For example: WhatsApp or Crash Bandicoot (1996)?

To be honest, I think possibility to work and travel is con rather than perk of current times.

I feel like AGI test would be sense of humor. Somehow I cannot force any LLM to output any even normal level joke.

Ask HN: "Bible" like books in any field

j1000 — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:19:53 +0000

What’s the go-to “bible” book in any field that can take someone from beginner to intermediate—in that field, whether it’s programming, gardening, or welding?

For example: Mixology -> Cocktail Codex by Alex Day

What kind of problem is this solving? Why would I install spyware on my machine? lmao

Ask HN: What's solution to periodic Deep Research using LLM?

j1000 — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 08:11:38 +0000

Hi, what's current solution for Deep Research that will run in defined interval. I wanted to use OpenAI Deep Research model but API is extremely confusing. So maybe there is something else more generic and lean? Like I don't want to be vendor dependant (so any config on 3rd party ui is out of the scope). I'm also happy to code long standing solution but I need place where to start. Cheers

How devs can create something like this with normal time constrains? I couldn't squeeze this kind of project having day to day 9 to 5 job as dev.

j1000 — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 09:46:35 +0000

I thought about this for a moment, reminds me of ANOM company. But isn't GraphaneOS open source?

Changing USB pins layout sounds like interesting idea.

I was always thinking it was a feature not a bug

Finally some common sense here. This is exactly my thoughts, how come in age of instant information flow people cannot gather together under one idea. How French Revolution could happen without Messenger and WhatsUp? People had to walk and talk about idea.

AI CEOs are talking like they are oracles but they just need to please stakeholders.

Ask HN: Do custom ROMs exist for electric cars, for example Teslas?

j1000 — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:29:37 +0000

I always wondered, in age of almost digital cars, is custom ROM a thing? Like root access and custom features?

Sorry, but I was thinking that Apple was forced to allow side load? And now you're telling me that Good Guy Google is disallowing this? How this is legally possible?
