creativenolo··on NotebookLlama: An open source version of NotebookLM
It doesn’t look that useful to use as it. But the approach there are investigating is clearly and well documented in plain text. Seems like a valid contribution to public knowledge to be grateful for, even if it can’t be use verbatim.
creativenolo··on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the Fediverse
The success of TikTok was to use an interest graph rather than a social graph. The article doesn’t suggest Loops would use a interest graph but does mention a volunteer moderation of content: which gives the impression it wouldn’t scale to unlimited content about unique interest categories.
creativenolo··on Facial recognition glasses turn everyday life into creepy privacy nightmare
They are two related and valid problems.

In the UK, speed cameras are painted bright yellow.

These are Raybans - designed for social dynamics - with the addition of a concealed camera.

Both are “any camera” that can dig out realtime information about people. Not this comment per se, but the lack of critical thinking in comments here on topics like this is frightening. Especially given this is where you’d hope to find the discussion, and likely contains many people steering this technology and change. And to be honest, my critical thinking ain’t that sharp but I can see something interesting beyond its any camera.

creativenolo··on ST Book, the Notebook Atari ST
At least with his Atari, he didn’t need a PIN number
creativenolo··on Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
I was going to comment about this. Worked at a place that had a “Robotics Department”, wow I thought. Only to find out it was automating arcane software.

UI is now much more accessible as API. I hope we don’t start seeing captcha like behaviour in desktop or web software.

creativenolo··on First images from Euclid are in
Given the timescales involved and brevity planetary conditions perhaps life is unlikely to observed nearby a star system.

Perhaps instead it is to be observed in energy preserving vessels (i.e. emit nothing) in transit to the next fuel stop (a planetary system). Perhaps dark matter can be explained by the congested highway of these unobservable vessels.

creativenolo··on AI engineers claim new algorithm reduces AI power consumption by 95%
Simple question: if true, would power consumption stay at 100% because we’d work the algorithm harder?

I had assumed the latency etc were based on what was desirable for the use case and hardware, rather than power consumption.

creativenolo··on Bumblebee queens choose to hibernate in pesticide-contaminated soil
The would be the evolution cause and effect
creativenolo··on Secret 3D scans in the French Supreme Court
The British museums license at least is creative commons non-commercial which would likely prevent them being used as something insignificant like easter egg as a license would need to be acquired.
creativenolo··on The science of "Zoom fatigue"
Valid point. But dyslexia doesn’t exclusively mean cant read well/quickly.
creativenolo··on Show HN: MynaUI Icons – 1180 Beautifully Crafted Open Source Icons
I’d love it if the browser had the ability to suggest similar icons. I used an internal library that had this and it was super useful and often led to a better visual to express an idea.
creativenolo··on Dell's sudden 5-day RTO order leaves parents scrambling to find childcare
Personal experience.
creativenolo··on Dell's sudden 5-day RTO order leaves parents scrambling to find childcare
I couldn’t find any mention of employees doing full-time childcare in the article. But I suspect you don’t really understand the issues. If you need an extra hour childcare because of your commute you are unlikely to find childcare that covers that one hour only and works around you. You most likely need to find afternoon/early evening cover. Good luck.

Also, you can work from home distraction free whilst ensuring the kids are not killing themselves. But you can’t just leave them at home incase they kill themselves. They call that neglect.

Be glad you don’t have to sort out childcare or deal with people thinking you “weren’t really working”.

creativenolo··on Finish Your Projects
Oh, cool. I am too conditioned to assume no timezone means assumed to be US timeszones. Could be worth clarifying.
creativenolo··on What is the history of the use of "foo" and "bar" in source code examples? (2012)
Is it not foo() and bar()? MyVariable and… ?
creativenolo··on I made a game you can play without anyone knowing (no visuals/sound)
My kids play a game where they clap a rhythm and the next person has to clap the rhythm back _unless_ they clap to the rhythm of ‘try not clap this back’. Not tried your game yet… but wonder if this could be included.
creativenolo··on Is the world really running out of sand?
The transcript is a pleasure to read. A familiar style to hear but not read. I can’t think of reading something written in the style of a YouTuber before but it is a animated read.
creativenolo··on Gavin Newsom vetoes SB 1047
I wish Hooli wouldn’t
creativenolo··on Finish Your Projects
This is real neat.

I see you ask about timezone in the form, but it would be great to address expectations around timezone in ‘questions you may have’.

creativenolo··on Google Illuminate: Books and papers turned into audio
I’m not sure “hear scientific papers as narrated audio” best describes what this is. From the link:

> Illuminate generates audio with two AI-generated voices in conversation, discussing the key points of select papers.

creativenolo··on Researchers find Alzheimer's-like brain changes in long Covid patients
It’s not ill intent to have your article seen by as many people as possible. I find it hard to believe they have never considered there is an added benefit to publishing, on a world wide medium, the term UK.
creativenolo··on Asking the wrong questions (2017)
The lenses that we view the questions also change. In the 1950s, people likely imagined that by the 2020s, roads would be rebuilt with technologies like magnets or rails to support self-driving cars. But they didn’t anticipate the inertia in infrastructure development. Our roads remain largely the same, and this stagnation is what we need to band aid with for autonomous vehicles today.
creativenolo··on Researchers find Alzheimer's-like brain changes in long Covid patients
It is not clear from your comment why always doing it would not be clickbait-like. I am sure even the majority of Americans would assume that when the letters “UK” are used in isolation, it would mean the country and not a state university.

But only for organisation and enterprise plans!

creativenolo··on Show HN: Revideo – Create Videos with Code
This looks like lots of fun.

I’ve only skimmed the docs and nothing jumped out on this: would it be possible to use a 3d canvas context? For example, integrate a dynamic three.js layer/asset into the video?

creativenolo··on Super Heavy landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico [video]
Yeah. The way the bouy comes into view adds to the theatre of it.
creativenolo··on Super Heavy landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico [video]
It wasn’t actually a criticism. I am commenting on the aesthetic.

Clearly touched some nerves.
