pdxandi··on Why isn't Titan classed? (2019)
Do you have a link to that other article by chance?
pdxandi··on Show HN: Next.js AI Chatbot Template by Vercel Labs
I think this looks nice and clean, and works well on my iPhone. Thank you for opening up your source code.

One note: I randomly receive “Internal Server Error” messages and it would be nice if my last prompt was stored when this happens. If I enter a message and receive an error, my last input is lost. I noticed this works the same on chat.openai.com as well. Just a suggestion.

pdxandi··on T-Mobile Breached, Again
Does that mean you keep changing your phone number with mew SIM cards? Or can/do you port it each time?
pdxandi··on Show HN: CheekyKeys – A Face-Controlled Keyboard
As someone who has the bad habit of lying in bed at night with my laptop on my chest and my hands tucked into the sheets reading and watching things, I think this is great!
pdxandi··on Toyota plug-in hybrids to offer 124-mile electric-only range
How do you know when to change the oil on a car like this? Is there a separate odometer that keeps track of how many miles are on the ICE? It seems possible you may never use the ICE, at least in our case, so how do you know how to maintain it?
pdxandi··on Show HN: The Coolest advancements in AI this week
I like this idea. On the website you say, “Discover the cutting-edge advancements in AI before anyone else.” How are you accessing this information before it is public? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying here?
pdxandi··on NPR cancels 4 podcasts amid major layoffs
Just watched that today. Well done piece. I love Frontline. May be my favorite show all around.
pdxandi··on Google Groups has been left to die
Just a note that 1988 was, gulp, 35 years ago.
pdxandi··on The Creepiest Cycling Condition: Shermer’s Neck
There are saddles you can buy to help with pinching. I personally use the ISM Adamo.
pdxandi··on Working in the software industry, circa 1989
Does caring about the quality actually mean the quality is good? Maybe it doesn’t even matter. If the team cares and they are satisfied with what the quality of what they are building, maybe that’s enough?
pdxandi··on Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?
Which one? “Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom” or “Ten Ways to Find Happiness and Meaning in Life”?
pdxandi··on Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?
Did you live out in the wilderness that whole time or travel around out of a backpack? The two are obviously very different so am curious your experience. I have had friends who have backpacked along the PCT, CDT, AT, etc. and they all returned different people.
pdxandi··on Private equity may be heading for a fall
What do you mean by commercial real estate detonating?
pdxandi··on Show HN: Prevent your computer sleeping with just a webpage
Are we seeing different sites when you click on the link? Because that is literally all the landing page says.

  This tiny site uses the Screen Wake Lock API to prevent your device from sleeping.
  
  Where this API isn't supported, an empty silent video is played to emulate this behaviour (using NoSleep.js).
pdxandi··on Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Feb 26, 2022
One notable difference is some of these Russian soldiers are conscripts and have been forced to fight.
pdxandi··on How Video Streaming Processing Works
I've been looking for something educational and introductory about like this for a while. Appreciate you folks at Mux putting this together.
pdxandi··on Tailwind CSS v3.0
Oh wow, that's pretty handy. I hadn't seen that before, either.
pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
If you did care enough to debate about it, that's okay.
pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
Why are you so offended?
pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
This just seems like a wholly childish comment. White and straight seem like good descriptions for teeth.

Why do you feel outraged by the conversation around improving technology to be more inclusive?

pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
Would it be a big deal to change it? I don’t mind calling my degree something else.
pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
> we’d probably be busy for a couple weeks

You would get paid to implement more descriptive systems. Sounds like a good deal to me.

pdxandi··on Gitlab default branch name changes to main
I personally prefer primary/secondary anyway.
pdxandi··on Deskreen – Turn any device with a web browser to a second computer screen
Are we being downvoted because it's not related?
pdxandi··on Deskreen – Turn any device with a web browser to a second computer screen
> with sway

This made me think, "Sway. Sway. Sway. Sway in the Morning."

Not sure how many hip hop fans there are here...

pdxandi··on An Invisible Tax on the Web: Video Codecs (2018)
Okay, thanks. Just got a chance to look it up and indeed, beginning with the Apple A9 processor, there are H.264 and H.265 hardware decoders.
pdxandi··on An Invisible Tax on the Web: Video Codecs (2018)
Just realized they were taking about encoding anyway. I’m not sure if that’s usually performed on the same chipset. I don’t know if iPhones have a dedicated chipset for H264, I would be a bit surprised. I could probably look it up later.
pdxandi··on An Invisible Tax on the Web: Video Codecs (2018)
Could that be in part because newer iPhones perform H264 decoding on the GPU?
pdxandi··on Amazon buys 11 Boeing 767s to expand its cargo fleet
The USPS delivers Priority Mail Express on Sundays.
