joloooo··on Launch HN: Muddy (YC S19) – Multiplayer browser for getting work done
I fear you're right. As a remote worker, I feel that more touchpoints and areas of collaboration can really nurture a better culture. Muddy feels like a good step in that direction. While my day-to-day experience with Office365 isn't horrible, it's this kind of innovation that I want to support.

This is awesome. What are your thoughts on Office365 tools and Muddy? We don't use Google docs and would love to have a similar experience. That said, I could probably manage certain teams to move away from our MSFT reliance with this flow.

Really excited to try this out and follow along.

joloooo··on Google Books Is Indexing AI-Generated Garbage
Yeah its great as a mirror. Simon Wardley's thread comes to mind. " Think of it like Myers Briggs or Astrology. Gibberish that is useful for self reflection. "

joloooo··on Can Demis Hassabis save Google?
Even if they're in a superior position from resources and talent, this feels like a case of innovators' dilemma with a hard shift of their existing business model and culture. It would almost make more sense for Alphabet to spin off an ML-centric company and focus growth there.

You're right. MBA's are immune from marketing or sales tactics. Don't tell Mckinsey.
joloooo··on Ask HN: How to onboard yourself to a new product/industry in a new job?
I'm assuming you're a member; what is the value you enjoy most from PMA? I've been on the fence.
joloooo··on Sul Ross Desk
That would be awesome to be there for that. Sadly Alpine is outside of the eclipse path.

It's a great city with a beautiful history. Sadly, over the past 10 years, it's been turned into a gentrified Wild West LARPing ground for Austin influencers. Housing has become egregious, and it has lost its local charm because of the influx of visitors. Most businesses are no longer locally owned.

Terlingua nearby is a vibe too. Sadly I do fear a spill over from Marfa might ruin Alpine.

Can you recommend any resources to learn more about this link?
joloooo··on Genie: Generative Interactive Environments
Looking forward to following your progress. I've been wanting to see how we might replace polygons for gaming long term, this seems like a step in the right direction.
joloooo··on Sora could ruin peoples lives
But I'm dead? So why does it matter?
joloooo··on Sora could ruin peoples lives
But what is art at its core? It's an individual expressing their thoughts, experiences, emotions, a direct connection to their brain. The importance is not the fidelity of yet another painted tree that looks like trees painted before it.

These kinds of tools are democratizing visual expression; with that, we should place even more importance on what is being told and expressed. In some ways I see it as a new form of writing. We're in our duchamp readymade era.

Thanks for sharing this! Was planning a Chile trip soon and will add it!
joloooo··on Dipping into the Most Stunning Hot Springs
Iceland's Landmannalaugar hot spring was also a great vibe. I highly recommend it if you get a chance!
joloooo··on Show HN: Improve cognitive focus in 1 minute
I enjoyed this version more. While less focus oriented it was more calming than the high-contrast dot. thanks for sharing!
joloooo··on Senator Wyden Letter Confirms NSA Is Buying US Persons' Data from Data Brokers
Hasn't this been accepted with things like the Five Eyes alliance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

If you're interested in rare books libgen (is) the place to look.

joloooo··on Why Would I Buy This Useless, Evil Thing?
Does it only operate by speaking to it? I don't want to talk to my fisher price calculator in public.

As others have suggested, this is novel, and ML in everything will be coming to products soon, but this isn't it.

joloooo··on Ask HN: How many of you are consciously downsizing your devices/going retro?
I'd love to get rid of my home automation assistants (google atm), but I do love having streaming music across the house without resorting to sonos. I enjoy photo frames and timers, but those are easily replaceable. Lighting is helpful, but my phone can handle most.

Anyone have a non invasive replacement for at home streaming to dumb speakers?

joloooo··on DaedalOS – Desktop environment in the browser
I agree, and am eager to see what comes with the next wave of OS. I think this was just nostalgic fun.
joloooo··on The fight between cataphiles and police in the Paris catacombs
There's a good couple of chapters on the catacombs in Robert Macfarlane's book The Underland (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53121631)
joloooo··on Writing games: A blog dedicated to text-based gaming
Slightly off topic, but would love for a blog like this to give insight into. With generative AI becoming more consistent (controlnet etc) and almost certainly faster in the not too distant future. Will we reach a point where MUDs / Text based games of the future are able to deliver dynamic nearly infinite personalized visuals or audio based on player actions?
joloooo··on Reflect – Multiplayer web app framework with game-style synchronization
Thanks for taking the time to answer! I've been trying to keep up with the rise of more collaborative tooling, so I appreciate the comparison. Will have to try out reflect sometime on a future project :)
joloooo··on Psytrance Guide
Thanks for all the new recs! Loving what I've heard so far. Ntogn is a vibe
