Why is the act of physically showing up so important? I think reducing friction can be a great way to get more people to vote.

There's a "major outage" for ChatGPT on their status page.

Topics of discussion change, in this thread I believe we're talking about AIs "hallucinating" "content". Not books specifically.

You make a valid point though, which is actually more scary now that I think about it... it is becoming less and less possible for non-google (/other huge) companies to train models on verifiably human-generated content, as only Google (/other huge companies) have enough accurately timestamped data to train on. Hmm.

I can get an AI to write 50k bad articles and publish them on my site, with the publish dates set back to before 2021.

I found it quite simple to use Jekyll, could be because I used a ""butler"" for it - found Poole[1] pretty good to get started with.

Also I guess since I'm a Ruby dev a lot of Jekyll stuff made sense to me pretty quick.

Samsung tablets can act as second screens for windows PCs AFAIK.

For Linux I've had some success with Microsoft's RD Client android app -> remote to Linux PC.

I'm on gnome though, which has some experimental setting which allows you to set remote desktop clients to act as a new display instead of cloning your existing display.

Not sure about this figure?

> But the crowns can account for up to 80% of the fruit’s volume...

Also instead of just yanking off the crown, which seems to aggravate browning, they could probably just cut it off close(r) to the stem for essentially the same volume savings but less quick browning?

If main/master isn't your production branch then allowing auto merge makes a lot of sense.

And if your changes have been QA'd in staging and/or they aren't that hectic (and are backwards compatible) then I think auto merge into prod can be fine too.

I think the recent announcement of OverflowAI [1] could work quite well in this way for a big company like that.

FWIW the announcement reads very boring to me but I guess I was expecting something else. Likely won't be super useful in a small-medium size company.

I have a Logitech G600 and my most used remapped keys are hotkeyed to:

Ctrl + Tab (next tab)

Ctrl + Shift + Tab (previous tab)

and Ctrl + W (close tab)

... it's so so useful to be able to flick through browser/code tabs and close them all from my mouse.

I see a good unused 3-button combo on your screenshot that could be good for these bindings, even if they are a bit awkward to click :P

Some other oft-used hotkeys are my ShareX Screenshot hotkey (ShareX is awesome. Windows-only though), and a hotkey I set up to handle the StreamKeys extension so that I can play/pause YouTube, Twitch etc. with my mouse (works better than just media hotkeys in my experience).

Yep the MXA3 has a middle click. Great mouse.

Took me a while to realise there are no "your comment has been replied to!" type notifications on HN. Seemed weird to me.

I know there are a couple third-party services that you can sign up on to monitor that for you (they email you when someone replies to you, AFAIK), but I opted to just go with the flow and hit my "threads" link every now and then to see if someone has replied to something.

Agreed - built-in, opt-in HN notifs (or easy-to-opt-out) would be good to help with what OP is asking about, IMO.

TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin [1] is probably my favourite youtuber. Such a gentle soul.

Crafting ASMR of the highest caliber.

Not "monetarily" as high value as some of the other examples here, but Icefrog, the lead developer/game balancer for Dota and Dota 2 is also mostly pseudonymous.

I think if it weren't for some stupid comments by a League developer (?), no normal people would know who he is. Now, if you try hard enough, you can find his identity leaked in an old blog/forum post (?) and have it proven/corroborated in other areas online I think.

100%

I think I understand what OP is getting at, but if an AI lawyer proves to be both cheaper to hire and more effective at defending me... it's a no-brainer IMO.

Then after my AI lawyer and I win my jaywalking hearing or whatever, I can meet up with friends and talk about things like humans do.

Ahaha oh dear, well at least you tried.

It looks like Explorer tabs are a very recent addition to W11, so perhaps it isn't fully supported by AH1?

Unless by 'tabs' you mean 'instances' or 'windows'?

I feel that way about the ClockworkPi consoles [1]

There's a 5% chance that I fall madly in love with this thing and go tinker on some project in a coffee shop every weekend... but it's much more likely that I end up almost never using it :|

I think it's almost the opposite - (I think) banks started issuing credit cards (with no ability to overdraw) as "debit cards" because it makes them more convenient for online shopping and such.

Not sure why else "debit cards" would suddenly have CVV codes and such.

I think any effort being put into laptop cameras these days (and for the last 5+ years) is to make them smaller in all dimensions.

I'm guessing companies have found that it's always a trade-off between camera quality and bezel size, and a thinner bezel impresses people more than a better camera.

I find Apple webcams perform better in video calls than most/all others, so they don't really have much to worry about. If you do want some insanely high quality "webcam", you could buy that magsafe gimmick they showed off last year that allows you to use your iPhone's back cameras as the webcam for your MacBook.

I thought Reddit had a page with a bunch of canaries (pictures of canaries) on it, and their idea was to remove one at a time. Can't find that now so it must have been some other service.

I think an elegant way for rsync to handle this would be to just move the page from ".../canary.txt" to ".../canary-2.txt".

Sends the message that the first canary is dead, but leaves a second one up for the next warrant.

I think this is true, but currently you can coax e.g. stable diffusion to generate art in the style of a specific person, and if you do things right, it will even have a smudge-y version of their monogram/signature in the bottom right.

Pretty clear indication that something is not yet 'transformative enough', IMO.

Same happens with Copilot and such - you can get it to spit out tens of lines of code verbatim pulled from someone else's project, with comments and all.

These kinds of things just don't sit right with me.

I think this part is largely subjective. I really like the taste.

Agree with the parent to your comment - did not mean to insinuate it should replace water.

I have the same issue. I mostly only drink out of habit.

This year I aim to get more active, and bought a fancy water bottle a while ago which will hopefully help with staying hydrated.

Regarding your 'lightly salted' water, if you can source it easily enough I'd suggest you try some Pocari Sweat [1] for a workout type drink - it's an electrolyte replenisher. I got into it when we lived in the middle east (found it in cans for cheap) and since then I sometimes buy it in powdered form [2]. I really like the taste - lightly sweet/salt.

I'll try adding a bit of salt to my drinking water and see how it goes, thanks!

I'm late to this but IIRC this is kind of the tech that LTT has started making use of for spanish audio - I don't know any of the nitty gritty details but I think they feed the english track as well as the script into the AI and get a much more natural-sounding translation out of it. For sections that don't come out "right" you can help it along by re-training just that section etc.

See vid for some discussion around it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5uCvcyD0Eo

This is cool!

BTW for anyone else interested - you can hit "show transcript" on any YT vid (with CC I'm guessing) - and follow along with the video and/or CTRL + F to find mentions of things.

On most screens "show transcript" will probably be hidden behind the triple dot menu to the right of the like/dislike buttons.

Been using this for a while to cut down gameplay footage I want to share with friends. It works well but I wish they implemented a simple way to combine multiple audio streams into one stream for upload to youtube/elsewhere.

From what I can tell, FFMPEG does support actions like that. Perhaps it's not "lossless enough" for the app author.

Their number of devs combined with how the platform has looked/felt the same for 10 straight years?

Yeah I think general consensus is that twitter was bloated and I'm guessing a lot of people were skimming by not doing much (or stuck doing things that amounted to not much).

Elon's methodology isn't the best way forward though. Ugh idk.
