incone123··on I Don't Have Spotify
From their GitHub: Effortlessly convert Spotify links to your preferred streaming service
incone123··on Income Equality in Nordic Countries: Myths, Facts, and Lessons
I wonder how Gallup framed 'leave permanently' to their interviewees. I know many Filipinos who want to work abroad but retire back home.
incone123··on Flunking my Anthropic interview again
I once got an emergency call to a theatre where a fight scene mishap left an actress punched out cold. There's less opportunity for harm in entertainment relative to medicine but it does happen sometimes.
incone123··on Fake accounts drove the DeepSeek AI hype and distorted markets
Emphasis on layman and I'm not at my PC but when deepseek came out there was something I could pull in ollama that could run on modest hardware.
incone123··on Apple Health lies to you about your six months sleep average
I saw a lecture years ago where, among other things, the professor demonstrated the iPhone calculator app doing calculations differently depending on if you held it portrait or landscape. I think that was poor design rather than intent to mess up your calculations.
incone123··on Fake accounts drove the DeepSeek AI hype and distorted markets
Surely investors and tech leaders, as distinct from speculators, should be testing the product and doing due diligence on the company. I'm just a layman and I liked how a small version of deepseek ran faster and with less power draw on my PC than other small version models did. Output, very informally tested, was good. I did not think the 'reasoning' text added anything useful but I'm also not qualified to say how it contributed to the final output.
incone123··on Show HN: I built AI that turns 4 hours of financial analysis into 30 seconds
And I'm curious: was this a pivot from another industry, or did you just try out Claude on a dummy project?

incone123··on F-35 pilot held 50-minute airborne conference call with engineers before crash
I went to an ejected pilot call when I worked in EMS. Guy was ok but protocol was handle as potential spinal injury. The force of ejecting puts a lot of compression on intervertebral discs and the effect is cumulative so more ejections means more chance of trashing your back.
incone123··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
Even here you are anthropomorphising. It doesn't 'know' anything. A human therapist would escalate this to a doctor or even EMS.
incone123··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
That argument makes sense for a mentally capable person choosing not to use eye protection while operating a chainsaw but it's much less clear that a person who is by definition mentally ill is capable of making such an informed choice.
incone123··on Will Smith's concert crowds are real, but AI is blurring the lines
Not sure if you're serious, but wouldn't it be more efficient to upscale at source and stream the result? Extra bandwidth versus a million TVs all doing the same computation.
incone123··on Will Smith's concert crowds are real, but AI is blurring the lines
Not to defend her preference, but faces (and everything else) can also look different depending on the focal length of the lens used and the distance from lens to subject, _and most people won't realise_.
incone123··on Japan's Creepiest Station
Lots of people will grab the handrail which will dampen the domino effect.
incone123··on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon
And many people are now getting delivery which means another 15 minutes in the delivery vehicle picnic bag.
incone123··on It is worth it to buy the fast CPU
500 GBP in 2018. It looks functional but not stylish, which is all I needed. You make a good point about appearance: companies that want to create a certain impression for visitors are going to spring for better looking furniture.
incone123··on What if every city had a London Overground?
Even zone one does for the normal rail system, but I was imagining what it would be like with the deep lines elevated.
incone123··on It is worth it to buy the fast CPU
Mine is very stable. Top is just some kind of board. It took a bit of damage from my cat's claws but that's not a risk most corporate offices have.
incone123··on It is worth it to buy the fast CPU
I can understand paying more for fast processors and so on but a standing desk just goes up and down. What features do the high end desks have that I am missing out on?
incone123··on It is worth it to buy the fast CPU
$3,000 standing desks?? It's some wood, metal and motors. I got one from IKEA in about 2018 for 500 gbp and it's still my desk today. You can get Chinese ones now for about 150 gbp.
incone123··on Equal Earth – Political Wall Map (2018)
If you want kids to understand what the world looks like, put a physical globe in every elementary classroom. This will give them a starting point from which to understand how different flat projections work.
incone123··on US halts work on almost finished wind farm because national security
It was the adding of 'because...' that I thought was unhelpful. However, some sites a/b test their headlines so it is possible that NPR have used the one given.
incone123··on A German ISP changed their DNS to block my website
Nazi insignia was often worn as an armband. I took the post at the start of this thread to liken ISPs to nazis. I do not find it an apt comparison.
incone123··on US halts work on almost finished wind farm because national security
The title on the article is "Trump administration halts work on an almost-finished wind farm"

The amended title here gave me the false impression that NPR had started speaking valley girl.

incone123··on What if every city had a London Overground?
Imagine what London would be like with the majority of the lines in the centre being on elevated tracks instead of underground
incone123··on Libre – An anonymous social experiment without likes, followers, or ads
You can follow accounts which is a form of curation. I dropped all social media except this one because it was a time-sink but I did used to find following resulted in a useful feed on Instagram.
incone123··on Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org
Do you mean skulduggery or was that a deliberate 'bone apple tea'?
incone123··on Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org
I get similar navigation issues with Google maps. I still use Google maps for driving because the live traffic is important to me, but other posts on here mention other apps with live traffic so I'll give them a try.

incone123··on 4chan will refuse to pay daily online safety fines, lawyer tells BBC
They can promise whatever they like knowing there's very little chance they will be put to the test.

The last time the Lib Dems got a taste of power in 2010 it was by going into coalition with the Tories at the cost of dumping key election pledges. Next election they were dumped by the public and their leader Nick Clegg was hired by Meta - presumably for his connections as he has no particular talent to sell.
