Show HN: Automated Instagram comment moderation
Hi everyone, Happy Friday!

I've been building a tool to help Instagram creators and account managers manage comments more easily.

SocialGuard pools all your comments in one dashboard, allowing you to easily hide/show, delete, or respond.

You can also set up keyword-based rules to automatically moderate a comment, or get a notification if certain keywords are hit.

If you, or someone you know use IG for work I would greatly appreciate the share, thank you!
> But they still aren’t being used to track one of the biggest public health threats: crashes caused by drivers distracted by the phones.

I have seen cases where they went back and look at phone use history after accidents.... not sure how often they do it though.
Not necessarily. Bloat is one reason why originally dynamic linking was rolled out but the bigger benefit (to manufacturers) was to be able to update libraries without updating the applications. This has been the source of much trouble (dependency hell) and statically linked binaries suffer none of these issues. It's not like every application uses all of every library and an efficient linker is able to see which parts of the library it needs to link and which parts it can safely leave out.
MS has returned $0.20 to shareholders with this action.
As a private U.S. citizen, is it legal for me to hack North Korean systems?
Legal as far as the United States goes. Same with Russia, Iran, etc. Since they are all enemies of my country, can I legally assist in messing with their systems? Which laws would I be breaking? How would it ever get reported?
The program in the video uses Turbo Vision interface, so the closest thing is DOS Navigator [1]. Also DOS Navigator has some Arvid support [2], so it could be Dos Navigator itself.

I can already see the storm of people saying that making companies liable for the software that costs consumers money is going to kill hobbyists, because we are just casualties waiting to give everyone money without any expected right
Is it just me or is massive data destruction scarey as hell?
To add to the discussion of the The Guardian, I think it is borderline. It is certainly much better than the majority of entertainment / media / "news" which is billionaire-owned.

I think there are alternatives that should also be encouraged. I want to spread awareness of Byline Times and Private Eye. I recently switched from a subscription of The Guardian to Byline Times.

I think local papers are also important.
Sure I'm not suggesting it now as a follow up, I just wondered if it was something you were aware of and dismissed for some reason over the last several years before opting to try OLS (which I hadn't heard of) instead; especially since you mentioned Let's Encrypt.
The BoD is likely in cahoots with the McDonnel-Douglas suits. It would take a shareholder revolt to can them all and put engineers back in charge.
As always, we're just one tax increase away from utopia!

Which alternative exists today that comes even close to this described utopian product?
If Apple were to tone down their anticompetitive monopolistic bullshit by like, one notch, I would have bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the Pixel 8 Pro I would up buying.

Anecdotally, I have personally witnessed an incomprehensible rise in the amount of motor vehicle crashes in the past 15 years and the single greatest contributing factor seems to be smartphone distraction.

Just last fall I responded to a late-night crash where a drunk driver lost control and pinballed across the highway hitting both barriers and coming to a rest on the shoulder when a second vehicle whose driver was looking at their phone failed to notice the gigantic fire engine with flashing lights blocking the right lane of the three-lane road and braked just late enough to crash into our engine.

We found the phone, still playing a video, in the driver's side footwell.
If you have a pair of eyes, obviously gear will actually matter.

I don't know what the state of DSLR market is today, but in 2007, I took an amateur photography class in community college and had to rent a cheap camera to take photos for the assignment. It was pretty clear that despite using best available settings to take pictures, my photos looked nowhere near as noise-free/crispy as other adult hobbyists with $10,000 camera setups.

If you ever used a point-and-shoot camera and a high-end DSLR, you'll know that at the same level of skill nothing can compensate for good optics. It's simple physics.

Gear matters more in low-light conditions, or with fast-moving objects. It matters less for landscape photography with good lighting conditions.

But it always matters.
No lowballers, no tirekickers. I know what I've got.
I have a very simple solution for that: you get to choose: you are either the provider of commercial software and accept liability for your product or you have to open source it.
Why are you perplexed? Govt insiders make the laws.
> dependency hell

Dependency hell comes from bad dependencies that don't do semver properly. Choose your deps carefully, and that's perfectly fine.

> Feels like every single app is a bundled web browser these days anyways.

Yep, that's apparently the best way to use the bad libraries people want to use and not give a damn about semver.
The proper approach IMHO is to reduce incoming noise then add some of your own to mask it. I'm not a big fan of audio canceling headphones (I'm one of those that finds the perceived 'pressure' distracting and disconcerting), but in-ear buds or headphones already block a lot. Foam tip earbuds are even mor effective. Add some quiet brown noise to mask what's left, and you should be good.
Regarding the startup time, it has been massively improved since the initial Firefox snap release. It'll always have non-zero overhead for the reasons you mentioned, but it's already fast enough that it no longer bothers me.
That’s false. You can apply for EB visas from outside the US. After the approval of the I-140 (application for employment-based visa), instead of “adjustment” of your visa status in the US, you perform immigrant visa processing at your local consulate to get your green card.

You can still travel after filing the I-140 but not after filing the I-485 (adjustment) without advance parole.
> How hard would it be to revert to the previous working version?

