yeahdef··on Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models
I tried the on-device image input model with an app I am building. It's not very good at world-knowledge recall, but can describe the submitted image well enough.
yeahdef··on Show HN: I'm launching a LPFM radio station
We have one of these in my town, Denton TX. KUZU FM. I think it was one of the first. It was originally a pirate radio station, that went legit with LPFM.

yeahdef··on Flipper Zero: Tamagochi for Hackers
...let's say instead of a dolphin named flipper, the character / avatar on the product was a plumber with a big mustache named "Mario". You're telling me Nintendo isn't filing a C&D?
yeahdef··on Flipper Zero: Tamagochi for Hackers
i wonder if anyone owns the rights to the name "flipper" from the TV show. could potentially be argued that it's IP theft.
yeahdef··on The first battery-free Game Boy wants to power a gaming revolution
I found this really interesting to read. It's really cool that they use the mechanical press of the buttons to generate energy. I had never thought of that before. However when you think about those old longpress ratchet flashlights - that was the same concept.

If Facebook is negligent or complicit, I'd certainly change how I interact with the platform. I haven't kept up with the details and would love to be pointed to some summation / analysis of the facts.
yeahdef··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2018)
BloomReach | Integration Engineer | Dallas, TX | Full time | Onsite | https://bloomreach.com/ How do you do? The BloomReach Tech-Services team has a Dallas spot open for an engineer. If you love to get your hands dirty with the connective bits to enable customer integrations, webscraping, and data analysis, give me a ping (I’m on this team).

BloomReach is a product and engineering driven company, headquartered in Mountain View, CA, with a Dallas office of ~20 people just north of downtown. We're walking distance to Mavs games (sup Dirk). We opened up shop here ~2 years ago. Most of our products revolve around search, analytics, personalization, and content management and power many of the biggest brands online.

I’ve been part of the company for 2 of it's 9 years and it has easily been the best step of my career. We’re in an interesting place where a lot of our customers are pivoting from their cumbersome and clunky solutions and they find us. We have two facets to our product geode, Content and Commerce --- and for what its worth, both products are well-placed in Gartner’s 2018 magic quadrant for their respective categories.

Our founder and CEO, Raj, built the company with a goal to make BloomReach the most impactful professional experience of each employee’s career. This describes me. You’re going to be hard pressed to find a better place to work in Dallas for software eng.

And if you’re not the engineer type, we also have Solution Architect, Senior PM, Senior Sales Analyst, and Sales Development Rep positions open in Dallas too (message me joey.liechty@bloomreach.com).

yeahdef··on Apple Music on Track to Overtake Spotify in U.S. Subscribers
Fair reasoning from the archival master standpoint. I share a lot of what I rip with other DJ friends. If I sent them a FLAC or ALAC file, they would respond "what the hell is this? how do i listen to this?". mp3 is ubiquitous and 320 kbps does the trick for me. I hope I don't feel that sting of regret you mention, but my gut feeling is that I will not. I still have the records themselves on the shelf which should last longer than the harddrives :)
yeahdef··on Apple Music on Track to Overtake Spotify in U.S. Subscribers
Another perspective: I am less concerned with music discovery or seamless device hand-offs. I know what I want to listen to. As a former club DJ, I accrued a large amount of records that are simply unavailable via streaming networks. I recently starting ripping a lot of those vinyl records to mp3. I have tried spotify, google play music, and Apple Music. Apple Music is the clear winner when it comes to the importing, tagging, artwork curation workflow. I am really enjoying building my up library from scratch (forgive the pun).
