I've recently discovered that you can buy audiobook transcripts.

I've been impressed by the results I see there. And you've chosen a sick name for it.

How would we really rule anyone out?

Haha, HN seems to have removed your demo whitespace. (Even in the source)

I recently started swimming for fitness after not doing so since 10 years ago in high school. I get a rush of nostalgia and a good feeling whenever I catch a whiff of chlorine on my hands or hair throughout the day.

What do you mean that the analog loophole gets stronger? Are you saying that the AR technology is getting good enough that ad-blocking can be done there instead? That's true, I guess.

I agree with sibling comments that battery life would be the real issue here, but I was astonished to see the $9 price tag on this. Incredible.

Who knows, maybe the climax of the advertising/drm war will result in an ideological split of the Internet: On the one side: Big tech. E2E DRM, Chromium is the only browser engine sites will respond to, unavoidable and unblockable ads,

Your "end-game" AI tool sounds good, and would work I think, but I think the opposing endgame strategy for advertisers is fully verified DRM chain all the way from incoming network packets to the display's pixels. Network -&g

You must be referring to the default and large subreddits. I find Reddit to be quite pleasant (despite overused jokes etc) once excluding any sub above like 20k.

The claim (which generally I'm inclined to believe) is that requiring a phone number drastically increases the cost to sending spam. That in turn drastically reduces the spam amount.

I'm enjoying learning about shopping cart / trolley-based game theory. Haha

Thanks for being very clear about the presence of affiliate links.

(Reply depth reached) I guess if you're filtering through a big crowd then indeed you could get really close to people and their wallets. I thought GP was saying you could immediately skim every person in a crowd at once.

It sure seems like modern hardware's speed is wasted on making things slightly easier for devs, rather than speed or performance increases for users huh. If 29 layers of abstraction saves a little dev time over 5 layers, that's fi

To do this, are they using some kind of modified payment terminal with extended range somehow? My understanding is that the NFC coils have to be very close, like single-digit cm to get any kind of power or data through.

Related - Once I switched to using a password manager, I use it as a convenient checklist to go through all my never-used accounts and request deletion once every few years.

Oh man, me too. The garbage that fills the homepage of yt I think is truly the least-common-denominator bottom barrel stuff. We really have raced to the bottom with clickbait titles, thumbnails with "WOW" faces and neon colors, et

That's what I was asking about. How likely I am to succeed at a DIY job seems to depend on the number of the "weird bits" as you describe them.

Do you feel like the number of invisible footguns was manageable? That's always my concern with diy trades stuff, the things that seem fine at install but come back to bite you 6mo later.

If they were really smart, they'd parse and use that info to their advantage. Have info+autozone@domain.com? Send company-specific phishing emails to +apple, +wellsfargo, +$POPULAR_COMPANY every other week

I was going through my book collection the other day and it occurred to me that a recipe book is one of the only good ways (for now) to tell that a recipe was tested and designed rather than generated. That and a reputable author online pub

That's a great question. They already do some sort of post-model filtering and output-checking, right?

I guess they disappear as they approach the horizon because the light is spread/absorbed too much by going through more atmosphere?

It is from OpenStreetMap. (see header and footer.) You can fix any errors you see!

Same situation with DNA. I may avoid getting an online genome test, but once a couple cousins send theirs in I'm basically a part of the network at that point

Perhaps GP meant that the end result is a net good, since now it's in the books that it was positively, explicitly struck down? (Rather than being ambiguous or assumed, with no records etc.) Anyway, reading sibling comments it seems li
