At the time women were (and still are) underdogs in STEM, so it's no surprise your professor would want to highlight that. For all the rest of were aware, she really was a successful health-tech founder

Very odd take. Let's not discourage open discussion. I've not seen whatever original HN thread you're referring to.

I can give one innocent example - I made an app that summarises D&D sessions, including images to depict some of the scenes. But I understand the jaded perspective. I guess the idea of ‘deepfakes’ didn’t give AI image gen a great reputa

Hmm I feel this might just be nostalgia at play. I've not played any Anno games, but comparing the two side-by-side and 1800 looks leaps & bounds better to me. 1602 looks like it was drawn in MS Paint.

I asked Gemini 2.0 Flash (with my voice) whether it natively understands audio or is converting my voice to text. It replied: "That's an insightful question. My understanding of your speech involves a pipeline first. Your voice is

These are things that I know intuitively but sometimes we need to be reminded. Thanks, appreciate it :)

I would definitely agree with you there, but I also can't blame people for consuming such media. It's incredibly difficult to bury your head in the sand/avoid all media in today's ultra-connected world. Even if I were to

As someone who you'd probably refer to as one of the "younger folks", I think part of it is a coping mechanism. The outside world looks incredibly bleak. Most of my friends and housemates appear burnt out or have a depressed

I don't know anyone that uses this feature or has mentioned it. Admittedly most of the people I know that use Notion are non-tech

Thanks. Maybe I'm nitpicking but a link in the middle of a sentence isn't the best UX considering it's the main subject matter of the article. Easy to miss

In the Ford case they hired an impersonator to sing one of her copyrighted songs, so it's clearly an impersonation. In OpenAI's case the voice only sounds like her (although many disagree) but it isn't repeating some famous l
