Wireless Android Auto or Carplay generally use BT to setup but WiFi to send the bulk of the graphical data over.

That said, there are adapters to make an existing Android Auto Wireless if you want it. I think some are sold on Amazon too so you could probably try and maybe return. I don't have any experience with them since I'm very happy with my car's built in wired Android Auto and the reliability of cabling but it is something you can try.

The problem is that much of it wasn't illegal. Some was, but some was just spy agencies doing spy agency things. The laws draw some pretty fine distinctions that are at odds with what you expect.

Perhaps it's worth it to have exposed the genuinely illegal things and have scrutiny on the legal but unpleasant ones. But I don't think that's obviously the case. Spy agencies are by definition going to do stuff you wouldn't approve of if you weren't paying close attention to what protections are in place.

Gambit Robotics | Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer | NYC | Onsite | Full-time

Hi! I’m Nicole (ex-Google AI), cofounder of Gambit Robotics with Eliot Horowitz (cofounder/CTO MongoDB).

We’re hiring for two founding engineering roles to work directly with us in our NYC office (in-person only):

1) Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer
- 8+ years experience shipping production systems
- Strong backend and systems foundation
- Experience owning architecture end-to-end (zero → production)

2) Founding Full-Stack Engineer
- 4–6 years experience building and shipping production products
- Strong product sense and ownership
- Comfortable working across backend, client, and infrastructure

Gambit is an AI-powered kitchen assistant that mounts magnetically under most range hoods or microwaves. It uses computer vision, thermal imaging, and on-device AI to understand what’s happening in the pan in real time, and handles the hardest parts of cooking — heat, timing, and doneness — so people get better results with less stress.

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launching via Kickstarter later this month. It’s a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next phase.

If you or someone you know might be a fit, email me:

> Do you have any easy book recommendations to learn this kind of insights - grammar and the way of living.

Goldman’s Devavanipravešika [0] was what I learned Sanskrit from, that will teach you the grammar but Sanskrit grammar is notoriously difficult to learn, it functions almost like a computer language (though, not quite), it was the first formalized language, formalized into a system of thousands of rules that young kids of the upper castes would spend years memorizing. This book is a much simpler way to learn the grammar, but it still won’t be easy.

>Do you have any Bagavad Gita book recommendations that goes into the kernel of the teaching without all that noise?

Any interpretation you read will have some measure of sectarian influence, even my interpretation is quite contemporary, I’m drawing from more recent currents of thought to discuss the Gita in terms of an economy of force—-a good stepping stone between the text itself and this contemporary thought would be this volume of essays, in particular “The God and the Warrior,” by Mario Tronti, which touches on these things directly [1]. In the end it will be up to you, after your own studies, to form your own interpretation and your own relationship to the work.

Author here. I've been developing a constitutional framework for corporate decision-making and AI governance, which I'm sharing here as a white paper and open-source system prompt.

The core idea is an operating system based on the rule 'dogma in constitution, pragmatism in execution.' It defines seven immutable Sovereign Principles as ethical boundaries, paired with seven adaptive Engagement Principles for tactical execution. A key design feature is its AI compatibility—it's structured to allow LLMs to act as constitutional advisors, checking proposals for principle violations.

I'm sharing this to get feedback from the HN community, particularly on:

1. The applicability of the case studies (Meta's API governance dilemma, Volkswagen's emissions scandal) as tests of the framework.
2. The viability of using structured prompts to make ethical reasoning a consistent, audit-friendly process in organizations.
3. The implementation challenges of embedding such a system into existing corporate governance or product development lifecycles.

The canonical prompt and YAML framework are on GitHub (link in the submission). I'm keen to discuss the concept of 'AI as a constitutional guardrail' and whether this approach could help close the gap between having ethics policies and making ethical decisions under pressure.

Why don’t we start with computers and software first? Let’s eliminate all these different laptop options and force every manufacturer to use 3 government-mandated chassis sizes: Small, medium, and large. Make parts interchangeable with standard connectors and power budgets. Nobody is allowed to innovate or customize because we must be standardized.

Where do you think we’d be now? Typing on our highly optimized MacBook Pros, or working on a clunky box with the fans whirring like a hair dryer because everyone had to fit a standard lowest common denominator design and changing it required years of regulatory work?

