slashing data transfer costs in AWS
I have used this and other techniques for years and never gotten shut down. Passing through S3 is also generally more efficient for distributing data to multiple sources than running some sync process.
huslage··on Apple to halt Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 sales in the US this week
Why doesn't Apple just buy this company instead of fighting with them?
huslage··on All Things Open 2024
Looks like it's already sold out of the $79 pre-sale
huslage··on Fun with DNS TXT Records
DNS is a database. This is just the culmination of its role.
huslage··on A tiny supercritical carbon dioxide turbine can power 10k homes
This seems to be an incremental improvement on old technologies that still burn CO2. They mention the solar concentrators, but that's sort of a nonstarter in the US for various (mainly economical) reasons. I mean 10% efficiency improvement is a useful thing, but this is hardly a "clean" form of power generation.
huslage··on X celebrates 60% savings from cloud exit
DHH is insane
huslage··on OpenAI Dropped Work on New 'Arrakis' AI Model in Rare Setback
I think this is hype cycle thinking by the press. Projects start and fail for all sorts of reasons in every company. OpenAI wasn’t exactly a huge company with thousands of employees at the time. Failures happen when you’re trying to build a new market. No big deal.
huslage··on Netflix to Open Stores Where Fans Can Play, Shop and Eat in 2025
Can we rent DVDs there too?
huslage··on Epic Games is laying off 16% of its staff
They aren't public
huslage··on MGM Seeks Contractors to Repair Infra in 3 Weeks
You can’t get a sponsorship done that fast right now I think. The green card thing is just xenophobic
huslage··on Ask HN: Has anyone actually tried Tailscale's Mullvad exit nodes?
There seems to be some issues with it. I've had lots of problems as well with "selected but offline" errors, especially if tailscaled is running in usermode.
huslage··on Cleaning Up Dead Bodies in AWS IAM
This website is marketing nonsense. I need to understand the technical underpinnings of it. Why does this help me?
huslage··on Target's EasySweep – Simplifying Skimmer Detection
Unfortunately that's not how it works. There is a protocol at the payment processor for Apple Pay (at least) that has to be followed so that the device card number (not the card number on your card and not a "virtual card") is tied to the correct account. It's a whole thing. Most POS systems ship with support for it at this point. And you have to sign some sort of agreement so that you are compliant.

huslage··on Target's EasySweep – Simplifying Skimmer Detection
as if Email is some sort of durable identifier in the first place.
huslage··on SHOW-1 and Showrunner Agents in Multi-Agent Simulations
I believe this sort of system is one of the main reasons why WGA and SAG-AFTRA are striking. Even though this seeks to "augment" the writing process, it ultimately leads to not needing a writer at all. It also just requires an actor provide enough audio to generate a believable voice. All of the limitations to fully automated episodic generation are essentially temporary.
huslage··on Qualcomm works with Meta to enable on-device AI applications using Llama 2
Apple has not been silent. The whole iOS 17 release has AI stuff sprinkled all through it. They just aren't speaking the same language as everyone else. They are also hiring generative AI folks like crazy for things like Siri. They want to own the on-device space and are well on the way to revolutionizing their operating systems and hardware to do it.
huslage··on Stalwart All-in-One Mail Server (IMAP, JMAP, SMTP)
Why is this not set up to filter spam out of the box? It's not really an optional thing at this point, and writing Sieve scripts that work well is not necessarily easy.
