tr33house··on Codex Computer Use

Looks like it's only for osx right now and not available in europe

tr33house··on Google releases Gemma 4 open models
Thank you for the video. It was super helpful. the 20g version was clearly struggling but the 10g version was flying by. I think it was probably virtualized memory pages that were actually on disk causing the issue. Perhaps that and the memory compression.
tr33house··on Japan Post launches 'digital address' system
When I was in college, I'd come up with a similar concept for creating addresses for the developing world. For those that don't know, most of the world actually doesn't have any address and the governments have no plans in place to solve this.

Basically have a third party DNS like company and all it would do would be digital addressing. Since we would also deliver the mail, there was the added benefit of not sharing your actual address, temporarily sharing it, having alternatives based on day, kind etc and potentially just sharing your phone number as your address etc etc

Looking back, this would've been a great company but one that almost no investor would fund

tr33house··on I gave up on self-hosted Sentry (2024)
enjoyable read. thanks for sharing
tr33house··on Show HN: I created a PoC for live descriptions of the surroundings for the blind
This was a great read. At this point, any org should assume on-device models are public
tr33house··on Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices
$80!! EC2 is a scam
tr33house··on Just for Fun (2022)
When I was younger around the 2000s, there was a movement that was called "because I can" or something like that. This reminds me of that
tr33house··on 2M users but no money in the bank
First time I've heard about them. I hope this helps them get a bigger donation pool and support from similarly minded organizations
tr33house··on Cyber Scarecrow
this +100 I can't just let some random exe run on my machine with nothing but claims from the author.

In my head, I'm also wondering why a botnet wouldn't just want to take over such a machine because they know for sure that it's a scarecrow. But security by obscurity is no way to instill trust here

tr33house··on Apple announces ability to download apps directly from websites in EU
Wow! Apple does Apple again. Just carved the exception to the EU market. I was hoping these pushes would stir changes across the globe but I guess the market size is too big especially the US market
tr33house··on Ask HN: Did you turn off Google activity tracking?
Surprisingly enough, I actually _want_ mine turned on. I normally look through when I found a particular site and just can't remember what it was but vaguely remember the dates or some other information about them. I'm happy Google is even sharing these controls but I would assume anything that's deleted here is a soft delete on their system
tr33house··on GitHub: Incident with Actions (Again)
This is materially impacting us. We were just about to launch a feature and have a call with customers in a few minutes :cry: The release is blocked on deploy (managed by GH Actions) so I'm literally doing a build and eventually k8s deploy from my machine
tr33house··on Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today?
I had a few [datetime].replace(year=[current year]+n) in python where n is not divisble by 4 e.g. 2,10

This is in code we use for scheduling

tr33house··on Satya Nadella uses an IBM AS/400 in 1993
In 93, I was a baby. I'm now at least a Senior Eng in many orgs. It's impressive, at the very least, that Satya stayed in Microsoft that long
tr33house··on Show HN: Autotab – An AI-powered Chrome extension to create Selenium scripts
Awesome. I'm mostly curious what the path to monetization for this is
tr33house··on DHH: The price of managed cloud services
DHH shares about how HEY dropped its cloud bill by an many orders of magnitude. They're spending about 5K a month amortized!
tr33house··on The price of managed cloud services
I'm actually glad DHH is sharing all this in public. Hard to argue with real evidence. Just shows how powerful marketing and peer pressure are: that the whole tech world was convinced to migrate to public clouds is kinda crazy
tr33house··on Weird A.I. Yankovic: a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning
wish they had something for Linux
tr33house··on Euros Bills Drawn Not to Represent Real Bridges. He Built Them All on This River
Just learned of the 500 euro bill today. I need to fly to Europe more.

Neat project

tr33house··on “csinc”, the AArch64 instruction you didn’t know you wanted
would totally love to read a modern `Hacker's Delight`. My mind was so blown away the first time I learned about low-level optimizations. I wish I did more of that on a day to day
tr33house··on How much would it have cost if GPT-4 had written your code
now, was this written ... by GPT-4?
tr33house··on Everything you always wanted to know about mathematics (2013) [pdf]
is there a service that can print, bind and mail PDFs with as many pages as this? It'll be useful for some of the manuals I have to read too
tr33house··on Regent – Electric coastal travel
how much is one of these going for?
tr33house··on The end of the accounting search
I've used waveapps for my consulting business and it works great
tr33house··on Most of my skills are now worth nothing, but 10% are worth 1000x
you really got me there
tr33house··on The drama in trying to convert election PDFs to Spreadsheets
I'd tried something like this with the Kenyan election but our setup was to use OCR (google cloud) -> text -> parse -> sqlite

We started late so the results were out when we finished but I think it'll be a good idea to develop software that can parse the PDF results and display them faster than the electoral bodies can. In Kenya, and Nigeria, the delays cause a lot of anxiety

tr33house··on The “Build Your Own Redis” Book Is Completed
I believe this book is such an explanation. At least for the key-value store persistence bit
tr33house··on Digitec Galaxus now displays warranty score and return rate
imagine if this was on Amazon! I really hope this catches on!
tr33house··on Show HN: I'm a doctor and made a responsive breathing app for stress and anxiety
awesome. Looking forward to trying this on Android!
tr33house··on Bitwarden Acquires Passwordless.dev
I like where passwordless.dev is going. However, I don't think I'd like to build a business on top of that. Is there a similar implementation that's open-source that doesn't depend on a third party?
