erybodyknows··on Show HN: NeedleDrop – Guess the movie from a song
Congrats on shipping. Do you have a write up with more detail on your approach to coding using ChatGPT?
erybodyknows··on Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
May I ask what you switched to? Running into the same issue.
erybodyknows··on Compare Google, Bing, Marginalia, Kagi, Mwmbl, and ChatGPT
For those (like me) wondering what RAG means: “Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) represents a groundbreaking approach in information retrieval, where the accuracy of search results directly influences the quality of generated answers. In essence, RAG combines traditional search mechanisms with Large Language Model's ability to understand and generate answers.”

erybodyknows··on Animate Anyone: Image-to-video synthesis for character animation
Eyelids, the original ad blockers.
erybodyknows··on Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I miss rectangle the most after switching from macOS to Linux. Ironically I end up using the mouse more on Linux because I haven’t found a similar solution for window sizing keyboard shortcuts.
erybodyknows··on Severity HIGH security problem to be announced with curl 8.4.0 on Oct 11
Didn’t work. If I give you my login and password can you fix for me? Thx
erybodyknows··on Developer tools to create spatial experiences for Apple Vision Pro
I suspect this is the case. This device will be to the future iXR devices what the iPods were to the first iPhone.
erybodyknows··on Developer tools to create spatial experiences for Apple Vision Pro
I believe Brian Eno created a generative audio-based version of this. Each session is a unique composition.

EDIT: It was an app called Wavepaths, here is a link to the Rolling Stone article. (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/hot-digita...)

EDIT pt.2: Here is the app itself. (https://wavepaths.com/)

erybodyknows··on Video to video with Stable Diffusion
Does anyone “in the know” have approximations on cost to run this on collab or similar? Maybe a very rough Dollars per minute of video?
erybodyknows··on Mercury OS
Has anyone attempted to implement this into an existing Linux DE? Or a full screen web app experience?
erybodyknows··on US adult cigarette smoking rate hits new all-time low
I disagree. I think a lot of people try various gimmicks and tactics without staring themselves in the mirror and deciding that they actually want to for themselves.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: What books helped you in your entrepreneurship journey?
‘The Millionaire Fastlane’ by MJ DeMarco. Laughable title aside, the content is life changing.
erybodyknows··on How white can white paint get?
This reminds me of the blackest acrylic paint from Stuart Semple.

erybodyknows··on FreeBSD Home Audio Studio
Would love to see a write up with more detail on this! I love Ableton but it does not play nice with Linux.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: Dealing with ADHD Without Medication?
This is the answer. Use any fleeting motivation to construct the habit. Do not rely on “feeling like it”. Once you’ve created the habit, it will feel uncomfortable not exercising.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: Dealing with ADHD Without Medication?
Use whatever motivation and self discipline you can muster to set up and implement a new habit, not do a thing. Tie it to an existing habit you already do regularly. “Every day after X, I will Y” where X is something you already do and Y is new newly desired behaviour. Keep it brain dead simple at first (eg. Put on my gym shoes). Have compassion if you don’t do it perfectly. Be kind to your self. Do it every day.
erybodyknows··on Why the conventional wisdom on how to grow muscles is wrong
I disagree. As it is now, they will strive to achieve a result that is forever unattainable without performance enhancing drugs. In my opinion, this is like people who make millions selling their how to make millions courses.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: Share Your YouTube Channel
Sounds like a really cool idea for a DAW. Not sure if you’re aware of this, but Ableton save files are just gzipped xls files.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: Twitter was unanimously predicted to implode. Nothing happened. Why?
It may be slightly conspiratorial, but the seemingly mindless hating on anyone remotely financially successful (and their work) starting making a lot more sense once I understood short positions.
erybodyknows··on Do we live in a society without a counterculture?
Interesting point. I guess the question is: is power inherently related to culture? And if so, to what degree? If culture is the outline of the dominant group in a society, perhaps the counterculture are those who occupy and inhabit its shadow.
erybodyknows··on Do we live in a society without a counterculture?
On this topic: part of counterculture used to be the ability to *signal* your identification with the group to other group members. Styles of dress, certain symbols or artifacts have all been commonly used. How does one signal to others their social media rejectionism in the age of social media communication ubiquity?
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: Can you talk about something besides AI for a day?
Don’t picture an elephant! /jk

Asking people not to talk about AI is still talking about AI, with an adversarial twist.

erybodyknows··on Longitudinal analysis of biomarker data from nutrition platform subjects
Full title is actually “Longitudinal analysis of biomarker data from a personalized nutrition platform in healthy subjects”
erybodyknows··on Why are online recipes so long-winded?
A misalignment of incentives. Recipe sites want you to stay on the site for as long as possible, to serve you as many ads as possible, as this increases their income. Providing you with a clear recipe is not their primary goal.
erybodyknows··on How do AIs' political opinions change as they get smarter and better-trained?
I believe they are referring to an exponential increase in noise alongside a relatively linear progression of signal.
erybodyknows··on ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers
I truly wish more people were aware of this. The unrealistic expectations generated as a result of the silence around the topic is shameful.
erybodyknows··on Honey consumption improves blood sugar and cholesterol levels, study suggests
Is this true for Stevia as well?
erybodyknows··on Yerba Mate – A Long but Current History (2021)
Just ordered a bag! Do you have any recommendations for how to best prepare it?
erybodyknows··on Danish scientists concoct fat-free whipped cream out of lactic acid bacteria
The calorie density, for one. Four calories per gram of carbohydrates vs the nine calories per gram of fats.
erybodyknows··on Ask HN: What are 100K dollar ideas but not million dollar ideas?
Fascinating! Every time I read articles or papers on advances in ML I always daydream about their application to guitar tone, synth and sound design. I wonder how long until I can analyze a song section as input that allows me to play that exact tone/synth?
