ssahoo··on Maven Imported 1.12M Fediverse Posts
Funded by the alternatural man biggest offender of noconsentual data grabber. It must be a pattern.
ssahoo··on Launch HN: Overwatch (YC S22): OSINT platform for cyber and fraud risk
Also storyline type demo sucks. A simple video that I can rewind will be preferred.

Congratulations on the launch. I noticed that you guys are SOC2 type II certified. I wonder how did you achive that so fast?
ssahoo··on Google shuts down GPay app and P2P payments in the US
Funny but i have to agree. Hope they dont rename it as Vertex Pay
ssahoo··on Self-Serve Dashboards
Modern devs are not familiar with OLAP and cubes, therefore the argument is valid until time swings again.
ssahoo··on What's new in Xcode 16 [video]
I just wish they fix the backward compatibility issue. Every upgrade they break perfectly working build.
ssahoo··on Apple's On-Device and Server Foundation Models
Apple has an ad business. They are fooling users for years while claiming that they have the right to collect user data in a recent class action lawsuit. If you don't google because you think they might track you, apple is the reason.
ssahoo··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
I never said it's better. It's a replacement if you are looking for one.
ssahoo··on Apple's On-Device and Server Foundation Models
Where did you get the idea that's its way better than openai's? Aren't they both proprietary?
ssahoo··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
Vlc media player instead of QuickTime player. It's hard to set defaults in Mac, you have to manually do for each extension.

DaVinci resolve for video editing.

QuickTime for recording.

ssahoo··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
I use terminator as a substitute for iterm. It's written in python and looking for your support. https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator
ssahoo··on Apple has rejected UTM SE from the iOS and third party App Stores
Why ban Porn from the appstore? Whats the logic here?
ssahoo··on Ask HN: How many NPM package dependencies your projects use?
It's only getting worse overtime. I have been advising devs to do more at code reviews. Every time a new package gets added or upgraded, that needs dual sign-off to justify it's use.
ssahoo··on Ask HN: I have many PDFs – what is the best local way to leverage AI for search?
This could be a humor or real hack.

Get a copilot PC with recall enabled and quickly scan through the documents by opening in Adobe acrobat reader. Voillla! You will have an sqlite dB that has your index. Few days later, Adobe could have your data in their llm.

ssahoo··on Show HN: OSS Auth0 Alternative Ory Kratos Now with Full PassKey Support
I have recently added passkey support for a few apps just to support a newer Auth standard. All i can tell, i have been very unimpressed.

LOGIN UX has become very confusing. Users have been vendor locked down. Since windows and mac and linux users have to deal with multiple key management which isn't ideal.

In my opinion, it isn't any more secure over mfa.

ssahoo··on Show HN: Laudspeaker – Open-source mobile push, SMS and email automation
Why AGPL? Most corp's legal are allergic to that license.
ssahoo··on You'll regret using natural keys
UUIDv7's premise to solve this, isn't it? it's 32 chars without dashes.
ssahoo··on LLMs in the Browser
With Webgpu users should be able to run other models as well. I have built chatllm.pro cheome extension that can run all sort of small models incliding the phi2 natively using a wasm library. You will be able to chat with the page as well
ssahoo··on Suno is paying $1M to the top creators
They are an Gen AI for music. Raised a ton of money recently and got this domain. https://suno.com/blog/fundraising-announcement-may-2024
ssahoo··on All of Microsoft's MacBook Air-beating benchmarks
How is the battery performance?
ssahoo··on Ask HN: Is Google Killing Flutter
Flutter had devops? I thought it was just a developer framework. Do they offer any backend service?
ssahoo··on Make an AI device to tell you bedtime stories
Telling rpi to call openai webservice is a good example. May serve as bedtime story teller for adults and lonely people or may make you horney with Scarlett's voice.

However, I this is the last thing we should put in our kids room. As a parent bedtime story is very important to connect with kids to give them sense of bonding and rejuvenating their sleep thoughts. Once they fall asleep with a bot, we know there is no sense of parenting. I'm not even talking about privacy issues.

ssahoo··on Marc Andreessen wants you to stay in school
Theil want you to drop out. https://thielfellowship.org/
ssahoo··on JavaScript's garbage collector is not very ready for machine learning
This is a great opportunity to embrace wasm which is perfect for this task.
ssahoo··on iTerm2 removes AI feature from core, creates separate plugin
While the AI feature wasn't as intrusive as Windows & Microsoft has been, I am glad developers protested a force AI adoption. And also somewhat successful. Only wish enterprise CXO to know where to adopt and where not.
ssahoo··on Microsoft Has Lost Its Mind–$450 for a Keyboard, AI Button Included
Mostly Tech companies.
ssahoo··on Introducing Copilot+ PCs
