taegee··on Floppy disks turn out to be the greatest TV remote for kids
Nice idea but at that age any screen content is fundamentally bad for your children.
taegee··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)
That sounds like a dystopia.
taegee··on YouTube caught making AI-edits to videos and adding misleading AI summaries
Set your mother tongue to some esoteric language Google has not enough training data on. Then it defaults to the original language.
taegee··on A One-Minute ADHD Test
That doesn't sound right. The hyperactivity can express itself in many ways, as you say – not necessarily physically. Is your practitioner maybe really old? They changed the definition in 1987.

According to DSM‑5‑TR and ICD-11, ADHD is subdivided into three presentations: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined.

taegee··on Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower
Can we build an electric scooter with it?
taegee··on Samsung makes ads on smart fridges official with upcoming software update
Who needs a smart fridge anyway? It cools, and annoys as hell when you leave it open.
taegee··on GrapheneOS is ready to break free from Pixels
Same here. For me the biggest bummer with GrapheneOS is that the promised new back up system is still not even on the horizon and was promised a gazillion years ago.
taegee··on Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
If you have a bunch of coders, just scrape the data. Then turn your back on this greedy maw.

taegee··on Do not download the app, use the website
I hate having 300 apps on my phone (and I can't have them all on my home screen), but unfortunately, they're often much nicer to use than the corresponding websites. They're much faster / snappier as they don't need to load everything.

Even if each click only takes a second to load or wait, it's annoying for many clicks. Then there are all kinds of usability issues, like the page reloading in the middle of a form or process when scrolling up was misinterpreted as a refresh.

However, I'm not talking about apps that just load a webpage.

> as a former LaTeX enthusiast, it's pretty close. It's readable, minimalist.

Really nice! But you still need at least basic justification if you want to relate it to LaTeX. ;)

taegee··on Andrej Karpathy: Software in the era of AI [video]
I can't stop thinking about these agents as Agent Smith, The Architect, etc.
taegee··on Show HN: Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform
