Not a chance.

A little flask app to write and validate haikus. It's definitely not perfect and makes some mistakes. It uses the syllables python library to estimate how many syllables are in each word.

You can check the override list at https://haikuvalidator.com/overrides and if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know any words that are broken.

This is my first time making a web app. Hoping that someone finds it fun / useful.

I feel like I've heard this one before. With this administration, I can't seem them actually doing it.

How many times is Ticketmaster going to be slapped on the wrist before something is actually done? They are clearly corrupt and colluding with scalpers and every 4 years or so the FTC says "hey now don't do that" and Ticketmaster goes back to their old schtick. It's immensely frustrating because they are also a monopoly and no one can feasibly compete with them because they also control the event venues. I guess this is end-stage capitalism though..

They sure do, but not enough to be self sustaining, and tariffs aren't going to magically produce more aluminum and steel. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47294. Canadian aluminum is critical to the US supply.

Bananas may not matter (to you), but coffee certainly will.

This is one of the most surface-level understandings of national economics that I have seen. Sure, all of that would be great, if not for two things a) these tariffs are not targeted and b) your country could produce everything that it is tariffing. What is the plan for cocoa beans? bananas? aluminum and steel?

These thinly veiled pro-trump people are much too common the internet and I'm getting tired of it.

I wonder if there's a way to automatically detect how "fast" a person talks in an audio file.

Hilbert transform and FFT to get phoneme rate would work.

I'm on Firefox and it doesn't flash for me.

At the very least, here's a scan from Jotti.

Thanks for this comment. Duty? Customs? On a 10 dollar part? Especially for agricultural purposes - this guy is a little off his rocker. It seems like he tried to buy a part, found out shipping was expensive and the seller wanted to use a broker (probably $20), neither of which have anything to do with regulations.

I have to agree - the amount of self-importance in this is hilarious. I would really like someone to be able to point to something definitive that Sam has actually built. In my view, he was a classic techbro who built one MVP and immediately went on an Regulation World Tour to secure his market cap. It seemed pretty transparent, but I guess people must like that?

A neurologist is a medical doctor. Neuroscientists are the PhDs who do the actual research.

Do you think they faked the data? Or something else?

The phone itself looks like junk from 2011. The ghosting on the screen is apparent in the video demonstrating its "speed". The apps they are demoing look very poorly designed, but all of this to be forgiven because "they aren't collecting your data".

Disappointing but I didn't really expect much from them.

Excellent contribution. A truly well thought out, concise brief answer. Bravo.

Yikes.

Francesca Gino is a woman.

I imagine they could, but it is probably more of a legal thing.

A surprise to no one, Sam is a knob.

I think LLMs are great, but most companies have not figured out what they are truly useful for. Hint: it's not for search. LLMs are not knowledge databases, and should not be relied on for unknown information. In my opinion, they are more useful 24/7 editing service. Write a paragraph and ask it to paraphrase. Ask it to make a new story that can be edited. If you don't have any idea what the answer to the thing you're asking is, you shouldn't rely on the response from the bot.

Still complete and utter dipshit move from the admin.

I agree. I regularly use ChatGPT to help reword paragraphs to be more succinct. I rarely ask it for actual information that it has to look up. At its core, it's an LLM which models how language is structured, and that's what it's good at.

On the other hand, maybe there should be pushback against shitty inefficient software?

I think that war has been lost. Apple should just allow more RAM to be put in.

You do nothing with the data in the interim? I find that hard to believe.

Seems like a great product, but something about the URL is reminiscent of those scammy websites that try to trick you into downloading scamware.

Incredibly pathetic. I am so disappointed in LastPass. I was willing to forgive their subpar UX because hey, at least my passwords were safe. I've moved over to Bitwarden and am happy for now, but man what a shitshow.

I don't assess the value of an image of triangles to be $8. That's all.

If it was like, $1 or something, I would be willing to buy it. $8 is entirely too much.

Honestly such an odd take. The games are all plenty immersive

Looks nice, but $8 for a PNG? Come on.
