  Would be totally unsurprised if those modalities and models get integrated into this UI.

  Support for dedicated audio-only and image-generation-only models is coming soon.

Yes 'assembling' is exactly what GP did when they converted e.g. `LD A, B` into 0x78.

I wouldn't call it a 'translation'. It's encoding. (We don't think of converting between ASCII codes and symbols as translation.)

Yes, it's unfortunate.

I'm not sure how to interpret this part: "each running its own GPT-5.6 instance".

GPT-5.6 is a closed source model and this seems to be a personal project and not something done by OpenAI.

Glenn Loury & John McWhorter?

Like DAU vs MAU

"Want to get your app on the home screen?"

Open Safari, navigate to the web app, tap the Share button, scroll down, and select 'Add to Home Screen'.

Right, but multiply that by half the total number of words, and it's a lot.

The annual per capita EU budget doesn't tell us how much was spent to bring fiber to that particular rural area.

How much did EU taxpayers spend to make that possible?

"One common thing sold to them are analog countdown timers that look like a big pie chart."

For anyone looking for one of these, you can search for 'time timer'.

Did you mean Recoll (https://www.recoll.org/)?

I think for most adults avoiding a granny knot is enough. But my son is not yet 10yo and he often has untied shoes at the end of the day.

I've even tried tying his shoes myself (so I know both the knots are pulled really tight, and that the loose ends are the same length as the bows). Even so, somehow the ends get pulled hard enough that they end up undone.

(Somehow for him even the Ian secure knot doesn't guarantee a full day without laces coming undone.)

This reminds me of Miguel's post about completing a BS in CS at WGU:

I was inspired by Miguel and took the same path, but I had no pre-existing credits to transfer so the whole process took me 7 months, instead of 3.

They tried to control for this. It's described in the first paragraph of section 4.

We don't talk about wifi using light waves.

ADSL is designed to use frequencies beyond the range of human hearing.

Does dang run HN on a single server? Why does HN use Algolia for search and Firebase for its API?

"Using an old phone or laptop as server means you'll end up with a single digit annual electricity bill for that."

The largest possible single digit annual electricity bill would be $9. That's almost enough to run a 3W device 24x7 for a year. Do you know any old phone or laptop that can serve as a reliable Jitsi server yet draws an average of 3W or less?

'regular people' use YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc.

Even you use HN.

Not everything can be local.

My friends and family aren't going to be convinced to use a Jitsi instance running in my house (where I pay $0.35/kWh).

OT but the first sentence on that page has a typo:

  To solve a Rubrik’s cube, you need to engage your working memory.

Over the past couple of years, my parents have had several multi-day outages with their phone line. Each time, we contacted Sky, who contacted Openreach and they eventually fixed things, but then it would stop working again months later.

I guess they're just not maintaining that infrastructure like they used to.

Finally my parents succumbed and now their phone is plugged into their router.

This is an annoying paragraph:

"Copper wires, the kind of cabling used in landlines for over a century, can only carry a limited amount of data. They carry phone calls as a continuous electrical signal that mimics the original sound wave, which is what makes them analogue."

If someone reads this quickly, they might easily conclude that data is also transmitted as analogue sound signals (like a POTS modem) when ADSL has been around for many years and has pretty high throughput.

And window.

FWIW you can use your US membership in the UK.

I ordered a dishwasher from Costco UK last week.

For reference, Google tells me that the largest Argos stores in the UK have only ~20k SKUs in stock.

The article says "I've run across a few articles and blog posts that declare the virtues of 24 bit or 96/192kHz by comparing a CD to an audio DVD (or SACD) of the 'same' recording. This comparison is invalid; the masters are usually different."

It may be simultaneously true that:

A) Humans cannot tell the difference between 44.1kHz/16-bit audio and any higher resolution, and

B) For a particular song, the best commercially available 44.1kHz/16-bit version may not be the best commercially available version

I agree in general, but there's one exception: use of the word 'tabled'. This means roughly the opposite in British and US English, and there's often insufficient surrounding context to alert the reader to their error.

(OTOH I don't think you should suppress 'false friends' like biscuits, pants etc.)

I thought this would be about https://github.com/obra/superpowers

Please delete this if you can. I think people need at least 5 seconds between seeing the joke and the punchline reveal.
