pareshverma91··on When to assume neural networks can solve a problem
I wonder if the same book recommendations are happening because people might just be buying products like these for gifts. Something like I liked this book, so you should read it to.
pareshverma91··on Show HN: Ultimate Plumber – a tool for writing Linux pipes with live preview
Looks great. Personally, I have been using a "cache" function to cache output of expensive commands. This has helped me iterate faster on pipelines that call into apis.

  function cache {
      cmd="$*"
      name=$(echo "$cmd" | base64)
      if [[ -f ./cache/$name.exit ]] && [[ $(cat ./cache/$name.exit) -eq 0 ]]; then
          echo "cached"
      else
          mkdir -p ./cache
          eval "$cmd" > ./cache/$name.out
          echo $? > ./cache/$name.exit
      fi
      cat ./cache/$name.out
  }

  cache ls /
pareshverma91··on On generative algorithms
About half a decade ago I had added a random blot generation to my now-unmaintained-site https://web.iiit.ac.in/~paresh.verma/. I have spent a few hours generating random blots, and trying to interpret them. Adding more structure to it, with an algorithm should make it more interesting and entertaining.

I think it would be interesting to compare an image shot in the daylight with the one created with this processing scheme in the same daylight. I expect the normal exposure shot to be better than the processed one, but it would be interesting to observe the difference in quality.

Does DistroKid track the usage/consumption details of the songs for artists to look at or analyze? If so, what is the probability that they will expand to also have a recommendation system for indie music based on these aggregated stats?
pareshverma91··on Show HN: Give 7B people an instant physical address
Ability to swap underlying ip address is orthogonal to using alphanumerics in DNS. Numeric sequences could also be used as CNAME for the ip address. But we don't because of human brain.

Looks great. But I think quite a few people (the audience with which the recording would be shared) would like to see the entire session at once instead of watching the entire video. It would also be helpful for the writer to quickly verify if they missed something.

Showing the same gifs without those white solid lines for comparison would have been better. Anyways cool stuff :).
