It's very hard to disagree with the point that it will get more powerful, perhaps in uenxpected ways. I don't know that the average regular person is using this tech as a producer, and while it's hard not to consume it - I do

Fair points (and I appreciate very much that they read like a human wrote them). As a counter point - and I know it's a weak one - a few years ago people were telling me that crypto was going to replace currency, and soon every person

Whichever side of the divide you're on, I think it's really weird that on a site like HN (where people have at least a passing familiarity with technology) there are such polarised takes on whether it's the next industrial re

I don't quite agree, there's a lot of small things that don't get big / are shitty enough on their own. Agreed with the rest though.

My employer pushes everybody heavily towards AI, but unsurprisingly that stops the moment the work is late or bad in a way that catches their management chain's attention. I'm not doing work in the way they tell me to but the resu

Oh, I hadn't even considered the interpretation here where you're saying knowledge work is pointless and always has been. I'm not even going to engage with that one because I see the value and real world impact of my work eve

I certainly do. As usual the revolution is weeks away, but I continue to produce work better, faster and more reliably than my colleagues who have outsourced their brains to Claude. You can tell me I'm not gonna make it and the last 5%

Comments like this make me wonder if we're all inhabiting the same reality.

I don't think it would matter - the crime is sending images, not necessarily sending images of you . Entirely plausible a perp might use a random image they found online rather than a genuine personal photo for a multitude of reasons.

I think it's a question of integrity - I have reached a comfortable ceiling in my career, but doing the dumb shit would have got me further, faster. I don't begrudge the peers who have sold out when the delta is $1m+ a year but I

There are good PMs out there watching in horror as their peers make changes and features that are obviously doomed (to anybody with a functional brain). I also write as much code as the median engineer on my team (skews junior). Please don&

A lot of OEMs will have a shortcut to enable screen reader mode even if the display is cooked (I think maybe both volume buttons at once for 5s?). OTG keyboard can be a lifesaver too, and many modern phones will let you use a USBC to HDMI c

I don't know how scientifically valid this is (I hope very) but when a friend told me my USB hub / switcher would be introducing a lot of input lag, I bought a USB to eth adaptor and did a few thousand pings to the router, from di

> Why ... wade through dubious results, etc when you can just instantly get the result you want in the format you want it? Funnily enough, this is exactly how I justify Googling stuff instead of asking Gemini. Different strokes I guess!

Sonarr and Radarr are the big ones. Tracks new content (in these cases, TV shows and movies) and auto downloads as they become available.

Good luck! Great to see people having a go. Save a screenshot of my cynicism to send me when you make bank.

Neither of your demos actually launch when you press the buttons (Chrome on Android). Does this have users?

"let's schedule a short 1:1 pre meeting to get on the same page before we waste our team's time with a bigger thing" No, it's better to find their flight schedule and wait at the gate.

I think that's a slightly orthogonal issue - I'm talking Google Search vs other search providers. I doubt there's a significant gap between Chrome and Chromium.

Probably not, but I reckon they'd have a crack for Nürburgring holiday planning.

Windows is still the most popular desktop / laptop OS, and while it might come with a Chromium browser it defaults to Bing. Users who want Google search need to either change their browser settings, or install a new browser (two things

I'm being a bit contrary, but: it sounds like 80% of your traffic was coming, for free, from Google. Is the claim here that if you killed SEO, some more equitable, consistent method of content propagation would spring up to take it&#x2

Yes. I think my core thesis is that if noise and pollution upsets you, then I would spend less time complaining about a niche hobby that barely effects anybody, and a lot more time getting annoyed about really common hobbies, business patte

> creating a bunch of noise and emissions just so they can have fun Wait until you hear about parents! I haven't actually done the maths but I expect an ultralight is comparable to a car hobbyist in both noise and emissions. Agree t
