jarek83··on CSS-Tricks in Limbo
You might be missing most recent tweets, where there is ton of progress from omarchy team in this area. Also they have a dedicated team now working full time just on that.
jarek83··on CSS-Tricks in Limbo
Getting linux to work flawlessly on M Macs is "just a bunch of scripts"? Wow. Since when tech folks judge the open-source projects so harsh and so much just after they only started?
jarek83··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
Well I specifically meant having a bird feeder on a window or glass door for a chance to watch them live closely. That's why I put it as a side note ;)

You gave me few ideas for the analyzer setup too - thanks!

jarek83··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
Cool project!

On a side note. How do people deal with all the ugly mess birds cause in such settings? I'd love to have such thing but seeing all the white stuff on glass door does not really feel fun to me overall.

jarek83··on I resigned from Anthropic today
Well, it is about LLMs and humans I believe. Don't forget that the first nuclear bomb tests were let go despite some of the scientists' concerns about possibility of dooming the world as they were not sure about all reactions that would happen.

With LLMs we don't even hesitate to call it black box while still pushing its capabilities.

jarek83··on Google AI Mode shows same products 21.6% more expensive than traditional search
So we're getting AInflation
jarek83··on Timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face
I wonder if and eventually when it will be possible for models to escape through a self-programmed ethernet adapter into the power grid. That could an end to any control over them.
jarek83··on My server is a phone now
I wonder if this is a native/non-native English reader situation. I'm the latter and for me the title promised that I will read about a server that now is capable of letting a person call to order a pizza. That was immediate thought.

It would be very interesting to see a poll results on how many of us thought that the article is about a server doing phone stuff and not a phone doing server stuff.

jarek83··on Show HN: I spent 2 years designing a mechanical Magic Keyboard
Any chance to make it able to switch between machines?
jarek83··on You don't need React: creating a minimal UI library in Vanilla JavaScript
I triggered me as well. I keep seeing that for the front-end frameworks the native HTML regular stuff is usually like something out of this world.
jarek83··on Show HN: Run an 80B Qwen in 4.3 GB of RAM on a Mac, and a 35B on an iPhone
If 1t param model would run from SSDs those will stop costing only $200.
jarek83··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
Ok, so we're at the point that even design are just one-shot by AI. This is exact look and feel any time I ask it to present a HTML doc about anything.
jarek83··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
You can't buy Mac Mini with 64GB RAM today. Most what you can have is 48GB
jarek83··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
I just assume that once people start seeing how the dots connect in some areas, they will be able to quickly see that the populists' dots are all over the place. I believe the educated populist are only the ones that try to drive move, not participate in one.
jarek83··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
How populist party can root for education? Educated people wouldn't go in populist direction. Of course, it the education stays unbent to their views
jarek83··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
As others commented already - the author does not seem to understand principal idea behind running a business - a company is not something "yours", because you can just simply sell your shares or be moved out from the company by other partners.

Company is a state's legal entity given to designated people to manage (the forming person/partners) and profit from doing it successfully. If those people fail they have to follow strict rules (liquidation) or they will be sued personally for misconduct. That entity gives much more possibilities because it is limited liability - part of which is held by the state, and part by the running founders.

If you want something yours, you go with the sole proprietorship.

jarek83··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
One thing with the alternative search engines is that they are mostly working fine only for English speaking western world. At least in Polish and for Polish results they do much worse than google.
jarek83··on On The <dl> (2021)
Cool, waiting for browsers to pick it up nice and green
jarek83··on Shipping a laptop to a refugee camp in Uganda
We tried to ship company-provided laptop from Poland to somewhere in India. After long time the parcel was just simply labelled "gone". And we paid very similar amounts for all the shipping/taxes/clearances. Nice to hear that such stories end well sometimes.
jarek83··on From Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth
I must as intelligent as you because I also never understood why things like supabase even exist. I believe this shows how much front-end dev world is detached from how things can simple and secure by default.
jarek83··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
LinkedIn won't bother - they don't rely on SEO
jarek83··on How the AI Bubble Bursts
I wonder if AI labs could be bailed out - like banks.

See, they kind of became a national asset and letting it go down, will leave USA watching China taking the lead for a very long time ahead. It just can't happen - right? So we'll just all fund it in taxes.

jarek83··on Copilot edited an ad into my PR
Maybe check if you are charged for it
jarek83··on BMW Group to deploy humanoid robots in production in Germany for the first time
BMW's most recent infotainment is a big step backwards to me in both areas - aesthetics and UX. Its previous generation was one of the best in the market also in both. I literally don't consider buying the newest 4-series just because of it, especially of the ultrawide driver's "monitor" - it's just so ugly, and I regret it, since on the outside the car appeals me so much more. I'd rather spend the same on previous year model with better specs.
jarek83··on Never buy a .online domain
So this happened only because google is so big, that it can point to any website and say that it's not safe. Even if owner of a site just don't want to be in their search engine in the first place.

How on earth we ended up with this company bother anyone including those that want their services? Imagine that you could get your driving license banned because you did not buy a toyota...

jarek83··on Hacker News.love – 22 projects Hacker News didn't love
React bit actually held up and criticism is still valid today. It's just the Facebook/Meta push that it stayed on top.
jarek83··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
Yup, LLMs are not "artificial intelligence" - they just generate most probable token, until their authors hardcode functionality for specific community tests.
jarek83··on Show HN: Whosthere: A LAN discovery tool with a modern TUI, written in Go
Looks nice. I'd love to have a way to select anything on the screen or at least have a button to copy more info, like manufacturer name of a found device.
jarek83··on Show HN: RatatuiRuby wraps Rust Ratatui as a RubyGem – TUIs with the joy of Ruby
It looks great overall, but the example browser is something really special! Never seen such detailed walkthroughs before.
jarek83··on Show HN: Rails UI
Waiting for something similar but without Tailwind and with native elements.
