I've noticed there seems to be a default style that is easier to detect. I've noticed it harder to detect when asking an LLM to use a different style (more conversational, avoid sounding like an AI, don't use emdashes, etc). I wonder if that's what you're picking up too - the instances where people make no effort to change the style of the output.

As a long-time Costco member and very minor shareholder (like 10 shares), lawsuits like this are frustrating. It is in my best interest as both member and shareholder for Costco to relentlessly look for opportunities to reduce costs, including getting credits back from procurement and sourcing. It would be costly to try and determine the tariff impact to every member and then pass it back along. I'd rather see those funds contribute to keeping prices low by offsetting other cost pressures.

I have 3 kids (14, 12, 11). I could have used something like this when they were around 10-12 to create some accountability for simple tasks like "pick up your room" or more commonly the dreaded 20 minutes of reading, especially when they ask for extra screen time.

The demo video has more than I would ask my kids to do, but 1-2 minor things that should be done every day isn't a sheesh to me.

It seems the problem is looking for a single picture to represent the whole. Why not have generative AI always generate multiple images (or a collage) that are forced to be different? Only after that collage has been generated can the user choose to generate a single image.

I put this together about a year ago to run J/Jupyter in binder https://github.com/joebo/jkernel-docker

I have been looking for a solution where I can remote into my company laptop in a pinch from my phone. Many of our cloud resources are moving to be private IPs and VPN only, which can only run on corporate managed devices. I have a few PIs sitting around and it seems like it would be $100-$200 even with a PI to build (pikvm hat is $150 and tinypilot wasn't obvious what the BOM is).

Is there a lower cost or simpler solution? Company hardware is windows and VPN is fortinet and WSL2 is allowed

Check out ossu/math. Good list of resources and community on discord https://github.com/ossu/math or ossu/datascience has suggested math prerequisites for data science https://github.com/ossu/data-science

Looks good. We use CoCalc for similar collaboration benefits. There is a self-hosted option which was important to us. CoCalc has been a game changer as we've all moved remote. Once Deepnote adds the self-hosted / cloud option (I see it coming soon) we'll check it out.

Seems like an advertisement for a book to get access to the content. The book is authored by the same person who wrote the article and the poster is new. I flagged it

I understand that naming conflicts make things harder to search for, but I don't like the notion of a 'we' saying how things can be named. People should be free to name their projects how they see fit and whatever connects with them. A person would likely need to search for 'unicorn emulator' anyways and it comes right up.

There is likely a sizable number of your trial users from HN who signed up merely to better understand it and see if it actually works. It crossed my mind to do it, so presumably others too. The initial spike could be largely driven by technical curiosity instead of real need.

Nice work. A few thoughts came to mind after reading other comments.

I wonder how the tree concept works when responses are long or short. It seems to me that short would encourage more of a "ping pong" style thread which may be desirable in a tree form instead of a long-form question and reply.

It may be interesting and enjoyable to contribute to a site if there was a short length constraint placed on the reply. For sake of example, let's say it was 140 characters. That would force replies to be concise and give more of an anchor for others to jump off on in the conversation.

It could also make it more of a competition -- who can succinctly reply to the question with the most clarity?

Lastly, I think this could go a long way towards mitigating the curse of knowledge when people communicate. I see this and experience this when I participate in technical forums. It's easy to use jargon or advanced topics that the person may or may not understand. The tree approach gives a simple way for a follow-up question around the topic.

You may even consider tying this into the "five whys" which is a common questioning approach

This looks similar in many ways to mithril[1] -- somewhat similar api - mount, view, r("input") vs m("input"). The counter example[2] looks similar[3] I'd be interested in seeing comparisons between the two.

Your templates feature is useful and seems to be missing in most notes apps I've looked at. We are looking for a tool to create our playbooks in and then track the execution of instances of those plays. For example, a "onboarding playbook" can be cloned for each instance of a hire.

Similarly, we and many other companies have their own custom project lifecycle which would be a useful template to be able to create and track for each project.

