vinni2··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a Rotten Tomatoes for consumer electronics?
There are price aggregators like idealo.de and prisjakt in Noridcs. They are not focused on reviews but they do have some reviews. They could be platforms that could aggregate reviews as well. But hard to keep them credible.

vinni2··on Indian government moves to ban ProtonMail after bomb threat
which is easier to trace presumably?
vinni2··on Cousins are disappearing. Is this reshaping the experience of childhood?
I have another anecdata for you. As a gay man living in a country that has very few children for adoption and bans surrogacy, I have given up on having kids.
vinni2··on Oslo acquires ChatGPT for 110k students and teachers
Good point, but when I sign in I only see GPT-3. My understanding is UiO students and employees have free access to GPT-4 while the other institutions had to buy that as an extra service.
vinni2··on Oslo acquires ChatGPT for 110k students and teachers
Since many commenters are wondering, yes it is GPT-3.5 access through Azure if I am correct. University of Oslo has already done this for their staff and students. They have built a UI https://www.uio.no/english/services/it/ai/gpt-uio/index.html . They call it privacy-focused ChatGPT, but it is poor quality UI and doesn't have access to GPT-4. It is possible to buy access to GPT-4 but that will be expensive.

vinni2··on Ask HN: How did yall meet your SO?
> I'd visit a coffee shop at minimum once per day.

Assuming you bought at least a cup of coffee each visit and average cup costs 3$ thats $1095 per year spent. Do you still go everyday? I guess it’s worth it

vinni2··on YouTube Says It Has More Than 100M Premium and Music Subscribers
I bought a year long subscription for 1,159 INR which is $14. But I feel they will increase the price soon.

I don’t need the Youtube music but just want to get rid of ads.

vinni2··on Germany explores 4-day workweek amid labor shortage
I guess their logic is that it will attract labor from other countries. It certainly sounds attractive to me.
vinni2··on Testing how hard it is to cheat with ChatGPT in interviews
> The closed-book crap can stay closed in the universities and schools demanding a regurgitation of mostly-right knowledge.

I work at a university and most of our exams are open book or project based. You probably want to update your image of universities.

Anything similar for GCP? and using ollama?
vinni2··on Google's Bard shows big leap on LLM performance leaderboard
Comparatively BARD models have relatively lower number of votes. I would wait until number of votes are in the same magnitude as other models.
vinni2··on Heat exchanger masks for cold weather cycling (2019)
Is it just me or the website won’t open?
vinni2··on NYC-bound flight canceled when passenger notices missing bolts on plane wing
It’s interesting that the flight was cancelled instead of flying without the concerned passenger.
vinni2··on EVs work fine in the cold in Norway
I wonder why EVs don’t have a built in functionality to keep the batteries warm in cold weather. Presumably that would consume a bit of energy to keep batteries functioning in full capacity.
vinni2··on Germany's parliament approves easing dual citizenship
Are you sure it is both directions? The article doesn’t say anything about Germans getting other citizenships. I am genuinely curious.
vinni2··on Gasoline is cheap – but charging an EV is still cheaper
Electricity produced at scale using fossil fuels is more cleaner than ICE cars. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/electric-...
vinni2··on Norway to allow mining waste to be dumped in fjords
This along with oil greed is making Norway an evil oil country. A small country like this doesn’t need so much money to offer comfortable life to its citizens at the cost of environment.
vinni2··on Things are about to get worse for generative AI
> I don't see any developped country pressing the brake on AGI in the near future

It’s already happening with EU AI Act https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/202...

vinni2··on Knowledge Graph Reasoning Based on Attention GCN
I don’t get why this paper is newsworthy!
vinni2··on How many legs do ten elephants have, if two of them are legless?
ChatGPT4 answer: Two pounds of bricks weigh more than one pound of feathers. Weight is determined by the mass, and 2 pounds is greater than 1 pound, regardless of the materials being compared.
vinni2··on Costs of running a macOS app studio business
I’ve never worked as a consultant but is it reasonable to assume you always have work (8*21 hours) which pays $120 per hour?
vinni2··on Costs of running a macOS app studio business
I am surprised there is so much money to be made in such simple applications. Kudos well done
