aramndrt··on Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
Quick tangent: Does anybody know why many new companies have this exact web design style? Is it some new UI framework or other recent tool? The design looks sleek, but they all appear so similar.
aramndrt··on Aristotle – How to live a good life
The most recent article on the blog likely holds the answer to your question. (Disclaimer: I did not read it.)

aramndrt··on CamelCase vs underscores: Scientific showdown (2011)
that’s interesting to me. For me it’s a left pinky-right ring finger move. We probably have different keyboard sizes, afaik.
aramndrt··on Ronda Rousey: "I never wanted to talk about concussion"
Do you or anybody else have any resources to share regarding such training? I suffered a concussion 5 years ago and two more shortly after, and I still suffer from regular dizziness due to sunlight / busy environments and after too much screen time. It has taken away much of the joy of my twenties. Thank you.
aramndrt··on Ask HN: How is the Spotify app so bad?
Can anyone suggest a minimalist music streaming platform? I'm looking for a digital substitute for collecting CDs, something similar to the old iTunes. Maybe Apple Music is the right choice, or are there other options available?
aramndrt··on Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks
What features is the Reminders app missing? I switched from Things to Reminders and didn't notice any missing features. Not doubting your statement - I'm genuinely curious to know what functionality might be lacking in Reminders that I'm unaware of.

This reminds me of the old text file format walkthroughs for video games. I fondly remember using the The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker walkthrough hosted on IGN. Good times. :')
aramndrt··on The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
No, you are simply more accepting of a certain interface being pushed onto you. I find the podcasts incredibly frustrating because I like to keep my interfaces streamlined and minimalistic. I would much rather have my homepage focused on my content than a bunch of podcasts I don't care to listen to and a bunch of playlists in which I have no interest. In my opinion, the app is frustratingly bloated. Your opinion is valid, but this complaint is as well.
aramndrt··on Why you've never been in a plane crash
Reminds me of the guy at GitLab, I believe it was, who accidentally and irreversibly deleted a bunch of repositories. GitLab had a fantastic approach to that whole ordeal and public embarrassment. They essentially blamed themselves for not having the proper contingencies in place instead of blaming the individual. It's worth reading up on.
aramndrt··on Tell HN: I don't think humans add much to the universe
As Carl Sagan famously said, 'the cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.'
aramndrt··on Ask HN: How would you take care of your mental well-being?
I bought a Garmin watch (FR265) last month and it's been great in keeping me on track with my exercise routine. I don't care for its advanced features like 'training readiness' and 'sleep score' – I prefer not to rely on my watch to gauge how I feel for obvious reasons. However, I have customised my watch face to display a daily step counter and a weekly 'exercise minutes' counter [1], which tracks exercise performed at a medium to high heart rate. My target is 10,000 steps a day and 180 minutes of exercise per week. Having those stats available at a glance on my wrist has significantly helped me stay on top of them. I can recommend it! Otherwise, I've disabled all smartwatch features. 8-)

aramndrt··on Ask HN: Those making $500+/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell
What about AI/ML attracted you more? I’m at a point in my studies, and I can either go down the big data route (more backend focused) or AI (frontend focused, i.e. how the computer interprets data), and I just can’t decide. Any insights would be much appreciated! :)
aramndrt··on Ask HN: What are you passionate about at the moment?
Could you please elaborate on why you think you passed out or what led up to that incident? Whenever I'm particularly stressed, I tend to become very light-headed or dizzy to the point where it feels like I'm about to pass out, but I never do. I've had this on and off for years. I'm only 26 years old.
aramndrt··on Ask HN: Do high refresh rate monitors make it hard to go back?
That is, retina or below 110 PPI? Is it really so bad that a 1440p 27-inch is preferable to a 4K 27-inch? Do you have firsthand experience?

I've read mixed reports.

aramndrt··on Ask HN: Startup ideas that you'll never do?
Developing software for small, independent cinemas is a notable idea. While I can't speak for the global situation, based on my experience in Europe, many cinemas suffer from outdated and subpar booking software. Creating an aesthetically pleasing platform akin to Shopify for webshops could prove to be a lucrative endeavour. My research into existing solutions revealed a dearth of options, and the few available ones look crap.
aramndrt··on Ask HN: How do you synchronise your notes?
Ulysses with Ulysses sync.

I used to use Obsidian with iCloud sync between my Mac and iPhone. However, I found iCloud sync to be too unreliable, and Obsidian Sync was beyond my budget.

After recently exploring alternatives, I have now chosen Ulysses with Ulysses sync (taking advantage of a student discount at 11 USD/6 months). I write all my notes in Markdown and organize them exclusively within folders and subfolders, without using links and tags. This setup suits me perfectly.
