Ask HN: BOM for a remote operated HAM UHF/VHF shack

Hacker News - Sat, 11/09/2024 - 9:14pm

If you were to build a remote operated ham shack for UHF/VHF, what would you choose?

Ideally I could use a cheap base station or mobile station, hook up a pi, add tail scale, and run some software on my laptop to control the radio.

Even in 2024 this seems surprisingly difficult for under $1500, even though decent SDR UHF/VHF HT are $50 and raspberry pis are $100.

Show HN: LLM driven OS to execute network security exploration agents

Hacker News - Sat, 11/09/2024 - 9:02pm

I made this thing where LLM works like a tiny OS kernel - it plans tasks and runs different agents. Right now it's doing security stuff (poking at networks, checking SSL, testing APIs) with WebGoat as a playground.

The ultimate goal is to ask it "find vulnerabilities in XYZ" and see it orchestrate its own tools, backtrack, try different approaches, etc.

The cool part is the LLM doesn't just blast out a bunch of tokens - it plans, reasons and executes tasks step by step during inference.

Currently playing with security agents but you could plug in anything really. Would love getting you to play with it and maybe add an agent or two.

Proof We're in a Simulation

Hacker News - Sat, 11/09/2024 - 8:49pm

I have proof we're all in a simulation.

Actual, real, factual proof.

Butter.

Think about it.

If your house is too cold, or warm, it's borked. It doesn't spread, or it's melted. It's designed to spread at the perfect temp zone for human living, yet it's the by product of milk and a natural process.

It's proof! This is a simulation!!!

Verbalize – text editor with writing assistance for Brazilian Portuguese

Hacker News - Sat, 11/09/2024 - 8:30pm

I'm a linguist and technical writer (tech writer, dev writer, documenter, technical editor, etc.) and I've always used Hemingway for my English writing. The problem was that I'd never found a text editor capable of suggesting possible improvements to a text in Brazilian Portuguese.

Years passed, and this week I had time to create a fork of [Techscriptor](https://github.com/cbrincoveanu/techscriptor) with some interface improvements and adapt it to Brazilian Portuguese. That's how version 0.1 of Verbalize was born.

## What does it do?

In a basic and summarised way, you can upload a file from your computer (in `md` or `txt`, for now) and the editor, besides allowing you to actually edit, will give you hints on how to improve the text (long sentences, complex words, jargon, adjectives and other things we should avoid in texts, especially technical ones).

Once edited, you can download the file in `md` format.

## Access

The application can be installed (Electron), accessed through the web, or you can download the code from GitHub and run it locally in your browser.

- [Live version](https://verbalize-editor.netlify.app/) - [Source code](https://github.com/mtgr18977/Verbalize)

## Improvements

I have a few 'next steps' in mind:

- Google Drive/Onedrive integration. - Possibility to upload a custom rules file. - Allow it to be used offline as well. - Improve the GUI.
