turntable.fm was this, but for normies

$3k a book is so cheap.

the datavis here and type hinting (even if it's just default swiftmath) is really nice.

they never fixed my billing issue, just autoresponded until i gave up and issued a chargeback.

kind of what i was thinking, but i didn't want to be a buzzkill. if you can get over the terrible usb charging, an old kindle with KOreader and calibre sync is amazing, and will be a much, much nicer hardware than this thing that only an engineer could love.

remembering that line from the Portlandia sketch where the PTA is discussing the music their kids are listening to with the subtext that it's not indie enough :

"It is pap. It is pabulum." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdEPgB2yizw

this is one of the most engineer comments i have ever read on hackernews. icons are symbols. you avoid all symbols?

poolsuite.net

dozens if not hundreds of synthwave channels and internet radio stations. but sure, listen to your ai slop muzak.

not science saru?

this is... such a bad idea lol

my ssn (usa) and my credit info (also usa) was already leaked in a data breach. i don't care about my encrypted blob in lastpass being leaked because it's computationally too expensive to crack it (assuming it's not a targeted attack with hostile nation-state level gpu capacity)

you're paying for form factor, 'it just works', and convenience. how have we been having this same apple debate for 30 years, i feel like i'm on slashdot.

japan glazing imho and i love kamon (family crests). you could have written this article about almost any country.

exactly. validation by _whom_ exactly? not your customers!

ever since tvOS came out (and by extension, the app store) they've really leapfrogged every other streaming box. I would have thought android-based boxes like Nvidia's shieldtv would have won here (and created a casual gaming platform) but I was dead wrong.

i worked on a roku tv app once upon a time... and their OS couldn't even draw circle primitives. frustrating.

we've lost the plot. this is no longer a hobbyist computer.

it's so easy to tell it's claude. nonsense oblique text. beige bg. noise texture. 'crafted' eyebrows.

ar/vr, horizon, and boz ruined a bunch of great software products that people were actually using and enjoyed (i've seen the NPS) to shoehorn horizon worlds and ugly 3d avatars into that no one wanted.

i had a portal at home for work. great product for VC, i tried using one with my parents and my dad kept it in the trunk of his car outside because that's how negative the facebook brand equity was.

you've 'upgraded' the same pc since a 486? i really can't believe that unless you're counting your mouse and keyboard.

sf has POPOs and you're sort of right - they were pretty easy to access 10 years ago, but the pandemic gave them enough cover to mostly shut these down or heavily discourage access - though plenty remain open : https://sfpopos.com/

those models are light years away from opus or sonnett right now though -- is the context problem really solvable?

palmos4 had butterfly, which really let you generate some horrors

what a waste of technology. you could have had a pen and graph paper hooked up to an microphone 100 years ago and looked for the spikes in the time set.

forest for the trees engineer behaviour

in a word, choice. also it's a much quieter car inside, despite being cheaper.

i swear to god you tech bros (and claude design) have ruined narrow serif fonts in record time

hundreds of years of oxidation will make everything brown.

loved the touchbar for things like timeline scrubbers and quick shortcuts in my pro software

every single cta on your site is nearly unreadable. you need to stop drinking the kool-aid.
