What a tasteless comment. Just because someone works at a grocery store does not mean they’re a “poor person”.

I’ve found it depends on the store and what you’re trying to do. Larger higher traffic grocery stores have their weight sensors calibrated much more finely. At kroger for example i’m always frustrated i forget to register my bag and need to

The youtube company wants me to stop unblocking their ads. That's okay, I'll still keep watching that garbage.

I was in the same boat and opted to use this moment to make the switch to an iPhone 15P. It's an interesting transition, haven't fully bought in yet. If I stayed on Android I would probably be looking at an Asus Zenfone 10. Simila

I've let Google track my location history for over 10 years now. On top of being incredibly useful (and fun) to remember where I was and when, I always imagined it would come in handy as an alibi if I was ever accused of a crime.

It can be that simple, but there are plenty of times where the easy route doesn’t work. Sure it’s solvable with 5 minutes of googling and applying the top stack overflow solution, but of course the interview is not the time for that. And th

One thing I found incredible recently: The advanced data analysis version of GPT-4 can apparently do OCR by writing code to run pytesseract and then interpreting the result. I was seeing what would happen if I gave it an image and found it

Yeah lol I had the same thought. I almost expected it to zoom out and be a guy with his hand up the robotic arm.

Yeah, I think people were overly optimistic given the initial progress. The Asahi team has done incredible work to be sure with just getting it running and the GPU driver. But there is a long tail of things to fix to make it truly usable as

Read a little closer. The thesis of the article is that you need to transition from personally managing sales and marketing to hiring someone else to manage them. It's a difficult transition that requires a different skill set than jus

This article hits on something I've noticed before that is perhaps obvious to many but always seems unintuitive to me: past a certain point, generic "management" skill is the limiting factor irrespective of domain. Sure, it h

I've gone back and forth on this. It's frustrating there is no way to provide yourself a fully "grounded" digital footprint in the same way your financial footprint is grounded to the US legal system. AKA in a financial&

The issue is that a good DSL shouldn't be a "language", it should be a tool, a textual UI that is designed by and for power users for a particular task. When you are doing something 500 times a day you want a hyper efficient

Damn I literally thought this was about Hot Chips at first and I got psyched to see some potato chip discourse on HN.

Maybe a hot take but copilot CLI has obviated the need for this kind of thing for me personally. Most of my shell commands are incredibly simple, and now with copilot CLI, I have a 80% head start on anything more complex. In fact sometimes

In a manner of speaking. TikTok solves the distribution problem for short videos, but not TV shows or movies. As the time to consume goes up, you face more of a gamble on whether consuming that piece of media will be "worth it". B

One way that Discord is similar to Reddit (and, imo, a reason for it's relative success) is that it operates on the same authorization model. A single pseudonymous account gets you access to many disparate communities. In either case,

What front end is better than ChatGPT? Is the OP implementation doing running summarization or in-convo embedding lookup?

This is effectively my question. I assume there is some magic going on. But how many engineering hours worth of magic, approximately? There is a lot of speculation around GPT-4 being MoE and whatnot. But very little speculation about the ma

I don't believe that's the whole story. Other conversational implementations use sliding context windows and it's very noticable as context drops off. Whereas ChatGPT seems to retain the "gist" of the conversation m

One thing I still don't understand is what _is_ the ChatGPT front end exactly? I've used other "conversational" implementations built with the API and they never work quite as well, it's obvious that you run out of
