I have a hilarious list of animals that my cat has been misclassified as by my iPhone. Everything from a beetle to a nematode. It doesn't give me a lot of confidence in these features!

Can you elaborate more on the stigma? From my perspective, if I were talking to someone with hearing aids I wouldn't give it a second thought (or I would try to speak more clearly). Talking to someone with Airpods in, I might assume th

If the company doesn't have a dedicated recruiter and it's just the engineers / managers recruiting, it'll often take a long time because they have other priorities and may generally be waiting for the right person.

It seems to me that AI detection is best done in the editor itself. If you track a student's mouse and keyboard there should be a clear distinction between someone plagiarizing (even if they're re-typing word for word) vs writing

Truckers are required to have commercial licenses which makes traffic violations considerably harsher and more expensive. It would make sense to at least extend that to all vehicles over 5,000 lbs. Someone speeding in an F350 can cause a LO

That's to force-on privacy mode for your whole team. Without it you can still enable privacy mode manually.

Very interesting! I'd love to see a breakdown of various formats including YAML, TOML, CSV, and HCL with their relative cost vs accuracy.

Sqids[1] might fit the bill for you - the IDs it produces are much shorter than UUIDs, however they're not universally unique - they're generated from an integer sequence. 1. https://sqids.org/

I asked for an 'interactive particle simulation' and got a big gray rectangle. Then I clicked regenerate and the page crashed. To me it's not clear how I would debug the component, I can ask for modifications but not like add

Bitcoin only uses huge amounts of energy because the bitcoin community likes it that way. Nearly all other blockchains use some form of Proof of Stake model and their energy use isn't much more than a typical cloud service.

Ethereum is a strict improvement on Bitcoin in nearly every way. Proof of Stake is a much better consensus mechanism all-around. Smart contracts allow for way more use-cases than just money transfer. The account model is much simpler and mo

Two things that will help immensely: 1. Have sheer window blinds that let natural light in as the sun comes up. 2. Set your thermostat on a timer to raise the temperature in the room (or at least turn off AC) before you need to wake up.

If you want some empirical evidence: /r/subreddit simulator[1] is a Markov-based Reddit parody, and /r/SubSimulatorGPT2[2] is its LLM-powered cousin. The Markov version got way more upvotes and is simply funnier! 1. h

I use an AI calendar and scheduling tool every day, I just built it myself using OpenAI APIs, a Slack app, and Google Calendar API. You should give it a shot yourself because it's a great way to learn to build AI apps.

IMO, the best place to keep that rainy day savings is in gold coins that are well-hidden in your house. It'll keep up with inflation, easy to transport or grab in a pinch, cannot be taken by your bank, and are very quick to liquidate i

The AI generated images here are too glossy and shallow DoF. Very easy to tell.

Like many of you I use HN as a primary social network and Kagi as my search engine, etc. - but the relative unpopularity of these things shows that most users seem to be OK with their product getting enshittified. In fact, almost every time

If we were to harness all that energy into a mass the size of a space shuttle it could reach ~0.99999c. Neat.

What's the highest yield account that can be used to easily pay your credit card / debit card balances? Because having even just $20k sitting in a checking account ready to pay bills you're losing out on $1,000/yr.

To my knowledge, every bankrun on a non-algorithmic stablecoin has resulted in huge losses for the panic sellers, huge gains for the steady hands, and no lasting liquidity issues for the stablecoin itself. Tether, Dai, USDC have all had ban

What will be the structure of that upcoming monthly fee? I'm not interested in investing my time and money getting onboarded with a service unless I know the long-term fees are going to be amenable. If it said something like, "$15

This looks very cool - but I'm hesitant to sign up without knowing how you make money. Is it PFOF? Transaction fees? Flat fee?

Bitcoin will eventually need to move to Proof of Stake like Ethereum did. Or to maintain a fixed supply without any issuance whatsoever, Bitcoin could convert entirely into an ERC-20 on Ethereum (probably the best option but would never hap

Would love a few more sports channels, a local news channel based on your location, and maybe a video gaming channel.

Because with non-remote work like welders you're competing with the local market for welders. Of course if they're paying 30% below market that means they're not properly doing location-based compensation. It's also a pl
