I would argue it's less satisfying. I like bikes and I still had to look it up.

I'm one of those people who get annoyed if it's too loose. But I can just impose that restriction on myself and look down on people who rely on obscure words.

it sounds like the author (and you?) are using the CLI? I've found the mac desktop app to be great, or at least solve many complaints I had with the terminal version.

One gram of carbs is 4 calories., so more like 400 calories per hour. It was confusing when the running industry switched from calories to grams of carbs, but that's all anyone tal…

Someone should make a website or project and post it on HN, and then set up an AI agent takes the top comments and just implements them.

I live in Sausalito just north of SF. We have a few cameras on the way into town. Seeing this map actually makes me feel safer. Sure there are hypothetical privacy issues, but for …

Ya that's a good point for competitive scrabble. However today I think a lot of people's main exposure to Scrabble comes from WordsWithFriends (and recently, the new NYT games vers…

IMO scrabble would be improved by a similar limitation. There's too many nonsense words.

You didn't try them!? If you have the ChaptGPT app it's super simple and worth a try. I talk to it in French a lot. It gets tedious though, because after almost every question it t…

we have them for our cats, they're great. Sometimes they're hiding in bushes and we don't realize they're 10 ft away. Other times they're down by the neighbor's house. It's not per…

Congrats! I never stopped coding, but AI makes it way more productive and fun for sure. $100 seems like a lot. I guess if you think about it compared to dev salaries, it's nothing.…

What about the era of flash cartoons? Remember "End of Ze World"? In a way that's throwaway crap. Or it could have been written as a comic strip, or animated manually. But Flash ki…

It's pretty entertaining. People always like telling stories. Books, comic strips, movies, they're all just telling a story with a different amount of it left up to the viewer's im…

For sure! It's an interesting point. But from an economic point of view, it's better for consumers if there are clean boundaries and every layer is commoditized.

And you have to have a monopoly though? Farms provide the most value to the world but there's so much competition that it's commoditized, so as far as I know there's no super valua…

That's how competition should work. Every layer should have multiple providers until the companies get all of their profits squeezed away and users get the best possible price.

Definitely true in practice, but I don't think we want discretion. What I mean though is as a deterrent, you can either have a "fair" fine that's enforced 100% of the time, or 2x t…

That's a pretty extreme example, maybe the idea doesn't hold as much there. But yeah, if 99% of murders weren't prosecuted, the 1% who get charged might feel like they were singled…

It feels less fair though. When everyone is driving x mph over the limit but only you get pulled over, it sucks. So I agree for efficiency of enforcement, but I'd rather see 100% e…

why would OpenAI release an open weight model? Genuinely curious.

I haven't used Cursor or Claude much, how different is it from Copilot? I bounce between desktop ChatGPT (which can update VS Code) and copilot. Is there an impression that those h…

I thought it was a nice clear summary, I wouldn't care if it was from an LLM. This summary should be at the top of their page. Maybe it'd be nice if there were a Chrome HN plugin t…

A good point. Certainly for raster analysis it doesn't make sense. But any type of vector data could be modeled on a sphere, right? Points, shapes, lines. And I saw "better" becaus…

I remember learning about the infamous missile threat map in a GIS class - https://georeferenced.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/worldmapblund... https://www.economist.com/asia/2003/05/15…

> the software implementation is much less trivial Aren't most geospatial tools just doing simple geometry? And therefore need to work on some sort of projection? If you can do the…
