> People love free. I worry about the longevity of some of these. Are they going to be free with little further development and just languish? If I was a graphics shop, I don't think I'd be jumping off Creative Cloud and re-gea

My mum's dementia has recently worsened to the point that she cannot figure out how to use the phone to ring people. She just finds it confusing and has caused her a great deal of distress. I ended up installing Big Launcher[1] as an a

The Australian sulfur-crested cockatoos are pretty smart. They would teach each other how to open heavy bin lids to raid the garbage. I seem to remember they would even team up to do it. There are studies about how this behaviour spread fro

I'm rather partial to MyBatis (and Liquibase) but I might have to give Jooq a try.

I really like this idea. Gonna need an "Awesome Axe" page that collects agents. One idea I'm thinking of is, after an agent has been in use for a while, and built up and understanding of the task, would be something like, &qu

For some reason this reminds me strongly of an old play-by-email game called C++Robots[1]. I loved the idea, but the timeslice limitation[2] I found too annoying. I had youthful dreams of re-implementing something similar that would run on

How have you been tracking down all the bits and pieces from your operating system that the agent still needs to do what it needs to? I'm working with Java projects and Gradle builds and the list of stuff is getting crazy.

The biggest hold-back for me is that, here in Australia, Google Wallet (aka Google Pay) is the only way you can do tap credit card payments that I know of. Can't with Paypal. Not with any banking apps that I know of. It's just s

Hey, at least you didn't pull the reflexive, "this must be AI slop!" comment that seems quite prevalent on HN lately.

It's also absolute awesome how every person's brain works the same way. It makes it some much more convenient that what works for one person works for every person.

I think perhaps the author's 35th lesson¹ is that brevity can lose nuance. I interpreted this one to be in the context where having them in your orbit is causing you (or others) harm, and it ain't something you can fix. ¹ Actually

Is there any way to take a cloned voice model and plug into Android TTS and/or Windows? I have a friend with a paralysed larynx who is often using his phone or a small laptop to type in order to communicate. I know he would love it if

I have two Aeropresses so I can make two cups at once for the two coffee drinkers in the house. I recently got a second shelf rack[1] so they can hang side by side instead of needing to put a plunger in the tube when one is hanging behind.