Or how about software and operating systems? We allow two OS types: Server and Desktop and they all have to work together within standardized interfaces. Nobody is allowed to innovate unless it’s within the regulated specs.

Doesn’t sound so good when it’s applied to topics we’re most familiar with.

In any industry with high performance machines like CNC machines, pick and place, or precision equipment you will find that the parts are not modular or interchangeable across manufacturers either.

A big part of the legal implications of LLMs and AI in general is about accountability.

If you are treated by a human being and it goes sideways, you could sue them and/or the hospital. Now, granted, you may not always win, it may take some time, but there is some chance.

If you are "treated" by an LLM and it goes sideways, good luck trying to sue OpenAI or whoever is running the model. It's not a coincidence that LLM providers are trying to put disclaimers and/or claims in their ToS that LLM advice is not necessarily good.

Same goes for privacy. Doctors and hospital are regulated in a way that you have a reasonable, often very strong, expectation of privacy. Consider doctor-patient confidentiality, for example. This doesn't mean that there is no leak, but you can hold someone accountable. If you send your medical data to ChatGPT and there is a leak, are you going to sue OpenAI?

The answer in both cases is, yes, you should probably be able to sue an LLM provider. But because LLM providers have a lot of money (way more than any hospital!), are usually global (jurisdiction could be challenging) and, often, they say themselves that LLM advice is not necessarily good (which doctors cannot say that easily), you may find that way more challenging than suing a doctor or a hospital.

I'm looking for a dual-boiler espresso machine but I'm wondering why they are so expensive. With the cost reduction opportunities of mass production, I don't see why they should cost more than $500.

Anyway, cheapest option so far, at around $900:

„Sadly, the remaster is a fiasco. The soft tones of “Computer Love” become sharp, the wide spaces of “Home Computer” contract into tunnels, and “Pocket Calculator” bears down on us like a spiked ceiling in a horror film. Equally poor is the remastered Radio-activity, where atmospheric crackles and hisses have been removed by noise reduction software. For pity’s sake, they’re part of the music! Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express and The Man-Machine have less sound-quality issues, but are all inferior to the original EMI CDs. Anyone planning to buy the 8CD …The Catalogue, would be well-advised to sample an individual remaster first.

Hütter is within his rights to tinker with Kraftwerk’s canon as he wishes, but a botched Kraftwerk remaster series is a bitter disappointment nevertheless. It’s not such an issue, thankfully, with the remaining three LPS: the lean, industrial Techno Pop (a re-titled Electric Café with added track “House Phone”); The Mix (1991), a surprisingly addictive re-imagining of 11 classic tracks in a dancefloor context; and Tour De France (2003), a cycling fetishist’s techno headphone soundtrack with a gorgeous five-note motif. For those who’ll never sport the yellow jersey, have no fear. It also works its magic if you’re on an exercise bike.“

It seems the issue boils down to what the Greenlanders want: to become some sort of Venezuela of the north in Trump's imperial crown, and be used to maximize the profits of the American corporations that ultimately get to own it; OR full rights as EU citizens and local autonomy to decide who gets the mining concessions, under competitive terms open to all countries that maximize their profits, which stay in their hands.

The historical path of Greenland in DK is irrelevant.

Maybe I need to take a step back. If, and heavy on the if, you want to communicate issues with humans, you're doing it wrong. If you want to rely on LLMs (and look where that's getting you), by all means do it that way. With humans, they need to come to that conclusion on their own. An example is like this:

You: "I would like to remove blurry frames with ffmpeg. I think I want to use xyz method. Can anybody please help me craft the command?"

Them: "yes, here's the command" (and maybe it's exactly what the LLM output)

You: "it's giving this error code. Here's a snippet of my input file. Can you please check if that works on your end?"

Them: "oh wow you're absolutely right, this doesn't work, I'll put in the issue ticket"

This is a lot nicer than "something else told me how to use your tool and it's broken".

Show HN: AgentWallet – Open-source financial infrastructure for AI agent
by JackDavis720 | 2026-01-10 16:12:13+00:00
Hey HN,

I built AgentWallet — an open-source SDK for giving AI agents financial capabilities with built-in guardrails.

