How do "kid gloves" and "in good faith" fit into one paragraph? To me, your tone sounds quite condescending. No surprise you were not convincing.

"This hallucination was brought to you by the coca cola company." Given how picky the ad industry can be about where their ads are being placed, I somehow suspect this is going to be complicated. After all, every paragraph produc

Its basically a gpt4o in disguise. The feature is called BeMyAI, and it is being released via BeMyEyes. I would have answered earlier, but the silly HN rate limiter prevented me from passing the link to you. I dont want to look it up yet a

Orbit reader is the most low-quality device you can find on the market. This is like suggesting a bicycle to someone complaining about car prices.

Its for sorting by color/print. Some things you remember instantly by touch, others not so much.

Vision models are a godsent for blind user. I use a vision model to sort my laundry, for instance... And translation and grammar/spell checking is also at a level which was unthinkable before LLMs hit. But thats it, really. The &quot

Assistive technology costs are high because consumers barely have an alternative. I am blind. In Europe, a 40-cell braille display starts a 6k. 6k, just for a monitor which displays 40 characters . Prices are largely unchanged since 20

Oh, I really was just guessing here, since I was traveling without any tech, so I never needed a wall outlet... Thanks for pointing this out!

When I visited south america in 2006, I immediately noticed the water heating systems directly built into the shower heads. They were basically omnipresent, in every hostel I stayed at. I am a software person, with only bare minimum EE un

Seriously, hardcore history? I dont even remember where I heard from him, but I think it was a Lex podcast. So I checked out hardcore history and was mightily disappointed. To my ears, he is rambling 3 hours about a topic, more or less u

I am waiting for the day when one of them proposes to ban relationships altogether, because they have an inherent risk for partner violence... A certain TOS episode comes to mind, which depicted the aftermath of such a law.

If women get known for their hoarding, its typically for animals, not living things. Which is, if you think about it long enough, a lot more creepy!

I wonder how much a random username really adds to the security. Sounds a bit paranoid to me. Esp. if passwords are already disabled.

Slow and mostly self-serving service is a FEATURE? Sounds like stockholm syndrome to me. Its easy to socialize with a decently fast waiter. Bootlenecks are just that, a reason to avoid the restaurant.

Hmm, same here. Make is my go-to toll for writing top-level instructions on how to deal with a collection of files. (re)constructing data files (including dependency tracking of course), compiling files (implicit rules are great!) and all

I had Quicksilver as audiobook on a mp3 player during my 2 month trip through south america in 2006. Found the history lessons kind of interesting, but never managed to finish the book despite having a lot of time on my hands. Its just to

Well, I have to disagree regarding Seveneves. I was always a Stephenson fan, until I tried to read that book. Gave up in part three. It also left a sour taste, which resulted in me no longer caring about further books from him.

Why is democracy relevant here? Seems like a rather random words thrown in to support your point, without any actual relevance. We're talking supply-chain here. And capitalism. Both really dont care what and if people voted.
