While AI can empower experts with strong prompt engineering skills, I don’t believe it enables the creation of truly complex solutions unless the user already possesses the necessary expertise. For seasoned developers, these tools are fanta

Really curious what would amount to 1.75 bathroom, I'm unfamiliar with the concept. One full bathroom and a second with just a a toilet/sink combination?

Nitpick: the HTML4 spec was released in December 1997, and HTML4.01 only in December 1999 so it probably wouldn't have run in 1996s Netscape.

I doubt it's useful to anyone but myself at this point, but it does work on my machine (taking 30+ sec per image). here's the git repo https://github.com/gdoct/batchscan

I was inspired by this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43745615 and built a simple workflow to process all my photos: for each photo it generates a text description, a list of keywords, and the mood. My plan fo

Sun tried to build one too, they called it the JavaChip iirc. It was meant for JavaStations, kiosk machines, and mobile phones but it never took off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor

This assumes that companies such as TikTok control their timeline up to the individual post, perfectly analyzed in order to extract your unique traits, and they have specifics ads lined up for you. Where - in my view - their timeline is ju

Now that's an interesting trend. It's no longer feasible to have an independent web site, because nobody will visit it because you don't have the page rank. Journalists that do find your site copy your data and may add a link

I really wonder how future archaelogists are ever going to decode our timeline. Imagine a meteor strikes, civilization falls apart, and in 20,000 years they dig up a data centre. Even if they get the computers to work and the hard drives ar

This is a really cool idea. Do you pretrain the model so it can tag people? I have so many photo's that it seems impossible to ever categorize them,using a workflow like yours might help a lot

Copy paste is so last year, just turn on agent mode in VS code or Cursor. It took me only a single prompt to convert a set of messy razor pages into a nicely structured React application.

True, it keeps wealth circulating domestically, fostering local economic activity. However, drawbacks of this system are higher costs for consumers and inefficiencies in production, so it needs to be balanced.

This essentially amounts to subsidizing industries that aren't competitive. It's like choosing to bake bread at home for $5 when you could buy it for just $2.

What supports your assertion that low tuition fees limit student numbers in Europe? This would only apply to non-EU students. I could very well claim the opposite, that high tuition fees limit student numbers in the US and make higher educa

Until a coworker needs to debug a specific edge case that was too specific for the single expression, and it all has to be rewritten back to long form. Dense code is not always better and sometimes makes a code base incomprehensable.

Credit scores often oversimplify risk, ignore nuanced factors, and can worsen financial struggles for those with low scores by pushing them toward higher costs. Countries without credit scores don't have higher interest rates or higher

The US government allowing a US company to operate in the US market, while the company enables a foreign country to access all US citizen's data. That's where the government is supposed to step in.

I always understood that the main reason for DRY is to ensure that the same business logic is managed only once in the codebase. I don't really care about having four similar functions for reading a file from disk, but I definitely wou

There was massive inflation with job titles. When I started, we had three levels: junior, medior and senior. Anything else was just vanity. But now nobody hires medior or below anymore, so senior is the new entry level, followed by principa
