Yhippa

It seems to me that what you did _inside_ the social networks used to have a lot of value but now it seems like what you do _outside_ may be even more valuable to try to model users wants (product or otherwise). If everybody starts closing their doors I wonder if there will be a breakdown of the prediction abilities?

I guess every app and webpage is willing to sell your behavior to the highest bidder so it probably doesn't matter.

Just reading through the examples, the fluent API really shines.

Good ol' ports and adapters.

Off topic, but what do you think of your e-tron? Would you recommend?

I was sitting at a stoplight and looked over at the car next door and saw there was some video playing on the dashboard in front of the instrument cluster. I thought it was one of those completely digital dashboards that was doing some kind of animation, but the dude just propped his cell phone in front of it and was watching some kind of content.

At least he was stopped. I've seen people watching Netflix on their phones on a mount or something while driving. Unbelievable.

Did skeuomorphism go too far in the wrong direction? I think it's gone too far in the wrong direction. I don't mind my notes app resembling an actual notebook that I would use. Compare Notes.app to say, OneNote. Having floating text and iconography everywhere is disorienting. Bring back buttons (and in cars, too)!

Does anybody use Bard on the reg? I keep hearing about these updates and I try it, and it still seems way worse than ChatGPT's GPT-4 model. I've given this thing way more chances than I normally do. Feels like it's the Bing of generative AI for now.

Are they weirdly better off with these new bits of armor?

Maybe you might know. I assume most webpages and native apps are harvesting all data available that they can get their hands on that the users/OS will let them take and then selling that off to the highest bidder. Including information that is completely unrelated to the operation of the application.

Seems like you can make correlations with almost any type of data these days so I imagine even things that seem useless to capture could be valuable in the future.

This chain and this comment is one of the best things I've read on here in years. It reminded me that a lot of community colleges have workforce programs that I need to look into: https://www.nvcc.edu/academics/programs/index.html

"As a result of this, nothing will change for Henrique and I."

So strange putting this out in public. It's almost like it was entirely written to investors.

There are probably only 3 social networks I've gotten a lot of value from: YouTube, Reddit, and HN. HN has contributed massively to my career by exposing me to so many different ideas and concepts.

It actually filled a void that Slashdot left. Something happened around the time I started visiting HN more where ./ became this really weird echochamber and hot takes were abound. Believe it or not, it seems to me like HN is one of the few places where there is a lot of self-moderated and rational discourse.

I'm a big fan of this. Borrowed a Tesla Model Y and have test driven several EVs. It definitely takes some getting used to but I'm a convert now.

I never thought about it that way. Sounds like step functions could end up "spaghetti code on steroids" if you do it poorly.

They're going to take this little piece of convenience for me that I always use. Sad :-(

Yesterday I went to their website looking to hopefully rent a Cadillac LYRIQ to try out before buying and I was shocked to find that their website is stuck in the early 2000's. Unbelievable.

Should streamers be concerned? Or is this savings going to go to them?

We still don't know why.

Do you know if these ads are injected or if the authors are doing this? This is really gross.

Are there any good non-boated web browsers that are open sourced for macOS? With binaries available?

I cannot fathom a non-linear or even random decrease in range due to external factors while driving a vehicle. This is making me rethink getting an EV for my next car. I can only hope/assume this will get solved for in like 10 years.

That is a shame. I was looking at that SUV and 40F isn't too terribly cold around where I live. That stinks that it over halves the range of the PHEV.

> it basically will not charge at home

That actually sounds pretty bad to me, especially if that is my primary charging mechanism.

For another fun Eva partnership, check out the ROG x EVANGELION collection: https://rog.asus.com/microsite/ROGxEVANGELION and https://rog.asus.com/microsite/ROGxEVANGELION-02. I would love to have these, but I have daycare to pay for.

This would motivate me to use this app if I lived in Japan.

Didn't they turtlehead from the metaverse big time over the course of this year?

I have no data. All I know is personally, nobody I know uses it, nobody sends me links on it, and when I last visited it was all highly curated corporate or celebrity accounts. No thanks.

Me too. One of the few stories I go back to every year.

No problem. I submit it every so often because it's one of my favorite stories to read at this time of year. I love sci-fi short stories so much so if anybody has suggestions, I'm all ears!
