runeb··on Two-Thirds of U.S. Adults Would Rather Wait to Watch Movies on Streaming
I still love going to the movies, but I stay with my 40-seat local. Grab some popcorn, a cold can of beer or glass of wine and settle in. Always showing great, old classics too. Best cinema experience I’ve ever had.
runeb··on Why are most sofas so bad?
The irony here especially with furniture is that if you’re rich enough to buy real quality design pieces you’ll sell them for more than you bought them for when you’re ready to move on
runeb··on Why are most sofas so bad?
There should be a market for a Wirecutter type site for buy-it-for-life products
runeb··on Create More, Consume Less (2021)
Similarly, see the often massive personal libraries of authors, or the record collections of musicians. The best musicians I know also consume a staggering amount of music.
runeb··on Webb and Hubble confirm Universe's expansion rate
Their light is more red shifted the farther away they are. I'm no expert on this, but I believe in a constant-speed scenario they would have equal red shift no matter the distance
runeb··on You cannot simply publicly access private secure links, can you?
Unless its a recurring meeting
runeb··on OpenAI and Elon Musk
> It seems to me that OpenAI today is burning cash and that the funding model cannot reach the scale to seriously compete with Google (an 800B company). If you can't seriously compete but continue to do research in open, you might in fact be making things worse and helping them out “for free”, because any advances are fairly easy for them to copy and immediately incorporate, at scale.

It was a reasonable concern, funny that it turned out the other way with the transformer

runeb··on FCC rules AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal
This is also why you always call anyone you don’t know back on a listed number like the switchboard of the company they claim to be from if you think you need to engage with them
runeb··on FCC rules AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal
iPhones has a setting for this
runeb··on I looked through attacks in my access logs
That part is also automated
runeb··on Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel
You could call it a cinema!
runeb··on I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy
Amazon has a problem with counterfeit products and cooking with them in the very least should be a health concern and at the worst a hazard
runeb··on I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy
I have several times ordered what appeared to be genuine, but turned out to be counterfeit products from Amazon which made it very easy to stop using the platform all together. Not only due to a concern about the build quality, but also safety. Who wants to give their kids, or cook with, counterfeit products which may contain toxic or carcinogenic materials?
runeb··on Mechanical Watch (2022)
I wish I could buy an Apple Watch without screen, crown and button. Just a smart disc to record all my Health and activity data, worn under my wristwatch
runeb··on DoorDash raises minimum pay to $29.93 per hour in NYC
Without commenting on this topic in general, you appear to have a flaw in your reasoning. That a restaurant was added to Doordash does not prove that it never had the ability to deliver before that.
runeb··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
Not for everyone, it’s never worked on my tinnitus unfortunately
runeb··on FAA authorizes Zipline to deliver commercial packages using drones
Their complaint is that they feel the sky will be filled with drones. And those stipulations do not address their concern in my view.
runeb··on Driverless Cruise car collides with SF fire truck, injuring passenger
I believe you. A Cruise car went out of turn at a stop sign in SF and almost hit my car. Folks do too, but if these AVs are just as bad as human drivers, what is the point?
runeb··on S.F. says incidents by Cruise, Waymo driverless taxis are ‘skyrocketing.’
I moved here from Europe and I am absolutely shocked at how reckless the drivers are. In the old country I think I saw a car run a red light once in 20 years of driving. Here is seems I see it every other day.
runeb··on Radioactive spill near Richland WA worse than expected
The article explains the spill
runeb··on Native JSON Output from GPT-4
I was thinking more as data for their product org
runeb··on Bay Area woman is on a crusade to prove Yelp reviews can’t be trusted
Google Maps ratings are so inflated that 4.1 is a one star, 4.5 is a five star and everything else is to be avoided in my experience
runeb··on Native JSON Output from GPT-4
The way openai implemented this is really clever, beyond how neat the plugin architecture is, as it lets them peek one layer inside your internal API surface and can infer what you intend to do with the LLM output. Collecting some good data here.
runeb··on Netflix Shareholders Vote to Reject Executive Pay Packages
And rent -- easily 2-4x in HCOL areas of US compared to Europe
runeb··on OpenAI Employee: GPT-4 has been static since March
> It's no coincidence the flat-fee service is visibly crippled, while per-request API users are not reporting any difference. (edited)

If the model (gpt4) is unchanged, but they tweaked their system prompt for it on the chat interface, this is what you would see.

runeb··on Update on Sharing
On iOS devices I’ve seen streaming services ask for location (Peacock or Paramount+, cannot remember which)
runeb··on Regent – Electric coastal travel
Also, related to sailing or boating near this craft, the noise level must be quite substantial. At least not comparable to passing other boats
runeb··on Noise is all around us
Agreed, dish stacking physically hurts! There is a fine balance though, as with hyperacusis wearing hearing protection can make the problem worse as your sensitivity to sound can increase. Also makes the tinnitus seem worse. I will admit to putting in my custom earplugs when I unload the dish washer, however.
runeb··on Noise is all around us
As someone with tinnitus and hyperacusis I think about this often. A bus or truck dumping its air brakes right next to you, incredibly loud sirens, squeaky breaks that pierce the soul. I feel fairly certain you could make the case that many sounds we have grown to just accept in society are in fact at dangerous decibel levels.
runeb··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Very nice project, thank you! As a european transplanted to the U.S I feel this challenge with score spoilers as well. Streaming services that do not offer hiding scores, or who even insist on leading with scores in their UI are now brands I actively avoid. Such a small simple UX detail leading to absolute shunning of a whole media company.
