That wouldnt be that much different than current CNN/labeling methods used on medical imaging. Last time I got a ct scan the paperwork had the workstation specs and the models/nueral network techniques used.

Crazy to keep seeing PThorpe from Primes Discord on HNs front page. I hope youre doing alright in there.

lmao, I was just going to say. This is going to do the opposite of what it intends for me.

luck in terms of natural intelligence and focus. But generally people can approve their ability to avoid falling down the "wells of distraction". This year I set time filters for apps on my phone and its made a stark difference. Even though I can turn off "work mode" to get around it, that little reminder has saved me hundreds of hours as I usually just put down the phone when I see it.

Prostate cost nothing now in your 30s too

Why would anyone bother with Apple. Let their product deteriorate and die. It only takes one product to get people off iphone and theyre (tim) cooked.

Doesnt CGNAT make these methods obselete though? All my webscraping is proxied through my phone and I rarely get IP blocked and im very aggressive even on CF protected sites.

That's neat, could you explain how you achieved that?

I tried a year or so ago and had to round trip to my Android over mobile data so it was too high latency for what I needed. If there's a way to connect to a phone on the same LAN/WiFi but scrape using its mobile network I would be very interested.


You can pick up a pulled laptop modem like the T99W175 from China for a low price, drop it into a USB enclosure (you’ll be limited to USB 2.0 speeds), and hook it up to OpenWrt. Or grab a GL.iNet GL-X3000 - the Quectel RM520N is already on board and runs over PCIe, so it’s quicker.

Then you can have basically unlimited IPs.

Android messes with your traffic far more than a bare modem (there's unavoidable NAT for one), and it has tighter thermal limits, so higher latency is expected.


You can run an ssh server in termux and run whatever programs you want from there.

There's several options for storage, as well: - connect an external drive via USB (The /Android/media directory on both the internal and external SD card is generally accessible from both termux and other apps on the phone) - if you're rooted you can mount a network storage in termux (or system-wide, but then you have to figure out sandboxing) - if you're not rooted, mount in reverse (mount your phone storage over the network)


Yes, if you're interested its not too difficult, but I don't really want to put it here on HN (my business kinda relies on these methods, and I'm increasingly worried they will start working on this problem). If you email me at mynameisamodel@gmail.com I'll send you details.

Hot take. Maybe SWEs making lawyer money was always unsustainable.

Some code is generated on the fly, like llm ui/ux that writes python code to do math.

Idk kinda different tho.


What is now possible that wasnt before, other than writing really really bad code fast?

This has always been one of the secret sauces that some startups use. Sometimes you just need a semi-functional app at the right place at the right time.
