I get recruitment emails for a startup some people from Uber are making called Cloud Kitchens. Basically kitchens that can scale based on demand. The company provides ingredients and the kitchens make the food. Share resources make it more

I think kind, industrious, and smart people make great teams. I once took up a lot of space to be a super productive engineer and only ended up being isolated. The business saw that some engineers were saying things worked great and were ea

AI threatens all digital perceptions, not just voice. Images, videos, recordings, ... I think soon enough proving things in court beyond a reasonable doubt when the evidence is digital media will be difficult/impossible.

One of my hobby projects while in University was to do OCR on book scans. Doing character recognition was solved, but finding the relationship between characters was very difficult. I tried "primitive" neural nets, but edge cases

I moved to the USA and got 2.5x my salary in CAD. Canada is fucked and I'm glad I left. I've lived in tiny apartments there and now I just bought my first house in an expensive city with 0 help from my parents. Am also starting a

Maybe dumb question, but I asked ChatGPT search and didn't get a straight answer, so: Why is Russia at war with Ukraine? ChatGPT tells me it's because of "western alignment". Trump told reporters 1m people died. Seems a

Wait until that author learns about Edward Snowden or advertisement agencies. I used to play with Twitters firehose back in the day and there's quite a lot of personal data you derive from private accounts. We could tell the city someo

Cool. I'd use ChatGPT as my default search in Firefox. I'm not going to start using Safari for this however.

Do you think the "deep research" feature that some AI companies have will ever apply to software? For example, I had to update Spring in a Java codebase recently. AI was only able to help mildly to figure out why I was seeing some

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engin

I struggle to define what community is. Some years ago, I went to Las Vegas to watch some performances, and to this day, I think Las Vegas is the most social and most lonely place I've ever been. There's people everywhere and no o

Not important, but to whoever maintains this site, on mobile, on the front page of HN, the text goes right to the edge of the screen if the word break does not occur. A few px of padding would be nice!

I've been flagging all posts I see related to politics. I understand politics and popular tech are now intertwined, but I still find it annoying to see it on a forum dedicated to hackers, startups, hobbyists, and makers.

I'd like a smaller one in my home that I could interact with programmatically. Something that could hold weather forecasts, family calendar events, reminders, pictures, etc. I like the matte look of e-ink.

Are there other instances of differing names by country? I don't mean language differences. I found it strange that for the rest of the world, they'll see both.

I could be wrong, but on earth, communists tend to control their companies with an iron grip.

Isn't "communism = bad" part of the American culture? Why are all of these private companies immediately kissing the govts ass?
