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."

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".

Any examples of bigger and practical projects written in hica?

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 future.

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 liability - one single service to hack all your "safe" images.

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 knowledge.

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. But it misses USER EXPERIENCE part, it's basically unusable, unless you use it since early days.

If Darktable had a grant/GSOC just to improve UX, it could be a valid competitor to Lightroom. Currently, it's not. It's bunch of Python/Lua scientific code with some UI, that processes pictures.

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 campaign to make Lightroom run in Wine/Proton (no, no matter how much you try, it will not work so far). Edit: or GSOC to support Darktable to improve their UX.

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 this big?

Hey, it loads! Unlike ~10% of pages on first page of HN, hugged to death.

Oh wait, never mind. I guess I won't be signing up for electricity, then?

You ~~will~~ should be picking up your phone and calling the electrical company to confirm and to tell them their links are nonsense. Couldn't bother with AI agent on phone, or 60 min waiting queue to a human? Fuck it, don't pay the bill, figure it out later.

Flagged, there is no content in this article.

It's fine to mature projects if they're good enough according to author's point of view. No point of fixing something that's not broken. No point of adding features that no one needs.

Lego is quite impressive, but most of their parts are static and not moving at 500-2000rpm, so they're optimizing for a different problem.

Oh I meant without USB4 enclosure ofc, PCIe5 directly. It's truly the best consumer-level SSD available around.

It beats my previous desktop's RAM speed, what a time to live in.

I bought this one when upgrading my desktop, it indeed delivers what it promises. 14.5GB/s on my tiny random desktop, it's impressive. Everything feels so instantaneous, my Linux desktop finally feels like a Mac :)

It's quite fun area, I used to work in related technologies. Some of the countries maintain their own networks, but there are also commercial networks - so called reference stations that provide RTK/Network-RTK, basically your GPS can be augmented with a model based on those reference stations (which are ground GPS/GNSS receivers with very well known position) and improve accuracy to even 1cm (based on differences from your GPS position vs positions in network compared to well known positions).

Why do those devices need 3GB RAM and 8-core CPU if they well, show books? There is no hurry there. Give us full-blown terminal and ssh/mosh at least.

In such case, soon we will need licenses-for-AI, just like with guns... There is no way a smart person wouldn't write this as a joke or an art project, but for serious.

You don't have to explain that to me :D I'm agreeing with your critical comment before.

I'm just trying to make any sense why someone thought it would be any good idea to do memory->QR->MP4 encoding, instead of some sane format.

"Okay, so this project encodes memories as QR codes within an MP4 file. And if I'm correct, I believe it's doing some sort of vector search based on the text embedding of the data to find the frame within the MP4 file."

I'm just as puzzled as you. What the heck, did people forgot how to encode data?

Unless it's actually smart, in sense QR codes carry some limited amount of data, MP4 does compression introducing artifacts and losing some data, QR codes can recover from some (well from a lot) loss of data, repeat. So it's DB with natural low-passing of data. Conceptually cool, kinda how memory update process worked in TV Series "Travelers" for Historians.

Or you know, I'm hearing SQLite is kinda nice and does not need encoding/decoding to-from QR-videos.
