poniko··on The size of BYD's factory
DJI is already the worlds largest drone maker, better to let them continue then rebuild a car factory.
poniko··on The size of BYD's factory
The scale is just insane .. hard to comprehend a 3km/2mi wide factory.
poniko··on The 'Return to Office' Lies
Sounds like a correct action .. good on you, enjoy the extra time in your life, it's the real value.
poniko··on Ask HN: How often do you cry at work?
Never? I don't find designing/programming that saddening even though sometimes I just want to throw the computer out the window.
poniko··on X Out
Very nicely laid out words, enjoyed the read.
poniko··on Maybe Bluesky has "won"
Too early to call, the momentum must also become normal. I can see a future where threads is mainstream and bluesky attracts news/politics.
poniko··on Obesity Causation v2.0
Warning! Tin foil hat article that doesn't belong at HN.
poniko··on Twitter/X Will Use Your Posts for AI Training and There's No Opting Out
Cue the EU in 3,2,1 ...
poniko··on FacePoke – Upload a facial photo, click to adjust facial expressions
Are the supposed to be any controls?, pc/chrome its just a image and clicking on the face changes something random without any visual controls or feedback,
poniko··on So you can set an SVG circle's radius in CSS?
Weird I just googled this and ended up on that article like 40 minutes ago :)
poniko··on Can you tell if these are real or AI generated photos?
Hands are weird, both on the man as well as the lady on the bench.
poniko··on Ask HN: Why not verify users by making THEM send emails?
Because you loose high % of users on each hoop they need to go through. Removing friction is one of the major ux tasks. This solution would have 80% falloff if it's not something users really want and can't find anywhere else.

This is why 90+% of our users login with one click google, it's just too much to manually insert data.

poniko··on Show HN: The Most Beautiful Wallpapers
It's a trap!
poniko··on If AI is helping people code better, why aren't products getting better?
My experience with AI as a coding parter is yes, great at just doing boring things like take this list and give me an enum or add a form for this class etc .. but when I do anything remotly advanced it breaks apart, especially bad at dotnet where there are 25 years worth of history it source code from .. often it creates somthing that is long out of date, and jesus it tried to rewrite the same code ten times to solve a problem that was not supported by framework and could not be solved. So yea .. give it some years I guess. Still use it daily and I still need to fix Ai generated bugs ..
poniko··on Show HN: A tool to analyze Hacker News sentiment on any term in seconds
Nice idea, not sure it works though.. got neutral on all words I tried .. even beer

Ha, weird separation.. I build products, all day, design, write code, op and manage.
poniko··on The Narrative Clip (2014)
Founded by a friend of mine .. to early to market, similar ai powered product today would be the ms recall for your life.
poniko··on For years many mocked Musk for believing pure vision self-driving was possible
Isn't the mocking more about the stupid predictions he keep on giving surrounding fsd (and everything else).. heck if we wait long enough most everything is possible.
poniko··on Ask HN: Is it true that Google search prioritizes websites with Google Ads?
I do know a great deal of sites that rank higher without ads compared to compeditors that do have ads ... but anecdotes are worthless and the only one who can answer are the people at google search.
poniko··on GPT-4o
The responsiveness is a game charger, it just makes it so much more natural.
poniko··on GPT-4o
Damm, that was a big leap.
poniko··on Tesla is under a federal wire fraud probe for misleading investors
Might be, but sales was slowing down in both EU and ASIA in April when the other manufactures had upticks, seems like the Tesla brand is loosing its appeal. A bad q2 and a FSD no-show will probably spook even the most bullish investors.
poniko··on Tesla is under a federal wire fraud probe for misleading investors
Got a feeling that this August is the last chance Elon has to show off a working believable robotaxi/FSD or the hammer will fall hard on Tesla. There are too many viable options for both electic cars and personal robots out there now.
poniko··on How LLMs Work, Explained Without Math
It's really not though, generally maybe but you also give it a split second to think about if it's a good time to lie, make a joke or maybe just not reveal your name.
poniko··on Apple reportedly cuts Vision Pro production due to low demand
Surprised by the sharp drop in news and coverage I've seen online, it's a ghost just a few months after the release.
poniko··on Ask HN: Any calory-tracking app without the need for an account?
Tested a lot of apps but im sorry I have no account free single integer app recommendation. BUT I think lifesum is worth the account, the help scanning, tracking, history and so on is great to help keeping yourself on track.

poniko··on Stable Diffusion 3 API Now Available
Big jump in price per generation and now is in line with dall3. So is the model 20-30 times more gpu intense or did they decide to finally make money?
poniko··on Once again, California exceeds 100% of demand on its main grid with
A mix is the best solution, a stable baseline of nuclear is great for stabilizing the grid. Just get rid of the petrolium, coal and gas.
poniko··on Today, the first public reviews about the Humane AI Pin are available
It could have been a small touch button with a mic that connect to a app on your phone .

If that app then was part of your current ecosystem like gmail, callender, todo, messanger etc then it would fit neatly with the rest of your life and not create a entire new ecosystem outside everything you already have.

Step 2 could be a standalone device if anyone cared.
