I'm building an app to help people reclaim their attention, if you are interested in helping beta test please fill in the form ! - coghance.com

As it happens I'm currently working on an app to help with this problem, effectively a soft habit tracker designed for daily reflection and mindful progression. It touches on some of the themes in this HN thread - helping create quiet space, time away from stimulation.

It's an early stage, fully functional but I'm looking for beta users. If you're interested in helping out or simply trying the app, please complete the form on https://coghance.com !

Is it possible the child nudity detection could be done on-device, fully private? This wouldn't amount to surveillance.

The statistics on global child porngraphy rings are quite shocking. The UK is a big market consumer for these images/streams.

Those answers won't be too helpful. We have very high bills compared internationally, due to a difficult-to-explain quirk (pay-as-clear marginal pricing) where all electricity is charged to the customer at the highest rate possible at that moment. So wind may cost 0.05 pkwh and be freely available but if gas is being utilised anywhere else in the grid at a cost of eg. 0.45 then everybody gets charged 0.45 pkwh, even for the wind energy.

Its a messed up system which means often pay the highest in Europe, without even helping that much towards the tax coffers. But reform of this system does seem to be gaining a bit of political momentum.

Indeed, they're not AGI. They're basically autocomplete on steroids.

They're very useful, but as we all know - they're far from infallible.

We're probably plateauing on the improvement of the core GPT technology. For these models and APIs to improve, it's things like Skills that need to be worked on and improved, to reduce those mistakes that it makes and produce better output.

So it's pretty disappointing to see that the 'Skills' feature set as implemented, as great of a concept as it is, is pretty bogus compared to just front loading the AGENTS.md file. This is not obvious and valuable to know.

It does feel like scraped is being used for it's negative connotations.

Perhaps "consumed" would work just as well and be more accurate.

Same here, UK

How would you do this for historical accounts? 2FA needs to be set up by users. It has gone through multiple iterations over the past 2 decades and was not always standard practice. 23andme was founded in 2006.

Shein is bad for the planet and bad for humanity. They profit through exploitation; mostly of their workers (breaking even Chinese labour law), ripping off designs, dodgy marketing practices, skirting local tax laws and employing dark UI patterns. Their clothes are so low in price and quality that they are often worn once and thrown away. At $40B GMV they are bigger than most of their competitors combined; fast fashion on steroids, flying under the radar. Their mere existence is accelerating the destruction of the planet and feels like a distopian hell hole that won't be stopped.

It works something like this;

1. Somebody uploads a design they found (probably stole) and creates a piece of clothing

2. Somebody else with just a shred of desire clicks on a couple of buttons and pays $3.78

3. A Chinese sweat shop worker immediately picks up the order and creates the piece of clothing and gets paid $0.03 for the trouble (whilst working 18 hour days in leui of any breaks, weekends or holiday)

4. The clothes get air shipped across the world and delivered to the customer, skipping customs and taxes

5. The customer, who basically forgot they bought the clothes (it was after all purchased in a tiktok haze and didn't affect them much financially) trys on the item, takes a photo, and throws it in the closet

6. A year later it gets donated to charity, who assesses the quality and redirects it to landfill

(most of my information here has come from a documentary, "Inside the Shein Machine)

Make it profitable, or at least sustaible.

2C is criticized as insufficient, because even a warming of two degrees will have serious consequences for humans and the environment, as demonstrated in particular by the IPCC Special Report on the consequences of a global warming of 1.5C [1].

Here's a recent build by a hobbyist. An interesting watch and an impressive outcome, it vibrates the entire house.

The article is from 2020, maybe the regulation has come into effect.

(They don't obscure your vision. They help avoid spillage.)

It's not a revolving door decision. You can't vote-force your way into joining a separate country or political institution, e.g. Ukraine can't simply gain a majority vote to be part of the EU and it happens.

This is why it's seen as a once-in-a-generation vote. The impacts are so huge, revolutionary and so long-term, that it's not a conversation you want to have every 4-5 years until one year you chance your way to the preferred result.

Americans travel with their cards, too

Alas, I mentally skipped over that part of the article and reacted to this being somehow on the onus of the web designer.

It seems it may not be quite as simple as I described, but you could probably spoof the device width being sent to the web page

A probably more realistic 'fix' for this would be a browser extension that could strip media queries out of all websites' css, below a certain threshold (eg, 600px)

This is a good point and I agree for most businesses, you wouldn't want to publish your bi. But slimsag makes an interesting & valid point: that if you are confident enough in the privacy policy of your analytics, you should be able post it publicly without alteration.

Let me share with you one of my favourite pages on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

Yup, here's an article you may enjoy https://httptoolkit.tech/blog/http-wtf/ and related HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26343577

This headline is sensationalised, it could have been an oversight, not necessarily an intentional decision.

Getting off topic now, but I like those, and still practise it. It lets the reader know not to expect a seperate closing tag.

In the UK I remember it being both a small required annual fee and very popular - but that's just as anecdotal as the comments in your link.

Well put. More than enough clean protein is easily achievable by adding chickpeas, lentils, beans (there are so many beans also soy/tofu) as well as certain greens like spinach and wholegrains, too.

However these plant based alternatives are getting pretty damn good for when you want some comfort food or a classic bbq.
