Re:Reverse engineering a Russian ML driven drone detector on Monday October 26, 2026 @10:28AM (#50244344)
Worked on this last night. Feel free to poke around the models.
This is the result of many months of research. The goal was to make a client for the RayBan meta gen 1 glasses, which can record good video, that proved impossible so I moved to the earlier gen from 2021 which I still had stashed around.

I do like using these glasses but I do not want to use the Meta app at all which is probably siphoning all my dog videos to an AI training center in kenya.

There's a lot of controversy around these glasses, partly due to weirdos who shouldn't have them and partly due to it being a Meta product. RE work accelerated after seeing the Wired report on facial recognition, which I was able to reproduce as well.

The app doesn't talk to the internet, there's no AI assistant crap in it. It's just to download your videos and photos, get the stabilization sidecar file, and to configure some settings like tone volume and recording time.

It's time to kick Meta out of your face.

I own the Insta360 Link too, will flash this firmware since I also want to turn off the LED ring.
I'm going up to Castellón to catch it with the drone

Show HN: Android client for DJI Osmo action/handheld cameras

https://github.com/KonradIT/osmosis

For the past few months I've been hard at work reverse engineering the DJI "DUML" protocol that the Osmo Action 5 and Osmo Nano cameras speak. The DUML protocol is already documented but for drones, and a lot of the commands that are action camera specific were missing. Decided to build this Android app to replace the proprietary DJI Mimo vendor app, since it calls many Chinese IPs, has...

Both Insta360 and DJI cameras save IMU / magnetometer data to their video files.
Re:Pebble is officially back on iOS and Android on Sunday October 19, 2025 @09:48AM (#45634100)
Been using it for a month with my pebble time. No health features yet but everything else more or less works. The underlying library that actually handles the comms with the pebble is open source so it's easy to add new features and fix bugs yourself.
Sucks to have to spin up the VPN anytime there's a match. Wonder how much money are Spanish companies losing out on online sales over this crap.

Usually football trasmissions have identifiable elements in the screen, such as the score, the match title, etc... and those are fixed elements that do not appear in ads. For example: https://i.imgur.com/blebca8.png

Or the title bar below. You could do some basic OCR on a Pi, when the team names are readable, keep the volume up, when they are not, disable it.

Re:Ask HN: Are tech layoffs happening abroad? on Thursday January 11, 2024 @05:32PM (#38960354)
Layoffs are bureaucratic in Spain, needs to be approved by unions and sometimes government too (EREs) (1)

Considering how lowly paid SWEs are in this country, I'd imagine the company would be better off keeping them on payroll.

I'll stick with GoPro even though Insta360 has provided me with their cameras. GoPro's official APIs are just too good to switch.

Re:DJI drone flight log viewer on Monday May 08, 2023 @10:52AM (#35862157)
The SRT logs from DJI are a god send. I wrote some software that helps me deal with importing videos and photos from multiple action cameras and drones, and it uses DJI's SRT files to sort out the location of a video. https://github.com/KonradIT/mmt
Re:Ask HN: Why were you laid off ? on Saturday April 29, 2023 @05:19AM (#35751395)
I was laid off in December last year. Looking back, it was clear why, I was the youngest member of the team, had the least experience and was struggling to pick up the new tasks assigned to me with the limited knowledge I had about the product and its underlying tech. I don't think my performance was judged too harshly or it was a major contributor, rather my superior had to make a layoff happen in the team, and I was the one with the least time in the company and least proven experience.
So the other driver also had the same glitch happen to them?

>Randev said the other Tesla driver told him he was able to get his number because he had printed out a document, which was in his car and it had his phone number on it.

Or perhaps peeked thru the window?

Maybe the other guy's car was left unlocked and the app just unlocked his car, which was left unlocked after the main guy drove off with the other guy's car?

Re:Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired? on Thursday February 09, 2023 @12:30PM (#34727637)
Laid off in December. Applies to ~10 companies, and about 10 other companies reached out. 9 rejections, 2 in advanced stages, and 9 haven't heard back from them.

I got my first fulltime job ever in 2019, got laid off in 2021, and had no issue getting interviews and finally landing another job. In 2021 the process was surprisingly easy, fast and without much input from my end. I never really did leetcode exercises, so it was quite a shock to find so many companies do them.

Show HN: Wrote an action camera/drone media organizer program

https://github.com/KonradIT/mmt

I've been using several action cameras and drones for the last 10 years, and never had a utility to make importing media from these devices easier. The software will sort media by date, location and importance, as well as apply LUT profiles to photos, export highlighted moments from a video to an .EDL file compatible with Resolve, and update cameras firmware.

This is a welcomed addition to the firmware by GoPro.

For years I've hacked on their WiFi and BLE APIs and wrote several libraries and tools around the commands. My python wrapper around their App APIs got some votes here on HN too. Its been very cool to see how makers and hackers have used my info to run their projects and create new GoPro experiences. Now it's turn I take a rest.
