Very cool. I developed something in a similar vein as a way to teach myself web programming 15 years ago or so. Https://dirtywalls.com is location-based message boards. You can create or join ones close to your location. Reminds m

Curious if you got a response as I'd love a parameterized version of this design. I have the original Overwork+Scott version on my bedside, but I'd much prefer a storage space than a charger there.

A relatively small ongoing investment in a phone with which they earned billions of dollars in profit. Doesn't necessarily require new feature updates, but security updates should be available for a far more significant length of time

Not a SDE, but I’m actually doing more of that than ever before. 2 years ago, was given the choice to interview for new internal roles or walk away with a severance package after almost two decades in QE and PM for a large, design tools com

Oo! An opp to share a project I built! Please check out ottomusic.ai or the original demo I built at demo.ottmomusic.ai. We were one of the first AI-powered, prompt-based music recommendation service, and I still think far better than Spot

How odd. My 3rd click, it brought me to news.ycombinator.com - exactly what brought me there in the first place and open in another tab. I was very confused as I assumed the tab had closed but no, it just appeared to be luck of the surpri

One day mid-1995 (just looked it up and it would have been May 20, 1995) Sonic Youth was playing with REM at the Gorge in Washington. He and the drummer had a side project that came to the little record store in Ellensburg (Rodeo Records, o

Any eye toward allowing users to train their own voices? The only reason I’m using Elevenlabs is because I can train a suite of voices on my (legit, legal) archival content. It’s not a perfect replication of the original voice, usually, b

Recently my son and I were at the mall and decided to grab dinner at a popular ramen spot. They had replaced the hostess with an iPad and a waitlist app. Ugh, I thought, but fine. I can type my name and the number 2 on an app just as easily

I was fortunate to help bring similar tech to life as a PM for Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro in a feature dubbed Remix. Since we were designing to help music fit the duration of a scene or video project, our goals resulted in a slightly d

I relied upon ChatGPT to build this as my development experience is pretty light. What I found was it's not perfect, but because I know enough Python to troubleshoot, I was able to either fix issues myself or understand the right way

If you haven’t made your own butter at home, you’re missing out. It literally takes 10 minutes and the blender does most of that work. Pour a cup or two of heavy cream in the blender. Add a tspn or so of salt, and blend it on med. it’ll tur

I worked at one of the bigger companies (not a FAANG, but right near there) for almost 19 years before leaving last year. When I joined, it was as amazing a company and culture as I’d imagined, having used their products for years and being

If you used and miss Spotify Run, Muze is a lot like that only WAY better. Not only is the music by real artists that you know and love, as well as new discoveries, but the responsive aspect is unlike anything else that’s come before. Spoti

I couldn't stand the Cal Worthington commercials, but I'll remember them fondly because a sweet, elderly neighbor with dementia misunderstood the repeated phrase at the end of the song, and would loudly sing along with some rather

Lots of possibilities, for sure. I liked the idea of a public layer as well as private or protected layers for every space. Patrons of a restaurant could chat on the public board for that location, while employees might bitch anonymously

About 10 years ago, I taught myself web programming by writing https://dirtywalls.com which is still up and which occasionally I still see used by a handful of the folks I shared it with back then. Same basic idea: pseudonymous

Let me add that it might be better if the chatbot WERE acting as an agent, referring to its owner by name, instead of pretending to BE them. For example, when asked "What are your areas of expertise" it might be better if the cha

I love the idea. At this point, I wouldn't put it on my profile, but can see the value in doing so once it's progressed. Right now, much of the interaction is with the bot itself, and not the person it's representing. As a

The messengers are usually flawed, but the message is good. Same with so many other things which can positively enhance our perspective: comedy, art, music. The messengers are one of us, and while they’ve often glimpsed a possibility mos

Shortly after a big upgrade to the application I worked on, we started to get bug reports on our forum about a pretty ugly bug where a modal window would get “stuck” after clicking OK. The window would no longer respond to users but the app
