Speaking of, some of you may remember "ch.at" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44849129

It is now upgraded with agent messaging: https://ch.at/board/feed

Still usable over DNS ;)

I thought the Macbook Pro LCDs were bright enough, high-res-enough, and fast enough to make a very accurate CRT simulation. Here it is: https://github.com/baragona/crt-xdr

It looks so much like a CRT to me. It looks like pressing your face up to a TV to see the individual phosphors. Try setting "signal" to dropped image and viewing some images. It looks like an old TV.

Bottom line, whatever you think a CRT is doing, you can probably simulate it quite accurately.

I'm a bit confused - when i see these signups, they look like this to me:

I wonder how they plan to detect it something is LLM generated. I think what this leads to is people just working hard to make their outputs appear human generated.

I would also like to toss my project into the ring, which also allows mixing most real-world Rust & Go packages together, on runtime & syntax compatible level. https://github.com/deepai-org/omnivm

Pardon the sloppy readme - it actually does work :)

It's true. Also, if you despise bloat, you may like my JS-free LLM site: https://ch.at/

I wonder if Windows NT could work? I think it had a MIPS port?

It's a fascinating article and trend to me. I've been rather obsessed with the amazing technology of text-to-image generation since 2017, when state of the art was an LSTM+GAN and resulted in a blurry image. Now that the technology basically works great, it's just upsetting to a lot of people. I kind of think of AI like making things out of plastic - works pretty well, but basically always resented. Notice that the article couldn't identify anything wrong with the generated image except for how it was made and how no one got paid.

I think the font is mimicking old Apple ads, eg: https://i.insider.com/5bf8592eb73c284de50e2f28

This is super cool. If you're interested in this, you might enjoy this proof of concept as well: https://github.com/deepai-org/omnivm

It instead embeds a bunch of runtimes onto the same OS thread.

What do you think is the incentive to LLM post on HN (or any site?)

It makes sense - i build something very similar for my company over the last couple weeks :)

I have a tweak that allows pasting images to claude code over SSH:

How it works:

PTY Interception: It creates a pseudo-terminal (PTY) to wrap the SSH process, allowing it to sit as a "man-in-the-middle" between your keyboard and the remote shell.

Bracketed Paste Detection: It monitors stdin for "bracketed paste" sequences (the control codes terminals send when you Cmd+V or drag-and-drop a file).

The "Hook": When a paste occurs, it pauses execution and scans the text for local macOS file paths.

Auto-Sync: If a local path is found, it immediately syncs that file to the remote server (using the provided SSH key) in the background.

Transparent Forwarding: Once the sync is complete, it forwards the original text to the shell.

You can drag and drop a file from your local Finder into a remote SSH session, and the file is automatically uploaded to the server before the path appears on the command line. Also works with copy paste, screnshots.

Like others here, I disagree completely. I find them very fun, almost too fun, like intellectual crack. The craziest ideas are now within reach.