The core idea: as agents become more autonomous (browsing, purchasing, hiring services), they'll need a safe way to handle money. Not "here's my API key to Stripe" but actual wallets with spend controls, audit trails, and human oversight.

Features:
- Agent wallets with balance tracking
- Configurable spend rules (daily limits, per-transaction caps, category whitelists, approval workflows)
- REST API designed for agent integration
- Dashboard UI for monitoring
- Stripe integration for real deposits/withdrawals

Tech: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, React

This is early, but functional. I'd love feedback from anyone building agents or thinking about agent infrastructure.

This is such a poor understanding of what happened in Rotherham, not least of all nobody has ever claimed the UK government itself was the one running the trafficking ring, it borders on fantasy. I’m guessing from your spelling you’re not from the UK, so I’d question where you’re getting your information on this, and your understanding of how the UK public sector and government is structured.

The corruption in South Yorkshire Police and Rotherham council (neither of which are part of HMG) in the 1990s and early 2000s also has absolutely nothing to do with UK Government cyber security policy in 2026.

There's no reason technology has to be user-hostile. You can still have an ECU and screens and everything. When it breaks the screen can be used to tell you exactly which sensor input is out of range. There's no reason parts need to be serialized and learning a new part can only be done once.

You can build a modern vehicle that's still repairable.

If you think you'll ever want to use third-party tools to process that markup, or if some of your private files will transform into public files at some point, then yes, considering popularity makes a lot of sense.

If they're just text files you edit raw that will never interact with anything else but your text editor, then of course popularity doesn't matter at all. But in my experience, my use cases tend to expand over time.

The article even talks about org mode's interoperability, mainly about the fact that pandoc supports it. And then bizarrely ignores the fact that it has much less ecosystem support than Markdown. So this is very much a subject the article itself brings up, and something that therefore also deserves to be critiqued.

This might explain why there are sooooooooo many vps providers/cloud providers, this might be one valid reason as to why.

I am sure that this might not be the only reason but still, its a valid reason for many. Do you know of companies/people which do this and how widespread this practise is?

To me it still feels like malicious compliance tho for what its worth.

Also, the proposed expansion of the White House doesn't align with the interests of Trump leaving at the end of his second term as it would have barely been finished by then. He does not seem like the type of person who would do something that only benefits someone else.

You only applied for 50 jobs in a year?

I was looking for a job in 2023 - a standard C#/JS/Python development job where they wanted AWS experience. At the time according to my resume, I had 10 years of experience (many more years of experience. But not one cares about my programming in C on mainframes in the 90s) including 2 leading AWS architecture at a startup and 3.5 working directly at AWS (full time consulting division).

After being Amazoned for shits and giggles I randomly applied for hundreds of jobs that I was qualified for - I heard crickets. I never do this and I didn’t expect much to come from it.

I did her multiple offers in a couple of weeks via my network and targeted outreach to recruiters where I was an industry expert in a niche of AWS that’s popular. But not many people have experience with.

On another note, the mid size company I work for sent around 300 offers last year and we had an offer/application rate of 0.4%.

Every opening for any remote job gets literally hundreds of applications within 24 hours. It’s almost impossible to stand out from the crowd.

I sure hope Google does something to reward high quality content sites. I'd love to see forums with long histories and high quality content on specific subjects get some kind of love/bump. They seem to be the best source of legitimate information with back and forth discussion, pictures, etc.. and search features that actually work.

Reddits and subreddits are also great for this, so I understand why Reddit ranks so high.

I see so many americans suddenly hyperfocus on the strategic importance of Greenland because Trump again talks about stealing it. They fall over themselves inventing fantastically involved rationales and really weird moral justifications. Meanwhile Donald is above such pretense. He just wants it. (In way that honesty is refreshing.)

It's especially tragicomical when they frame it as a defense measure against Russia - which those same people are generally aligned with.
How to search Remote-from-Anywhere jobs
by andrewstetsenko | 2026-01-10 16:14:47+00:00
Finding a true “Remote from Anywhere” role is harder than it looks.

Many jobs are labeled “remote,” but the fine print often ties them to a region, a time zone, or specific legal and tax requirements.

