This would be even better if it were a chat interface to ChatGPT so you could ask it troubleshooting questions next time your machine won't boot into OS.
Considering there're ChatGPT IRC bots, can already do that indirectly.

Don't sell yourself short. There's a botnet C&C client project here!
OK the UI is a bit funny. :)

I wanna know more about the from scratch GPS receiver
Not OP, but in the meantime this may help alleviate your thirst for "how could someone do GPS from scratch", especially the end parts about radio signals and encoding: https://ciechanow.ski/gps/
This is my favorite write up of someone truly building a GPS receiver from scratch: http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm
A real tour de force of DSP - really cool stuff, and well-written

Andrew Holme's receiver was a crucial resource in my journey! There were times when a sentence or two from his post unlocked an insight for me.

#26Hi everyone! As a bit of a gag, I’ve made a graphical IRC Client that runs entirely in the UEFI preboot environment. It features completely overdone features such as TrueType fonts, a cursor, and GUI decorations. I first started this project as I was getting a bit tired building a from-scratch GPS receiver, and wanted to make something relatively quick and lighthearted. As tends to happen, this took a fair bit longer…

I am really glad to hear that there's interest, and hopefully I will have a 3-part series to share on this some time soon! Similar to Andrew's project linked down below, this is a 'true' home-brew receiver. I didn't know anything about DSP, etc, when I started out, so I learned a lot about signal processing (and the incredible techniques that make GPS work), and really hope I'll be able to publish it all soon!

> feel that doesn’t belong anywhere near a preboot environment. Seems to be quite the right place for me. How else would I get help on boot issues?
Ha! I take your point.

#29Amazing visualizations in the article, very impressive.
Thank you very much, I've spent a lot of time on them over the past week and am really pleased to hear that you enjoyed them!
I was really impressed when I clicked the reload button -- inspiring attention to detail!
How did you create those?

#30> “Why”? What kind of question is “why”?
This is the spirit I come to HN for. Thank you for sharing.
