Moosdijk··on Not OK Cupid – A story of poor email address validation
Don’t de email domains get blacklisted or are they valid?
Moosdijk··on Calibre 8.0 Release
I used addon kobo support with calibre previously. It looks like they incorporated their functionality into the main app.

Nice, but not game changing.

Moosdijk··on Pixel 9a: The latest A-series phone with Google AI smarts at an unbeatable value
Less.

If the AI features ran totally locally, it would be a different story but there’s no way I want features to be locked behind having coverage/a subscription etc.

Moosdijk··on Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking
Ik sure it can. Have you read why they call it the modernist kitchen?

It might mean something else than what you think it means.

Moosdijk··on Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking
by that definition, almost everything you do is mutually exclusive with everything you're not doing at that moment, which does not make sense.
Moosdijk··on Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking
What do you mean?
Moosdijk··on Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking
You're jumping to conclusions that aren't logical (at least not without you listing your assumptions that led to this post).

There's more science to food than just nutrition and health. Also, that you can make tasty and healthy food without the technology you mentioned, does not exclude the technology from having a place in a kitchen. Lastly, how do you objectively define "weird obsession". Can you give some examples of countries that do not share this "weird obsession"?

Moosdijk··on What will happen if you do an entire woodworking project using a VR headset? [video]
I want proper CAD tools in vr. It’s mostly organic or sub d stuff right now. I just want to parametric ally dimension in Vr like in solid works or fusion.

This would add so much

Moosdijk··on Phind 2: AI search with visual answers and multi-step reasoning
Since the homepage is a prompt to interact with the bot, I directed my questions about possible plans to it.

It said: "Up to 10 uses of best model per day"

When asked what one use means, it kept checking the docs and told me: "Each interaction with Phind's models counts as a usage".

When asked to clarify, it ultimately said: "I cannot confirm exactly whether this would count as your third usage today, as I don't have direct access to your usage statistics. To check your current daily usage count, you can visit your settings page at https://phind.com/settings. This will show you your exact usage count for the day and remaining available uses based on your subscription tier."

Since I'm not a user and am inquiring about details before subscribing, I had hoped the bot had some more information on that.

Moosdijk··on Electrical circuits encased in fluid may reshape data-center design
The article you linked gives plenty of other options.
Moosdijk··on AGI is far from inevitable
Okay. The keyword should have been “science fiction”
Moosdijk··on AGI is far from inevitable
The keyword being “just”.
Moosdijk··on HP bricking printers remotely if the client's credit card expires [video]
I think the tolerances are much finer in regular printers, leading to the fact that not anyone can create and tune their homebrew printer. Building and tuning a 3D printer requires much less precision, making it more suitable for open source (for everyone) usage.
Moosdijk··on OpenEnroth – Open reimplementation of the Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 game engine
This is great! Coincidentally, I was thinking: how great would it be to experience MM6 in VR? just yesterday!

MM6 was a big part of my childhood and its great to see a modern reimplementation of it. Maybe in the future I will see my dream of VR MM6 come true :)

Moosdijk··on Riffusion – Stable Diffusion fine-tuned to generate music
Wow this is awesome!
Moosdijk··on Let's order strange things from NIST
This is a really good way to spend tax dollars, actually.
Moosdijk··on Show HN: Browse HN Together in Three.js
The first thing another user did was go to 4chan. I think the concept is really cool but maybe it needs a little more thought.
Moosdijk··on Dell XPS 13 Plus developer edition: Now available with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
2 things:

1: No anti glare coating on the screen? 2: that touch pad looks really cool!

Moosdijk··on Edible insects role in transmission of parasitic diseases to humans (2019)
Do you have a source for such wild claims?
Moosdijk··on Building a panel out of e-ink electronic shelf labels
What a coincidence that this [1] popped up in my youtube feed today.

Moosdijk··on I Finally Found a Solid Debian Tablet: The Surface Go 2
You want an ipad it seems like.
Moosdijk··on How BART on the Golden Gate Bridge died: A new history
Why does the article take so long to explain what BART stands for? Even then, it assumes a lot of prior knowledge.

This is one of the reasons I tend to read the comments on articles more than the articles themselves.

Moosdijk··on Show HN: Lava lamp simulated by neural net in infinite loop
It does not do it convincingly. At least the gifs on github show blobs of lava disappearing mid rise.

It's nice work though.

Moosdijk··on Rijksmuseum to Stage the Largest Vermeer Exhibition in 2023
Be sure to check out the excellent restaurant in the rijksmuseum while you're there.
Moosdijk··on Show HN: WanderApp – Cast Harry Potter Spells with gyroscope data
Nice. We did the same for a uni project back in the day, but with a dedicated imu and an arduino uno.
Moosdijk··on Roku releases IDK to allow consumers to develop applications for their Roku
How many of those amazon/Google employees are working on their respective roku alternatives? Your numbers don't really mean anything. For instance, Google could just as well only allocate 10 people to the chrome cast project, turning your statement around.
Moosdijk··on I made my own garum
There's a whole list of possibilities when making garum. I've made 7 different ones made of different kinds of fish.

Loosening the definition of what a garum should be, people have been making garum from a lot of other ingredients such as mushrooms. Koji is usually listed as one of the ingredients, as it contains a lot of enzymes that do the same things as the fish' guts do.

I make mine a lot more simple though, just putting a jar in the heater cupboard. Perfect results every time.

Moosdijk··on Apple M1 Pro and Max Surprises
"Intel fans reacted predictably but a more reasoned, authoritative evaluation came from an unexpected source."

Oh come on.

Moosdijk··on Governments turn tables on ransomware gang REvil by pushing it offline
Look up the lazarus group, state hackers from North Korea. The way you seem to be thinking about war doesn't apply at all to the current situation.
Moosdijk··on Governments turn tables on ransomware gang REvil by pushing it offline
When a lot of culprits are state actors, stepping up enforcement is a naive and useless endeavour
