My granny is almost deaf and I will test the idea for her, for she loves birds

I want to nitpick the point here : "And Office suite wise, it took Google about 15 years of pouring money into Google Docs to be almost as good as the MS offering"

From my point of view, it's more : "Google screwed up their online, instantaneous multi-user tool so bad that Microsoft had the time to pour billions into Office-Online-365-whatever-name and now you have Word & Excel in the browser and Google lost their edge".

Without any knowledge of the matter, just looking from outside, Google had the money and the talent to get there but not the focus and the drive.

Silly example : Coloring a text in "Google Docs": the icon is black and white. You can't make that up. Impossible to find it every time I need it and I am using it for 2 months now. Every little detail is like that, showing lack of care for the users.

please rework your color gradient text on the landing page of Wanderfugl. On dark mode it is rendered as a rectangle of gradient. My dark mode is handled by Dark Reader the firefox addon. It breaks the flow of presentation.

Also, at the bottom, the beta is opened but it closes the November 15th, so it's close and open at the same time :) (else it's November 2026?)

I agree How can the previous comment be on hacker news ? Every one here has followed the llama release saga. The famous cheeky PR on their GitHub with the torrent link was genius comedy.

Does Gemini really does a good job at detecting promotional video ? For example, that one video discussed in this post is one huge promotion for his friend product but it is actually built in a way that clearly appeals to nerdy audience. The video boasts the rigorous testing, provides scientific explanations, nerdy jokes, etc. What Gemini says about that ?

Half the ideas have a solution or a WIP solution :

- first bullet point is litteraly what made Instagram back in 2010s

- calorie tracking is done by taking a picture

- Lifting coach : I 100% bet most lifting app teams are already on it

- Recommandation engine : there is probably 0 money to make here to link random web pages. Where there is money, it's already done brillantly (for the companies) : Tiktok, Youtube algorithms have made huge progress since I see a lot of comments by people saying "I don't know why YouTube recommanded me that video but I am glad I watched it", GOogle News, and probably many more.

- calorie tracking is done by taking a picture

- everything "minimalist" => any good tool focused on 1 main feature and get success will add more feature to cater to specific needs that current users have or that future users are thought to have.

I stop reading the list at that point :/

As always it's probably because maths still is too hard for most people and keeping the rule simple won over fairness.

> Bartosz, if you are reading this, contact me and I'll send you the final casting. This project would never have happened without your blog post.

I am impressed by the quality of your work on this side project and I love that final attention.

Troubling that these eminent great leaders does not cite climate change among societal-scale risks, a bigger and more certain societal-scale risk than a pandemy.

Would be a shame to have energy consumption by datacenters regulated, am I right ?

Here is my feedback.

Steps are not clear enough. It looks to me it's a step by step guide but it missed at least 2 points :

- the search engine must be Google I think ? Mine is duckduckgo and it doesnot work

- I still dont know if my device is supposed to be in airplane mode or no for the test. In airplane mode, even with Google set as the search engine, it does not work. Pixel phone. If I am connected to internet, I do have the single result from the google search.

I guess we are expected to be pleasantly surprised by something, but since I don't know what to look for and it does not work, it's a miss for me.

Personally I prefer to have the explanation alongside the steps that way I know what I am doing and can correctly interpret the instructions. For me, learning the technical trick does not diminish my contentness.

what part is the culprit : the meta quest or the 3D implementation from the website ? On a classis laptop, it behaves well

Wasn't the nordstream incident mostly elucidated ?

I believe they are only wondering about details now and trying to hear the guys.

no much advice i can provide from the other side of the ocean but good luck to you and start looking for a job now to have money coming in sooner. Any litigations will take time and not sure there is money anyway.

I remember reading about Xerox people forecasting the smartphones and tablets. We have a picture of their brainstorming and they used small pages to model a handheld computer. Science fiction was and still is full of more and more integrated computer with human. Technology is driven by imagination more often than not.

Also, the visualization let you think that all the leftmost teenagers are the same ones stacking the bad things. That might be true, but I doubt it is. The part around Highschool was especially unclear. Are they the same teenagers getting all the bad stuff. That would be plausible but not to the extend the visual displays I guess.

In other news, I hate that trend of scrolling to animate to get content.

So nobody's gonna comment that the guy in the painting is getting pickpocketed while watching the magic trick ? This is the real gem from this rant.

Yeah, India is done badly by the OP.

As said before about in the post "BIG DATA is just data", a lot of information is worthless after 1 or 2 years and most after 5 years. Long term value data seems to be stored in IT systems' DBs rather successfully.

And I have so far always find important emails (notably because important topics are easily found emails chains and far more often than not in the dedicated meeting report).

Structuring data is cultural so you should rather learn to use the system used by your organization. Only super small teams and solo-founders need to think about how to store data. Most workers should follow their community to let other people find the information.

Folders, drawer, cabinet have been around for 3 centuries at least and imho, we are not gonna reinvent the wheel with this or that way to structure information.

how does compliance with RGPD will be hold by Archive Teams ? do they remove all personal information while scraping ?

That's conspiracy theory on hackernews :D

these IA behaviors are crazy. I typed your prompt word for word and it failed. I rerun it for fun and it worked :o I tried a few runs and it's 50% success.

Does this study will answer the question behind the low-GI food trend, which is (as best as I understand the topic) : "what are the impact of high, medium, low GI food on our health as non diabetic people" ? Did they track the cohort meals ?

Hello & congrats on showcasing a finished product !

Your web app is incredibly slow for an application that only needs to display some click buttons and one line question. It's frustrating, and I can't imagine founders having spare patience for this while they have so much to do.

faux départ :/

they still there, i just tested.

I use the local Team for my employer organization and log in browser Teams for clients organization. Still, notifications are unreliable across organizations

https://maroofy.com/songs/724345280 That's just the same song always 6 times in a row. you probably already know, one would prefer to have removed versions of the same song by the same artist at the very least.

I am surprised by your feedback as we have heard for years that Chinese students cheat all the time.

Fair point but I am pretty sure so many accounting firms messed up quite often. Without slowing their business much.

I remember this one for example that was probably missed by most people. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58671915

Trump was a loaded client and any firm doing business with any politicians should be extra-careful
