Congrats on the launch! Question out of curiosity to the highlight team: when you’re building out the product you would probably like to test your own user flows by simulating weird bugs in complex systems to see how well highlight can help

Feels like many other comments here are trivial objections for the sake of sounding contrarian. Or even, humble bragging about how easy math was to the commenter. I found the article to be a great, new (to me), and widely applicable perspec

This sounds rather familiar, in Software :)

I find Duolingo’s cartoons racist, somehow the Brown people are always doing funny / silly things, and sound weird. But the other characters are a lot more ‘normal’.

I often wonder why academia loves obtuse prose; the only dialect I’ve seen equally enthusiastically adopted while being just as useless is Corpspeak.

Looks great, thanks!

No, it’s actually very surprising to me. I genuinely (and super naively, I now realize) thought gig work was ‘fair’: as in subjectively unpleasant, but ‘equally unpleasant’ for everyone having to do it.

Did folks like you in this thread thinking along this path, actually read the article? The algorithms don’t appear to be taking on the output (such as star ratings) alone into consideration. This is the core of your argument. The algorithms

I found Amazon’s BS non-answer even more offensive. “Our workers willingly go over the barrel and they tell us they love it! What’s your problem…?”

No sorry, this was terribly surprising to me. I am unironically stating that I’m unpleasantly shocked. I would be ashamed to work for these teams as a software engineer. It’s weird, I always intuitively understood that knowledge workers w

What’s the best open source file and backup managemen tool that can upload to AWS and GCP cloud storage, with integrity checking and with pre-upload encryption? I don’t want to start writing one only to discover a powerful thing that alread

Is Arq open source? I have a similar problem set but I don’t want to use a closed source product managing my encryption and uploads.

I tried to contact their support over that latter aspect, their support doesn't respond at all. They don't have a GPT bot answering their support requests..

Somewhat off topic but this is what turns me off about Jarvis / Friday during rewatches of any MCU properties. So unrealistic to have quippy AI be useful in the midst of combat. Also: I just realised that the Avengers would never happe

I’m delighted to discover that offering an API by itself (that too specific to one domain) is a valuable business model! Congrats on the launch folks!

That's interesting; when searched there seems to be very little mainstream media coverage of the concept. What are some of the disadvantages of the insect feed approach for aquaculture?

Could it be the idea is simply way ahead of its time? Nuclear fusion could result in much cheaper energy, green hydrogen could bring down transportation costs, and human population ballooning to massive levels would drive up the value of us

Jumping on this thread! Does Cordura fabric contain PFAS? It’s the stuff a lot of tech backpacks are made of!

I always wonder if this space hasn’t been entirely cornered by HFTs. Isn’t it futile as an individual?

To stretch the thumbnail analogy from other threads, that feels like the “thumbnail” returned was a horse when you asked it to snapshot a car. Got the “mode of transport” intention correctly but gave you super inaccurate details..

Can’t seem to do that while the thing is down… wonder why they didn’t choose to separate the payment UX from the actual product.

What’s a good authoritative source that tracks use-cases across industries for data? I often find resources that are either too shallow and high-level (literally one-line) or a super deep dive on a singular use case.

My wish list for the next version of Freeform contains only two items: • Snap to shape from free-hand drawings (such as a square/line/circle). Other note taking apps have this. • Infinite Zoom Out and Zoom In. Currently the canvas
