Oh, it's some different AT protocol (some distributed mambojambo) than Hayes AT protocol.

Or you know what, just use built-in dictation. MacOS would be the last platform where I vibe-build my dictation-app for.

That would be oddly precise. More like "up to 50", or depending on speaker, "up to 100". /s

Don't forget that US prices usually do not include the VAT, while EU prices usually do include respective VAT.

New Tamron lenses have built-in usb-c port close to the lens mount. The utility just replicates what official Windows/Mac software does - not much, configuration of focus-by-wire, corrections, button functions.

503. Serving websites is a solved problem since 30 years. Even RPi powered via GPIO pins should be able to serve that website... /s

What is special about this? Does it cost $20? Is it a cheap smart phone (why do they call it a hybrid phone?) targetting India (mentioning of cricket)?

Someone had an idea, neat idea, but solved 10 years ago already. Edit: GPT-5.5 says: "The hidden text is “HAPPY HUMAN.” The outlined decoy text is “SORRY ROBOT.” Blurring or viewing it from farther away reveals the hidden message.&quot

Is it encryption, or is it a synthetic language? If latter, then I had this idea 3 months ago [0]... Stop talking to GPTs in human languages, use a synthetic more optimal language, that is rendered by "frontend GPT". [0]: https:&

All of it. AI is magnificent in hands of a skilled coder. And absolutely crap in hands of someone who has no clue how computers work.

Maybe it's their business model? Sell to bunch of people and hook them in, then "get hacked", whoops sorry. Edit: honestly I'm flagging this post. This really looks like fishing for customers to make them vulnerable in f

Pinky promise? How do you prove that what I download from you is actually what you promise you've build (and that SBOM is right)? Is this certified with some digital signature? From my threat attack model, you're just yet another

> just without vulnerabilities You surely mean "without known and reported vulnerabilities". I doubt you're proactively fixing the world across thousands of software packages /s

I truly don't get this. What is the security policy here? Why should I trust images built by minimus.io? How do I know they don't contain malicious software? What's the point?

A) How is it related? B) I cannot just in my phone select caller ID I want, "phones in Poland allow to call you 'from'" is not true. It's just spoofing as in anywhere else and requires non-trivial technical knowledg

It's kinda awesome, the DDR prices will go extremely down (lower than before the bubble), and it will be spring time for self-hosted opensource models, cause people will be able to afford the hardware. We just need to wait for the peak

Seems the driver is DDR5 memory, DDR4 servers are not affected from my quick look.

Seems like it doesn't apply to older machines, I have AX41-NVMe, it's not on the list, I also didn't get any notification from them (and they usually send some) - no need to panic if you're longterm customer.

It's ('is/was) amazing! On launch date I've spent good couple of hours there. The execution is magnificent. Realtime rave in minecraft-like world. Somehow this needs business model to keep it actually alive and well.

I don't hate it. I'm just not compatible with it I guess. It's like GIMP in its early days - has most of the features of competition (Lightroom vs Darktable, Photoshop vs GIMP), even more features, and tweaks, and more knobs.

Edit: Still garbage, required 100-lines script and LD_* shim to make it even run at Linux Mint 22.3 on AMD CPU + GPU. UX is even worse than Darktable, don't bother, not even close to Lightroom. At this point we need a Kickstarter campa

The Lightroom competitor working on Linux is a huge news. (Darktable doesn't count, it's a scientific software with some wobbly UI).

I'm confused. Never heard of Bun until a few days ago here on HN. It's some nodejs wrapper thingy, written in Zig, and someone decided to use LLM to rewrite it in Rust. Is this a big deal? Who is even using this software? Why is t
