nickrubinon The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones

This is especially embarrassing because their logo is literally an eclipse and it's the name of one of their color options... Seriously??

nickrubinon The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones

Their demo of AI Q&A in the announcement video (@3:36) is totally wrong. The Pin says the April 2024 total eclipse will be best viewed from Australia and East-Timor...

nickrubinon Ask HN: Am I getting older or did typing on the iPhone become unbearable?

Same experience here.

I actually thought this was a me problem and not an iPhone problem. I figured I was just getting lazy and had become too reliant on autocorrect to clean up my mistakes over the years.

I do notice that I tend to type much faster than I did 5-10 years ago. If I deliberately slow myself down like 30% I'm able to type almost flawlessly. Does this resonate with anyone else?
