ada1981··on USDA locks barn door after Listeria escapes
This is more general in the sense of failing with MDMA and enabling the opioid crisis.
ada1981··on Blackmagic Debuts $30K 3D Camera for Capturing Video for Vision Pro
The coolest part about AVP is being able to look around in an immersive environment; this seems like it’s only going to give you 3D but not immersive correct?

You’ll turn your head and the image will just stay fixed in 3D in front of you?

Aren’t all The Men™ podcasters going on about receipts being endocrine disruptors?

So far so good. Fathom has been great.
ada1981··on Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far
I imaged an Alien species having a headline on the condition of our planet that read :

“Humans see little to no value in intelligence so far…”

I disagree about the summaries. I find them to be vey good and helpful.

I teach a high level course and each week have the transcript summarized for students; also get feedback on my lecture and help creating the lesson plan for the following week.

My father was Dean of one of the top teachers colleges in the world and has been blown away by how useful LLMs can be for education.

ada1981··on Fixing the Loading in Myst IV: Revelation
Trade offs for sure. Short term vs. long term impacts.

Having fully healed from so called bipolar, schizoaffective, anxiety and suicidal depression, I’m quite grateful I read the primary research and didn’t listen to the pharma-industrial complex.

Wild that things like dancing have proven to be more effective (and with no side effects) than SSRIs.

And sure, you can always tranquillized a horse, or you can take the time to learn to ride.

ada1981··on Fixing the Loading in Myst IV: Revelation
This was very impressive to read and while I don’t have the technical Knowledge to do this, it reminded me of “fixing” my mental health when Stanford Psychiatrists diagnosed me and said I’d be on pills the rest of my life, incurable.

Years later, after rebuilding my psyche from scratch, happy to report they were wrong.

But striking similarities, where the “professionals” just didn’t bother to solve a solvable problem.

ada1981··on Show HN: Novel Minds, an AI Book Producer
There is no description of what this is on the main page, I just see a list of books. I’d add something to explain what it is.

Also, can I just read them on your site?

ada1981··on Launch HN: Double (YC W24) – Index Investing with 0% Expense Ratios
I appreciate that.

The parent had skipped over responding and I wanted to voice that I too would be curious to know the answer.

Are you saying the best and only option is upvoting?

ada1981··on Bankruptcy judge rejects sale of Infowars to The Onion
I’m confused what you define a punishment as then.
ada1981··on Launch HN: Double (YC W24) – Index Investing with 0% Expense Ratios
Can someone honestly explain the downvotes for agreeing with a commenter that I’d like to understand how they handle the spread issue?
ada1981··on Judge Refuses to Allow Sale of Infowars to The Onion
I’d agree re bankruptcy but can you discern between your use of damages (which you say is not a punishment) and fines (which you say are a punishment?
ada1981··on Launch HN: Double (YC W24) – Index Investing with 0% Expense Ratios
I’d like an answer to this question as well.
ada1981··on Reverse engineering the Sega Channel game image file format
Curious if you could have recorded say, 5 minutes of the channel and they played it back when you wanted to load a game. Assuming new games every month, you could fit a years worth of games in a VHS?

ada1981··on Launch HN: Parsagon (YC W21) – AI for public affairs and government relations
We were just discussing this TODAY in our weekly AI Playground meetup; that someone will soon make something like this.

I’m curious if private ngos or companies can use it as well? Can we track policy and potential impacts on industry? Etc?

ada1981··on My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback
When I was 10 I released a HyperCard based app for the Macintosh that was a Virtual Journal program. Shareware. I got $2 checks from all around the world.
ada1981··on AI poetry is indistinguishable from human poetry and is rated more favorably
When I was given researcher access 4 years ago for OpenAI, one of the first things I did for fun was publish a book of Haiku entirely generated by AI.

I found many of the poems to be moving and beautiful.

Sam Altman has a few copies in his personal collection.

Nothing mind blowing by todays standards but four years ago this was a big deal.

ada1981··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2024)
‘The Unicorn Whisperer’ for Founders and Teams

Location: USA, currently based in MajikBus.co

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Open to the right opportunity

Technologies: • Founder coaching: emotional resilience, leadership, creativity, systems thinking • Integrative tools: AI, somatic practices, psychedelics, mindfulness • Startup ecosystems: scaling strategy, relational dynamics, and mental models

Résumé/CV: At age 8 in 1990, I created and sold my first software internationally, sparking a lifelong passion for innovation and problem-solving. Since then, I’ve earned a self-authored patent, been named one of the “Top 25 Bloggers Worldwide” by TIME/CNN, and been featured in hundreds of media outlets, including TechCrunch, Forbes, The New York Times, and Entrepreneur.

I’ve coached unicorn founders 1:1, including leaders of Asana, Bombas, and Summit Series, helping them master the inner game of leadership and build sustainable legacies.

I’m the author of The Inner Game of Ultimate Frisbee and founder of an AI research group that’s been innovating at the frontier of language models for the last four years. My background also includes work as an underground psychedelic therapist, featured on PBS, where I pioneered relational and transformative healing modalities.

Are you building something world-changing but need the clarity, focus, and emotional resilience to take it to the next level? I bring a mix of cutting-edge tools (AI, somatic practices, breathwork) and ancient wisdom to help founders unlock flow states, heal trauma, and build sustainable legacies. If you’re looking for someone who can integrate the hard edge of startup execution with the depth of spiritual and emotional transformation, let’s connect.

ada1981··on Kyawthuite is so rare it's only ever been found once
Despite all evidence to the contrary…

Seems there is plenty to be concerned about in Myanmar.

ada1981··on Kyawthuite is so rare it's only ever been found once
I thought this was a thread specific throw away account due to the “kyaw”.

You are pleased with the current situation in Myanmar? Do tell.
ada1981··on Ask HN: Can I download Torrent of a movie legally if I own the DVD/Blueray?
There is occasionally overlap, but as far as I can tell, that is just coincidence.

Have you been to LA?
ada1981··on Kyawthuite is so rare it's only ever been found once
As I said, it’s a shame.
ada1981··on Kyawthuite is so rare it's only ever been found once
>>The world's only known piece of kyawthuite is currently housed safely at the National History Museum of Los Angeles County.<<

A shame that it’s not housed in a museum of its native origin.

ada1981··on I have 100k of cloud credits to spend in the next 12 months – what do I build?
Is there a secondary market for cloud compute credits?

Start one and have some initial seed credits to sell so you have 1 side of the market.