In Qualcomm EDL firehose mode? Super simple if you have the QPST: the phone is waiting for an image to write to the flash. It's actually waiting for the image to immediately reboot once it's written.

But google doesn't release these images, so it's like having computer permanently bricked after the hard drive was corrupted because there's no install media available.

I think we (as people who are on HN and can understand the problem) have a responsibility in not letting such things happen, if only because they hurt the people who don't understand the problem, the simplicity of the solution, and may just have a phone as their only computing device.
Yes, it’s a thing. A long time ago, my work involved a frequency hopping, spread spectrum radio link. Can’t say much about it but I’m sure that the technology has improved since then.
> There are a lot of developers who look at the iPhone as just another Von Neumann machine: I should be able to do whatever I like, however I like and Apple shouldn't be part of the picture after they sold the phone to the user.

I don’t view the iPhone as a Von Neumann machine: I view it as a product that I bought.

Out of all of the physical goods in my home, I am hard-pressed to think of any that require an exclusive ongoing relationship with the original manufacturer.

The piano tuner makes a living because companies design and manufacture pianos, but I do not see anyone arguing that he ought to pay fees to the designer because they “allowed” him to sell me that service.
Slim pickings...
Took me almost a year to get a refund, and I had to escalate to an insider that I personally knew.
I definitely think this is a discussion we should have and I am actually pleasantly surprised by the kind of comments I have read so far in that they are not unhinged even though I may disagree with some of them.

I have not flagged it personally but I understand why someone would.
I was just responding on "Couldn't this be the one discussion ?" and I think it's not, for the reasons above.
The constant reward is a way to quickly condition a behavior. Random reward has a higher permanence… however, it’s clear that they weren’t doing it for the treats when they started ignoring the treats they received.

I'm not sure lucid dreaming is all it's cracked up to be. I've experienced it every night for most of my life. It's all quite entertaining -- I have some really awesome dreams -- but the dreams are also very visceral and a negative[1] dream can leave me emotional throughout the day.

Unsure if related, but I rarely wake feeling refreshed. Need to get a referral for sleep study...

[1] Sadly, none of the dreams are positive.

Well, the phrase "I think that workers should own the means of production" indeed do not sounds as bad for me as "I think some ethnical groups are inferior and we should get rid of them". I perfectly understand banning the second phrase and not the first one.

That's really cool, but wouldn't it be worthwhile to also include in the vault a device which can read all that data? Or perhaps engrave on the interior of the vault the instructions for making such a device?

Even in the past few decades storage mediums have changed pretty rapidly and what was the standard back then may be totally unusable for a layperson today. I can't imagine what changes can occur over 1000 years.
Before AT&T was broken up it was illegal to connect a fax machine or any other unauthorized equipment on their network.

As someone who is not from US I feel your point. But they are US company. We are here on US site.
Pelosi is famous for her trading activity, but I always wonder why there isn't _more_ of this. Is congress constrained by their own sense of propriety, or have they reached the theoretical maximum alpha from their insider knowledge?
If you're low on storage space, try freeing up a few gigs. My pixel 5 was impossibly slow when I let it get under 5 gigs free.

I have Radeon 6600xt and it was quite a struggle to make something like Whisper work with it, despite the card being supported by Amd for ML purposes. The situation is getting better (not so long ago I probably wouldn't have been able to run it at all), but yeah.

But running many other ML technologies or Whisper variants is impossible because of lack of Cuda.

So if you are any serious about ML, overpriced and undermemoried Nvidia is the only way to go at the moment. But if you don't care about that and only care about gaming, Amd will be the best choice for most people.
> The Unreal example is wrong though, there are other engines to choose from.

There are other phones to chose from also. This is where the rub is. Apple has already successfully argued in the US that the phone and the software and app store are a single entity. Breaking them apart does not make sense.

Instead of paying 5% for the Unreal engine, I only want to pay 2% when I use someone Unity's networking stack. And, if Unreal isn't happy about that, I will petition the government to force them. It may sound odd or absurd, but it's still just a ip/software licensing agreement.

BTW, any PS game sold digital or physical owes Sony a licensing fee (~15% last I saw). So even if Sony is forced to allow other digital stores on the PS, they will likely still demand a licensing fee for each game sold. Where the game comes from is irrelevant, except with physical sales falling under right of first sale doctrine.
I agree. The whole thing is unseemly, but Nvidia is a poor example. Lots of people made money on Nvidia this year.

For what it's worth, I was surprised that the Speaker of the House earn 250k. That seems too low.
> But, SteamOS and Fedora Silverblue are starting to show that using modern Linux technologies, you can bring the benefits of immutable operating system design to the Linux desktop today.

Amen. You hit the nail when it comes to AUR vs. ppa. Steam OS was also going to bring in support for Nix packages, so definitely want to see how immutable desktop + nixpackages end up changing Linux Desktop.
Sure, but it's no scarier than massive physical destruction.
>If a crash happens, and someone was on their phone, it would be pretty obvious that they were at fault.

