I'm baffled by how how many web developers have the attitude of "React projects are too complex, let's put another layer of abstraction on top of React to simplify things". Of course, usually for things that should never

Regarding YouTube, I'm very split. I wish the platform would give control to the users. There is a lot of stuff I want to see, like.. I subscribe to people because I want to see their things, show their videos on my front page. On the

Wow, I didn't expect someone to remember Planetarion! I played it back then but I have no idea how popular it was overall.

The website gets stuck on the fancy loading animation in Firefox. Not a great (jump)start.

I just found out about YMO in January and have been slightly obsessed with them since then. Now another member dies, it's sad to read. Seeing this on the front page of HN is nice though, and I just am now realizing the massive breadth

Since the music is used without permission, it's reasonable to assume that the liveatc stream is as well.

Do you have any contact info? If you're available for freelance work, I'll note down your contact, since we plan to do accessibility testing in the future :)

Author claims "resulted in thousands if not millions of preventable deaths." but never elaborates on what these deaths were caused by in his view or what should have been done differently. Also hindsight is 20/20. Since this

I prefer not posting my e-mail address right here in the comments, do you happen to have Discord, Twitter or Mastodon? Discord server for the project is: https://discord.com/invite/STPwnYqcnW (Not a fan of Discord myse

2 questions: What are the source data you used to train the algorithm? And, in case the source data are copyrighted by a third party, do you have consent?

Let's get in touch! There are countless broken and missing episodes, the good news is that the original tapes are now at the internet archive. So currently the plan is to fix episodes that are slightly broken (audio off sync, mono audi

I came here to post just that! On a different note, I'll take this chance to plug the Computer Chronicles Metadata project! If you're really into Computer Chronicles, you might even want to join our efforts to properly archive e

Discord is a bloated UI nightmare. There are so many awkward choices. Most annoying is that the server list is icons only. There are many servers with similar icons. Just allow me to have actual text there.

I haven't used AirBnB for years for one simple reason: Their policies are user-hostile. I booked an apartment in a big city, on the day I arrived the host cancelled. I got my money back and was stranded and had to get a same-day accomm

I think it's easy to - seeing the results - draw too many parallels between artificial neural networks and human brains. Art created by humans is very different. Dall-E gets fed tagged images and produces images that match tags. Art cr

No, it's not. Art created by humans is not just looking at other art and trying to copy it. It's a culmination of a whole life of experiences and the personality of the artist. Looking at other peoples art is inspiration and usefu

by karpour 4y ago
I find this completely unethical. You're basically exploiting every single artist whose art was used - without agreement - as training data for Dall-E. It would be different if all the training data was art that was explicitly licensed

You can compare both, and find out that they're radically different. seti@home, folding@home, etc. are just about the complete opposite of POW coin mining. People supply their computational power while expecting no reward, that's

You're sharing the wrong story. This is about the corruption scandal of H.C. Strache. Of course Kurz was in the government with the extreme right party back then, but this was not the cause for his downfall. (Though it was reason for o

that was my first thought too. ndjson makes a lot more sense there. You don't want to keep the entire streamed API response in memory anyway.

I have a reMarkable 2 for a while now, and I'm super happy with it. I specifically didn't want an Android device because of the obsolescence. The reMarkable doesn't run much in the background and does its job well. I bought i
