ny2244111··on Is Neuroscience a Bigger Threat than Artificial Intelligence?
"Neuroscience shows that that in our brains the neural circuits neither have nor need content to do their jobs."
ny2244111··on Is Neuroscience a Bigger Threat than Artificial Intelligence?
Just a developer, but is this author subtly arguing that in the end, behaviorism has some sort of validity?

You get a foreign maid, and you get a foreign maid. Everyone gets a foreign maid!
ny2244111··on Ask HN: What should we fund at YC Research?
I would say they invest heavily in narrow AI like Apple and Microsoft, Amazon, etc. However, AGI is rarely dealt with.
ny2244111··on Ask HN: What should we fund at YC Research?
AGI. It's nearly impossible to get a big company to invest in AGI due to the historically bad ROI. That's also the reason there probably won't be a successful startup in this space for a while. The private sector is not particularly great at exploration where ROI is uncertain. OpenCog is a great start, but it would be nice to have another project in parallel that utilizes different ideas.

Now I remember why I made it expire and/or only usable once. Consider public places or caching. Since the temporary authentication token is exposed in the URL there is a risk that someone else can reuse it. Whereas if it's a one time temporary token then you should be OK. I think I need to be more explicit in that this is a one time token. The whole passwordless thing is new so there are some pain points.

Thanks! I'm sticking to it. Why trust anyone with passwords these days. I may add social logins though.

Point taken. The animations are just pure CSS3 although the fades still use jQuery. I got the gulp folder idea from this blog post as a way to decouple gulp tasks from individual projects: http://viget.com/extend/gulp-browserify-starter-faq

Frustrating. Not able to recreate. There are some unnecessary repaints but can't see much other than that.

I still have to implement that. Not sure how to represent that in the UI yet. Maybe drag it back to the open box. Not sure yet.

Can you hold the title box instead of tapping to see if that allows you to type? Not sure why that is the case.

I hear you. It was actually supposed to be like you're looking down at a desk and then seem as if you were moving your head up at the bookshelf. The bookshelf doesn't move so it's a bit odd right now.

I honestly just wanted to try flux. I ran into some problems with my architecture however and maybe reflux would of helped me simplify it. I think you made a fine choice.

If you could tell me some of the specs of your system so I can check why it is so laggy that would be great.

One thing that is hacky/a problem with the app is that I wanted to be able to hash tag notes and have the hashtags a different color. Also very soon i'd like to add the ability to highlight text. It's pretty hard to do that smoothly even with the contenteditable attribute.

I decided on a transparent textarea over a div and I sync and transform the content. It is a bit clunky as you say but I anticipate it will get better.

+1. Thx.
ny2244111··on Show HN: A simple note-taking app built in React
Thx, will fix.

I was developing it on assembly and therefore there's this repo: https://github.com/asm-products/notello. It's quite a few commits behind so there's probably tons of bugs but at least it's a start. I'm still learning this stuff myself.

I just used CSS3 tbh. Some of the animation stuff was painful due to timing issues. There's also some jQuery fadeIn/fadeOut stuff but I'm trying to get rid of that.

Hmm, yea I made it so that each password token can only be used once in case someone gets a hold of your email. I can see how that can be annoying. I'll work on a solution to that. Thanks for the feedback.
