ClassyJacket··on Ask HN: How to add value to newly launched product?
I think this is too vague for anyone to help you. Maybe post more specific details about what the problem is.
ClassyJacket··on Tesla Cybertruck Unexpectedly Accelerates into Home with Rear Wheels Locked
It's pretty obvious they were referring to the accelerator pedal

If nobody will use it, then what's the harm in offering it?
ClassyJacket··on Singapore doubles down on lab-grown meat as Silicon Valley backs off
> The technical challenges are too many to list here, some of which are not public knowledge

I'd love to know the major ones, or whatever you can share.

I'm much more optimistic about lab grown meat than most people. In fact I would love to invest in some lab grown meat companies. The more I know the better.

ClassyJacket··on Microplastics Discovered in Human P*nises for the first time
If they didn't censor it, the mods might unalive the post!!

I'd say that this spreading of needless censoring should be called The TikTok Effect, but The TikTok Effect should probably be the name of the complete and total destruction of attention spans by social media.

ClassyJacket··on The return of pneumatic tubes
What if we special built a space vehicle to hold as many MicroSD-style flash memory chips as we could and blast it off at Voyager speeds?
ClassyJacket··on ExectOS – brand new operating system which derives from NT architecture
I'm not knowledgeable in this low level systems stuff - which other, safer languages could you write a kernel in?
ClassyJacket··on Reports: Apple is halting its next high-end Vision in favor of something cheaper
The front screen is not even useful. You don't even see the eyes, you just see a uniform blue blob - have a look on anything on YouTube not uploaded by Apple themselves, and you'll see.
ClassyJacket··on FTC sues Adobe for hiding fees and inhibiting cancellations
Or anyone outside the US.

Well, this is easily the most insane post I've ever seen on this site
ClassyJacket··on Tesla's FSD – A Useless Technology Demo
But it's... out right now. You can literally use it today.
ClassyJacket··on H.264 Is Magic (2016)
I mean, it's obviously not relevant here, but technically there is also heat entropy, isn't there? It's not always information.
ClassyJacket··on How Alexa dropped the ball on being the top conversational system
The insane lack of basic heuristics in every day apps to do very obvious things like you mentioned baffles me. They can come up with huge scale fuzzy vector search AI suggestion systems for a billion users, but can't think to do stuff like, only suggest things available in your size?

I'm actually working on an app that solves this for a specific use case, tho it isn't in the retail space.

Voice assistants are particularly egregious - they've done all that work to correctly recognise the words I said - i.e. the hard part - but then it breaks because I said "set reminder" instead of "create reminder"??

ClassyJacket··on Elon Musk drops suit against OpenAI and Sam Altman
Please do show me where he explicitly invited child pornographers. Go ahead, link me to the specific place where he said that. I want to see what he said word for word.
ClassyJacket··on Gruen transfer
I always heard this explained simply as supermarkets putting milk at the back so you have to walk past a bunch of other stuff to get it.
ClassyJacket··on Apple unveils iOS 18 with new home screen & Control Center
Took them seventeen years to figure out the technology
ClassyJacket··on Apple unveils iOS 18 with new home screen & Control Center
How did it take them 17 years to figure out how to not shove icons into one corner??

The iPod wasn't 3500usd
ClassyJacket··on Detecting a PS2 Emulator: When 1*X does not equal X
That's so interesting, I'm surprised I never knew that.

Also the GBA went on to sell 81 million units. Pretty good evidence emulation doesn't kill consoles.

ClassyJacket··on PSA: How to keep using adblockers on Chrome and Chromium
What features?
ClassyJacket··on [dead]
I was the other one of the two people who played Halo 1 online. Alot of people don't even know the first game had online since it was PC only and not on the Xbox version. Great game, it had some huge maps. At least the sequels had a great run online, albeit on console.

ClassyJacket··on Google releases smart watch for kids
Don't worry, it may have been greenlit but it'll be cancelled and shut down next year
ClassyJacket··on Kino: Pro Video Camera
I'm totally fine with subscription apps, but the price has to be reasonable.

I'm not a video editor so I can't speak to that but here's one example:

Most calorie counting apps want ~16AUD a month from me. That's what Disney+ costs and they spend billions of dollars making content. It's 3$ more than Spotify charges and they have almost every song ever made. It doesn't have to be free, or even a one-off cost, but it has to be reasonable. I'd pay 4$ for calorie counting features. 16? No.

ClassyJacket··on How to focus on one things? I am so distracted, any tips would help
My only suggestion is to resist any possible temptation to use addictive stimulants for this, (unless legitimately prescribed of course, but even then they do carry risk and maybe shouldn't be the first thing you try). May seem to work at first but not worth it in the long run by far.
