This is awesome. I just maxxed out my tokens in Shelley, but was able to vibe code this Rails app that lets anyone register an aircraft and then fly it in a synchronized world interfaced through a Garmin G1000 knock off. Sign up (feel free to use a fake email address) and set up a flight now and let's see how many aircraft we can get going! If this is a cool idea let me know and I'll probably end up paying to continue developing this :)

So… hear me out. Could I connect this to an airline’s paid in-flight WiFi network, and then broadcast an open network to effectively open up access to all other passengers for free? If enough WiFi pirates do this on flights perhaps it would kill paid WiFi entirely (just need enough Good Samaritans)

(And yes I know there are other bypasses you can do like spoofing MAC addresses to get around some device count restrictions)

The mmWave functionality requires a glass section on the frame as it can't pass through metals. They've redesigned this on the 17 Pro[1], but likely didn't find a way to integrate into the Air's design.

  When Camera Control was introduced on iPhone 16, Apple moved the 5G mmWave antenna to pass through the back glass of the iPhone, that way it was no longer something you needed to see.

  Now though, with iPhone 17 Pro – that can’t work. The iPhone is now largely made of aluminum, requiring Apple to revert to an old design technique: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough

Pretty amazing how DeepSeek started the visual reasoning trend, xAI featured it in their latest release, and now Anthropic does the same.

Do you know how to actually disable these new features (i.e. the elements that were added within Gmail, Docs, etc.)? I'm not seeing where they can be disabled and Google Workspace support was not able to point me in the right direction either...

$3.37 per CPI Inflation Calculator, though it may be even higher given food has increased above the average.

Can you provide some more information as to what the ERP system is built on? (i.e. open source software, "from scratch", etc?)

I forget where I ran across it, but one interesting adoption of URL design is to make the root of the directory part of the site's domain name. I.e. there was someone's website that was shared on HN, where their name was assembled with the domain name, TLD, and some characters after the first slash:

  firstna.me/lastname/
  firstna.me/lastname/about

  CAPP is a leading industrial distributor. Our team is looking for an additional hire to work on a myriad of pricing and data tasks. We are currently sprinting the processing of manufacturer and vendor product data and pricing, in order to expand our eCommerce offerings and enable all of our product lines to be offered for sale digitally. We have built out tools that use Python and other libraries to help automate data inflow and processing. This position requires working heavily on data cleanup and processing, and thus requires a mix of manual (i.e. Excel) and programmatic (i.e. pandas) work. We run a legacy ERP platform and are in the midst of a major migration to a new platform with powerful eCommerce capability slated for the early fall. Over time, there is tons of opportunity for advancement and growth based on merit. If you are interested in working for a stable company with a startup-like technology team where your changes directly impact business growth and customer satisfaction, we'd like to hear from you.

  Please note: Prospective employees must reside in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or North Carolina.

  If interested, send an email to careers@cappusa.com and reference this post. Thank you.

There’s a cool one I’ve used called MitoSheet[0]. Runs locally and has some great features, though it doesn’t support TSV files last time I checked. It’s being actively developed still. I believe it was developed with YCombinator funding.

Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not but an entertaining example of everyone going straight to the comments (myself included). (for those who didn't see this is link is the same as the main post these comments are under).

I'm guessing this works exactly the same way as Apple's "Findable After Power Off" feature [1]. If the phone "dies" the battery still has some reserve to display the "charging needed" screen when the power button is pushed, along with sending location. Additionally, it can use the Find My network [2] where other devices that are powered on can relay the proximity device's location using their own location.

With Apple's Find My solution, when logging in via iCloud.com there is a 2FA bypass link to the Find My web app. If you want to access other iCloud web apps, 2FA is required, but not for Find My. A nice quality of life feature that has probably gotten thousands of people out of a bind.

Ask HN: Favorite ERP?

A bit niche, but would love to hear thoughts on ERP software that you’ve enjoyed working with or administering. Popular examples off the top of my head include: SAP, Oracle/NetSuite, Odoo (OpenERP), Epicor

Thanks.
