pmx··on Show HN: Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn
It's not fun when people end up with that domain in their history on corporate networks. Fun would be redirecting to a rickroll, what you did is malicious.
pmx··on Show HN: Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn
By attention he means it redirects to adult content.
pmx··on Instagram tests forcing users to watch adverts
I won't be running ads in this format. They're a great way to make your target audience harbour negative feelings towards your brand. I can see these kinds of ads quickly becoming a sea of low-quality, spammy, or scammy ads like the fake game adverts that seem prevalent on Facebook.
pmx··on It looks a lot like VMware just lost a 24,000-VM customer
This massively increases risk too, right? Pinning all your revenue on a much smaller customer base means losing one or two of them has a huge impact!
pmx··on Dell leak details next-gen Windows on Arm chips
I wonder if maybe they have implemented the touch bar in a much more useful way? The mac one was pointless and only served to reduce utility but with the right software it could have been fantastic. Some 3rd party software hacks even gave it haptic feedback (by activating the trackpads haptics) and that alone made it a million times better. Interested to see what Dell have done with it.
pmx··on A low budget consumer hardware espionage implant (2018)
Wouldn't someone using this sort of thing also buy a cheap burner phone and throw-away sim card? They're easy to buy with cash and you don't need to register them or anything to use them. Supermarkets in the UK even sell sims with credit already loaded onto them.
pmx··on Rabbit R1 can be run on a Android device
It's different, sure. But it's not _better_ for it. They made the UX worse to give the scroll wheel a reason to exist, that isn't what I class as innovation.
pmx··on Rabbit R1 can be run on a Android device
It was very obvious that the original statement from Rabbit was knowingly false when they made it. It's weird to me how these companies dig themselves deeper by doing stuff like that, have they never experienced the real world before?
pmx··on New startup sells coffee through SSH
> It's still cool to see it in your terminal though

This is the whole point, I think. Things can exist just because they're fun :)

pmx··on TSMC unveils 1.6nm process technology with backside power delivery
Thanks this was a very useful summary for me!
pmx··on Equinox.space
The patterns
pmx··on Collection of notebooks showcasing some fun and effective ways of using Claude
I've seen this kind of comment a few times, I was considering building some tools on top of Claude but this strongly puts me off. I don't want to invest the engineering time only to randomly have the account blocked with no warning and no explanation.
pmx··on Limitless: Personalized AI powered by what you've seen, said, and heard
Do you plan to add support for microsoft calendars and email? I have gmail but none of my work stuff is in there so I can't really make great use of this :(
pmx··on An FDA approved device offers a new treatment for tinnitus
Holy crap this works! I've the loud high-pitched type all evening and i've just used your method to reduce its volume significantly! Thank you!
pmx··on M 4.8 – 2024 Whitehouse Station, New Jersey Earthquake
They travel in waves through the rock!
pmx··on Show HN: Dropflow, a CSS layout engine for node or <canvas>
I've used this with good success

pmx··on Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu
You can just as easily run pirated games on real hardware as you can a steamdeck, and vice-versa. You're conflating emulation and piracy. Emulation does not mean piracy as it is perfectly legal (and moral) to dump a game that you own so that you can play it on your preferred hardware.
pmx··on End of Life CloudMQTT
I wish more companies would EOL their products like this instead of giving zero notice and no alternative.
pmx··on Thanks FedEx, this is why we keep getting phished
Sheesh! Do you need a hug? Anyway, with chat GPT you can simply give it the image from the reddit post and get the OCRd and translated text. It's one step, it's fast, it's accurate enough. Why not use it?
pmx··on Tell HN: GPT copilots aren’t that great for programming
100% agree with you. Copilot does the really boring stuff for me so I can work on actually solving the interesting problems. Copilot was down for a few hours the other week and I was so sick of typing out all the boilerplate stuff it usually does for me that I moved onto non-coding tasks until it was back online.
pmx··on Stable Diffusion 3
There are some VERY nsfw model fine tunes available for other versions of SD
pmx··on Plex Raises $40M
I'm more than willing to take the trade off of slightly worse metadata and a less polished UI vs plex reporting all my media, habits, etc to their movie studio bed partners. They've already turned on their users and are abandoning what made plex great to begin with. Once you get used to JellyFin it's really great.
pmx··on Eagle 7B: Soaring past Transformers
I mean, They're an organisation creating AI models, releasing an AI model. Them using AI images isn't hugely shocking to anyone with the capacity to reason. The picture looks cool at first glance, and that is really all that matters. It's just a cool bit of eye-candy leading into the article.

Then Samsung's market share goes up?

I Paid for the core technology when I PAID THEM FOR THE FREAKING PHONE
pmx··on The M2 is more advanced than it seemed
Surely the context is that this is a tech discussion forum, not a gun one?
pmx··on The M2 is more advanced than it seemed
you might be thinking of GPT4ALL?

https://gpt4all.io/index.html

I struggled to get it working on my machine, it kept corrupting the models as it downloaded them.

pmx··on How to delete your data from data brokers
I thought the rest of the article had failed to load! This just feels like a thinly veiled affiliate marketing campaign.
pmx··on British Post Office Scandal
My wife was watching the ITV drama on this last night and I had to leave the room. It was making me so incredibly angry that such huge injustices can be allowed to take place. I recommend the show to anyone with better control of their emotions that me!
