Show HN: 3GPP Spec Manager – A GUI app to track and download 3GPP specifications

https://github.com/chsung/3gpp-spec-manager

I built another simple desktop GUI utility to track and download the latest specifications from the 3GPP.It downloads the specifications, extracts the zip files, and saves them to a pre-designated folder.My previous Chrome extension only supported PDFs, but this app can download specifications in Word format as well. Feel free to choose the version you need.Figured some network/telecom...

Specs are downloaded from ETSI, and titles are fetched from 3GPP.

I built a simple Chrome extension to make dealing with 3GPP specs less painful.You can save spec numbers to a list, and it checks for the latest PDF versions automatically. You can also download and open them right away.Figured some network/telecom engineers here might find it useful.

AI only scraped the text. It can't learn the passion you had at 2 AM. But.. it's just sad
AI Luddism?

It's not about hating the AI. It's about pushing back against our value being stripped away. Never thought We'd actually relate to the industrial workers this way.

Currently, it fetches updates from the official newsrooms and engineering blogs of the following companies: OpenAI, Google (including DeepMind), Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, xAI

I've already picked up so much great news and tips from here — thanks to the HNers for sharing.That said, I still find myself manually checking various official newsrooms and engineering blogs. To save myself from the constant 'tab hunting,' I built a small Chrome extension with a bit of help from Codex. It’s been working well for my workflow, so I figured I’d put it on the Web Store in case...

Thank you for the reminder. I participated in the lights-out event in the evening. I believe that small changes can make a big difference.
I don't think many people expected things to change this rapidly even just a year ago. will we be able to completely keep 'spaghetti legacy code' under control? Or will the sheer drop in the 'cost of code' actually make maintenance even more of a nightmare? I'm not entirely sure, but one thing is certain that we are definitely at an inflection point right now.
