i5heu··on Ask HN: Why is there no P2P streaming protocol like BitTorrent?
Peertube does this AFAIk (or they plan to do this)

It was not my intention to be rude.

Automatic dish washers are a thing.

I am very confused because I thought these things are completely common knowledge.

i5heu··on Why I don't discuss politics with friends
I can not be friends with someone that votes for ppl that try to literally erase me.

If these ppl come into power i have to leave my country and i would rather not have to do it.

i5heu··on Netflix’s Media Production Suite
So.. it is just a NAS with transcoding?
i5heu··on The average college student today
What is he goal of teaching?

Is it to filter out ppl that cannot do well with the teaching style of the teacher or is to transfer a skill and knowledge into the student?

This is not how it works.

You have to actively pin data for it to be distributed.

i5heu··on Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution with Neural Heat Fields
Very good work!

Sadly this model really does not like nosy images that have codec compression artifacts, at least with my few test images.

i5heu··on Tianjin robot incident raises alarm over public safety and robotics
At which point does a "thing that moves by itself" like a Railway crossing and a thing that keeps itself in an upright position become a robot that needs to determine if an action can lead to physical harm on something else or itself?

I do not thing this thing can be cautious because it is a remote controlled car with 2 legs and everything the "AI" part is doing build down to keeping balance and locating the position that it hardcoded needs to grab.

Or in other words there is an operator, like with an RC car or a real car.

i5heu··on Tianjin robot incident raises alarm over public safety and robotics
What incredible click bait. There is nothing "Incident", "Raising Alarm" or "Shocking" about this.

"Robot in Tianjin stumbles" there i fixed the Title.

i5heu··on Fair Pricing
Looks like I am a kagi customer now.

What a bold and genius move.

i5heu··on Using Linear Programming to find optimal builds in League of Legend
I am German, we write all nouns capitalized.

If I write English I often need to fix some nouns that I have written subconsciously capitalized.

So I think it would be equally acceptable for me to just leave them in?

i5heu··on Reverse Engineering Bambu Connect
Is this a defect under the EU law?

If so one could get a refund :)

i5heu··on Das Blinkenlights
Also Kindergarten is German :)
i5heu··on Right to root access
But the question here is if it should be illegal for manufacturers to make the modify a product.

The difference is between a locked down boot loader and one that is just a standard boot loader.

i5heu··on I deleted my social media accounts
I stay in touch with ppl that are important to me by writing or calling them once every 2 months.

I do not care if they do the same. I am old now (almost 30) and came to the realization that all of our lifes are packet and busy and ppl are very bad at keeping up with other ppl that are not continuously presented to them.

This is the price I have to pay to not be on instagram: writing my friends and ask them how they doing.

And it is a very nice price to pay.

i5heu··on Trying to use Bluesky without getting burned again
Yes you can change your PDS without losing anything.

i5heu··on Ask HN: What are your Favorite Things? (2024)
I put my list here as a comment since i do not want to clutter or preload the post.

*Work*

- Walking Pad: Since i got one under my working desk i am able to walk a lot while coding which helps me a lot to stay fit

- local LLMs: I use several small LLMs for tasks such as filtering news for relevance... I am still completely mind-blown that these things work that well for what they are.

- 32" 4K OLED Monitor: I kinda like how text and colors look on this new monitor and it even allowed me to get rid of my second monitor.

- Desktop Speaker: They sound like wear a good pair of headphones... but without the headphones and more base

*Daily life*

- Hot Pot: Got myself a standalone induction cooking plate with an hot pot pot and having friends over and slowly eat (and cook i guess) for multiple ours with good conversations is in itself something to live for.

- Glasses: I do not see blurry at all but i always had the impression that it is "hard" and in some way unpleasant to focus on text for longer periods, as it turns out my eyes are very slightly miss aligned which leads them to work and readjust constantly which results in fatigue of the eyes. So i now have prism glasses which completely remove this feeling.

- 3D Printer: A source for a lot of fun and it is surprisingly useful for our home. I printed multiple awesome looking lamp shades and a few helper for the household.

- Gridfinity: A 3D printable open-source grid storage system i use to organize a lot of smaller objects

*Media*

- Comics: I did not expect to enjoy comics that much but the art in them and how they enable other ways of transporting a story is something i deeply enjoy.

- Dune 2: Such a great achievement i watched it 3 times this year and i am still in awe that we humans can produce beauty and depth like this.

i5heu··on Sora is here
Or we will have some cryptographic going on that is connected with your ID to prove that you are indeed human.

Trust on a society level is some other beast of difficult problem.

i5heu··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
i think this might fit on https://serverlesshorrors.com/
i5heu··on Ask HN: What language do you think your LLM wants to speak?
Uhhh this is interesting question!

So because of the way LLMs are trained they naturally prefer to use the language one has initiated the conversation. I would guess that for the LLM, or specifically the transformer in it, the difference between human languages is not that big. But it would be interesting what it would lead to if we give transformers a possibility to answer in much more denser spaces. Like what if we can extract concepts itself and allow the LLM to answer with them instead of using the human language intermediate. - think a compressed embedding

i5heu··on Getting my daily news from a dot matrix printer
I cannot recommend FT. I tried to get their physical paper, never got one and although I made 3 calls and wrote about 10 mails to them they only would escalate my ticket after I unsubscribed and demanded a refund, this was after 3 weeks and a lot of time on my side.

That is why I am also super interested in just printing news from the net for myself, so I do not need to keep watching on a screen.

i5heu··on Kagi Assistant
As a search provider AI is basically their bread and butter. There is no single useful web search index that does work without AI.
i5heu··on Is My Blue Your Blue?
Ohhhh this is soo cool! I always wondered if my color perception is normal because sometimes i have the feeling that i do not have that much of saturation.

Still failed to find such a test but this goes into this direction. Maybe this comment can help me with this search.

i5heu··on Hetzner Cloud Expands to Singapore
At this point it would be cool if Hetzner would have not only a floating IPs but also Multicast IPs.

This would be on my Wishlist super high up and it would instantly solve a big issue in routing with a robust solution.

i5heu··on Children should be allowed to get bored (2013)
Rather then taking kinds their media away and in turn making this media even more valuable for them. I would suggest trying to establish attention as something valuable and that is important to direct yourself rather then having it directed by someone else.
