The title lis little misleading: "Note that the base character does not need to be an emoji – the treatment of variation selectors is the same with regular characters. It’s just more fun with emoji." Using this approach with non-e

then we will have 2 incompativle invite systems: form Apple and from Google. The correct way to do this is to publish an open standard/API so 3rd parties can participate.

From the article: "As Tomchuk experienced, if a site isn’t properly using robot.txt, OpenAI and others take that to mean they can scrape to their hearts’ content." The takeaway: check your robots.txt. The question of how much load

I get the nostalgia, but it’s worth noting that modern metallurgy has far surpassed classic knife-making techniques. Industrially-made knives are stronger and hold an edge much better.

The article touches on the impact of AI in this field but doesn’t mention a potential issue: the possibility of AI being used to rewrite text in a way that makes it unrecognisable and impossible to trace.

Does this statistics include private roads? Or it is only roads accessible to public?

I don’t think this is the main point of the paper. They’re not claiming that AI is capable of scientific breakthroughs. Rather, they argue that AI excels at summarising vast amounts of existing scientific knowledge.

Is it just a web wrapper around good old `cdecl` command? Or it does something different/better?

I have to deal with spotify links sent to me often and this is great. The better link would be to the actual service page, not github repo: https://idonthavespotify.donado.co/ It would be fantastic to have this as an extens

On your #1 issue: it’s a well-known and acknowledged problem. Basically, the current Thunderbird doesn’t have unique message IDs across folders, which causes issues when displaying messages from different folders in threaded view. One of th

I do not know how it is financed, but I would rather have them use these funds to fix desktop version first. Content advisory: longish rant ahead. I have 4 email accounts: 2 Gmail, 1 Outlook, and 1 ProtonMail. I also use Google Calendar and

Have you considered translating formulae to MathML for rendering?

They promised to keep the files hosted forever with live URLs so people could see them. I agree; it is a bizarre business model. I recall they had a limit on how much you could upload each month, so I guess they calculated how monthly fees

That reminds me of Flickr, which took my monthly fee with the promise of lifetime storage for uploaded photos, even if I stopped paying. Of course, they broke that promise. I don’t use them anymore, but some of my friends still do, despite

Slightly offtopic: many commenters lament that latex is slow. I switched to https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/ which is very fast and have better error reporting.

Looks good! I will try when you add email parsing feature :) It is a pain to input details manually but I like having all my information in once place when I travel: confirmation numbers, hotel addresses, phone numbers, etc. On plus side, a

Now, it looks almost like a binomial distribution. Yet, an Uber driver may not feel like being in the same bucket as someone worth $499M. The diagram makes the point but misses subtlety.

by vzaliva 2y ago
Correct. From the user's point of view, forward the email confirmation and have it added to your itinerary. Internally, it could use ChatGPT or anything else to parse it and call the import API.

I am a frequent traveller and stuck using TripIt. It has an antiquated UI and is not well-supported. That said, the killer feature they have is email parsing. Instead of filling the endless field of a form to enter my airline ticket or hote

The text left me wanting a more formal treatment of the theorem. I went ahead and found a paper which does just that: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/564585.564601 PDF: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~ad

Satellite SOS, recently introduced in iPhone and Google Pixel phones, will help a lot with lost hiker cases. However, drone-based search will still be useful in case the hiker broke the phone or is too incapacitated to use it.

Trusting something as private as my personal diary to 3rd party sounds like a scary idea from a privacy point of view. Imagine someone hacking this site, exposing your very private information. I wish there was something like that end-to-en

I feel a little disappointed as most new features announced pertain to applications shipped with the OS, rather than the OS itself. Many of these apps I do not use, as I prefer third-party alternatives. For example, I use Firefox instead of

I think the statistics they use to compare to human drivers are slightly misleading. They compare to the average human driver. I'm not sure I would entrust my life to a random driver, who could be a teenager who just got their driver&#

At least all this plastic is now stored in one place and did not end up in rivers and landfills yet. There is a still a hope for happy ending of this story.

There was a post here on HN some time ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36681814 ), basically explaining that HDMI is terrible and DisplayPort is a much better technical solution. So, perhaps people should favour D
