This commenter says he has different birth dates in different countries' sytems, which is correct if you consider the exact time of birth, but... that's probably a bug? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48853128
> It’s a macOS app that lets you scroll hands-free with your Apple headphones (AirPods Gen 3+, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max) by gently nodding your head up or down.
Man, you write too damn much.
"Use your AirPods to scroll on macOS by head movement".
I wonder if there's things that run 24/7 and need to be monitored.. e.g. if you have oil flowing through some pipeline at 100 liters/second, one particular minute will have 6100 liters, and someone will want to get paid for that 100 extra liters.
But the meter/reporting tool would say "Well, we measure every second, and the meter reported a constant rate of 100 liter/second, and as we know we have 60 seconds in a minute, so we got 6000 liters!".
Or a database for "measurements every second for this minute" that has 60 fields, and don't have a field for the 61st measurement.
Man, that age means you're "conscious" life had smartphone/social media in it, according to this (1), if you're born 1999 or later (it's a report from 2012 and mentions teens 13-17), your teenage years probably involved smartphones/social media.
As someone older, I wonder what it must be like to grow up since childhood in a world where socializing is done a lot on Facebook/IG comment sections, as well as chasing likes for self-worth.
Hah, there's a wall of text that starts with the developer's life story (whooo cares), some graphic that didn't explain anything. Read the conclusion and ask myself "did they implement a dictionary app?", and I had to click "Get ScrollPods" and navigate away from the page and guess it's something to do with ears/headphones and scrolling.
The text "lets you use airpods (or compatible headphones) to scroll would be really helpful" is also not very specific, mentioning the gyroscope would make it clear.
> but I think this article was just generated by another user who read that comment and thought it's suitable to bloat into a blogspam submission.
I should just tell an AI agent to trawl the Internet for things to expand to blogslop and publish a blog, put some ad on it and profit from the ad-views by the crawling bots! As a bonus maybe it'll increase my "visibility" and the HR bots will think "This person has a popular blog!" and boost my HR score.
Of course because I don't want to lose any self-respect, I'd call it "satirical performance art"...
Did they really take the time of birth into consideration? I suppose that could be an issue with poorly made electronic data exchange, passing along the time and timezone for a field which should be just for the date.
This "thought" is like a fart... No substance, leaves the receiver wondering "What am I meant to do with that?", and also asking "Do I care to ask for an elaboration?".
Feels like, just like humans, the response to "Hi" can be hard-coded. The system already knows the user, or if it's anonymous, it can respond the way a hotel concierge responds to a guest she's unfamiliar with, "How can I help?".
Google replaced its Assistant with Gemini on its phones, so instead of simple sentence parsing like "Set alarm at ..." or "Call...", it has to run the text to some freaking LLM..
Man, the EU is supposed to be the beacon of liberal democracy (after the light of Reagan's shining city on the hill is now truly extinguishing), but with shit like this, it's really making enemies left and right (metaphorically and spectrally).
The last time Internet people were obsessed with OCRing some base64 was a few months ago when the DoJ released tons of emails from some guy who died, but they were released as rasterized PDFs.
Can't remember his name now, there's been so many distractions...
Nowadays cars engage the electronic parking brake (and P on the gear selector) when you open the door. Which has caused another crash, there's a video of a lady stuck at a rail crossing who was screaming she couldn't get the car going, she had opened the door and in the panic didn't notice the car did all that.
Anton Yelchin's death was more annoying, it was a design defect that pushing the gear lever all the way to the top didn't put it into P (like cars of the 80s, of even 50s), the gear lever acted more like a 4-way button, and drivers needed to push it twice (or 3x?) to go to park. Unfortunately his car was probably not new enough to have auto-park when driver door is open. His family got a settlement from the manufacturer..
I stayed at a clinic once, and all the smart TVs were on the same network.. I wonder what would've happened if I streamed a video from my phone to another room's TV.
A decade ago official entities like police or city hall would say "Follow us on Twitter to get the latest news", and would just use it as an instant publication platform (well it's what it was designed for)...
> Is this free?
> HTML Drive is completely free for up to 10 published pages
So what if I want to publish 11 pages?
