Isn't this technically a crime, since they're actively attempting to access a computer system they don't own?

Not sure if things have changed recently, but up until at least 2019 (last time I had to do it iirc) you definitely had to do a "flagpole" (drive through the border and immediately turn back) to change your status in Canada.

It uses Bluetooth to stream audio, but everything else happens through a WiFi connection exposed by the car that the phone automatically pairs with after the Bluetooth handshake.

While that's true, I'd still rather replace a single component rather than turn a whole laptop into e-waste.

Holy crap, I was not prepared for how fast it responded. I just wrote "Just wanted to see how fast you are! Can you write me a quick story about a tiger who lives inside a block of cheese the size of a house?" I pressed Enter, a

Long time customer! I bought one after your original post on HN. Congrats on the milestone. Honestly, it's such a good product and I'm such a bad and inconsistent piano player that I completely forget it exists for months at a tim

I'd love to see that tool.

I realized just a couple weeks ago that I've had my Brother laser printer for 10 years, and I've only changed the toner once -- so long ago that I don't remember when that was.

You're right. I should have included Google in the list!

How many of those are "the exact same product, but better" though? Definitely the iPhone, and possibly Slack. Everything else you listed was a drastic change in the way an existing service (taxis, home media, backups) was delivere

I take that back! It seems to be happening to multiple people using VPNs. My bad. I should have been more charitable.

It's probably a bot account that tried to read the article to come up with a reasonable comment, but TCRF likely serves a "you're a bot, go away" static response page when it's accessed by bots. Pretty funny.

"More up-to-date" meaning more sources that are also up to date like the OP, or meaning that the OP is not up to date? Silly English language!

It would be cool to use something like this or openfov to control OBS to automatically switch between different cameras/scenes when you turn your head. Either multiple cameras, or switching between screenshare/camera if you look d

The same thing happened to me with Opus 4.8 just a few days ago. I was testing a script in a docker container which created a bunch of root-owned files, so Claude couldn't delete them. It tried sudo, but when that didn't work it j

Bots doing what? How would the poster being a bot influence why the post itself makes it to the front page with just 10 points?

That seems like a false equivalence to me, even if we ignore the fact that only 21% of that revenue came from non-US countries. There are enormous chunks of the world where the local equivalent of $1500 is a life-changing amount of money.

The C64 sold "between 12.5 and 17 million units" in its lifetime [0], vs. worldwide PC shipments of "71.5 million units in the fourth quarter of 2025 ." (emphasis mine) [1] It's truly an apples (hehe) to oranges co

I think the comment's saying that they leave the phone at home, and the watch works by itself as long as it was connected to the phone before leaving the house.

I know, it looks incredible. It popped up on my YouTube feed and I got super excited, but then I thought "I bet this is going to be at least $800." I was wrong in the worst possible way.

I actually thought of this (or a previous similar project? The one posted here seems more recent...) just a few days ago while watching the announcement video for this new DJ device, since it seems to use a 5x5 font: https://drif

The problem, unfortunately, is the scale. It's always scale. Humans make all the kinds of mistakes that we ascribe to LLMs, but LLMs can make them much faster and at much larger scale. Models have gotten ridiculously better, they r

All it means is that the PO-32 is not a sampler, it's a synthesizer, so it receives a "preset" for the synth rather than an audio sample.

It depends on what your "currency" is: inference cost vs. models getting dumber/slower with a fuller context.

I find the concept of LLM "brain surgery" fascinating, precisely because of how opaque the network is. One of the first things I did back when llama.cpp first got vision model support was hack the code to zero out (or otherwise mo

Nobody is promoting a product. Simon is just sharing an experiment he attempted. No products being sold here.
