broooder··on Stuff Is Worse Now
Maybe we can bring back local manufacturing… ?
broooder··on NYC schools block ChatGPT, fearing negative impact on learning
This is hilarious. But they (teachers) deserve to get paid as much or more than us.
broooder··on Conversation history using OpenAI API
I was messing around with the Open AI Api today, embedding the conversation history in the request to OpenAI, so that text-davinci-003 can be aware of conversation context like chatGPT.

Something like: request_open_ai = "Previously we have said: #{@old_history_joined}. #{@prompt}"

broooder··on The deeper truth behind “Just Do It” – changing physical reality is easier
“Is there a deeper truth in Nike's famous adage of "Just Do It"?

The term mindset has become common in everyday use. There is a certain romance to the idea that if we can somehow just change our mindset everything will fall into place.”

This is a complete misinterpretation. It is a shoe company, they mean to do it, not mindset about it.

broooder··on Amazon packages burn in India, final stop in broken recycling system
I am trying to start a local 3D printing business, where a lot of basic parts or things people need can be made locally with Amazon style 2-day delivery. The order just goes to someone in your area who is certified to make stuff. I think this could massively help our global logistics and waste problems, and be a boon to local economies. https://HeyRobot.org Please get in touch if anyone is interested in joining in this project. I work on it nights and weekends… No VCs, just me and some friends coding.
broooder··on Launch HN: SimpleHash (YC W22) – API to query digital assets
Yeah let me know when this is possible!
broooder··on Launch HN: SimpleHash (YC W22) – API to query digital assets
Very cool!! Is there a way to search for 3D model types? Like STLs or GLB files? I am creating an API over at https://heyrobot.org for 3D models... mostly for 3D printing, but would be awesome to reference any 3D models on SimpleHash on HeyRobot, so people can view them in 3D.
broooder··on So You Want to Study Philosophy
I would just call it “reading” instead of “studying philosophy”

broooder··on Sundar Pichai warns of threats to internet freedom
Nothingburger IMHO could find the same article written in the ‘70s. Where’s my self driving car?

I broke the site 2 days ago by swapping my AWS key... fix coming soon. And I’m having a designer make new mocks for the site, will post before we start building!
broooder··on I just open sourced my music collaboration site
Thanks for the tips, I’m having a designer come up with some new mocks in the next week or so!
broooder··on I just open sourced my music collaboration site
It does allow uploading of anything you want in the attachments section.
broooder··on Ask HN: How close are we to 100% voice controlled UIs?
Seems like someone would just need to make all the correct shortcuts, or set of voice commands, I think the problem is reconfiguration and customization maybe?
broooder··on The patent troll that won a $308M jury trial against Apple
There may not be many, but there are some upsides. It may incentivize small inventors who believe there will be a value for their invention even if they themselves are not capable of productizing it. Shouldn’t they be rewarded by being able to sell their creation to the patent troll?
broooder··on Small, cheap spy satellites mean there’s no hiding place
Have you tried the caves?

Who is walker?
broooder··on US Air Force Will Reverse Engineer Some of Its B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
“... it remains unclear why it's having to happen. Perhaps the original blueprints are no longer available, or the manufacturing process of these components has altered or disappeared.”
broooder··on I’ve tracked every piece of clothing I’ve worn for three years
And there were zero, because who would wear the same clothes for 3 years.
broooder··on Toba Catastrophe Theory
>> According to the genetic bottleneck theory, between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, human populations sharply decreased to 3,000–10,000 surviving individuals.

Almost went extinct there

broooder··on An AI is livestreaming a never-ending bass solo on YouTube
It’s not that dank of a solo. But maybe I caught a bad section randomly. I prefer humans.
