As always, I _wish_ I had a use case for an iPad. Seem like such powerful machines hindered by where they live in the serious-computing space. The iPadOS being much more restrictive doesn't help either. I wish they could repurpose macO

Naive take but I feel the only way to combat this problem is with AI. Any manual queuing, or separate threads could be overrun all the same. The only difference being there is a dam of sorts before we let some of the projects out. Any manua

I was lagging behind in AI until a colleague shared your guide about Context Management in LLMs. Thank you for that!

This sounds great, do you think something like this could be ported over to other countries' laws? Where I'm from, citizens _need_ more awareness of their rights today and in the future.

TIL about shading, and am surprised how less I've seen this term in grading tutorials. While different, I feel like shading is something that should be learnt before grading. PS You might have pasted two different answer drafts above.

They don't do that anymore, at least not for me. I tried contacting two different support agents and both mentioned that the functionality has been removed for them by the higher-ups.

It's not always social status, especially for people who volunteer but don't tell anyone. It can often be ideology and principles, from people who want to pay a favour forward (e.g. if they received help from the past). I do agree

That's fair game to record the conversation too as an interviewee (most reporters wouldn't object). Most reporters by default also record the conversation directly (better for fact-checking and makes the job easier). Misrememberin

I have personal experience with transcription software (e.g. Otter.ai), and it's still not good enough. Even if you get 95% accuracy, which isn't a given if the audio is recorded outside with background noise, that's still 5

I switched to Comply foam, then back to silicon for good. The dealbreaker for me was cleanliness. The downside you mentioned of squishing the foam was the biggest reason; I always aimed to sanitize my hands before rolling the foam (pre-Covi

If you haven't already tried it, a filter replacement with the tool and filters that come with the device could do the trick [0] (fixed a problem I experienced myself). Another common fix is to switch out the cable, though I've on

I had a similar problem, and the solution was to change out the filter in the non-functioning earpiece [0] with the tool and replacement filters that came with the device. I also bought a replacement cable, which didn't work, then cont

I actually experienced a similar issue between the jack and the cable with exposed wires. It didn't affect audio quality for me, so it was just cosmetic; I wrapped electrical tape around the exposure as a fix. This shouldn't happe

It's common because it would be too resource-intensive to provide transcripts for every quote. Articles from high-circulation newspapers often have five or more interviewees per article. Quality newspapers are averse to publishing quot

My perception of Bose, as a former regular audio forum reader, is that they are great for sport earphones (though this was before the Airpods were released, so this might be outdated). They also last a long time and are excellent for noise

Your advice on introspection is helpful, especially for people who find themselves repeating the same mistakes. However, I would like to add a caveat on introspection. For some people, an absorption with introspection and self-understanding

There can be positive effects of matching a story, but it depends on the journalists and the publication. Let's say The Wall Street Journal publishes a major investigative scoop, but you only pay for a Washington Post subscription. The

There's a term for that in journalism: "matching" a story. This traditionally involves legwork, such as contacting the same sources quoted in the first article to verify that facts are true. This legwork is usually done by tr

“Defective” could have been more precise, and would match the reporting (though I kept the title close to the source material’s to meet HN guidelines, truncating the start to meet the character limit).
