Yeah, that ought to boost the IPO.

This was my first impression as well. The layout options just didn’t work on mobile

True! Between improving training data and figuring out how to provide better context to the LLM, there will be rapid improvement within a year

I have always wondered at the lowest level how a camera captures and processes photos. Much appreciated post.

I just experienced this and was wondering why it was happening!

Thanks for the link. So basically, you are at a private game and if everyone has their phones out (and you are also an unsuspecting idiot), you are screwed.

Crazy that there is a USB port exposed outside the machine.

“An X-ray poker machine was employed to read facedown cards and a rigged card-shuffling machine was also used in the plot, prosecutors say.”

Would love to know more about such a machine, if anyone has any insight. Are these developed underground? How expensive could they be?

If it can efficiently take in a deck of cards and deterministically return a rigged deck in a reasonable amount of time, I would be fascinated at how they solved that problem.

They'll be working on it soon: https://x.com/mitchellh/status/1964826929326153898

Should we feel happy solving our problems with our fancy tools? Are our tools and in-depth knowledge a distraction to inflate our egos, or a sign of self-respect and passion?

I’m inclined to believe the latter. Our fancy tools provide so much more utility beyond keeping us happy. Our tools teach us new things and stretch our curiosity and creativity. Our happiness stretches us to solve more problems and ask better questions.

This group is much more tangible for me. Instead of trusting the status quo, this group fears it.

I think strengths are more difficult to define than weaknesses, because they are very context dependent. “Speed” may be useful in certain situations, but in many cases “speed” can be harmful in more ways than just overlooking details. You miss out on opportunities to learn, to ask for help, to become better at thinking critically as a software engineer.

What the idea of “strengths being weaknesses” reflects is how much we identify with our present state of ability. It seems like we get it backwards. We ask our jobs to fit us as people, rather than how we as individuals can become best for the job.

Can’t believe it has edit access, lol

So real. Most valuable component of this setup

lol. i’ll dunk on Apple as much as i’ll dunk on any other OS, but they wouldn’t be as praised for security if they had to manage the infrastructure and users that Windows supports

Best practice is until it isn’t. This is why we should prioritize innovation over process.

Leave it to Google to find a “responsible” AI

So fkn funny. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7pO39Sh6THg

We must believe in ourselves. We are too quick to be cynical about the future of the web - too quick to forget our ingenuity in the face of adversity.

FWIW this made sense to me right away

So true…

Love the connection to home studios. Everybody was able to make more music much more easily - but it also inflated the music industry with a lot of mediocrity. So some will find ways to use AI for greatness, but most won’t.

+ 1. Let me filter by most to least insane.

I’m no cybersecurity analyst, but there’s a reasonable amount examples that don’t seem that out there to me.

For those who get this better than I do, what would be the ideal set of password rules?

I’m surprised it’s taken this long to see something like this on HN.

Maybe something like this could be a propellant for legitimate copyright reform.

Same thing happened to me. Lol

Appreciate the note on making friends - I’m also not exactly an extrovert and I also make friends easily. I wish I would have known this sooner that it’s not as difficult to make lasting friendships as it may seem.

But it does take time.

Think we have been forgetting the necessity of relationships in a post-internet society. It can be a good thing to be intentional about relationships. The benefits don't only apply to introverts, it can also be important for extroverts to cut off harmful people from their lives and deepen connections with those they need most.
