ssahoo··on Microsoft Has Lost Its Mind–$450 for a Keyboard, AI Button Included
I can't justify this as personal expense, but business users who are stuck with windows are going to like this. When paying with corporate expense as i have seen, buyers want the best money can buy.
ssahoo··on Microsoft set to unveil its vision for AI PCs
At this point, Microsoft is obsessed with AI. They think they missed the chance to be the first with internet and mobile, and trying hard to be the forefront of AI fad until it lasts. Force upselling enterprise is their old strategy and and it seems to be working in their favor. And the stock market like AI buzz too. More times you say AI, is better.
ssahoo··on Does OpenAI care about AI Safety?
Yes they do, only if it's competitors AI. if they cared for their own they wouldn't have dismantled the team at openAi or tried to shut Unofficial whistle-blowers by challenging their equity.
ssahoo··on Chrome DevTools now uses Gemini to help with JavaScript Errors in the console
Huh.. someone at Google is just blindly copying whatever Microsoft is enshitting with AI. Nevermind, it's their CEO :)
ssahoo··on Slack AI Training with Customer Data
So in otherwords: we feed our AI your data. We share that with no one else. (Wait until our next TOS update)

What's funny is Prompt injection warning at the bottom.

"Many of LLM applications are susceptible to a form of abuse known as prompt injection. This feature is no different. It is possible to trick the LLM into accepting instructions that are not intended by the developers."

ssahoo··on Demystifying the protobuf wire format
Reddit moved to gRPC and protobuff from Thrift a couple years ago. I wonder how it is going for them. https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditEng/comments/xivl8d/leveling_...

Good. Love the reimplementation in HTML https://webamp.org/
ssahoo··on GPT-4o
Curiously want to know why didn't they create the Windows desktop app first? which is the dominant desktop segment. In fear of competing with Microsoft's copilot?
ssahoo··on Google made a version of ChromeOS that runs on Pixel, including external monitor
I think it could be because stiff competition between chromeos and android team let to this decision. It's not good for consumers. I wish they merge both products into one and focus on what users want.
ssahoo··on Google Chrome's first AI tools
My only wish is that they could be offered as extensions, so I could choose what features I like than AI being shoved down on my throat.
ssahoo··on OpenAI could unveil its Google search competitor on Monday
It will be essentially a bing competitor. They are already doing LLM on search. What is the strategy to compete with Google except ads?
ssahoo··on Microsoft's $1M Vote of Confidence in Rust's Future
You mean from M$'s bucket. It's something for the foundation.
ssahoo··on [dead]
Seriously? US has no consiquences for data-breach. MSFT & Dell are doing this, why Tictok need to be sold then?
ssahoo··on Show HN: Chat with any page offline with LLM. A Chrome extension

Thanks! Hope you like the extension.
ssahoo··on Product Roadmap
@Jay - Thanks for jumping in. What was Dorsey's balance on BlueSky(AT) vs Nostr?
ssahoo··on Product Roadmap
When we started Rittr (Plug https://rittr.club), we challenged ourselves with 3 protocols, AT, ActivityPub and nostr. Everytime we went back to whiteboard on why RSS end Email inbox is better (or simpler) than all of above. We still plan to support ActivityPub eventually to be compatible with Mastodon network but sticking with RSS for now. Even RSS has 3 flavors. :)
ssahoo··on Jack Dorsey says that he's not on the Bluesky board anymore
Plug: We are working towards it. Hope you give https://rittr.club a spin. Instead of reinventing another protocol, we are sticking with plain old RSS
ssahoo··on How to escape Honda's privacy hell
Not only Honda. All new cars to this and sell you data to insurance companies. All new KIA and Hyundais have no option to turn off telemetry. I asked the dealer, they said it can't be done. Don't like it?
ssahoo··on Show HN: Kubernates in Node.js
Also if this was Rust. This would be on the frontpage :)
ssahoo··on Show HN: Kubernates in Node.js
I disagree. Someone just tried samething differently. Go isn't bad, so is nodejs.
ssahoo··on In Argentina, 500K Iris Scanned into Worldcoin
Clearly exploitation of the desparate.
ssahoo··on C isn't a hangover and Rust isn't a cure
Zig is probably not so much popular as go or rust. But it seems like a great middle ground. It interops with existing c code. Even has it own compiler for c. Bun project is one of the major projects using it.
