<p>I'm way more ai skeptical than most HN users and I don't think you did anything wrong. Like I said in the reddit thread, the patches are cool. Kudos.</p>

<p>Afaik I think I saw the author say on reddit he used AI to prototype and then rewrote it.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/s/k0dz2WrkCo" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/s/k0dz2WrkCo</a><p>In that thread I suggested he submit it to the ports tree, I'm not sure if he took my advice or came up with the idea on his own. At any rate this is cool.</p>

<p>They port the open source Linux drivers. FreeBSD does this too. Maybe others.<p>Over time there can be periodic drift and out of date drivers until they re-sync, but it usually works pretty well.</p>

<p>I found it's not so bad to do fillets and chamfers as a for loop that gradually increases or decreases a dimension, then put it as a module to make it into a reusable high level primitive.</p>

<p>Openscad feels very comfortable for programmers. Some years ago I tried to use freecad first, and I felt the GUI was getting in the way. (I heard it's gotten better more recently) Declaring geometry in a programming language with variables, functions (err "modules"), for loops etc. is much more intuitive to me.</p>

<p>Came here to comment, my first exposure to NVIDIA was the Riva 128, then I got a Riva TNT 16mb a little later which despite being only 1 generation difference was much faster.<p>I forget when and what my first GeForce card was.  Somehow those earlier ones were imprinted in my memory.  Perhaps because each generation had a unique name, whereas "GeForce" has been common for decades now.<p>I also remember sometime during the dotcom boom, hearing a CNBC anchor struggling to pronounce and explain what Nvidia was.  From the narrow lens of that memory, we are sort of still in that exact same place.</p>

<p>I didn't think I heard about that book; I would think my media diet and bubble would have alerted me.  I looked it up and it came out a few weeks before one of my kids was born, so being busy back then would probably explain it.<p>I will add it to my list.  Thanks.</p>

<p>I think a lot of people would say that we've been in that era for a while.<p>Companies can hire big legal departments to help them avoid accountability to the letter and spirit of various laws. The state can also use its prosecutorial discretion or selectivity in civil cases brought by attorneys general to deprioritize accountability for companies. Contributing to that last point, companies contribute campaign funds and tax base, and they lobby governments as well, and may expect preferential treatment based on all of that.</p>

<p>> Of course if progress continues forever, we'll all end up as uploads in a Matryoshka brain<p>I can't tell if you're joking. There is a group of people who think because they thought something was cool or because it appeared in science fiction, this means it's inevitable. Some of these people are sometimes considered influential thinkers that we should all base the future on. (If you don't, you're behind!)<p>Meanwhile LLMs still don't do really very much, and the only improvement path is "throw more compute at a larger corpus".</p>

<p>A decade old PC didn't come with Windows 7, which shipped 17 years ago. It would have windows 10, which shipped 11 years ago, or conceivably 8.1 but I would doubt it. 4gb ram is also too small for that era.</p>

<p>I don't understand why people are only talking about the ALPR aspect of Flock and similar devices.
