I always find it so interesting how little the topic of Californian independence comes up online. You would think there would at least be a decent amount of organic content around that, never mind external interference.
That's true but in reality I think people are far more afraid of AI in terms of how it is being used in warfare and policing. Automatic target detection and deployment of drones, or even how it might simply make their role at work redundant etc
I'm seeing some hate for SOLID in these comments and I am a little surprised. While I don't think it should ever be used religiously, I would much rather work on a team that understood the principles than one that didn't.
yeah, i had intended to allow that but it just felt messy when i considered strategies for syncing the espresso logs from from non-account users to when they do finally sign in. I'll probably eventually get around to it as I do agree it is a little annoying to be forced to login but for now its just a "magic link" sign in and there is a button in settings where you can delete your account pretty easily.
I've moved to pCloud for photos and I've found it to be a good alternative. One frustrating thing is that if you are cycling through your photos on the default pcloud app, they are usually slow to render which can be frustrating. Playing music on the app is also a little frustrating. It works, but it it's not an amazing UX. Other than that I am completely content with pCloud though, and I would recommend it.
One other thing to be made aware of is that the macOS ecosystem seems to be a little hostile towards pCloud and it seems to be fighting a never ending battle in order to the get the remote drive functioning reliably there. It works, but it can be a little annoying at times.
On a related note, I have been working on an app that helps determine the correct grinder setting when dialing in espresso. After logging two shots with the same setup (grinder, coffeee machine, basket etc), it then uses machine learning (and some other stuff that I am still improving) to predict the correct setting for your grinder based on the machine temperature, the weight of the shot etc.
Its far from perfect when it comes to predictions right now but I expect to have massive improvements over the coming weeks. For now it works ok as an espresso log at least.
I'm hoping after a few tweaks I can save people a lot of wasted coffee!
great idea, but seems a little futile if there is no protection agains llms training on HN comments. ironically, if HN can succefully prevent llm content, it will become one of the best sources available for training data
Its good PR. He had some pretty bad PR recently that caused a lot of people to boycott the service. I assume this is him trying to regain trust or something?
Thanks for the feedback. The images come from pixabay, pexels, and my own camera, some will be AI generated, most aren't - they are selected for their suitability in learning certain vocabulary. The hints are all manually added. AI is used for translations (although I am in the process of replacing most translations for the non-beta languages with professional translations) and feedback. If you found the web app UI to be "janky" maybe you could try install the native app for your device.
I don't disagree with what you are expressing but I think you are overgeneralising.
Sometimes the idea itself can be interesting. If AI is used to manifest the idea then so be it!
Secondly, I think it is almost unavoidable to use some ai generated content (code, design etc) when developing these days. Its just a tool and it can be used well or used poorly.
Lastly, I agree that there does exist a lot of what can truly be labelled "AI slop" where it is just lazy regurgitated content, and that is annoying.
>I don't know any online tool which would provide me which mine does, and frankly the reality nowadays seems that it could take me more to find one if it existed.
That is a pretty interesting point. I've been running into that problem quite often recently.
