I agree, and I think Apple is best positioned to take that space. It’ll likely be through the slow rollout of health related sensors in wearables, and safety features like the crash detection and fall alerts, combined with on-device AI. Onc

This is hilarious. As impressive as GPT-3/4 has been at writing, what's more shocking is just how bullshity-y human writing is.. And a "business consultant" is the epitome of a role requiring bullshit writing. Chat GPT c

I didn't catch any explanation of why McDonalds is still using these machines if it is such an issue. I've had plenty of soft serve from other machines that tastes just the same, or better. Also, what reasoning did McDonalds corpo

I highly recommend listening to this podcast episode. Lex Friedman interviews Andrej Karpathy (former director of AI at Tesla): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lex-fridman-podcast/id... 1:32:39 Andrej e

This reads like an AI generated article. It covers some differences like pulling images with a gui vs a cli. Ok… thats incredibly unimportant.

They are right to be mad, but Nadella did cite “the labor market” as one factor in the pay freeze. That’s another way of saying “we won’t pay you more because we don’t need to” At the end of the day I don’t think the justification or excuse

This is how I have interpreted its value, and frontend devs have very plainly advocated for its use with this argument. I think this is a really silly value prop. Behind the elegance of a query language that lets you get your perfect little

This hit home for me :-( I'm gonna go sell or donate some of my 2nd price debt items now. They're now a good reminder that time is finite and you need to curate your hobbies and attention carefully.

I can never get tired of this sort of juxtaposition of old/new tech. Really cool project.

Yeah I am curious to see how well this works in practice. Resolution and screen size is a delicate balance, and the face-mounted aspect of this throws conventional wisdom of what works well out the window.

3,500 seems SO worth it if this can be used to comfortably replace external displays for long periods of time. If I don't need external monitors, I don't need my large desk, and I don't need my home office, which adds like 10

I agree. I spent a ton of money configuring my home office. Many displays, giant motorized desk, articulating arms, cable management, etc. Easily over $3500, and I still don't feel like it's ergonomically great. It certainly can&#

The last time I heard AM radio was 25 years ago in my dads ~1990 civic hatch. The fact that some 50mm people still listen to it is mind blowing. Couldn’t one purchase a standalone AM radio for 10 bucks these days? Not everyone has a car any

The 2nd gen pros also have the U1 chip, the same as the AirTag. What's the point in bundling it with an AirTag?

These must have been the gen 1 AirPods. The 2nd Gen Pros (maybe others) now have a speaker and makes a pretty loud noise from the case. The reason she could not track down these AirPods in crowded areas is because the location reported is a

I figured that. I would love to contribute compute to such a thing. Is there any effort or development in progress? What are the hurdles?

I'd agree they aren't close, but they are way better than I expected to see in a short few months. At this rate they'll be approaching "good enough" for me pretty soon. I don't always need a dissertation out of

Precisely. You'll find that within HN and consumer electronics communities, the concept is much more polarizing. How many of your friends know what side-loading is? How many would want it if they did know what it was? If app-store only

Heh that’s a good call. I also take the “rule” about not bringing your own alcohol on the plane with a pile of salt. In practice, it’s easy to dump nips into a soda during a flight without being caught.

My favorite pre-flight ritual as of recent is to go out and get a bomb ass sandwich and pack it for the flight. I’m talkin’ gourmet Italian, fresh mozz, crunchy bread with the waxed paper wrapping. Sometimes I’ll get it dry and pack the oil
