stbtrax··on I built a drone with only one motor [video]
It’s an entertainmening YouTube video not a phd thesis. Bizzare standard to hold him to
stbtrax··on NYC's "Click to Cancel" rule is now in effect
you're kinda cherry picking minor accomplishments here. There are things like the doordash settlement, public toilets, rent freeze, childcare funding that are unprecedented.
stbtrax··on FAANG Simulator
1 is not an option for a lot of us in geographically tied roles that are infrequently fully remote
stbtrax··on Show HN: Fata – Spaced repetition to fight skill rot from AI coding
do you have any tips or strategies on picking up c++ after a long break?
stbtrax··on Waymo Premier
More like want to avoid being in an enclosed space with mentally ill, people smoking meth, people that smell of petrified urine, with uncomfortably hot temperatures and crowding.
stbtrax··on Shift will clean homes for free to train future robots
I don't entirely doubt the landlord but the bizzarre part is the landlord showing up to take their trash and then somehow finding bundles of wires inside the unit. Why would an airbnb host enter the unit to take trash?
stbtrax··on Unfolder for Mac – A 3D model unfolding tool for creating papercraft
Hmm couldn't find any pictures of actual results from using this?
stbtrax··on I wanted to build vertical SaaS for pest control, so I took a technician job
bizarre take and writing style. if the saas enables them to be more efficient it's overall net positive
stbtrax··on The future of version control
how do you set that up? the default git tool version seems to be 3 pane
stbtrax··on OpenClaw is a security nightmare dressed up as a daydream
the whole obsequious nature of how LLMs also amp them up thinking they're onto something incredible is throwing gas on this dumpster fire.

"What a great idea! This will revolutionize linkedin commenting. Let's implement it together."

stbtrax··on Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB
What's the source of that voice then in training data? It sounds insanely close to her voice. Strange parallel to openAI denying they trained on Scarlet J's voice.
stbtrax··on Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB
Did they train this on @lauriewired's voice? The demo video sounds exactly like her at 0:18
stbtrax··on Show HN: Channel Surfer – Watch YouTube like it’s cable TV
I love it. This is so much better for finding random things to watch than the algo
stbtrax··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
yeah I don't have this issue with airpods pro. charge them maybe every other week and never had issues pairing. The case charge should last for ~30-40 hrs of listening. The auto switching between laptop and phone is pretty great too for taking calls or walking away and not having to fiddle around with repairing
stbtrax··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
you can put a time limit on it from when they start to submit. It's really the only way to solve high volume of unqualified applicants. So much time wasted talking to people who could barely code
stbtrax··on Maybe we can keep on coding? pseudo code project
feedback: your psuedo code example is just product requirements and not actual psuedo code. and I think if you wrote psuedo code it would just work as is without a skill
stbtrax··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
These glasses have a light when recording. You can buy many hidden recording glasses that are much more discrete with no light. Are you also paranoid when someone has their smartphone in their shirt pocket with the camera exposed?
stbtrax··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
this is like telling people who use smartphones to carry a laptop with a cell modem card
stbtrax··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
How does that even work? Do you ask before you go in whether they have devices? and do you not go around mobile phones with ai assistants?
stbtrax··on Waymo blocking ambulance during deadly Austin shooting
The 'smart' buckets kill about 40K a year, so there's that. No point in abandoning this
stbtrax··on Nearby Glasses
I use it all the time for this use case. It's great because your hands are free and you can remain an active participant in play/safety/feeding. I find I capture more moments that I'm more actively involved in vs passively holding the phone and framing the shot.
stbtrax··on Toyota’s hydrogen-powered Mirai has experienced rapid depreciation
still means nothing, what is the mileage or $/mi there?
stbtrax··on uBlock filter list to hide all YouTube Shorts
doesn’t work on iPad or iOS? Also not worth my time given how cheap it is
stbtrax··on Show HN: I made paperboat.website, a platform for friends and creativity
I guess? It's a little concerning when older men are fawning over a girl presenting her self as an overly young cutesey type. There's a reason the anime characters are always young girls and the audience older men
stbtrax··on Skip the Tips: A game to select "No Tip" but dark patterns try to stop you
yeah we all understand the basic premise. But it's applied completely unequally and you subsidizing their salary is keeping starbucks from paying them more. It creates unnecessary friction and decision fatigue for the consumer as well. Those farmworkers doing back breaking work to pick your berries? No tip.
stbtrax··on Show HN: I made paperboat.website, a platform for friends and creativity
is this innocuous or does it have hints of child abuse like the whole loli anime scene?
stbtrax··on Lessons learned shipping 500 units of my first hardware product
How did you figure out how to price your product?
stbtrax··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
I assume so to make sure that they're rendering at 60FPS
stbtrax··on LG UltraFine Evo 6K 32-inch Monitor Review
Debating a getting that proart to replace my 27" 4k. Do you find the productivity benefits to be meaningful? I'm wondering if I'll just end up making everything bigger and not benefiting or having to move my head too much
stbtrax··on Ford F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck and was then canceled for poor sales
I'm not sure how that adds to the conversation. Let's say North Korea puts out a really cool phone. Are you going to go: "yeah buying it supports a dictator who is brutal to his people but so does participating in a monetary system so nothing matters so it's okay"
