They compared against 5.6-terra on the model card: https://deepmind.google/models/model-cards/gemini-3-7-flash/

Vinod is insane. You can hear more of his really bad takes on his recent Sam Harris podcast episode: https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/479...

timdorron Antigravity 2.0 Tops the OpenSCAD Architectural 3D LLM Benchmark

It does. It uses go-keyring under the hood, which has its own issues with certain systems.

If you're on WSL, getting dbus to work is a PITA. There may be other OS-level issues that folks are running into.

timdorron Show HN: Live Sun and Moon Dashboard with NASA Footage

"Live" from the sun, minus the ~500 lightseconds it takes to get here :)

timdorron Shipmap.org

Like the sea version of FlightRadar24: https://www.flightradar24.com/45.15,-57.99/3

timdorron Fix HDMI-CEC weirdness with a Raspberry Pi and a $7 cable

https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/amp

Sonos makes this specifically. Has an RCA and HDMI input, along with being a Sonos device for streaming audio.

The only downside is the price.

timdorron No Code

Yes

timdorron No Code

Still my favorite personal project: https://github.com/timdorr/-

Thanks to hard work like this: https://github.com/timdorr/-/commit/9e5a571abd3fc4f8714e8c40...

timdorron Going down the rabbit hole of Git's new bundle-URI

Sure you can: https://github.com/timdorr/-/commit/9e5a571abd3fc4f8714e8c40...

timdorron Deploy from local to production (self-hosted)

Nope, it just copies over a hand-made Caddyfile and restarts a docker container that you need to already be running: https://github.com/bypirob/airo/blob/1a827a76f2254e5ca4f4ba4...

This looks extremely barebones and makes a large number of assumptions in its current state. This is better as a Show HN after some more dev work has been completed.

timdorron Trae: An AI-powered IDE by ByteDance

Even better is nothing at all: https://github.com/timdorr/-

Not even a commit: https://github.com/timdorr/-/commit/9e5a571abd3fc4f8714e8c40...

timdorron Bypassing airport security via SQL injection

Based on the language on their site about requiring an existing CASS subscription, my guess is there was no approval at all. It appears this person has knowledge of the CASS/KCM systems and APIs, and built a web interface for them that uses the airline's credentials to access the central system. My speculation is that ARINC doesn't restrict access by network/IP, so they wouldn't directly know this tool even exists.

Some quick googling shows the FlyCASS author used to work for a small airline, so this may piggyback off of his prior experience working with these systems for that job. He just turned it into a separate product and started selling it.

The biggest failure here is with ARINC for not properly securing such a critical system for flight safety.

timdorron Show HN: Wat – Deep inspection of Python objects

I'm not a Python dev. Why would they do this? This is giving vibes of malware embedded into npm packages.

timdorron Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice

Scarlett Johansson doesn't have social media accounts: https://nypost.com/2023/04/04/why-scarlett-johansson-is-not-...

Stuff from her comes via press agents, which is generally sent directly to reporters.

The bottom line of the post says as such (sorry if it was edited in after you posted)

timdorron Is Grok Basically Just an OpenAI Wrapper?

It was a huge surprise that ChatGPT is popular?

timdorron Google releases Bard to a limited number of users in the US and UK

Are they?

   London - 8.8m - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London
   Birmingham - 1.1m - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham
   Manchester - 552k (2.7m urban region) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester
   Glasgow - 632k (1m in the urban region) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow

They're not strictly accurate, but are reasonably close. Also, those Wikipedia numbers are from 2021.

timdorron Tesla finally breaks and offers round steering wheel on Model S/X

You don't have to keep your hands on the yoke during hard turns with the FSD beta. Even with a wheel, it would be hard to signal the right amount of pressure without disengaging when their is a lot of movement going on.

Intel's AMX specifically hasn't yet shipped, but will be coming with their new Sapphire Rapids Xeon chips this year.

timdorron Poll: Contractors, what is your hourly rate

I suppose we can find a consultant for that in this thread.

timdorron Apple contributes to OBS to support screen capture using ScreenCaptureKit

It's in the commit message, so it will get stored: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/5875/commits/5...

timdorron Apple contributes to OBS to support screen capture using ScreenCaptureKit

That branch is on a different fork (PatTheMav's), so they wouldn't be able to do that in this case.

timdorron HTTP Toolkit

Does this work with cert pinning on Android? I was only ever able to bypass that by rooting my device and installing an Xposed module to bypass the pin check.

timdorron Winamp source code leak

This appears to work (for now): https://web.archive.org/web/20210418214109if_/https://codelo...

timdorron Remix – A framework focused on web fundamentals and modern UX

I like to think of like this:

I use Next.js for my marketing site.

I use Remix for my web app.

Next is good if you just need to get some HTML on the page. Remix is good if you need a connect to a database or backend API.

timdorron Amazon Ion – A richly-typed, self-describing, hierarchical serialization format

Actually, it only took them 4-ish years: https://amzn.github.io/ion-docs/news/2016/04/21/amazon-open-...

timdorron Launch HN: Accord (YC W20) – Repeatable sales and onboarding for B2B startups

Is there any place on your site to see what this actually looks and functions? I see a lot of descriptions of the problems and generalities on what you're doing to solve them, but little of the actual specifics. I'm getting the sense this is sort of a collaborative Asana-like product, but primarily for task tracking across projects created from templates.

Something like a demo video would go a long way for me, a non-salesperson, to understand what kind of product this is. How am I going to interact with it? What exactly is it capable of?

timdorron How does apt render its fancy progress bar?

They use this package under the hood: https://github.com/jdxcode/smooth-progress

It uses glyphs of boxes that have varying widths. When joined together, they appear as a solid bar.
