I do not see how this could provide any value. Feels more like it prays on people’s insecurities

Used apple 2015 apple imac. I bought it to use as a second monitor because the retina displays is the only monitor I’d used for extended periods without my eyes aching. I did very little research, bought a used one to find out, nope you can’t hook it up as a second monitor and the hardware is awful

It’s incredible how much academic attention The Wire garnered. There were entire academic based conferences dedicated to discussing the show in the Uk. I was never really sure how much of this was warranted vs. just fandom for the show dressed up as productive work

There is a difference between processing an oat and the derivative ‘ingredients’ that are used to simulate the mouth feel of ‘ice cream’ - which includes a type of mold.

I agree the distinction is murky and can be easy to mock but at the end of the day something associated with these foods is making societies deeply sick and that should encourage us all to care about a solution. Even if you take a libertarian approach to diet, the economic cost of caring for a society with rampant obesity and diabetes impacts us all

Obesity and diabetes are western societies biggest health issues and the best research we have is a small n for a 4 week trial. Clearly there’s regulatory capture at play here.

Once we better understand what is driving the poor health outcomes we can work back and better classify problem foods and ingredients. Right now it’s all a bit unknown and doesn’t seem to have the right resourcing. There’s research that shows that UPFs are so simple that the body gets all the bad stuff in all its unfettered glory. Compare that to a date fruit, very high in sugar, but packed with fiber, the body metabolizes the date much more slowly, no sugar spike and gets some nutrition

Conversation about ‘players are the product’ of Pokémon go aside… What are some practical applications of an LGM?

Seems like navigation is ‘solved’? There’s already a lot of technology supporting permanence of virtual objects based on spatial mapping? Better AI generated animations?

I am sure there are a ton of innovations it could unlock…

I’ll check it out - so you think this had some noteworthy real world applications?

My thoughts exactly

The article is too dismissive of Chinese cheap EVs as a threat to Tesla and how tariffs might help Tesla.

Having said that it’s a good take, but after seeing how arbitrarily stocks rose in ‘21 I’m not too sure that rallies of household stocks are nothing more than emotional bets without any real strategy

Funnily enough the HN post 3 above this was also by the Guardian stating they will no longer post on X, and they are on a position where it won’t be an issue because they don’t rely on sensationalist content. No meaningful number of people are leaving America because of a Trump presidency - To devote an article about how host nations should react is laughable

Very surprised they are sunseting freevee- I always thought Fv was consumed by a different audience who consumed different content compared to the prime app

Reminds me of Granger causality, which had a lot of hype at the time, but not a lot of staying power. (I only read the main article, which was v. high level - not the scientific paper )

The ticketing market is out of control.

I would love to see the government break of ticket master.better innovation to avoid scalping by a company that does not benefit from i. The banning of reselling on platforms that sell the original tickets. Caps on fees

I’m a higher earner who loves music and rarely go to stadium size shows because the costs for anything is typically $500+. How does that make any sense?

Basic math tells you the margin on a stadium seat is huge.

Other factors to consider: More is spent on marketing and promotion than ever before, but the cost of digital marketing is a fraction of marketing costs decades ago - especially with the ability to target fans.

The market is willing to bear these higher costs because experience are more valuable to generations today than 20+ years ago.

Artists are also complicit to an extent but reasonably so. The market for paid music has collapsed, touring is how you generate revenue as a musician

I appreciate a good original perspective, but much of this seems over blown…

“Meanwhile, data scientists and statisticians who oftentimes lack engineering skills are now being pushed to write Python and “do AI,” often producing nothing more than unscalable Jupyter Notebooks”

Most data scientists are already well versed in python. There’s so many platforms emerging that abstract a lot of the infra required to build semi-scalable applications

I’ve worked extensively with ACR technology in an applied setting. Happy to answer any questions

It depends why you think hand gestures are bad. The wrist babd is detecting brain waves and allows for hand gestures while the hands are out of the field of view of the cameras.

I love this! The constraints it applies to selection + the tangible interaction gives children a sense of definitive knowledge and expectation.l and agency. Which are very good for development. Congrats, I love it!

‘Easy battery replacements’ is pretty subjective. This feels like one of those error that demonstrate how good the tech is, because it’s being used for very specific and subjective requests

It’s nice to see flourish get a second lease of life. The original product had genuine innovation and lot of potential and it felt like they were on to something with bringing the ability to tell data driven stories without being technical and learning D3, observable etc.

It seems like the data journalism and data viz hype has passed and to a degree was more of a passing trend.

I remember the cost being high and it felt out of touch for who the user would be and who would be advocating for its use within a company. The pricing strategy felt very out of touch with my reality (from what I remember)

Why did this get down voted so much? At all?

I’ll say this to everyone who is so quick to get out the government overreach brush.

I was on tik tok today. I was fed a post that used an AI audio clip of Trump calling republicans dumb and stupid.

People thought it was real. They comment and believe it. The clip has been reused hundreds of time to make new posts. It will reach millions. This is one example.

There is government meddling in social media. It’s not always ours. That’s the MORE concerning part

Congrats! I’m a big fan of the existing product and the are some great updates to make the app even more accessible and powerful

If you’ve ever been unjustly completely locked out of your finances for an extended period, it’s a bizarre experience and a wake up call. I once had a purely online bank ask me to prove my identity by mailing a copy of my passport.

The only issue was they were asking me to prove I was someone else (they sent an email to me, but referencing someone else’s name in the email).

They then locked me out because I didn’t respond fast enough and took that as suspicious activity.

When I tried to explain I couldn’t prove I was someone I was not, they tried to skirt the fact they had messed up.

Point being - banks need to protect our money, but banks make lots of silly mistakes that can ultimately harm the people they are trying to protect

I was really excited to read this, but I think the methodology is lacking. True art scenes are not defined by galleries, or fine art institutions, but people who occupy a space who do art. Which is totally different. it’s the low income individual who is a starving artist. It’s graffiti on the walls (wynwood Miami). I once lived in a shoddily converted warehouse with a bunch of artists, there were no galleries near us, there was a granite mill though.

Amen

Can you expand?

Its great that openAI is using this infraction as an opportunity to posture about how open they are and how they are a company that can tame evil applications of AI, while totally missing and not addressing the broader concern, what if this was run on a local instance?? How are we stopping / spotting and squatting that?!

Side note. This is some pretty terrible propaganda. The post about Kamala, immigrants and climate change barely makes any sense.

X just hosted trump for a live stream, who is being affected by a headline that reads ‘X censors trump tweet”.

Thanks for the explanation- I have a need for this!
