I have the old version of the app pinned so it doesn't update to the new app. I occasionally check the reviews but they continue to be really bad.
Krastan··on Show HN: A 2-row, 16-key keyboard designed for smartphones

Does it? If it didnt exist my company would need to develop it which still puts food on my table.
Krastan··on I was right about dishwasher pods and now I can prove it [video]

Krastan··on Qualcomm wins licensing fight with Arm over chip designs
We've seen compatibility layers between x86 and arm. Am I correct in thinking that a compatibility layer between riscV and arm would be easier/more performant since they're both risc architectures?
Krastan··on The success and failure of Ninja (2020)
I thought this was going to be about the Fortnite streamer

Krastan··on Cradle: Empowering Foundation Agents Towards General Computer Control
LMM is a large multimodal model. So it does more than just language, in this case interacting with UI, in others using voice and video
Krastan··on Ask HN: How does Alexa avoid interrupting itself when saying its own name?
Stop listening only when saying "Alexa" not just when speaking in general. So to test you'd have to time saying Alexa at the same time it is saying Alexa

Wake up babe, new Bartosz Ciechanowski just dropped
Krastan··on Ask HN: What's the stack for your "home-cooked meal" apps?
I would assume it keeps ringing. You could potentially have it increase in volume or require gps movement to turn off.
Krastan··on Seven great but notoriously hard-to-finish books
I really enjoyed American Gods but it took me a long time to finish. I assumed it was because my attention span was getting worse but I hadn't considered that it was just a tough book to read. The books I've read since have been non fiction which are also slow reads for me which supported my, hopefully incorrect, hypothesis.
Krastan··on Yarn 4.0
I've been waiting for this for the .env support for .yarnrc.yml. we can now have our GitHub PATs in a .env instead of having to add it to your shell env or risk leaking it or putting thr PAT directly in the .yarn.yml
Krastan··on Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150
Except that it is different because it has a frunk. So many other companies are putting out electric cars but can't figure out how to have a frunk, let alone one as big as the f150's.

Krastan··on YouTube TV raises subscription to $72.99, inching closer to cable pricing
The issue is is that all the big networks still own all the rights. Initially they sold them for cheap to vMVPDs but now the networks are charging more so YouTube fubo etc have to pay more leading to these price increases.

This is cool! Is it free? If not would be good to have pricing be visible without creating an account.

Also the logo in the header looks low definition. Upping its resolution will make the website way better.

Krastan··on Understanding Jane Street
You only get more tokens when you're right. So to "win" you have to bet high when you know you'll be right, so you get the most tokens, and bet low when you're not sure so you don't lose too many. Getting it wrong only loses you tokens.
