LogHouse··on Ask HN: Any GenAI project that moves the business needle?
My use case (not very sexy) is process documentation. I take a basic outline, run it through GPT, manually edit some things here and there, boom, done. 10x productivity in that regard.
LogHouse··on Ask HN: Is it just me, or does the job market for IT seem bad today?
IT/CS pays well which brings in a lot of competition to the market.
LogHouse··on Ask HN: Are Kids Getting a Phone Too Early On?
For what it's worth, four years old seems too young for a phone or an AI companion. Parenting is an active role that shouldn't be outsourced.

The worst part is that third party solutions (eg BetterDisplay) work. So Apple could find this if they wanted with ease. No clue why they’re so stubborn on it
LogHouse··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
It’s not sending every word to the cloud. I think you must invoke the AI features. Am I wrong?
LogHouse··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Strong agree here. Features are cool, but I value screen real estate and simplicity. Plus, the gpt app works fine for me. I don’t need it built into other things yet.

I know it’s simple but I am so pleased with this. Now if they fixed the mouse acceleration curve and the scaling issue for monitors, I’d be at peace.
LogHouse··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
I wondered the same, but frankly, what other options are there?
LogHouse··on Ask HN: Who Went Mac –> Linux?
> Windows is the king of business productivity; I've never seen someone with a mac do what I qualify as real business work using any applications outside of the Adobe ecosystem

I agree but I feel that’s a very unpopular statement. There’s also counter examples. The OpenAI teams run on Macs, and it’s VERY hard to say they’re not productive. But in general, if you use excel or outlook, yah, there’s no way to replace that with a Mac. Even if, as you said, the apps are available.

LogHouse··on Microsoft will switch off Recall by default after security backlash
So much of the youth use nothing but mobile OSs and Microsoft lost that - they’re not even a player! Macs have been selling more each year. Valve/Proton is bringing gaming to Linux. Microsoft is losing the non-corp consumers. The features are aimed at non-corp consumers.

In this context, “feedback” means reputation compromising news cycles.
LogHouse··on Manifest V2 phase-out begins
But will UBO v2 be updated after manifest 3 goes live?
LogHouse··on I love my wife. My wife is dead (1946)
> You, dead, are so much better than anyone else alive.

Beautiful. Leave this mark on someone.

LogHouse··on Ask HN: How do I balance all my 200 interests in life?
Hurts but is a likely truth. I need to print this and remind myself of it daily as I lean this way with a young child at home.
LogHouse··on Tell HN: OpenAI seems to be A/B testing ads in answers
You sure it’s not something like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1d29fu2/it_looks_l...
LogHouse··on Re: Google AI Overviews – Genuinely, Why?
I have no insight but I suspect it’s a soft pivot as the writing is on the wall. Search will be replaced with some “AI” thing and Google doesn’t want OAI to be household name.
LogHouse··on Depression (2014)
I read this as somebody who dwells on lost time and wasted opportunities. For me, it’s resulted in a lot of self hate and depression that I struggle with daily. I will never be able to explain the feeling as well as Sylvia Plath: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7511-i-saw-my-life-branchin...
LogHouse··on Introducing Copilot+ PCs
I know HN has a large Apple following but as a Windows lover (yah yah, I know), I am very excited about these announcements!
LogHouse··on High performers job hop when they can't find a high performance culture
Good question. For context, I am a high performer in a low performing team with a lower performing manager. The company has rated me as “highest talent” which only one other person on our 50+ department received. To answer your question, I tried what you suggest: influence.

Turns out, people are often intimidated in talent when they have no desire to replicate it - this is especially true for management. Even if I was able to influence others, there’s nobody left to influence me.

Not to mention, it’s makes your workload significantly more when you’re the only one researching things, asking question, improving things, etc.

So, in short, yes you can be talented and elect to quit rather than influence.
