Fantastic article, and a real concern for UK Citizens.

ABNWon Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device

I found it refreshing and interesting, not really disconcerting. Show's how AI can extrapolate in novel ways. An interesting feature.

ABNWon Show HN: Figranium – Dockerized, API-first, block-based browser automation

Reads technically very well, I am just not 100% sure on the usecase for this?

ABNWon Implementing a Foil Sticker Effect

This is so amazing.

ABNWon SVG Triangle of Compromise

Really interesting, am a big fan of the utility that SVG's provide, an undersung hero of the web imo. One thing I've always particularly liked is you can wrap elements inside of an <svg> tag with an <a> tag, useful in the battle against a "square" web!

ABNWon A useful front-end confetti animation library

Correct! Disable Pointer Events has surprising utility!

ABNWon Goravel, Web framework inspired from Laravel in Golang

Also interested in hearing more - first person i've heard say they do not like Laravel...

ABNWon Haraldur Þorleifsson sweeps person of the year awards

Except they weren't on payroll, as they weren't being paid.

ABNWon Ask HN: Notion Alternative

Set your own custom CSS stylesheet for the website? Perhaps with something like this?

ABNWon Show HN: Liar's Dice AI

Cool game! Do have a question though...

If I win should I lose a dice? My understanding of perudo, or liar's dice, was that the loser loses a dice as a punishment for the incorrect call. This makes it harder to make accurate guesses as they have less understanding on the total count of die there could be... Any reason for changing the rule in this instance?

ABNWon The Uber leak exposes the global war on workers

Complete opposite experience for me in Spain. Uber wanted €35 euro. Local taxi's wanted €15

ABNWon Ask HN: How can I get a tech job that's more social?

Very interesting! I've just moved into a consulting role and am discovering that it is very much like this. If you don't mind me asking, may I ask for some general advice?

Would like to know if there are there any people / resources that helped you out in this role? Or even any general guidance you could give someone just starting out? Also - out of interest - what is it you do now?

Mick West debunked these before:

ABNWon [dead]

This to me is a totally pointless post. It contains only a rant. There is no information of any use to anyone who does not know the differences between the file types, nor does it provide any use cases for when you should use them. It feels like a totally pointless, self-satisfying post.

I would try to explain why this person is frustrated, but there is nothing that tells me exactly why they are. Is it because the charts contain transparency or gradient fades? Is it because they are saving them out as .jpeg and thus having a larger filsize than the .png equivalent? Or is it because they are mostly flat coloured and so .png might handle that better? I have no idea...

For those interested and keen for a little foray into the different file types, check these and ignore this pointless post, just let it fall away:
