You summarize it well. Are you on the Fediverse by any chance? If not, you might enjoy it you'll find lots of people there who still make art, write code and are interested in learning.

Honest opinion: Really charming on first look, but nothing where you can get lost in the details, because once you look closer, the soullessness of the generated imagery comes through. So I spent about 5 minutes looking at it, then moved on

The issue with Whisper is that it messes up both names of both products and guests. What we aim to do is make new subs, but including all the product names and guest names as hints, so Whisper will get them right.

It's so refreshing to see a proper website these days, no js, no cookie banners, just hypertext. Your part about still enjoying programming really resonated with me. I still get so much joy out of programming after 20 years of doing it

This really makes clear how boring web design has become. 99% of websites use the same standard layout, there's almost nothing distinct or exciting about any of the designs. I remember web design being an art form, with books being pri

In Eindhoven, NL, there is a similar system without app. At night traffic lights are red by default, if sensors in the pavement detect an approaching car they turn green in time. If there are no other cars you never have to stop. Great syst

To be honest: not a fan. It creates a completely new image based on a photo, rather than fix it. The Einstein photo shows particularity well how pretty obvious facial features just get removed. The results look nice, but they are definitely

I recently tried looking up something about local tax law in ChatGPT. It confidently told me a completely wrong rule. There are lots of sources for this, but since some probably unknowingly spread misinformation, ChatGPT just treated it as

I would say a big difference of the Internet around 2000 and the internet now is that most people shared information in good faith back then, which is not the case anymore. Maybe back then people were just as uncritical of information, but

I never really trusted dentists, and I was validated when I went to a new dentist my brother recommended. It turned out that dentist had an accident and had a temporary substitute. He took x-rays and showed me on the x-rays that I had 4 sep

Look up WinJS sometime! It was a really neat idea that MS sadly abandoned.

Quality writing and sloppy ML-genrated thumbnails really don't fit together, but I saw you already announced that you will replace them with proper images, so this will be a nice resource overall!

I say go for it. Most websites are bland and forgettable. Every startup site looks the same these days. I'm not saying we need to go back to the absolutely wild early 2000s designs, but I feel like there is a need for beautifully desig

This is fantastic, the 3 different interfaces make a lot of sense, and having a cli makes it a breeze to plug other stuff in! I'll give this a try soon! Is there json output for the cli by any chance?

Yeah, Javascript/ECMAscript history is actually very interesting, this contains barely any information.

May I say that it's refreshing to see a well-written blog post on HN that doesn't use uncanny ML generated imagery? Nice post!

As a senior developer: Experience. The output from ChatGPT isn't perfect, but it's good enough to point one in the right direction. The code it outputs is mostly garbage that a good developer would never put into production, but w

I wonder how this works with the GDPR. Not sure if their service is even available in Europe, but if it is, Europeans at least should be able to just require them to delete all data whenever they want.

Your overuse of algorithm-generated images is very cringy.

I picked a big public instance and I think I never even got a follow from someone on that instance, despite having 600 followers. All interaction is with people from other instances. Of course you can join a tiny instance with a specific to
