I got a fully open wifi stack for esp32 c3 working, no blobs, no rom calls, allregisters figured out, everything readable pure C, all calibration flows working. I need help to figure out how release this without having any legal issues.
We are all AI pilots, do not complain nor look back, just focus. Distrubution is the moat, rather you create one or mine the idea that will become no brainer to an existing one.

Ask HN: How to release an open no blob WiFi stack for ESP32 c3?

I recently created a small wifi lab bench to create a no blob open wifi stack for esp32 c3. It is working now and code is fully readable including all the calibration jazz. To avoid any legal issues what is the best way to release such kind of a sw stack? I already know it will require a new fcc but fully blind on how to relase, any help or directions welcome.

Modern commercial airline pilots manually fly less than 10 percent of a typical flight, using automated systems for the vast majority of the journey.
(Tree was full of apples before, easy to grab, and no one even knew it. Later we started to jump, climb and find new ways that was progressive and very exciting. All a sudden they figure out the tree that was already running out of apples, so what. Find a new one that requires tools/skills not much people has and still valuable, it is much harder to say but you are already one of the people who can and should. Your 12 year old of your self used curiosity, passion, what ever the motive is still there, just kick start it again, find your new AOL, do your first new Geocities level project that matches today's tech.That means imo it is time for you to train your first llm, dig into how inference works. Or write your first arduboy game for fun. The new challenging stuff that they can not touch any time soon hopefully that will trigger back your curiosity and passion. Best of luck! My 2 cents.)

Self promotion posts are one thing, not sure if it applies to the examples you gave, good luck if your hn user name and your github user name is same when you have low karma.

soon AI agents will require driving license like special licenses to get on to certain apis or networks. I am waiting the day AI agents will need enough karma to do anything useful for humans.
not career altering but worth to mention "Head First Series" when it comes to tech books.

The model and the harness go hand in hand, in my opinion; other models aren't interchangeable here for quality results.

Re:Ask HN: Starting a New Role with Ada on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @05:02PM (#47158631)
I would try Claude Code with an Ada LSP server. Use AI to get the high-level architecture diagrams, question the codebase. You can write a new skill with all your findings about Ada best practices. Also try CodeRabbit if it already supports Ada. Congratulations on the new job, best of luck.
Re:LT6502: A 6502-based homebrew laptop on Monday February 16, 2026 @12:41PM (#47037864)
I stop seeing those issues after starting using Bambulab X1 3d printer, it just works 99 percent of the time. My old ender 3 v2 had those issues due to bed changing its shape during printing(thin metal changing shape in micro level due to temp and mechanical stress with 4 knobs pulling down), not sticking well, not enough fast cooling or cooling effects bed temp profile, way off even with auto level probes. Also open 3d printer with bunch of air flow is a killer for those prints. OP should try Bambulab like enclosed more accurate 3d printer from a local 3d print shop or a hackerspace after locking the design and enclosure iterations.
Can this be used for Haller index?

Recently my family member start to deal with Pectus excavatum, the xray provider and the doctor were not on the same platform and witnessed doctor doing manual calculation for it. I wished there was a way do it with web upload and get the result right a way that is error prone and accurate.

Can already see a nice web based AI app builder on the way, also can be used to quickly try apps before pushing to the device as interactive app store.

Please watch out some qemu targets for Cortex m0 or m3, increasing ram from linker out of supported ranges will cause random crashes. Would love to contribute if you are looking for people to crash some issues.

Awesome effort btw.

Re:Ask HN: How to get started with robotics as a hobbyist? on Thursday February 12, 2026 @01:16PM (#46992712)
I would always prefer to start with a kit that will work right a way end to end, than focus on each problem subset to do deep dive. so101 is a highly available 3d printed and servo motor based robotic arm. That can be combined with nvidia orin like sbc as a good starting point.

Worth to check also https://www.printables.com/ for small cute 3d printed robot projects that you can build using stm32 or esp32 boards. You shall check Adafruit/Sparkfun like websites for dev boards, they even support micro python for quick prototypes.

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Monday February 09, 2026 @10:32AM (#46946324)
Building an AI debugger for embedded systems.

You know that feeling when your microcontroller crashes and you spend 3 hours staring at cryptic registers trying to figure out why? Yeah, I got tired of that.

So I built an MCP server that lets Claude talk directly to GDB. Now instead of manually decoding CFSR registers, I just ask "why did it crash?" and get back "division by zero at line 142 in calculate_average()".

It's pretty satisfying to watch Claude diagnose a deadlock between two RP2040 cores in 10 seconds - something that would've ruined my entire afternoon.

Re:Ask HN: Is Cursor still working for you? on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @01:06AM (#46882049)
i will try Claude Code with Opus4.5 on a similar MVP, if it still fails when session becomes higher that means i need to do manual orchestration. I wonder if there is already a pattern people use for that.

From my exprience also I agree that Auto on all the time is the way to go for now, only pay extra for initial plan nothing else. Also avoid long sessions, after first context summarization Opus4.5 is pretty much done using Cursor, will check how others do and update here.

Re:Ask HN: Is Cursor still working for you? on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @12:53AM (#46881969)
Tried both, openai models are also good, but something with agent getting out of plan after iterating for me, initial plan says to use xyz library and it uses, later on something goes wrong and fallbacks to a hack or simpler solution despite I correct again and again. I feel like summary of summary for the context causing the issue. Do you use it as snapshot task handling or MVPs? How do you manage long sessions?

Ask HN: Is Cursor still working for you?

I spent $1.5K using Cursor with Opus4.5 to test some MVP ideas.It starts really well and looking promising, but after that you burn all your tokens and energy to make sure agents still sticks to the plan.If it hits a wall, all a sudden it does stupid hacks. I just canceled my subscription and moving on, what else I should try?Did you also eperienced gambling like effect, you keep increasing the...

Show HN: Yaoclaw (Yet Another Open Claw)AI agent that runs cmds in macOS sandbox

(Yes, the name keeps the "Yet Another" tradition alive. YAML did it, YACC did it, now YAOC. Someone had to.)This whole thing was vibe coded – $99 in tokens later, you can save that and just use your local LLM instead.Shipping before bed because my agent can't work autonomously at night yet, and I know someone would release this while I'm sleeping.https://github.com/ezulabs/yaoclaw
