dax_··on Artificial intelligence is losing hype
Do you perhaps have some resources on how you use AI assistants for coding (I'm assuming Github Copilot). I've been trying it for the past months, and frankly, it's barely helping me at all. 95% of the time the suggestions are just noise. Maybe as a fast typer it's less useful, I just wonder why my experience is so different than what others are saying. So maybe it's because I'm not using it right?
dax_··on Show HN: Simple Science – The Newest Science Explained Simply
Interesting idea, but I am hesitant to rely on AI to summarize cutting edge / highly specific research papers correctly for me, especially if I'm not a subject matter expert in that field and I can verify some of the information myself.
dax_··on Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
Yeah, this is exciting - I'd much rather have it as a plugin for Obsidian though! I have my workflow with that, all the features I need. Having some separate AI notes app isn't what I would like to use.
dax_··on Volkswagen Will Bring Back Physical Buttons in New Cars
I agree that there should be physical buttons, however in most of these cars you can use voice input for adjusting AC as well. I've been using that all the time, it works, and I don't have to take my eyes off the road.
dax_··on DRM-free e-books are a big deal (2019)
DRM on ebooks really shouldn't be a thing. It's easy enough to remove (fortunately), defeating the point of of it entirely. At the same time it's super annoying for legitimate customers, so much that I often ignore ebooks that use any kind of DRM.
dax_··on Ad-free Facebook, Instagram access planned for $14 per month in Europe
Judging from the article, it seems that the only reason for this is to shut down regulators with this argument: "You want us to stop tracking users? Users already have that option, it's a subscription". So I believe the pricing is intentionally outrageous, it's not really meant as a reasonable choice.
dax_··on Ask HN: How are so many fake ads allowed on YouTube?
uBlock Origin has the same requirement. Basically, to block ads on any website, it needs access to the data on any website. The wording of the permission is a bit weird maybe.
