I think both are useful, and generally if you have the time to do both, you should. For example, my go to when using a new framework or library that'll be a core part of a project, is to read its documentation in its entirety. I did th

I'm not sure if this is the best strategy for a drinks company :P I don't want to think about bacteria when I'm thinking of food/drink! But some of the variations in colours/patterns in the resulting photos are real

Oh that's such a shame, it was so fun! I wonder what this person's end game was. The site is down now. Why didn't they just release a game? I'd love to keep playing it!

This is phenomenal! And also highlights a design pattern which I'm hoping becomes even more popular because of AI: interoperable human readable file formats! Things like .ICS files. I'd love to see more websites/apps prioriti

Yeah it became a big topic of interest during the pandemic when everyone went remote. It's colloquially referred to as "zoom fatigue". That should find you some of the research. It's become a bit of a meme now: https:&#

I've had trouble implementing this in the past. We have biweekly social calls with my team, but a lot of people don't take part! And even when they do, when we have the full team (~12 ppl), usually maybe like 3-4 people dominate t

And here's the discussion that seems like potentially the source of a lot of the claims: https://discuss.python.org/t/for-your-consideration-proposed... . I wish the suspension notice had linked to the exact cases

This is an interesting story but this article looks really poorly written/biased. It didn't until the QA at the end clarify that this was a 3 month suspension. It instead started with "bans" in the title, walks back to &

Ok, "decent amount": Buying a coffee at McDonald's 3.5 days a week is a decent amount to spend on coffee. $150 is absurd. The "house painter" is making their own coffee before work.

I really wonder if consumers have any influence on phone designs. People generally buy phones for completely different reasons, the design just has to be "not bad" which generally means just take whatevers available that meets you

Tech is a really weird field; I think because of the high salaries, a lot of people are rich without realising they're rich. Tech is the "Nouveau rich". $28 a month on coffee is rather large amount to spend on coffee.

This is true, but I don't think the price translates. Most folks use their phones for messaging, internet, videos, camera. That's about it. And the things you do on your phone don't translate to these price tags. You're

Open library has covers/metadata; alas no spines! I built an interface similar to this for Open Library using library classifications for sorting: https://openlibrary.org/explore

Very cool! I love the animation. I worked on a similar interface inspired a while back for Open Library: https://openlibrary.org/explore . You have to go to "Settings > Book style > 3d-spine" to enable the e

They might use complicated tech because things are changing due to AI in a way that could degrade their brands trust. By having camera-signed videos, when folks create eg deep fakes of their news anchors/brands, there's a way for

I think the other comments make a good argument about how other forms of technology have also degraded trust, but that we've found a way through. I'll also add that I think one potential way we could reinstate trust is through sig

The incentive is to prove that the video is not AI generated. Useful for consumers, news organisations, camera manufacturers, etc. The idea would be you can still copy the file/change the video, but the signature will no longer be vali

It's really getting to the point where multimedia online shouldn't be trusted unless it's from a reputable source and cross verified. I wonder, is there a universe where maybe cameras are updated to add some sort of digital s

I think with news we have a benefit that it's generally all online, so we can link to the rating page and further link to the places where they failed. Unlike a nutrition label where you have to like buy a mass spectrometer to verify t

This is just the bare minimum standards level that a news organisation should meet. And this isn't based on a hypothetical; here's an article from the CBC: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alb

The hope is these ratings could more systematically help support good journalists, since news orgs will keep those journalists employed in order to keep their ranking up.

I can't say for certain but I'm not so sure the people you're describing are a sizeable majority. I think most people are just watching news and doing their best. If a news site has a "C" rating on it -- which would

I think it can work, but will require a very well designed set of rules. For example, with fact checking, some fact checking is easy. Eg if an article says "the unemployment rate last year was X%". You have to do some research to

That's why the key is verifiability. The org doing this should have a fixed list of checks they do, and every violation will be linked. This will limit the types of checks it can do, eg "bias" is a hard check that might not b

The more I think about the state of news, the more I'm convinced that we need independent rankings of news sites and journalism. Something similar to a health inspection score. With considerations like: - News needs to be verifiable. D

Is there a way to discover flagged posts? How did you find this one? Also what's a "vouch" capability? Edit: answered my own question: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/

The article goes through a few use cases where LLMs are especially good. Your examples are very different, and are the cases where they perform especially poorly. Asking a pure (ie no internet/search access) LLM for papers on a niche s
