I remember in 2015 saying on HN Teslas will never truly drive themselves and was laughed off this site. Still not there a decade later and now Musk says they are moving on to humanoid robots, another thing that’s never going to really happen.

I have listened to podcasts for over 20 years now and COVID ruined them. Ads became unbearable and media corporations flooded the zone with repacked TV and radio programs. These companies dint know that podcasting is a different thing.

My contribution to help fix this is earsay.fm. It’s an iOS podcast client with 100% in device ad detection and skipping.

Show HN: I vibe-coded a working macOS driver for an obsolete laser engraver

https://github.com/leftouterjoins/EpilogDriver

The Epilog Zing lasers were 50w desktop industrial lasers from circa 2010. They never had support outside of windows.This was based off of LibLaserCut which is a Java project that reverse engineered these machine's protocols. This is a CUPS driver implemented in Swift and C.Maybe this is a small example of AI doing something positive, like breathing new life into old machines :)
