That's also where this map would help, it can definitely degrade gracefully. If I know I have two right-hand turns coming, I can take the decision for myself.

I need to know what lane I'll need to be in next so I can plan in advance.

Great idea and demo. My main gripe when using Google Maps in the car is lack of information about the next turns — when do I change lanes, and to which one? This could be natively addressed here, especially if the blue navigation line was a

Author here: funny you should mention that! Same idea has been on my mind for years at this point. To me, the holy grail of sports training is to have simple but powerful enough models to estimate power data from dozens of movements, and fi

Thinking back, I should also add: if you're interested in how hard a single hit is, then yes joules! I'm approaching it as a workout, where you're doing dozens of hit. Good idea to have an individual strike joule view to the

I didn't look into or find any myself, but "power meter enabled" sports like cycling, rowing, etc. have a way to measure the strain/fatigue of efforts relative to the athlete's fitness (FTP). Same would apply here.

100% agree. And the issue with med-ball slams is they also can just be dropped in a testing setting, and the only power needed to be generated is on the "up" cycle. I wouldn't even trust my own med-ball slam benchmarks from o

Both are needed, but for an athlete watts is by far the more useful feedback for training, and following the intended stimulus of workouts. As a workout, "bike 30 km" is vague and meaningless. "bike 30km in 1h" is better

Aye, author here. Pleased it's getting visibility ofc, but ABSOLUTELY not expecting to get traction this early. Please pardon the AI-generated placeholder images and some of the text at https://intensity.systems , I'm s

uv's pip interface is like dipping one toe in the bathtub. Take a minute and try on the full managed interface instead: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/dependencies . Your commands then become

My Samsung computer monitor is also the stuff of nightmares. Same story: useless "smart" UI features. I'm told I can use it as a dozen different things. But it sucks as a computer monitor. Not cheap either!

Fine tuning was never really hard to do locally if you had the hardware. What I’d like to read in an article like this is more details into why they’re making a comeback. Curious to hear others’ thoughts on this

Same comment as above. From your article: > there are some underlying factors skewing these results, such as: > * grammar schools are more likely to be single-sex > * co-educational schools have a higher proportion of poorer pupils

The amount and extent of data that is available out there by brokers for purchase by literally any company is *mind-boggling*. However bad you think it is, multiply that by 10.

I hate the idea of MCP servers being their own OAuth providers and IMO I wouldn't use this. MCP servers just shouldn't have to handle OAuth user management. The only reason PostgreSQL is needed here is to store OAuth tokens for it

Love his series, but you really have to keep in mind that his testing methodology is "reductionist": a microphone's quality can't just be distilled to its EQ response. Phase, transient response, clipping, etc. are also

That’s great, but would love to hear samples to see if it’s any good!

After an innovation phase there is an implementation phase. Depending on the usefulness of the innovation, the integration with existing systems takes time. It is calculated in years, tens of years. Think back on the 80-90s, where it took y

Here's a thought experiment. Think back on how that statement would have sounded like to past-you, 3 years ago. You would probably have dismissed it as bullshit, right? We've gone a long way since then. Both in terms of better, fa

OK that’s neat but boils down to “here’s a cool game”. I was expecting a double blind study that measures some concentration metric vs a placebo intervention.

Please do whatever you feel like doing. If you like the aesthetic and it fits the overall design, why not? Don’t let some HN commenter tell you what you can’t do.
