The load more button is broken for me.

Great idea but there isn’t an easy way to manage that
CamelRocketFish··on Hacker News in Slow Italian
Yep I’m also a beginner but I haven’t found anything similar to this project. In terms of learning materials I found classes that follow the CEFR system (A1, A2, B1 etc) have been more helpful than Duolingo and also this free resource https://www.languagetransfer.org/
CamelRocketFish··on Hacker News in Slow Italian
This is great! I didn’t see an option to slow the playback down to 0.5 as 1.0 is still fast for a beginner.
CamelRocketFish··on Ableton Push 3
If you aren’t great at piano then using a push in note scale mode is fantastic. Another benefit is when recording automation you can turn the knobs to add a human element over something like point and clicking points. It’s an excellent tool for creating music, not just for live.
CamelRocketFish··on Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?
Agreed, enough horror stories have kept me away from using Google as OAuth. The only value I see in it is as part of SSO for employee accounts. Employee leaves and revoke access to everything.

Anyone know what’s wrong with dressing up as Wario in a sketch?

The story one is brilliant! Allowing the user to set a theme is the icing on the cake. Also love the icon, would you mind sharing the prompt?

Subscriptions for apps are like paying the service fee to a skilled mechanic for your car's maintenance and upgrades. The developer acts as the mechanic, using the subscription revenue to continually improve the app's performance, security, and features. Just as the mechanic ensures your car runs smoothly and can add better features (tinted windows, reverse camera etc), the developer can deliver regular updates, replace outdated components, and introduce innovative features. Subscriptions support ongoing app maintenance and enhancement, providing users with a reliable and up-to-date experience, similar to how a mechanic's services keep your car in optimal condition.

Why not a subscription given with each iOS version comes new APIs and deprecations requiring time and effort to fix?
CamelRocketFish··on Microsoft Edge is leaking the sites you visit to Bing
If your website’s target audience is tech related then it’s not surprising that DuckDuckGo is the origin regardless of bing being installed as the default search engine on windows machines/edge.

What was the allegation?
CamelRocketFish··on Netflix will end its DVD service after 25 years
If you open Google and type in “netflix recommendation system lawsuit” you’ll find many results on the first page explaining it. You can use this method for a lot of topics that people here on hacker news mentions.
CamelRocketFish··on ChatGPT as a Calculator for Words
> if you run the same prompt through a LLM several times you’ll get a slightly different reply every time.

CamelRocketFish··on Stable Diffusion 2.0
It worked eventually for me but the scrolling seems stuck in the beginning or maybe only certain areas are scrollable?

Bookmarked! I love it, would be good to play past games
CamelRocketFish··on Meta lays off 11,000 people
> In addition, we go from a phase where people new in the job market (students etc) were being hired quickly to no one hiring them. So there are both laid off people and new entrants added to the pool.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Hiring students is much cheaper so companies may still hire them whilst letting go of other expensive employees at a cost of quality.
