qorrect··on The Age of AI has begun
And a lot of people here helped it to become what it is today. Cheers!
qorrect··on Generative AI is overrated, long live old-school AI
> Neural networks is not an early concept

No , but the first MLPs from the 1960's famously couldn't solve the XOR problem , they threw a hidden layer in there and fixed it, and now we're in the 'how many layers can we jam in there' phase.

My point being although neural networks are not new, they keep adding fun new things to it to create novel new features.

> Not only that, but the innovation around this tech is also just getting started.

You mean since the 2010's ?

qorrect··on Generative AI is overrated, long live old-school AI
What ? We all use it everyday, it's just that as soon as the problem was solved with 'old AI', everyone forgot it was an AI problem.

I second this question. I was using FISH for quite a while and really liking it, but there was always something that it was incompatible with and had to eventually give it up.

qorrect··on Show HN: BabyGate Mobile app (babyproof your phone)
My Sister just became a new mother , and my adorable niece Chapman kept taking our phones and changing settings or calling people. Jacquelyn (sister) had the idea of making a babyproof app that would LOOK like a phone, but couldn't do any real damage.

So we made BabyGate, and added educational things like Animals and Alphabets, along with kid safe videos from YouTube Kids.

I give it to my friends kids all the time, it works they love it.

Question for HN: I never know how to price these things, any feedback on pricing ? Or anything else for that matter. Thanks!

Under the hood it uses Kiosk mode for android, and GuidedAccess for iPhone.

qorrect··on Electron Fiddle: Get started with Electron
Fully agree on all points, I've never had a performance issue with Electron.

I have had Slack fill my home directory with logs once , long time ago. But that wasn't an electron problem.

> I believe this is akin to "people who drink x% a day have no problems", it's _static_. What it totally ignores is that the addictive substance subtly changes behavior over time and x% of those people go on to become full blown addicts.

Great point, I had not heard that before.

Thanks for obsessing about your smell though, I just stood in a room full of smelly people.

qorrect··on How we learned about coffee delivery
I hate starbucks and most coffee places, it's so expensive, usually tastes bad, and making coffee at home is quick and painless.

But I would definitely buy coffee from a vendor like this. What other captive markets could you sell coffee to ? Where do people wait in line a lot ... Texas DPS would be a gold mine.

qorrect··on ChatGPT Plus
> It's going to be fascinating. I can't think of a time in the past where white-collar jobs have been made obsolete like this.

Only thing that comes to mind is South Korea where most are highly educated and it's hard to get white collar jobs and the trashman makes $200K.

It is going to be fascinating. I'm 50/50 on this ending in a Star Trek future , or a Dystopian nightmare.

qorrect··on ChatGPT Plus
Yes, it's time to really start thinking about that. I'm excited for the future, afraid for us , without a plan. Also I think most people will hand wave this away "It'll never happen to me".

Very fun question to think about, if there are no more "jobs", what does society look like.

qorrect··on ChatGPT Plus
Lots of people went hungry during the industrial revolution, couldn't get a job people starved. It's going to be awesome for those looking back on it, for us living through it ... it's going to suck.
qorrect··on ChatGPT Plus
I'm extremely worried. This tech is going to replace a lot of jobs in the next 10-20, including ours ( software ). And if not replace, it's going to cut the available positions drastically. We already have a great divide between those with money and those without and this is a nuclear bomb about to go off. Without any sort of UBI or social safety nets, this is going to be a true disaster.

That's thing with irrational fears.

I've recently switched to the handheld ones because the seat attachments require you to shift your butt around to catch the stream. Friends seem to be more weirded out by this one though.

qorrect··on Show HN: Kody Tools – I developed 300 tools in 6 months
I save maybe 10 minutes an hour with Github Copilot. Especially when writing tests, it will auto complete things like 'I expect these two numbers to sum to X' , except those numbers are buried in a list in an object, but somehow it creates the correct sum , that I use for the expected value. The danger is, sometimes it just creates completely wrong code, and you have to diligently be checking its generated output. They should maybe include accuracy ratings with the suggestions.