Accidents are so circumstantial that it's not always going to be "pretty obvious" someone involved was on their phone. Nor does being on your phone when involved in an accident necessarily mean that you caused it.
If the kid is interested in college-level courses, MIT makes many of them available for free on OpenCourseWare: https://ocw.mit.edu/
They are small like another poster mentioned, but their big primary eyes and their behavior makes them seem a lot less threatening than other spiders as well. For example, if they notice you they tend to reposition themselves to get a better look at what you are. They are also pretty rare to find indoors, which means you're not likely to be surprised by them while brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

I think you must be confusing it with one of the later Powerbooks with passive matrix screens.

I have a Portable in the attic somewhere, and I used to boot it up and play around with it a bit. The screen was dark (no backlight) but very crisp and relatively smooth for the era.
Also probably useful if you want some kind of 'reply to' number.
Dynamic Library hell is why Docker exists. If operating systems had less global state and less ambient authority, our systems would be vastly more tractable. Instead we still create environments that look like replicas of whole hosts.

Might as well go all in and use something with pervasive virtualization like Qubes.

Haha - you're right. I updated my comment.

I am not perplexed in the least that it occurs.

Just dumbfounded at the level of self-dealing that happens in full public view.
Yes, that happened and it was clearly bad science but scientists know better now. During the same time period, the US was spraying DDT across the country killing off many species including its own bald eagles. I'm still unclear what this has to do with modern China and solar initiatives.
Germany has the https://www.sovereigntechfund.de, which does exactly that.

If battery growth is exponential, but mining of ore isn't, that's a pretty big red flag imo. Once raw material production hits a wall, prices go back up, profits droop, advancement declines. After a while there'll probably be a new OPEC for batteries. Batteries are here to stay, but the growth rate isn't.

> This seems a weird thing to complain about =)

On the contrary, I find it relevant: I think that the modern way is wasting way, way too much.
Totally agree with all of this. I just feel that this is a bad example which is likely not related to insider trading so it weakens the case made in the article.
A committee voted on it.
Exactly. I'm confused by why anyone is confused by this. The system is operating exactly as desired by the people making the laws.
The front looks great IMO. Kudos. I have a few compacts myself and one project I need to try is tossing a Pi 5 in there and having it display on the original CRT. Would make for a cute little SSH terminal.

At first glance, I genuinely that this was a troll post about paywalled content with the title and the "subscriber-only" messaging all around it.
Adding my voice, if your stand up sucks, I'm sorry, but you will still need to provide some kind of input to those you work with on what you're doing and what you need. Otherwise, don't be surprised at performance reviews.
That's not how North Korea works. You have access to what the state allows you.
You can install whatever plug you want on your device - as long as it also has a USB-C plug on it too.

So if you come up with a truly revolutionary new plug and the market at large adopts it, then there's no reason the EU won't approve of it being the new standard.

The point of the standards is to ensure consumers aren't being fucked over by proprietary plugs that are incompatible with all the other devices out there, like what Apple was doing, not to enforce some arbitrary limit that says USB-C is the final form factor plug we'll ever be using
Did you bet against it? I don't understand. There's an entire subreddit of people making the same exact move.

The two engines on that jet can run about 5k hours before they have to be taken apart and overhauled which costs a f*ckload of money. The ones in the link have been running for 4,036/4,200 hours since their last overhaul so have less than 20% life on them. Whoever buys this plane will get less than a thousand hours of use before they have to spend more than the sale price of the plane to overhaul the engines.

According to [1] it costs an average of $500,000 per engine

Her husband runs an investment firm so the information here was probably simply detailed analysis, down to the estimated orders per customer and the details of supply chain costs and margins. So not at all unexpected and no need for inside information.

That's one thing that people don't seem to get when they look at stocks at a superficial level. Nvidia's rise was entirely expected. A quote among many - "We’re shocked by Nvidia’s pricing power on AI chips that we see driving earnings upside, higher valuation" - Apr 2023 when the price was less than half it is now and that statement was 100% correct yet the thread i'll link has a tone of conspiracy theories that it's a lie. https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/12rbhs8/nvidia_stoc...

In fact in superficial analysis land (aka retail investors making trades on past history and PE alone) there were posts on reddit that Nvidia at half the current price was a great shorting opportunity as their PE was high. https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/12c6sbx/nvidia_nvda...

I still can't believe just how bad the retail investor community is. They don't go into any detail on companies. No view of the incoming orders and costs. They don't look at the long standing declines in userbase (there's non stop "Paypal is undervalued" threads on Reddit right now despite the constant user decline), they do superficial analysis and make poor decisions and when they see someone do well on investing through diligence they scream conspiracy.

So Nancy Pelosi, and more specifically her investment banker husband did well on this trade? No shit. They probably did some level of homework.
...because they don't need a warrant. A warrant is needed when the state wants to use its monopoly on violence to obtain evidence (eg. sending men with guns to search your house). It's not needed when someone volunteers the information (eg. asking your friends what they saw when they last visited).

With three phones and a one-in-eight chance of being unaffected (assuming 50% for each phone) that still leaves a very large number of phones out there that are potentially affected. 100's of millions of devices. The article is pretty clear that it doesn't seem to affect every phone, but that there are numerous complaints.

I'm always imagining 'Some' in front of headlines like these unless it says 'All'.
