It's a pretty normal thing to do for small LCD screens. Linux has had SPI framebuffer support via fbtft subsystem (in staging tree now, previously was out of tree) for well over a decade. It works quite well.
I was hesitant to post my comment. It's the first time I've complained about this on HN I think. And it's not only about the flow of the words at all, it's more about reading something that no one wrote. Especially if it's about a project that seems interesting, having AI written text tells me it's maybe not the passion project I otherwise would think it was.
Very cool! I think the hype around “agents are so good that you never actually need to see the underlying commands they are running or interact with the terminal session that they’re running” misses out on a lot of very important use cases, particularly around long running processes that may be shared across multiple agents. This will be very cool to see how best practices evolve!
We live in a world where ads are the primary way information about products enters the information sphere. That seems like something we should fix to me, but it's where we are, and it means if ads are well enough targeted it can be rational for an individual to want to consume them.
Also I think people pay much of the price of ads even if they don't view them, via increased prices. The trillion dollar advertising industry money ultimately is paid by consumers. It is a necessary cost to try to launch a new product because we are reliant on it for information and because all your competitors are advertising.
Repeatedly saying the same thing with slightly different phrasing: "Flipper One isn't an upgrade to Flipper Zero", "Flipper Zero and Flipper One are completely different projects", "Flipper One doesn't replace Flipper Zero"
Of course we need infrastructure. It’s annoying when a project that seems like a net good is held up due to environmental concerns, but this planet is very beautiful and I’d like to be able to continue to enjoy it.
This is straightforward in the first instance, but how do you see maintenance of those projects going forward - especially adding more complex features ?
I can see one way forward being to prototype them in python and convert.
In instances where context is important, I have been including a summary with call to action at the start of the message, then include details below to hopefully eliminate back and forth. It helps me be more clear with my point, and most people once they have an action only use the context for reference later.
The tons of python code would be great training data if there was any consistency across the ecosystem. Yet every project I've touched required me to learn it's unique style.
Then I'd imagine they practically poisoned half the training set because python2 is subtly different.
Python is such a weird language. Lazy imports are a bandaid for AI code base monstrosities with 1000 imports (1% of which are probably Shai Hulud now).
And now even type imports are apparently so slow that you have to disable them if unused during the normal untyped execution.
If Instagram or others wants a professional language, they should switch to Go or PHP instead of shoehorning strange features into a language that wasn't built for their use cases.
I don't like youtube gemini summaries. whenever I have asked gemini about detailed comprehensive report on a long hour podcasts, it always refuses. hence claude is my go report generation AI.
i did this with aws kms. i had a root key that encrypted & decrypted data keys, which were unique for each customer. those data keys then encrypted & decrypted sensitive customer info. so called envelope encryption
It does matter because of the side effects (pollution, etc.). The environment and how it affects humanity is a complex system with many variables. Both generation and consumption are in there.
I find helpful ads on Google Search sometimes, and it can be the easiest way to get results, but most of the time, ads (and SEO) ruin search accuracy to the point that it's becoming totally useless
It is exhausting to always have to read word salads with little content.
Every single fucking article with 20 lines of introduction before you get a chance for actual content. LLM slop then dilutes the information, and LLM slop always read the same way. You know, how easy it is to spot LLM generated content, it is actually refreshing when you can tell it's a human.
>We want to train a specialized AI model that knows Flipper One's internals and applications inside out, so general-purpose models won't cut it. We invite the community to get involved.
I think a general purpose model would actually cut it pretty well if it has access to proper documentation and search. Since everything will be OSS, the model can have "full" introspection of the system.
Many silicon vendors, when providing said binary blobs to a device OEM or even just documentation or source code for the binary blobs, will make companies agree to a license or other legal terms which prohibits reverse engineering. Often the direct recipient of the binary blobs (the OEM of the device) cannot legally let their employees nor contractors perform the reverse engineering.
Generally, unless a similar license or legal terms are required to be agreed to by the end user, nothing stops the end user from reversing said binary blobs. But before you attempt this, be sure you fully understand every legal document which was presented to you by the device vendor. Click-through EULAs included.
