I would argue it's less satisfying. I like bikes and I still had to look it up.

I'm one of those people who get annoyed if it's too loose. But I can just impose that restriction on myself and look down on people who rely on obscure words.

it sounds like the author (and you?) are using the CLI? I've found the mac desktop app to be great, or at least solve many complaints I had with the terminal version.

One gram of carbs is 4 calories., so more like 400 calories per hour. It was confusing when the running industry switched from calories to grams of carbs, but that's all anyone talks about now.

Someone should make a website or project and post it on HN, and then set up an AI agent takes the top comments and just implements them.

I live in Sausalito just north of SF. We have a few cameras on the way into town. Seeing this map actually makes me feel safer. Sure there are hypothetical privacy issues, but for me they're easily outweighed by safety. I don't re

Ya that's a good point for competitive scrabble. However today I think a lot of people's main exposure to Scrabble comes from WordsWithFriends (and recently, the new NYT games version). In those games, there's no penalty for

IMO scrabble would be improved by a similar limitation. There's too many nonsense words.

You didn't try them!? If you have the ChaptGPT app it's super simple and worth a try. I talk to it in French a lot. It gets tedious though, because after almost every question it tries to end the conversation with "let me kno

we have them for our cats, they're great. Sometimes they're hiding in bushes and we don't realize they're 10 ft away. Other times they're down by the neighbor's house. It's not perfect but it tells us whic

Congrats! I never stopped coding, but AI makes it way more productive and fun for sure. $100 seems like a lot. I guess if you think about it compared to dev salaries, it's nothing. But for $10 per month copilot you can get some pretty

What about the era of flash cartoons? Remember "End of Ze World"? In a way that's throwaway crap. Or it could have been written as a comic strip, or animated manually. But Flash kinda opened up this whole new world of games a

It's pretty entertaining. People always like telling stories. Books, comic strips, movies, they're all just telling a story with a different amount of it left up to the viewer's imagination. Lowering the barrier to entry for

For sure! It's an interesting point. But from an economic point of view, it's better for consumers if there are clean boundaries and every layer is commoditized.
15.
by groggo 1y ago
And you have to have a monopoly though? Farms provide the most value to the world but there's so much competition that it's commoditized, so as far as I know there's no super valuable farms... Hopefully the same thing happens
16.
by groggo 1y ago
That's how competition should work. Every layer should have multiple providers until the companies get all of their profits squeezed away and users get the best possible price.

Definitely true in practice, but I don't think we want discretion. What I mean though is as a deterrent, you can either have a "fair" fine that's enforced 100% of the time, or 2x the "fair" amount with 50% enfo

That's a pretty extreme example, maybe the idea doesn't hold as much there. But yeah, if 99% of murders weren't prosecuted, the 1% who get charged might feel like they were singled out (and maybe they were, because of some bi

It feels less fair though. When everyone is driving x mph over the limit but only you get pulled over, it sucks. So I agree for efficiency of enforcement, but I'd rather see 100% enforcement (automated if possible), with more warnings

why would OpenAI release an open weight model? Genuinely curious.

I haven't used Cursor or Claude much, how different is it from Copilot? I bounce between desktop ChatGPT (which can update VS Code) and copilot. Is there an impression that those have fallen behind?

I thought it was a nice clear summary, I wouldn't care if it was from an LLM. This summary should be at the top of their page. Maybe it'd be nice if there were a Chrome HN plugin that adds a summary like this to all articles on HN

A good point. Certainly for raster analysis it doesn't make sense. But any type of vector data could be modeled on a sphere, right? Points, shapes, lines. And I saw "better" because even the best suited projection will have s

> the software implementation is much less trivial Aren't most geospatial tools just doing simple geometry? And therefore need to work on some sort of projection? If you can do the math on the spheroidal model, ok you get better res

Nice work! I also made a recipe app, but after seeing the recipes people generated on yours, I'm choosing not to share it at this time. Seriously though - vibecoding is great. Even better (or only feasible) as engineers who can dive in

What actually changes? ublock origin is still available, right? But it just can't block requests? My understanding is that adblockers: 1. block requests from certain domains 2. block elements matching certain criteria Does this change

I love that this comes up every so often on hacker news. I used love Magic Eye as a kid, and have been taking stereo photos on and off ever since. Experimenting with how to take them (moving camera, from a plane, etc), and how to view them

They do? Well not exactly, but even with the multiple iphone cameras, you can do "spatial capture" ( https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-vision-pro/capture-dev... ), and see it on a Vision Pro. I don&#x2
