MH15··on Render Raises $50M Series B
What's the meaning behind the name "Render"? I've a background in graphics tech so to me render is rendering pixels, something that Render does not do.
MH15··on Johnny Decimal
The only relation was that I personally used to use Johnny decimal to group my different projects, but then moved to the git repo namespace setup and no longer had a need for Johnny decimal. They aren't really substitutes so I understand your confusion!
MH15··on Johnny Decimal
I've used this system for a few years in the past. It's definitely handy for some people, but it didn't fit my use case. I now store all important documents/photos/backups in the cloud and consider the computer to be basically throwaway.

One organizational system many programmers may appreciate is keeping your git/GitHub repos in the same place, under `.../g/<username>/<reponame>`. Huge fan of this method.

MH15··on Ask HN: Do you want what I'm making?
This seems really useful but I'm curious if you've given any thought to bidirectional workflows. A tool like this where the "killer feature" is exporting will be made by the export flow. Imagine if a user could import existing components into this tool, and if your app was integrated into the tooling already used for version control, etc.
MH15··on Palantir CEO Rejects Calls to Pause AI Development
Who considers it an AI stock and why was this compulsory to mention?
MH15··on Show HN: Leaked system prompts (e.g.: GitHub-copilot chat, Microsoft-Bing chat)
How can the OpenAI one be this short? Is it all in the RLHF?
MH15··on Ask HN: Has anyone tried to design a 3D UI for a text editor/word processor?
I'm very interested in this. There's been nifty advances in node based programming in places like Unreal Blueprints and CG tools like Blender/Nuke. Outside of specialized environments nodes haven't caught on (you can build entire programs in software like Simulink but). Curious if 3D structured editing could be a new way of doing things.
MH15··on Canada will reach 40M population by the end of this year
The California of the north.
MH15··on Apple Reveals 'Vision Pro' Headset
Battery pack on your hip.
MH15··on Show HN: My structured editor for my language [video]
Would be interested in more information about the runtime.
MH15··on Zig is hard but worth it
Huh I've never seen this approach. Very interesting solution, could be adapted to the JavaScript matrix libraries I bet.
MH15··on Show HN: fastgron: A JSON to GRON Converter That's 40 Times Faster Than Gron
First I'm hearing of gron, this is very cool. Great work!
MH15··on Tesla Model Y overtakes Corolla to be world’s best-selling car in 2023
Funny that now they have the Rav4 Prime, which by some metrics is a top contender in the plugin-hybrid space.
MH15··on Ask HN: Product Hunt launch tips for a Web3 software?
Don’t? Might be a struggle now compared to a year ago during peak hype.
MH15··on Noise is all around us
Anecdotally, I live in a large apartment building in car-centric Southern California, and individual cars driving into the parking garage outside my window don’t disturb me (I like to sleep with the windows open). It’s the larger work vehicles that are the problem. The engines in big trucks (moving vans, trash trucks, construction equipment) are not tuned how personal autos are, for a variety of reasons.
MH15··on How to quit cars
The area around Ohio State leading towards downtown (the “Short North”) is a really nice and walkable area. It’s a shame that most Columbus residents have to drive to experience it.
MH15··on Pixel Tablet
I believe they did mean "undocked" so if the tablet is in the other room the dock could operate as a Google Home independently.
MH15··on How are you folks using ChatGPT in your daily life(except work)?
I'd love to see some examples of this, these sound quite fun.
MH15··on Show HN: Skyname – the first Bluesky username registrar
You are in fact hijacking the back button, at least in Chrome on MacOS. Not saying it was intentional, but please fix this.
MH15··on Ask HN: Which product have you purchased that increased your wellbeing?
That's correct. The built-in functionality is relatively primitive, but it's been enough for me so far. I do know people who use the Apple Watch with more advanced third-party apps but haven't had the need yet.
MH15··on On Having Enough Socks (2019)
Exactly. A few months ago I threw out all non-specialty socks (I kept some boot/dress socks) and bought a few dozen pairs of the same sock. Keep them all in the same bin, don't have to fold or match socks ever again. One of the highest-alpha changes I've made.
MH15··on Ask HN: What tech is under the radar with all attention on ChatGPT etc.?
I'm really interested to see how they differentiate their headset from HoloLens. Exciting stuff.
MH15··on Ask HN: Bypassing GPT-4 8k tokens limit
Interesting question and quality answers, but I was under the impression that specific technical Q and A posts aren't for HN. This seems like a question better suited for StackOverflow or a forum dedicated to AI engineering.
MH15··on Geoffrey Hinton leaves Google and warns of danger ahead
See the LLM demo from Palantir the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEM5qz__HOU
MH15··on Ask HN: Which product have you purchased that increased your wellbeing?
Apple Watch. Any watch with sleep and workout tracking would do (Garmin, Fitbit, etc). I primarily purchased the watch to help track my sleep and was shocked by just how bad my sleep habits were. I've improved my sleep patterns, increasing my average time asleep from 6:30 to 7:30 in two months.

A few added bonuses: the app I use for weightlifting (https://www.hevyapp.com/) has an Apple Watch mode, freeing me from my phone during workouts. I can also use the watch to track runs, as mentioned by the commenter in this thread with the Garmin Watch.

MH15··on Deadly heat threatens the well-being of 1B people in India
The first chapter of his book (covering the heat wave) is incredibly chilling. The rest of the book is quite meh and not very good.
MH15··on Even Apple employees hate Siri and are skeptical of its future, new report says
Siri recently started mispronouncing simple words that it never mistook before on my iPhone. Phrases like "It's 65 degrees outside" now sound like "It ess 65". Really odd.
MH15··on Ask HN: We are building an analytics tool for ChatGPT plugin. Would you use it?
This isn't the place for product announcements like this. If you'd like to share your service, submit it to "Show HN".
MH15··on Bed Bath and Beyond files for bankruptcy
I agree with this assessment but not on the Target conclusion. I'm sure it's quite dependent on the neighborhood but both the Targets by me are always busy and often packed.
MH15··on Ask HN: What is the state of the art for visual React design?
This is cool! Could use some examples of prompts.
