i like using /remote-control to keep vibe dev running smoothly against my usage limits and deadlines
kushie··on Apple to skip high-end M6 Mac chips in favor of AI-focused M7 line
my 2 cents is that a new tech node is harder to produce variants on. it's easier to make new flavors of a mature tech node
kushie··on AI companies are buying the Slack data of failed startups
yeah but it's my slop!
kushie··on How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me
i started frequenting hackernews because i knew that tutorials written by developers would start making sense if i just kept trying to read them. it worked!! took a few years though.
kushie··on Would {word1} beat {word2} • Ranked AI game

kushie··on An Age of Hyperabundance
> Bradley had read my essay “HUMAN_FALLBACK” in n+1’s Winter 2022 issue in which I described my year impersonating a chatbot for a real estate start-up.

HN seemed to like this writing (I really did)

kushie··on Synctify – Sync a music drop with a time in the real world
i thought this was going to sync lyrics containing a specific time to that time in real life
kushie··on Challenges with semantic search on transcribed audio files
why not overlap the subtitle excerpts for complete selection options? may be able to have very confident results too. if removing blob conversion speeds it up, is it now fast enough that doubling the table's length is worth it to improve quality? could go for triple overlap?
kushie··on PysimpleGUI
i haven't used this pyinstaller gui, but for my purposes (internal python 3.8) i just set up a batch script for each project to have a single command to make my executable. i've also had to do some wrestling with pyinstaller for specific features, not sure how much the pyinstaller gui helps iron those issues out.
kushie··on Now that cars are like smartphones, we don't really own them

kushie··on I won't deliberately use AI for programming
i think everyone learns differently, and one person's "toggling between 30 tabs" is another's "having this explained to me personally over and over"
kushie··on StarLite 12.5-inch Linux tablet
oh, i don't think tech professionals or software enthusiasts are majority share holders of apple's bottom line
kushie··on Zero Motorcycles makes its service manuals free
this is out of nowhere but if anyone can help me find a service manual (not owners manual) for a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-50 i would be in deep gratitude. a few octaves intermittently don't work and i'd love to tinker
kushie··on Show HN: Pyflo – a free, interactive guide to learning Python

kushie··on A Brief History of Semiconductor Packaging [video]
What's the alternative to education in this subject? What's the purpose of comparing it to professional education? I work in a fab and never learned this history. I've encountered a single person outside of work with interest in my industry and it's because he watches this channel. I think this comment is sour on youtube for education, which sucks, because youtube is one of the most accessible tools for education today.
kushie··on Show HN: Find the most climate friendly meeting location
why cant i view on mobile
