dannyeei··on My server is a phone now
Hahaha I did this with AI last week. It’s confirmed. We have AGI!
dannyeei··on My server is a phone now
Crazy timing. I did the same thing last week!

I have an old oneplus 6 and all I did was plug it into my computer and told Claude what I want and it just worked.

I even told it to make sure the battery doesn’t charge above 80% to not fry the battery and it couldn’t find the setting so wrote something to make it work.

I feel like this whole thing would have taken a weekend pre AI - instead I did it on a whim and spent about 5 minutes on it and it took less than 2 hours of wall clock time.

dannyeei··on An invisible desktop application that will help you pass technical interviews
Unfortunately real life problems involve a lot of context and introducing that to interviews is hard. It either requires a long conversation where someone might lose track, or involve writing a large ish code base and getting them to work on that (which is a lot of work, and once again they don’t have context).

In my experience if a problem simple enough to be completed in an hour, it’s simple enough for AI.

dannyeei··on Study finds 90% of Australian teachers can't afford to live where they teach
I’d be curious how old this rule is - because a lot of other goods have really dropped in price.

Food costs for a household were closer to 30% if income and now that’s dropped to 10%. Clothing and technology has taken a similar path.

dannyeei··on Notes on rarely-seen game mechanics
My partners family plays a version of Canasta where you start dealing by picking up all the cards you think you’ll need to deal and if you picked it perfectly you get another 100 points.

It’s a great addition to the game and makes it a positive to be the dealer.

dannyeei··on De-Stressing Booking.com (2019)
I’m very jealous of your experience.

On booking.com I booked a place with a lockbox and it didn’t have all the required keys on it.

Multiple phone calls gave me no help and I found a way to effectively break into the building and I just did that every day for the rest of my stay

dannyeei··on Show HN: Noya – A new kind of design tool
If you like watching design happen you should give the Relume Design League a watch on YouTube. Top designers get 30 minutes to design a website. https://www.youtube.com/live/-78khPk3Lpk?feature=share

dannyeei··on Use GPT-3 incorrectly: reduce costs 40x and increase speed by 5x
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been looking at trying cheaper models but have been scared about quality. Definitely more tempted to try these now!
dannyeei··on Microsoft is preparing to add ChatGPT to Bing
Very excited to see increased competition here!

I'm very interested in the UX decisions they make here. Is it just going to be ChatGPT with a Bing logo or will it be able to intelligently decide when a search engine is better? Will it give results in natural language?

If they sometimes do normal search instead at least that answers how they'll make money

dannyeei··on The 5% Rule
It’s possible but I’ve talked to friends who work at gyms and various other sport related areas and they all agree.

Sample size is very small still.

dannyeei··on The 5% Rule
When I was younger I worked at a local supermarket and later at a sports store - turns out customers at the sports store were almost exclusively nice.

Not a huge sample size as I only worked at the one store but from talking to others seems like the number of degenerates is waaaay lower when people play sports

dannyeei··on The hype around esports is fading as investors and sponsors dry up
Some smaller companies are doing cool things with esports https://youtu.be/RkrWz7G-blY?t=841
dannyeei··on Wordle for Poker
Awesome game! Not sure what everyone else is saying - I found it easy to understand and it works fine on iPhone
dannyeei··on Ask HN: Which software do you use for your presentations?
Canva is the best solution for higher quality presentations. The templates make everything you do look professional and it's really easy to use.
dannyeei··on Ask HN: How would you monetise this site?
Don’t overthink it at first. Just slap a Google Adsense banner on it and build on it from there. Often traffic spikes like this aren’t long lived.
dannyeei··on Ask HN: YouTube Channels for the Intellectually Curious
I personally like going quite in depth into esoteric topics

- car aerodynamics -> https://www.youtube.com/c/KYLEDRIVES

- rockets and space travel -> https://www.youtube.com/c/EverydayAstronaut

- geopolitics -> https://www.youtube.com/c/CaspianReport

- random subjects but always interesting -> https://www.youtube.com/c/PolyMatter

dannyeei··on Ask HN: How to get developers and UI designers to work well together
I’ve been working very closely with one over the past few months and the biggest improvement is clearly defining terms and making sure we always stick to them

We realised we were using the word design for like 4 different things and often two or more interpretations were valid

dannyeei··on Ask HN: How to block all political content from showing up online?
I would pay for this
dannyeei··on Redactle – a daily game of un-redacting Wikipedia articles
Far out - after 20 minutes I'm giving up. Please add an easy mode
dannyeei··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
My girlfriend and I like puzzle games and would strongly recommend “ibb and obb” and “death squared”
dannyeei··on Google Research: Themes from 2021 and Beyond
> We are also working hard to broaden the perspective of Responsible AI beyond western contexts.

This really grabbed my attention - I fear big tech is pushing American morals down the throat of the rest of the world. This is great that they’re noticing this and trying to correct for it!

dannyeei··on Ask HN: Startups vs Big Companies: Which do you prefer?
In my opinion you've already got a job at Microsoft - and I imagine a decent amount of savings then. If things go bad you'll still have those skills and you'll be able to get another highly paid job in corporate. I strongly disagree that startups are like corporate. Startups don't have all the red tape which allows you to move very quickly which I personally find very satisfying!
dannyeei··on Switching to a four-day workweek (2021)
Why is the 4 day week always talked about but never the 9 day fortnight? I feel like that would be far easier to pull off
dannyeei··on Ask HN: What do you consider a founding engineer?
I see it as talking about skill set not renumeration. The skill set differs from a normal engineer as it’s better to have a large breadth of knowledge and there’s more of an expectation to work hard and have a lot of ownership. In Australia it seems like the going rate of equity for early engineers is south of 5% and if you get in truly early stage then what you said makes sense.
dannyeei··on Ask HN: Favorite Podcast Episode of 2021?
Can’t believe no one has mentioned Acquired! The episode on Standard Oil is extremely good https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/standard-oil-part-i
dannyeei··on Ask HN: Favorite Podcast Episode of 2021?
There’s an episode on Acquired with him where he talks about FTX. Would definitely recommend!
