What's going to happen when AI's are trained on data produced by AI's? I would guess that AI generated writing is going to converge to some banal, widely accessible style.

A few years ago, I had an iOS app that did audio notch therapy for tinnitus. Does the therapy actually work? For some people, maybe. From what I remember, the research papers I read on the subject indicated the therapy can help. I conducted

I read maybe half of the first book, and it was so bad I had to put it down. Maybe the translation is dry, or maybe the thin, stereotypical characters wore on me.

I kinda love the not-C compiler used for the $.03 Padauk microcontrollers. It's fun, but then again I'm an EE at heart and don't need a lot of abstraction on top of the hardware.

This is the kind of comment on HN that really, really annoys me. It's the kind of superficial analysis that seems reasonable only if you haven't studied any history or had any in-depth interactions with the people you're talk

Bingo. China joining the WTO also had the side benefit of delaying direct military confrontation with the US.

This guy pops up in many China threads to regurgitate CCP talking points.

I think Vietnam probably captures the atmosphere of China 20 years ago. Plus, Vietnamese people tend to be much friendlier and have better English literacy. I lived in Beijing and Shanghai during the good pre-Xi times, and I'm dying to

Before the lab leak theory became socially acceptable, there were a lot of useful idiots speaking up on HN, and they were protected by the admins. It seems to be less of an issue lately, but then again I try to disengage from any discussion

I've followed the Covid situation from the very beginning in Chinese media. The propaganda was immediate and overwhelming.

You might consider Vietnam. There's going to be a lot of growth and opportunities there for a while.

It has already happened with people's sense of direction. Lots of people have no idea where they are when they are driving due to being completely dependent on GPS. I see so much lack of situational and spatial awareness on the road. S

I used to be an engineer at Lennox.. HVAC is a mature and boring industry, so I can understand how it doesn't usually generate much interest among people who are attracted to startups. However, just because the industry is very mature

Yes. I figured everyone familiar with dating apps knows that Match owns Tinder.

I'd wager that Match has contracted out the creation and maintenance of fake accounts.

I have an external Magic Trackpad 2 running with Wayland/Ubuntu 22.04, and it works great.

That's the conclusion I came to as an indie developer years ago. There is so much artificial busywork with each new iOS release that is a PITA for a solopreneur. I had several testflight releases rejected by the moderators- like, bitch

My favorite is searching for a solution to an issue in google, finding exactly what I'm looking for in the search results, and then seeing the question closed for being off-topic etc.

Lame, no pictures of the art being discussed in the article. Images are from Getty Images. The author is neither on location nor is an expert on the subject. The youtube channel toldinstone does a great job of exploring ruins and artifacts.

You can do PID using a discrete output instead of analog/PWM. It's a common use case. I think I've seen an Arduino library that allows for this. Or, you can use whatever library you're already using and convert the PWM v

You're correct in that they only get power from USB. The HDMI sticks could display on the laptop with a HDMI-USB adapter. A slightly clunky but viable way to have a small, portable x86 computer.

There are mini stick PCs that are complete computers that go into a USB port for around $150.

Another reminder to have another payment processor ready to go. I need to see some horror stories about authorize.net or the big banks for comparison. At least the banks have staff you can talk with.

This stuff happens in China all the time. If you visit, you'll surely see some hilarious mistranslations. Probably not what the above poster was referring to, but here's a sample: https://www.reddit.com/r/engr

At my last corporate job, it meant I was in charge of maintaining and writing software for test stations in a r&d facility. That mainly meant Labview.

It's as if half of the people commenting here watched a soccer game for the first time today, lol. That's fine and all, but it's incredibly unlikely that a neophyte has all the solutions.

This is the quintessential American take on soccer. It's ok if you're not a soccer fan. Soccer doesn't need to be like hockey or basketball, where teams can be dogshit for most of the season and still wind up as champions.

Has public opinion on Gladwell changed? After reading a few of his books and seeing him speak, I have little recollection about what he said. Nothing sticks out as unusually insightful. He communicates effectively in a way that appeals to a
