The code for Eyes Up seems to be public [0](although there’s no license, so presumably is copyrighted). I bet that one could refactor it into a PWA. [0]: https://github.com/explorealways/eyes-up

"I am beer" is a pretty funny typo ;-) But seriously, I wonder why this happens. My experience of working with LLMs in English and Japanese in the same session is that my prompt's language gets "normalized" early in

In my experience it's less about the latest generation of LLMs being better, and more about the tooling around them for integration into a programmer's workflow being waaaay better. The article doesn't explicitly spell it out

I assume SoftTalker is referring to SWEs not being Professional Engineers. Professional Engineer (PE) != Engineer (in many jurisdictions) > A professional engineer is competent by virtue of his/her fundamental education and training

Thanks for building this. Super stoked that the translation in on-device. I'll be downlaoding it and giving it a try today!!

This hasn't been my experience with English/Japanese translation with Google Translate. For context I used Google Translate for pair programming with Japanese clients 40 hours per week for about 6 months, until I ponied up for a D

This is fascinating to me as an ex-mainframer that now works on a niche hyperscaler. I would love to learn more! Will you let me know some of the names in the space so that I can research more? Some cursory searching only brings up some que

My general strategy is to find a community where $domainExperts hang out and figure out how they talk about $interestingThing, then refine my search from there using progressively more professional lingo. Here's an example of what my f

Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I'm aware that VMware used to donate to a lot of causes and now Broadcom doesn't (source: I also work there :)). My point is that I'm surprised that the loss of a single sponsor would ma

As noted elsewhere in this thread, one of their large supporters was VMware[0], which was aquired by Broadcom at the end of last year. Although I'm skeptical that the loss of a single 'community partner' would cause the whole

I’m not meaning to equate the level of effort or skill involved. And I’ll grant that I know very little about music composition beyond my experience in Middle School band in which the musicians’ personality and skill presents a significant

Hey, I’m a born & bred Detroiter and I’m not sure what you’re referring to by “The Detroit major mass-murder”. Google wasn’t helpful, but I would love to know more; can you expand on what event(s?) you’re alluding to?

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Discussions like this are why I love HN <3 I think I’ll be chewing on your final paragraph for some time. Thank you!!!

That is a fair critique of my current thinking :) I’ll certainly agree that the ‘red scare’ vibe to this bill makes me uncomfortable — even if I agree with the action overall. I certainly am biased towards companies that operate in a way th

I suppose that depends on what you mean by “propaganda”. Personally I think it can be convincingly argued that any message transmitted to you from a State is propaganda (Note: that means that I don’t believe that all propaganda is inherentl

I think this is simply a confusion over the meaning of words. You can indeed buy Full Self Driving ™ (FSD), but even then your Tesla is not capable of self driving, fully (eg, there are many scenarios where a human is still required)

It sounds like your dev team isn't very empowered. In the companies I work at we can create whatever ceremony our team deems nessesary as long as we're meeting our metrics.

Banks’ safe deposit boxes are a good choice if there are any near you, though they’re often expensive. If you have a lawyer/attorney that you trust they’re often in the habit of securely storing physical documents, but again, expensive

I heartily disagree. I work with plenty of CIOs, and I’ve never noticed wider hips or larger breasts to either hinder or aid success in that context. Unless you’re implying that there are non-physical elements to human sexual dimorphism, b
