for your first one, if you're just feeding docs into a chatbot prompt and asking for a summary, i think that matches what the article would call a "chatbot product" rather than a summarization product. fireflies.ai is interes

you can click the share icon (the two-way branch icon, it doesn't look like apple's share icon) under the image it generates to share the conversation. i'm curious if the clock image it was giving you was the same one it was

Copilot completions in vscode are pretty great, and i think a lot of people are happy with that. in general i agree with you, adding an AI chat window to an app that isn't an AI chat app is almost always a detriment. but i think it&#x

i've spent plenty of time building custom PCs, but life changes and that's really not something i have any interest in doing any more. there's plenty of people who just want to play games without researching what CPU and vide

the difficult part of the highways is the interchanges, not the straight shots between interchanges. and iirc, tesla didn't do interchanges at the time people were criticizing them for only doing the easiest part of self-driving.

yeah, that makes sense. it's not about training somebody with a gun, it's about putting somebody on the list of "never ever give this guy a gun again"

except they say the training will include firearms and drone flight.

i don't think they're really expecting people to serve a useful role in the military. it's a "supplemental reserve", meaning a level below ordinary reservists. it sounds like basically if the country was ever in a

i feel like HN is usually at least a little bit better than this. the comments are often full of silly gripes, but they don't usually get voted up to the top of the homepage and stay there for hours

am i missing something here, or is this really just a random two-sentence gripe from some guy, complaining about something that nobody else can reproduce? "dave is mad at gmail". okay dave.

for a smart home device company who wants to be the platform by means of vendor lock-in, it offers them nothing. but that's not everybody, and hopefully the companies trying to do that fail. for companies that make some appliance and

the skinny with all smart home tech is that if you try to get by without a hub of some sort, you're signing up for endless frustration. can you use a dumb timer instead of a smart one? if you just want to set a schedule, there's

nah, performance benefits are mostly wasted on consumers, because consumer hardware is very infrequently CPU-constrained. in a datacentre, a 1% improvement could actually mean you provision 99 CPUs instead of 100. but on your home compute

just from my own anecdotal experience, it's easy to prioritize apple because apple users are not only more inclined to pay for software, they're more inclined to use it. even on web apps that are exactly the same across platform
