At the large insurance company I'm doing some work for the big capability gains have yet to materialize. There are some pockets of workflow innovation but big institutions can carry a kind of inertia and are slow to adapt. But as the o

Using AI to process meeting transcripts opens up some useful scenarios such as knowledge capture - tacit, detailed instructional, planning and work break down, etc. Creating documentation in this way encourages meeting discipline, speaking

Maybe restrict Show HN posts to 70 or 100 characters - readers can then scan many, and quickly find stuff of interest. The clarity and focus this discipline would enforce could have a pleasant side effect of enabling a kind of natural evolu

Great job and thank you, I will be using this. I already love to use my phone camera, it's nice to have a glitch option.

There certainly are arenas where LLM writing provokes adverse reactions, and in general I think people are becoming less tolerant of it. Personally, I often find the smell of AI annoying, but I don't mind the way you used it in this ar

Well worth watching, Adam Curtis takes you on a wild ride around recent history and strings together an amazing viewpoint - intentionally fucking with how you emotionally understand the present, by showing how power, myth, and simplificatio

In northern Greenland they make kiviaq: in the summer go out with a large net and catch about 500 auks (small sea birds). Stuff them whole into a single seal skin, sew it up and bury it under a pile of rocks. After 6 months eat the whole bi

Yes. I took over the project management of a job where the previous project manager had spent a year planning it out, but development had not yet started. The client was furious, understandably. I abandoned the plans from the previous PM an

I find that ballpark estimates are often more accurate than estimates based on work breakdowns ... and this concurs with OP's observation that estimates tend to miss due to the unknowns.

Has anyone used this technique with other LLMs that are good at coding but not so expensive: for example Qwen 3 Coder?

Nice job! Added to my home screen. Firefox on Android - seems to work perfectly. Any plans to develop this further? I'm not sure how doable this is but I'd love to be able to program African polyrhythms on my phone. I think the ma

--looking back at the chat session the religious sources appeared when I challenged Perplexity to ask it why it mislead me. It then lied again when it denied that it had included religious sources. A typical link from the sources is to Luke

The Chris Titus utility has worked very well for me. I used it to de-bloat Win 11 after I upgraded the OS last year. I run Win 11 on an old tiny NUC PC that has Windows 10 before - now it does seem faster, is very stable and is not so annoy