Yes, I would pay a little more. $5/mo is the max -- any more than that I would probably just do a family plan or something. I would prefer something nominal like $2/per device/per month

I like the idea of this as a second device that has phone capabilities. I wish it were easy/quick to switch between multiple devices on the same cell plan. I don't particularly want to go out running with my google pixel, better to use my 4 year old phone for that. I could see taking the Ektra out on a hike if I could toggle it on as the activated device without going through the hoops of calling verizon.

It seems KDB excels at queries, joins, and aggregates on large datasets. I have limited experience with redis, but if that type of code would need to be written in c/python with redis then KDB may have a performance and productivity lift. I would like to see an example like that.

Another benchmark is here: http://kparc.com/q4/readme.txt

I assume to keep licensing current to support legacy code. I would be surprised if much revenue comes from new installs

Alternatively, just resize your browser window/tab.

This greatly helped my understanding of how compilers work.

How different would the implementation be for x64? Would it primarily be a matter of translating opcodes and calling conventions? For example, pop ecx is 59 [1], and on x64 it looks like it would be pop rcx, which is also 59 [2][3].

This also works on win32 under mingw32. I forked and added support for it: https://github.com/joebo/c4/blob/master/c4x86.c

Wording suggestion - I had no idea what this phrase meant: "You have at least 1 year commercial XP or skills that match." After about 2 minutes of thought I deduced that it must mean experience. I first thought it meant XP = Extreme Programming

nicely done. I will try using it with my coworkers. The video was helpful with suggestions on zooming to draw text.

But had you successfully created a startup, you would be able to spend even more time with your kids.

What's the measure of success? Is the measure to generate or exit with enough income to spend more time with my kids? If so, that's pretty rare I think. By "more time", I assume we mean substantially more, as in, not having work a full time job and maintain current lifestyle.

That's the 1 in a million odds I'm talking about. It's not like the lottery where you find out instantly if you win or lose. It can take a decade of extremely hard work and long hours to find out if you've succeeded at that level.

Furthermore, if you were actually doing something you enjoy that 8-6 time slot, 5 days a week, wouldn't be a waste of time.

I enjoy it greatly. I may enjoy running a start-up that is influencing millions of lives, but maybe not. The grass is often greener. My job has visible impact on hundreds of lives and I have a decent work/life balance.

I'm 32 and have found that my priorities have shifted over time. I had goals of running a start-up and making work optional by 35.

I've been involved in start-ups and have been a partner in a couple.

I now have 3 kids and view my 8-6 job as an athlete views game day. I seek to perform at my highest level during work hours and then try to turn it off after. I don't miss it when I'm with my kids or my wife or friends. For me, there's more to life than work/job/running a business.

I've also come to the conclusion that I have 100% certainty of improving my kids lives through spending time with them. That time doesn't scale like running a startup, but it's guaranteed to be effective. I'll take those odds over the 1 in a million of running a startup, even if it's just improving 3 lives.

Can task statuses be updated through e-mail? I don't see anything mentioned about it. I work on a team where it's typical to respond to the email when something is done instead of going to the web. There are many different ways it can be noted so I'm interested in how that would be solved.

This could be the "bookkeeper" of the e-mail chain of tasks and statuses.

I am surprised by the name. The word tramp has a negative connotation for me. I would be somewhat concerned about it being blocked at firewalls or showing up in my address history.

It's what's shown on the mailing list signup

Is it different than calling oneself a country singer, western author or violin player? All are useful descriptions in context and not necessarily identities

Spinning a wheel with token prizes (upwards of a $300 item) is not necessarily a terrible, humiliating idea. I have participated in a similar exercise at a previous company and it was well received. In that case, we all wanted to improve the company already so it became a fun contest.

Some companies have idea boxes that don't get used. I don't see the harm in making a small contest out of it.

It sounds like the OP is dissatisfied with his compensation and lost some control and lashed out in a meeting. If the OP was my temp worker I would probably fire him too. Juno Pacific is probably paying the agency 2-3x which might be upwards of $16-$24/hr. Often, it's the temp agency that is taking more than a reasonable cut.

The idea of writing a check for a portion of the improvement is more ridiculous and can quickly become complex. Is that paid for eternity? How are ideas with softer benefits calculated?
