pezgrande··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
Nice hack but sounds quite unsafe, I like having to unblock de phone in order to use it.
pezgrande··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
Guess who wins that, bots. Now you need a whole new system to verify the identity of the buyer (which HN would prob love).

Also is First Come First Serve really fair? Some people have more time at hand to keep refreshing the page until the tickets are available.

pezgrande··on Zig by Example
The language is almost 10 years old and they are not planning a v1.0 anytime soon afaik.
pezgrande··on Zig by Example
I like Zig but stopped learning it when I realized that all project based on it requires a specific version of the compiler to build.
pezgrande··on OneDrive data now has an expiry date
I'd guess it is more about making companies paying more and higher subs than training data.
pezgrande··on Ask HN: So what happened to Facebook "localhost" tracking?
I guess that's why I am getting so many "Allow to find devices on your network" alerts. Good feature overall.
pezgrande··on 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 – AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building
good way to get us a in a singularity
pezgrande··on 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 – AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building
$20B is like pocket money at the scale the whole industry is moving.
pezgrande··on 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 – AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building
A laptop with a 226v/256v cost around the same than the "cheap" Mac Neo and can play most games (old games native/new games with AI scaling)
pezgrande··on AI outperforms law professors in Stanford Law study
I said that still requires skill, just not as much.
pezgrande··on AI outperforms law professors in Stanford Law study
Do papers need a "non-conflict of interest" disclosure nowadays to not be considered just ads?
pezgrande··on AI outperforms law professors in Stanford Law study
I kinda disagree. High risk environments just means that they will have to have a human-in-the-loop for a longer time which drastically reduce the skill required for such human (which is still requires high skill just not stupidly high).
pezgrande··on I'm Getting into Mesh Networks (Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum)
A swarm of millions of devices (that can be solar powered) could be more resilient than the "few" nodes that the "internet" architecture has. I guess that is the motivation, in theory.

Internet is not neutral, and hasn't been for too long, many providers offering free Whatsapp or cases like LaLiga.

pezgrande··on Flatpak Will Depend on Systemd
Interesting... didn't know this part of Linux history. I remember complaining about pulseaudio crashing a lot though ha. Thanks for sharing it.
pezgrande··on Flatpak Will Depend on Systemd
As a Linux normie, I've never understood why systemd is/was so much opinioned about.
pezgrande··on Mistral AI acquires Emmi AI
I have yet to see someone recommending Mistral for anything tbh.
pezgrande··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
They were CPU killers but man those Flash websites were gorgeous (talking mostly about MU Online "private" servers)
pezgrande··on Mini Shai-Hulud Strikes Again: 314 npm Packages Compromised
Only works if the Docker socket is mounted which is pretty stupid thing to do and also not something you would do in a "frontend" container. Essentially is like having a password-less ssh
pezgrande··on Don't hijack my mouse pointer
Same in Discord, crappy apps.
pezgrande··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
If anything I am glad a bit of shift to local llm's. Their gemma4 is pretty powerful for such small model so I guess that's what they are delivering.
pezgrande··on Where the goblins came from
They should call it "El Quijote" syndrome
pezgrande··on Ubuntu 26.04
I think snap is not preinstalled in Kubuntu.
pezgrande··on GitHub's fake star economy
Positive ofc, most of them a top-tier Rust devs.
pezgrande··on Expanding Swift's IDE Support
I hate that I need to create an Apple account (with email and phone verification) just to be able download the sdk to use MacOS APIs. To make things worse I tried for like one hour to create an account and couldn't because for some reason I was no receiving the verification email.
pezgrande··on Ollama is now powered by MLX on Apple Silicon in preview
> have to release free open source models because they distill from OpenAI and Anthropic

They dont really have to though, they just need to be good enough and cheaper (even if distilled). That being said, it is true they are gaining a lot of visibility (specially Qwen) because of being open-source(weight).

Hardware-wise they seem they will catch-up in 3-5 years (Nvidia is kind of irrelevant, what matters is the node).

pezgrande··on Ollama is now powered by MLX on Apple Silicon in preview
You could argue that the only reason we have good open-weight models is because companies are trying to undermine the big dogs, and they are spending millions to make sure they dont get too far ahead. If the bubble pops then there wont be incentive to keep doing it.
pezgrande··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
It was even published by Yahoo lol [0].

pezgrande··on Lazycut: A simple terminal video trimmer using FFmpeg
I feel so bad that I need to google every single time I need to untar and unzip a file :(
pezgrande··on Why I may ‘hire’ AI instead of a graduate student
Will they? Just because you developed them that doesn't guarantee they will stay with you. It's been always the same issue tbh, but big companies could accept the risk because they pay the most competitive salaries anyways.
pezgrande··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
aren't most of them being payed by big corps? Redhat, Google, Microsoft... you name it.
