I feel that way about a lot of very long instructions. It seems that many of these projects are not benchmarked, so it's difficult to know whether there is an improvement in any ci…

Imagine being a new GitHub user and you're trying to find the menu. Realizing that you have to click on a bunch of pancakes to get where you need to go would be pretty annoying.

Yup but on third party apps, where you can download an mp3, there is not always a built-in transcription option

I find voice memos really annoying, so I’ve been dropping them into a Whisper frontend for a while. Something built into the OS would be nicer though.

Plus, email access is assumed for identity verification these days. Whether that's porting a number out from a wireless carrier or any service that has your email but not your phon…

You can also look at past posts by the same author (before LLM usage proliferated) if you’re curious. The project is still very cool, but it’s a little less enjoyable to read when …

It rubs me the wrong way that the person opening this PR says "we have decided not to implement OS-level age attestation" when they seem to have no prior involvement with systemd, …

https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/jane-street-accused-o... is a pretty normal one

The main thing I don’t see being discussed in the comments much yet is that this was a good_first_issue task. The whole point is to help a person (who ideally will still be around …

Your response sounds like AI, but I'm going to read it in good faith. The distasteful thing is using a community instead of being part of it. And hey, I know everyone's doing it, b…

It’s kind of lame to post the same clickbait three times in under 24 hours. I guess it’s nothing new, but feels inorganic.

In the old days, you'd take a survey on a McDonald's receipt and get a coupon for a free fry or something. These days, every product will sign you up for a newsletter without conse…

I agree, I think the author had some thoughts in their head that they forgot to write down, because it feels like at least a few paragraphs making the connection are missing. Happe…

The reason is that most people interpret the comment as noise. It’s very long, so it takes up a lot of space and makes it harder to find comments by people. On HN it’s best to just…

Why not use headphones, so you can enjoy noise without bothering people who don’t like noise? Some noise can be uncomfortable to people at an airport. Movies with gunfire or shouti…

I used to work at Best Buy replacing pricing stickers before the store opened. We had a sheet of new stickers for changed prices every time and had to scan every sticker in the sto…

I disagree in principle, but your comment was actually pretty interesting, so I still upvoted it! I sometimes watch shorts when I go directly to a creator's page, but still notice …

Post should've been titled "1.3 billion passwords were exposed", because, even though the number is slightly smaller, it actually represents something much more important.

Hah, sounds like OS X! I have every possible Universal Control setting turned off, yet the process continues running and slurping up CPU cycles. It's impossible to kill or really d…

If you'd like to change that, you can go to System Settings → Battery → Options → Wake for Network Access Or just search for "Power Nap" (what it used to be called). They usually w…