Here are practical checks that help you spot “remote anywhere” roles faster, and avoid common red flags.

1) Read the location line
Start with the simplest signal: is there a geography attached?

- “US Remote” “Remote (EU)” “LATAM only” or “Remote within X countries” usually means location restrictions.
- If time zones are listed, that can also imply location limits, even when the role is technically remote.
- Look for explicit language like “Global remote,” “Work from anywhere,” “fully asynchronous,” or “distributed team across multiple countries.” These are not guarantees, but they are stronger indicators.

2) Treat salary as a clue

Pay ranges can indicate the target hiring market.

- A range like $100k to $250k often signals a US-centered market (not always, but often).

3) Watch the application form

Sometimes the job post is vague, but the ATS form tells the truth:

- Questions like “Which time zone can you work in?” can reveal the required overlap.
- If the location dropdown includes only a few regions (e.g., US, Canada, Europe, Other), it often indicates there are specific geographic requirements.
- Red flags that usually indicate US-only hiring include questions about US work authorization, a US tax ID, US-specific benefits or requirements such as Security Clearance.

4) Check the company on LinkedIn

If a company truly hires globally, you can usually see it in its team.

- Review employee locations. Even if LinkedIn shows only a few “top locations,” individual profiles reveal the real spread.
- Search for your profession (e.g., Software Engineer) and check where they actually live.
- If you see people working from India, Asia, Africa or other regions beyond the US and Europe, that is a strong sign the company can hire internationally.

5) Compare career pages and external job boards

Job descriptions are sometimes more detailed on the company website.

- Look for mentions of an asynchronous culture, a multi-national team, or the number of nationalities in the company.
- Check LinkedIn job posts and external job boards. They sometimes include location constraints that are missing from the official posting.

Remote anywhere roles exist, but they are a narrower category than most people expect.

Companies balance time zone collaboration, employment compliance, payroll, and security requirements.

Good luck with your remote job search!

In a hypothetical where both could be accomplished at the same time, equitably and humanely, most certainly yes.

Those qualifications are important, lest either issue just be used as a rallying cry to inflict cruelty, pretend token reforms, or otherwise do half the job. If you'd like to respond constructively, I can elaborate.

Also of course we live in the real world where we can't atomically commit to perform both. This makes heuristics highly important. And if this ongoing topic doesn't grate against your own large-context sense of government action versus effectiveness, this particular incident should at least run afoul of a small-context concern of whether a government is killing its own citizens.

From experience if the air suspension ECU freaks out over a sensor reading out of range it's either water in one of the connectors, or the sensor is getting a bit worn and you've run it to the far end of its travel.

Getting the vehicle four-square (possibly jacking up the corner with the faulty sensor so it sits about the right height) and resetting the EAS ECU with a diagnostics tool will solve the problem in the short term.

The other thing of course is you can just get it to sit level or at least level-ish, then unplug the ECU, let it complain about some unspecified fault, and drive it without self-levelling until it can be repaired, probably when you're not knee-deep in mud.

The best part about the F-150 is that it isn't even toddlers at that point. The most common F-150 variant I see in my area's hood goes up to my shoulder and I'm 2 meters tall.

You often see the very important people driving these working their way through crowded parking lots and places that are primarily foot traffic with a "Wtach out for ME!" driving style.

I think the F-150 is the most popular. I know many people don’t care about other’s subjective experiences, but it’s always such a mindfuck to my EU mind when I see trucks of this size.

Like my brain expects the car to finish, but there’s more car. Then it happens again and again in a quick succession. It confuses me, I shake it off. I look at the car again. The bed is empty, there’s one person in it.

Then I think „what’s the point”? And then I remember we grew up in different environments and have different expectations about how things should look like. And I still don’t fully get it.

In an Org document that contains Org examples (e.g. if this article had been written in Org), even Emacs gets confused about rendering it. So you might find that sections in example text are evaluated as being part of top-level sections and collapsing is wonky, etc.

I run into this a lot with gptel. I use a main Org file for all my daily notes, and since gptel streams LLM output as Org (which is good), it conflicts with my main file. I have a post-processing function that converts headings into `#` to avoid this, but it's a hack I'd rather not do.
