maddynator··on Show HN: I made a competitive debating game(like chess.com but for debating)
I really like it. How did you create rooms for playing with friends? Did you use a specific tech or open source library?

I am trying to implement the same for a game I am building but have no idea how to go about doing it.

Thanks in advance

Why not buy an 85” tv? They are dirt cheap and you can place them far. For webcam, I have used my dslr in the past but any webcam works as now Google meet autozooms in on the face
maddynator··on Ask HN: Is it wrong not wanting career progression beyond senior?
From company pov, yes. Because they want people who are driven to get to next stage.

From individual pov, no. Because everyone a different priorities in life.

Goal is to find the company where their expectation meets your priorities.

maddynator··on Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024?
yeah I thought about it but then it defeated the purpose of comments i.e. engagement and perspective of reader. Substack does a good job at it
maddynator··on Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024?
I use substack thinkingthrough.substack.com

I have hosted many in the past. Self hosted, wordpress, and a php version (I forgot what it was called)

The biggest problem with all those was dealing in spam comments and bad cross links.

Then I tried medium but it didn’t use to share subscriber emails.

Ended up migrating to Substack and been very happy with it for past 3 years

yeah thats correct. I meant this one https://voicebox.metademolab.com/
maddynator··on Show HN: Affordable text-to-speech for long-form content
I looked into this problem a while back and haven’t looked at since.

The base ai model sounded like whisper ai from meta. Did you train the voice yourself or is it one of defaults?

I am always curious as to what copyright issues products like this run into. Also whats the stack like to build something like this?

maddynator··on How Might We Learn?
Does anyone know what tech stack is used to align the audio with the text? How does specific section gets highlighted when the video reaches that mark and vice versa on how the video jumps to location where the text is clicked?
maddynator··on Ask HN: How do you learn and research every day?
I have started using chatgpt with assistance on research and now I am able to go down rabbit holes faster and further on a topic i am researching.

The full technique is written on this post https://thinkingthrough.substack.com/p/going-down-the-rabbit...

tl;dr

“In my ChatGPT custom instructions, I have instructed ChatGPT to “Give me 2-4 follow-up questions that I can ask on the topic” (⬅ copy-paste that into your prompt ). And the results are marvelous.”

maddynator··on Ask HN: Good tools to block websites/apps to focus?
My go-to macos app is https://selfcontrolapp.com/ I blocks websites but not apps.

If you are talking about native apps, then I am not sure. One thing I did was delete Slack app and logged in via slack-web. Then you can close the tab.

maddynator··on Does Market Timing Work?
While I agree with the general principle of the post, I am skeptical of the fact that schwab published it. If it was done third party research, I would trust it more.

(Internet has made me skeptical)

However, the only incentive I can think of schwab is to encourage people to invest ASAP they have cash so schwab can get that money in their system so they can charge fees/still services.

But that’s just normal business
