The code for Eyes Up seems to be public [0](although there’s no license, so presumably is copyrighted). I bet that one could refactor it into a PWA. [0]: https://github.com/explore…

"I am beer" is a pretty funny typo ;-) But seriously, I wonder why this happens. My experience of working with LLMs in English and Japanese in the same session is that my prompt's …

In my experience it's less about the latest generation of LLMs being better, and more about the tooling around them for integration into a programmer's workflow being waaaay better…

I assume SoftTalker is referring to SWEs not being Professional Engineers. Professional Engineer (PE) != Engineer (in many jurisdictions) > A professional engineer is competent by …

Thanks for building this. Super stoked that the translation in on-device. I'll be downlaoding it and giving it a try today!!

This hasn't been my experience with English/Japanese translation with Google Translate. For context I used Google Translate for pair programming with Japanese clients 40 hours per …

This is fascinating to me as an ex-mainframer that now works on a niche hyperscaler. I would love to learn more! Will you let me know some of the names in the space so that I can r…

My general strategy is to find a community where $domainExperts hang out and figure out how they talk about $interestingThing, then refine my search from there using progressively …

That was my first thought too. But like TFA says, that still wouldn't prtect you from clerical errors.

Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I'm aware that VMware used to donate to a lot of causes and now Broadcom doesn't (source: I also work there :)). My point is that I'm surprised th…

As noted elsewhere in this thread, one of their large supporters was VMware[0], which was aquired by Broadcom at the end of last year. Although I'm skeptical that the loss of a sin…

I’m not meaning to equate the level of effort or skill involved. And I’ll grant that I know very little about music composition beyond my experience in Middle School band in which …

> sounds cool, now what can we do with that to make it into music? So a human using the tools of sound production is what transforms the function output into music. (Please let me …

Hey, I’m a born & bred Detroiter and I’m not sure what you’re referring to by “The Detroit major mass-murder”. Google wasn’t helpful, but I would love to know more; can you expand …

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Discussions like this are why I love HN I think I’ll be chewing on your final paragraph for some time. Thank you!!!

That is a fair critique of my current thinking :) I’ll certainly agree that the ‘red scare’ vibe to this bill makes me uncomfortable — even if I agree with the action overall. I ce…

Every useful idiot is one kind interaction away from being a useless critical thinker :)

Quite a lot! There are articles ad infinitum about how specifically tailored the TikTok algorithm is for many users. I certainly think that knowing very specifically what a substan…

I suppose that depends on what you mean by “propaganda”. Personally I think it can be convincingly argued that any message transmitted to you from a State is propaganda (Note: that…

I think this is simply a confusion over the meaning of words. You can indeed buy Full Self Driving ™ (FSD), but even then your Tesla is not capable of self driving, fully (eg, ther…

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had never heard of this incredible human, and I feel so inspired now that I do. Serendipitous connections like this are what make HN so magica…
