I’ve had a Co2 monitor for years. I get headaches from increased Co2 levels plus the lethargic state. It’s been revolutionary - including on long drives where it’s def saved me fro…

I was home schooled - so my perspective of education is at best, unique. I finished a dual major undergrad at 18, got an MBA at 21. Based on my own experiences and those of people …

I’ve long wondered if this was deliberate - only conversations where the participants are overtly using the translator get parsed.

The post (after reading it) is not political in the today sense. It’s connecting an in vogue concept to toxic thought patterns and notes a correlation in both the patterns and tren…

Damn I thought this was just me. I figured it was a temp thing - device too hot for ongoing high brightness, and the photos app overrides because someone decided if you are trying …

You have to remember that Steve spent months, stories say half a year, preparing for the keynote. Arguments would get so heated he’d fire people and bring them back the next day to…

I can't find the link now, but Anthropic has a post about using either a light model call or other logic (regex etc) to dynamically decide what tools to expose per incoming request…

The site notes all starting images are GPT2 imagine gen or nano banana - so that’s probably part of it too.

You know, this comments page saddens me. I came to hacker news years ago because every single post had careful, intelligent discussion. Countless times people clearly put their emo…

I think the outliers have burned them more recently and even Apple loses historical memory over time. That said I remember everything you said and 100% agree - the nano killed ever…

If you need this, it’s a useful function. For me, a expanded duress feature would be unlocking into a fake home screen/instance where my banking apps or messenger apps are not avai…

Once upon a time you could live in a world of Windows apps designed like Notepad++. Launchy or other apps gave you the spotlight style of opening apps fast from the keyboard, and t…

From Ira Glass: “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this…

I think the safety of other humans eyes (lidar exposure) is the real negative for lidar use. The MKBHD YouTube video where he shows his phone camera has burned out pixels from lida…

Super noob in vector embeddings: I never considered that tables would be a complexifier. (beyond defining in a parseable format for ingestion). Do vector databases do better with l…

Slight tangent counterpoint; sometimes conveying knowledge requires the prettier / flair of a miro/lucid/figma or even full infographic style solution. I like md, and I like mermai…

This is a high area of focus for me and I agree: following a complex convo, especially when it gets picked up again 20-30 min later, is difficult. But not impossible. I’ve had succ…

American here; very accurate. On the digital ID part, the government + regulated industries like banking will enforce validating specific types of IDs via third party companies and…

My guess - he’s avoiding political risk. If something goes bad, it’s better to say “it was encrypted but they got the keys” than to defend data wasn’t encrypted. It’s semantics in …

Yeah I agree. But I’ll split it slightly. From a trust perspective I want a real demo. Technical team, deep dive, concept sold now talk me through it type stuff. From a “show non-t…

I’d encourage you to pursue it. I remember the old @breakingnews on Twitter when it first started, people listening to police scanners and typing info-dense one liners on what they…

I want to say thank you for writing this. 100% same opinion. I've stuck with Apple - despite their downsides - specifically for their zeal in areas like this. My phone works, I'm g…

Small review, 2013 BMW 335xi (drove for a test drive). Loved iDrive. Remained my benchmark for car infotainment UI for 10+ years. The main thing, you could DRVIE the car, aggressiv…

Agreed. Different for different people. Notification summaries are a lifesaver for me. Work MS teams but no copilot, lots of group chats about lower environment issues or prod issu…
