logtempo··on Wild orangutan seen healing his wound with a plant
Monkey see, monkey do, and orangutan think and understand. orangutan are quite smart and can associate ideas, communicate and share knowledge. They are considered as one of the most intelligent primate.

A shame they're critically endangered.

logtempo··on Show HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup called Factful with friends
I think you could provide good things to Wikipedia with your tool. For instance, I recently read that earth spinning make earth 10^7 kg heavier. While the principle is corrShow HN: I'm 16 and building an AI based startup c... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40222051ect (energy is mass), the source is really weak and it can easily be found that earth mass uncertainty is about 10^20 kg. Which make the whole point useless.

I challenged your AI on this thematic : "a spring weight heavier when compressed", or "earth spinning make it heavier". Both results tell me it's not true despite it being correct (E=mc2).

I admit I'm cherrypicking, because it does say croissant is not French. But can I trust it blindly? That's why you must provide sources. It's valuable to have sources when we talk about truth.

good job anyway, keep working on what you like

logtempo··on Full body scans for the people
thanks, I could not find this one but I was almost sure it was only a 3D photoscan of the body since they mostly talk about moles and skin.

The article is really hard to read if you don't care about storyselling...oops, storytelling.

it could be a service for local uses: you select an area and ask Google to render it. Could be even premium service hehe
logtempo··on Ask HN: Intellectual property rights if I open source a code tool?
to me, since the code have been produced before the contract, they don't hold the IP. I'm not a lawyer, I can be wrong.
logtempo··on Ask HN: Is it the industry or is it me?
The industry see your CV, your git repo and your portfolio, if you don't have a second call in 300 applications it means either you're talking to the wrong people regarding your profile, or your profile is not appealing and work need to be done.

I did an incomplete thesis on a niche research subject, traveled for month, switched to the industry now and even with that not so attractive profile from an industry POV, I was able to get second calls. But I'm not a dev, so maybe dev market is saturated idk.

edit: after looking at your CV, I can confirm that you could change some things such as:

- emphasize your projects, they are less promoted than your professional experiences yet they are more important!

- missing softskills, human ressources will look at it. Even basic things like "teamwork" or "dynamic" is worth to mention.

- ideally, every skills should appear inside a project too.

- Change or remove first sentence. change "always had passion", it's not true as you saiid in your post. Trade passion for motivation in any case. Add one where you say what you are looking for in your new job. Adapt it to the company eventually.

- Jobs details could be shorter as they are not related to the actual position you're looking for. Remember, only put usefull information.

- Do you have license driving? Also add your current location and mobility (obviously not in the public version)

I hope it will help you and that you'll land your first interview soon.

Using 200 photos taken with a conventional camera, at a refresh rate of 105 frames per second - the quality of video game images - the result gives the illusion of walking through the video. Better still, if you zoom in, you can see finer details, such as the spokes of a bicycle wheel, in excellent detail.

It use neural network techniques, but it's not strictly using NN.

it do the same result as Nerf from google in 30min, nvidia result in 7minute. It can achieve more than 100fps if you let it train longer.

logtempo··on Note Taking in Anki
I completly agree with this: taking notes is not a goal but a tool.

when taking notes in school, it is advised to keep some space on your paper to make questions and answers.

It would be perfect to have a note taking tool, with anki inside it that automatically take the question and the answer of let's say a paragraph. Could be even done fully automatically with LLM I believe, extracting essential information and turning it into a Q&A.

that's not what this chart is suggesting. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-energy-substitutio...
logtempo··on What can LLMs never do?
I think he mean that numbers less or equal than ten are written as words, and others are written as numbers.

Given the many reaponses, it would be fun to aee if llm beat humans on understanding the sentence ahah

logtempo··on A-BiRD uses Raspberry Pi to identify different species singing at the same time
now I have an other good reason to buy a raspberry pi or dive into ML. aarg. That's dope, even if analysis is done at home it's pleasing to see young people doing projects like that.

they are also better for industrial purpose if I remember correctly. And better from n ethical pov.
logtempo··on Lost opportunity: We could've started fighting climate change in 1971
The problem is systemic, it's not about knowing more or monitoring. It's finding an economic system that is both competitive compared to capitalism and market economy, and free of emissions. Which come down to not using oil and gas on one hand, and having health and goods on the other hand. And you can't get the second without using the first.

I do have issues to access from firefox, but I was able to read an email already received on my phone (on browser). They say Turkey is blocking proton services for the moment.

70% of workers worlwide will be put at risk with climate change. https://www.axios.com/2024/04/22/workers-excessive-heat-unit...

also let's not forget that there are animals too who suffer. And thy don't have AC, water bottle, or fridge to live.

logtempo··on When do we stop finding new music?
I think the same. And tbh, if music variations are finite, I'm quite sure it's big enough to fill my entire life with new song, sounds, arrangement, voices, lyrics...Also music is not only sound, but also performances.

logtempo··on Ask HN: What was an interesting project you started and finished over a weekend?
https://github.com/NotACoin/BLE_LED_strip

this one, took me little time to figure out how to use wireshark, get data, input command with my phone...eventually the voltage regulator died a day after for overcurrent or dead chip. But it was fun. I don't have the motivation to undead the device unfortunatly.

logtempo··on Ask HN: Why are there no public AI skin cancer detection models
Could be easily public founded...early detection is really important, and many people don't go to the dermatologist
logtempo··on Show HN: Craft Mind Maps that help you to structure your ideas effectively
Does it propose link between ideas, or new ideas/completions/suggestion/visualisation, or refactor "messy" mindmap?

I don't see a real advantage if its only "selling argument" is just proposing an initial structure that still need rework anyway.

logtempo··on Open Source Infrastructure must be a publicly funded service
Is'nt the (economic) problem of maintaining software an issue, independently of it being open source or closed?
logtempo··on Terraform makes carbon neutral natural gas
Methane leakage have been first estimated by the gas industry actors first. With no incentive to work on those leakage (no regulation) and a strong incentive to be "green" (it grant you money and good PR which is money), numbers can't be trusted.

That's why there are demands for regulations only after scientist looked over the shoulder of industrials. At the end, scientists often only look at things, the don't decide about regulations and economy.

Backing out would require a lot of courage, but not doing it put a serious threat to the efforts of keeping the climate change at a not-too-catastrophic level.

Talking about terraform, in 2011 in germany they did test renewable powered methane production via electrolysis and Sabatier process. I can't find any news about it, but it's exactly what terraform is doing.

Terraform claim to produce H2 at less than 2.5$/kg, but I find different numbers when looking at scientific publications (it's between 4.8-7.5$/kg).[0]

They also claim to produce from "air", but C02 capture is really poor and it's better to capture it from industrial plants. But anyway, it's not a big problem.

An other problem is the water cost of electrolysis.

logtempo··on Terraform makes carbon neutral natural gas
what kind of natural gas?
logtempo··on Terraform makes carbon neutral natural gas
I feel the same vibe too about this. If methane leak is an issue, H2 leakage will be a bigger issue. It's far more prone to leakage and far more corrosive.
