joehabeebs··on 3D-printing enthusiast creates 'Flock Sock' to blind controversial cameras
I've seen reports of homes being passed on for sale because these cameras are pointed in their backyards or at community pools.

I'm not surprised to see the trend of pushing back continue.

joehabeebs··on Ask HN: Would you play AI developed games?
I grew up playing flash games on sites like miniclips or addictinggames.

IMO there's no strong reason why games should or shouldn't be created using AI (entirely or even partially). There's a few software companies after this space but I think the issue you run into is monetization -- I'm probably never going to pay to play a flash game equivalent, and im pretty confident that's the majority of people which leaves ads and microtransactions as the dominating paths to profitability.

joehabeebs··on GPT-5.6, Grok 4.5, Claude, and Muse Spark build the same 4 apps
Interesting tests being done but I can't help but think it limits testing innovation in some way given that the requested apps are essentially all clones of others
joehabeebs··on Command and Conquer Generals natively ported to macOS, iPhone, iPad using Fable
I spent countless hours on this game as a kid and as I got older I found that trying to go back and play the game got more and more difficult as the technology scaled beyond the platform it was originally intended for.

A great use for what AI can help with, especially in the hands of dedicated fans. Maybe I will find some time to try and experiment with custom maps or units, the modding scene of C&C Generals was always pretty lively.

joehabeebs··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
I was also taking 5K IU per day but had to tone it down after getting quite dizzy. I've been taking them every few days now and have yet to do a follow up but this is helpful to hear!
joehabeebs··on The CAPTCHA arms race: from distorted text to browser identity
The most recent variations that force you to click the boxes containing a certain artifact are incredibly frustrating and fail half the time. The large influx of AI-SEO optimized content being created makes me question CAPTCHAs efficacy today
joehabeebs··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
I was told I was Vitamin D deficient and accidentally over indexed on supplements and got quite sick. Some of the dosages on OTC are ridiculously high

Really impressive
