Same.

It doesn’t matter if the foreign workers are contractors or employees. The expense is considered R&D and must be amortized over 15 years. I’ve dealt with this personally since 2023…

Met my cofounder on HN in 2017. We’ve since been working on a consumer saas app called Readwise for past 6 years.

thank you.

we were testing bionic reading’s claim. they make no claims to only working when reading challenges are present.

i made the dataset publicly available. all the distributions are approximately normal.

these might be the kindest words i've ever gotten in a hacker news thread so thank you! :D we've actually built an app for reading articles and ebooks (and RSS and PDFs and email n…

thanks marc! appreciate the kindness. ps- philly native here :)

hey there! thanks for the kind words :) on AI-based booked summarization, here's a really interesting article by OpenAI on the topic: https://openai.com/blog/summarizing-books/ *an…

thanks rasul! on an individual basis, there is some evidence that reading with your "best" font may have a meaningful impact on reading speed with no loss of comprehension. but you…

i got that feedback a lot after initially posting the experiment: > Since posting this experiment, I've received a lot of side comments along the lines of, "Well, of course I don't…

nice to meet you, Nick! shooting you an email now :)

My best interpretation of the test results is that Bionic Reading is just an exotic text styling that has no impact -- positive or negative -- on reading speed or reading comprehen…

Hey everyone, this is the follow up post to the experiment posted here on Hacker News a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31826204 . I'll be hanging out in the re…

for sure. due to this improved experiment design, we should now have the data to perform paired analyses rather than just looking at means. what test do you use to compare variance…

yeah i acknowledged that in the experiment design discussion > We recognize this is clearly not a gold standard, double-blind RCT. Researcher and participant alike knew what Bionic…

sorry about that. that was an oversight on our part, but we're collecting the comprehension scores in the dataset and will include in our results hopefully sometime next week.

we’re capturing desktop versus mobile :)

we'll definitely make a follow up post once we've gathered enough data here! hopefully in a week or so :) (my results were 2% faster with BR)

what app is he talking about?
