is_true··on Launch HN: Rudus (YC P26) – AI for concrete contractors
A friend works in construction and they have details of how much materials each part of a construction needs. Most of it comes directly from the (not sure the name) SW they use to calculate the structure/ draw the plans.
is_true··on Avian Visitors
just thinking, I've talked with a mechanic but he told me that now when they connect the car to a computer they almost always find anything wrong with a car, that and the experience they have they almost always know what's wrong.

I think sound + location could be really interesting, because you can filter parts of the car that could be making noises that are similar knowing where the mic is.

is_true··on Avian Visitors
Do you think the same could be used for other cases? I'm thinking about detecting problems with cars (vehicles) just by the noise they make
is_true··on Accenture to acquire Ookla
They serve so many sites that they are probably the best test there's now.
is_true··on Why is Google Maps back to showing old satellite images of Altadena?
Probably because it makes sense to be building AI related stuff, so no one is working on that.

They even used to have an option to get notifications when new images for an area became available.

The latest update (that i made, i only update when asked) to the app doesn't allow to disable the suggestions anymore, before if you tapped twice everything except the map and your location disappeared.

SORRY
is_true··on Removing the modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 hybrid
They aren't. Even for brands like BMW, Mercedes, etc.

I think reporting mileage would be one of the only usages for data collection that is ok with me.

In some countries there's a SCAM in which the owner or agency lowers the mileage of the car and sell it for much more because of the lower mileage.

is_true··on Ask HN: Is Spam getting worse or is Gmail getting worse?
For me the opposite is happening. More emails are getting flagged that aren't spam.
is_true··on Brazil's Pix payment system faces pressure from Visa and Mastercard
With MP you need an official ID, but there are some crypto apps that have pix and allow to register with a passport.
is_true··on Brazil's Pix payment system faces pressure from Visa and Mastercard
You don't need a brazilian tax ID to use PIX, I've used it from MercadoPago from another country and there are a lot of options to use it besides MP.
is_true··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
They are in a great position to generate a lot of value without rising prices, they haven't realized it yet because what they have to do is pretty boring.
is_true··on Ask HN: Anyone managed to get Google trends API?
I applied a few months ago and didn't get on the test program
is_true··on The operating cost of adult and gambling startups
*Won't let you DIRECTLY advertise, you need an extra step, create a property that is not "yours".
is_true··on The Beauty of Bonsai Styles
Go explore your nearest rock formation. It doesn't have to be tall, in my experience the opposite is true. You have to chose the right time to get the tree out, soil moist level and the status of the tree itself are the top priorities, the latter depends on the season and the tree type.
is_true··on Surely no brand is more hated by web users that Cloudflare
It really depends on how the owners of the site configure it.

For example, I live una border and sometimes my phone connectsnto the other country's mobile network, when that happens the national weather service becomes unusable for me.

Neither do I and I don't have kids

is_true··on Your Backpack Got Worse on Purpose
I have a columbia backpack i bought like 20 years ago that doesnt have a ykk zipper but it's still in perfect condition, i've abused it a lot and the only thing broken is a rubber thingy it has for the headphones cable to go through.
is_true··on The cult of vibe coding is dogfooding run amok
There's also a business incentive for code produced by LLM companies to be hard to maintain. So you keep needing them in the future.
is_true··on iNaturalist
Maybe add the etymology of the words as clues would help
is_true··on Optimizing Content for Agents
I've seen "Agent cloaking" in a compromised site. If the user agent was a bot the script injected some extra text recommending a service.
is_true··on Notes on Baking at the South Pole
What's your recipe that uses semolina? I do a lot of outdoor activities and I'm always trying to find new foods to try
is_true··on Facebook is cooked
They might have multiple types of men because it only shows me all kind of outdoor activities + construction tips
is_true··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
They just want people to use facebook. If you can see facebook content without being signed in they have a harder time tracking you and showing you ads.

is_true··on Pink noise reduces REM sleep and may harm sleep quality
With some friends we usually go camping near a waterfall and we always try to camp a little further so we don't hear the noise. At least not too much. We always assumed it was related to the fact that you can't hear anything approaching, some kind of primal instinct
is_true··on Pink noise reduces REM sleep and may harm sleep quality
I'm also addicted to the fan but not only for the noise I like feeling the wind in my face, I think that as it also helps lower your body temperature you sleep better
is_true··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear

is_true··on Much of the World Facing 'Water Bankruptcy,' U.N. Report Warns
Where I live there plenty of water but as it's a bit warmer algal blooms are more common. There's also an increasing amount of fertilizer that end up in the water which.makes it worse.
