A large part of this project was my personal learning. Ultimately I didn't improve the functionality of the device by a large margin; instead I learned a lot about how these devices are built. If I'd let Claude write replacent fir

This is definitely something to be aware of. Installing this firmware definitely invalidates the StVO (though I can always flash the original firmware back). Personally I am morally sound with replacing the firmware of the display unit as t

Yep, this is the case. Nine frames are transmitted with the first frame containing a sequence number and the first five bytes, followed by seven frames containing just data, and a final frame containing the last three bytes of data, and a t

Heya, I tried using slint first, but slint needs even more flash, and an allocator on top. Just adding slint (with an empty UI) exhausted my binary size limit.

I find I've not read HN as much over the last two years due to this. I think I see one interesting article a day at most now.

I've used https://aisler.net/en (based in Aachen) plenty of times. I like their quality and I was able to pull off some stupidly toleranced layouts. (This is as a hobbyist building some one-off circuit boards). I haven

FYI: Aisler is the PCB manufacturer and assembler (based in Aachen iirc). LibrePCB is CAD software.

> But it turns out there's all sorts of delightful data structures that you can only express with unsafe in Rust. Intrusive doubly linked lists are the coolest thing ever. I don't mean this to be a gotcha, but I think it's

I really enjoy using Rel8 ( https://rel8.readthedocs.io/ ), so much so that I reimplemented it in Rust ( https://github.com/simmsb/rust-rel8 ). For me I find it's an excellent step up from a plain SQL

This entire paper smells of LLM, I'm sure even the most distinguished academic would refrain from using notation to prove that the SIP status cannot change during operation.

I'm suspicious of this prediction given the curl project's experiences...

Months if the firmware properly sleeps.

I don't see much motivation for fixing that when I can purchase a nrf52xx Bluetooth Beacon on aliexpress for €4 and flash it with firmware that pretends to be 50 different airtags, rotating every 10 minutes, and therefore bypassing all

It's probably less damaging to recommend abusing Xanax than recommending using a LLM.

How exactly does distilling a censored model produce an uncensored model?

This is like saying Haskell doesn't have immutability because it has the state monad, or that rust doesn't because you can shadow with let. Data is immutable and thats much more important than whether local variables can be modifi

It's also becoming possible to have transparent rigid PCBs as of quite recently: https://www.pcbway.com/blog/News/Transparent_Rigid_PCBs_Laun... Naturally it does mean you can't have a ground pour, so th

Eh, Emacs isn't really a system where broken behaviour goes unnoticed. It either works as you expect or something isn't working correctly.

Nope, but it's not so different to irregular plural forms or verbs in english. Afaik: At some point in the history of the language there would(?) have been rules for these nouns, but not today.

This paper reads like it was written by an AI trained on plagiarized undergrad assignments.
