jasondigitized··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
Insurance underwriters may make societal buy-in easier when rates are vastly different but that may take quite a while to hit critical mass so both drivers are self driven

This. Far too many people let their pessimism get in the way of possibilities and imagination.

Commuting to work for people who don't absolutely need to commute to work may be the biggest cargo cult of them all.
jasondigitized··on License plate reader searches should require a warrant
Good luck with this. These are used for auto insurance fraud and those guys that spend billions on TV ads will lobby hard against this.

Televisions are clearly an exception to this rule and I would like to know why.
jasondigitized··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
They will be incentivized to compete with open models whether those open models comes from China, Google or, likely in the future, the U.S. Government.

Why would code be a burden when LLMs are the worse they will ever be today?
jasondigitized··on LLMs reward expertise
Having a similar experience. Watching a muggle try to build a website with basic functionality, e.g. auth, database, etc. is an enlightening experience. They simply do not have the vocabulary to guide the LLM. My good friend calls me every night frustrated with his results, and when I watch what he is doing it's amazing what we take for granted being in the software industry. Don't get me started on the UX, that's even more mind boggling.

jasondigitized··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
Curious what the stack looks like. Are you doing all the heavy lifting yourself with WebRTC or using something like LiveKit?
jasondigitized··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
The trickest part of this, and maybe you have solved this is procuring phone numbers for clients. Twilio has put up a TON of friction on getting SMS numbers. I know this because we are doing this on behalf of some very large institutions. Love the idea though!
jasondigitized··on Apple's new SpeechAnalyzer API, benchmarked against Whisper and its predecessor
I am curious, what are the use cases people are using voice transcription for?
