At my current job, a 10 person startup, the CEOs job is to generate leads, talk to potential customers, and close deals. He, along with the other founders, shape what we work on based on what he thinks it’s possible for us to sell. He’s e

Do you find the results are better when you use the same query on Google? Because I’ve also exclusively used DuckDuckGo for the past 5 or so years, and every now and then I get frustrated by the results try Google. But only once did Google

I was one of the solvers. It took me about a week to figure out. This is what I wrote out in my submission with the answer: > After looking at the final two layers I was somewhat quick to intuit that this was some sort of password chec

On the Apple TV you get ‘ads’ for the apps you have in your top row, with different levels of interactivity. Some are just logos of that streaming service, some show recently watched. The Apple TV app has full-blown ads for Apple TV+ origin

Idk how popular it is but I know at least one person that does that. I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets more normal in the coming years.

This thread seems to have a lot of people that love the iPhone mini (me included - I still use my 12 mini). But from all reports that you can find with a quick search it seems clear that it did not sell well by Apple standards. I would love

It is interesting seeing the difference in model perception between “normal” people and the Hacker News crowd. My perception is that a huge percentage of the mass market just like OpenAI because they were the first to market and still have

This is a great comment. I’ve noticed a new genre of AI-hype posts that don’t attempt to build anything novel, just talk about how nice and easy building novel things has become with AI. The obvious contradiction being that if it was really

I typically get AppleCare on my phone and then get a new screen and battery right before the window is up. AppleCare is cheaper than the cost of those repairs plus I have the added peace of mind that if something bad does happen I have App

That last point (compliance gaps in fintech) sounds fascinating. Is there a place that I could read more about this?

I’m looking forward to checking this out when I have time tonight or tomorrow. I was actually just looking at different open source tools I could run locally that would allow agents to write and execute their own Python code. Seems like th

Interesting to see what I feel like is a big disconnect between the article and the comments. In my interpretation the author of the article is doing this almost more out of respect for those around him than himself. As a photographer he w

I have mixed feelings. Generally I don’t think that LLM output should be used to create anything that a human is supposed to read, but I do carve out a big exception for people using LLMs for translation/writing in a second language. A

I agree with this. I do mostly DevOps stuff for work and it’s great at telling me about errors with different applications/build processes. Just today I used it to help me scrape data from some webpages and it worked very well. But w

I think this is the biggest problem with this post. Sure, I can definitely see how it might be fun to make an app in a day or two and release it to yourself and a couple friends. But any app that a decent number of people would want to dow

This is likely because you bought a pair of AirPods when they were already very popular and everyone thought they were stylish. I bought my first pair of AirPods very close to their initial release and everyone looked at me like I was an id

If you have a 3D capable setup Gravity is a must! Avatar and Life of Pi are also some favorites. There’s also a few gems and lesser known films that were released on 3D Blu-Ray like Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder, which was shot in 3D but w

I have met people that will do this, and trust me, they are worth avoiding.

You are correct. I suppose it is a lot more nuanced. I believe a sound argument for copyright/DMCA would require: 1. Arguments to be made for the social utility in laws enabling such business models to exist, and 2. ethical considerati

Why do you say that “2049 is obviously the superior movie”? You don’t give any reasoning, so I can only assume that you’re implying newer=better? Is The Batman (2022) obviously superior to The Dark Knight? (I was not alive in the 80s and lo

I agree! I’ve often told my friends that the somewhat ‘boring’ nature of HackerNews is a feature, not a bug.

I also like the small and usually invisible scroll bars that the author is against, like the ones in MacOS. Though I only just realized that I can’t remember the last time I have used one to scroll the page - for me they always act as indi

In my final semester I wrote/directed a short film with friends that I met in the university’s filmmaking club. Most of them were Freshman or Sophomore. I was looking forward to discussing some deeper and more obscure films with them,

From what I understand in the post getting lucky enough to see that big of a change in this situation would be like getting 1000 head flips in a row. It’s not luck you could expect to ever get.
