Why are the rounded edges for eg.: on MacBook Neo defined as small distance specs instead of a radius?

I'm not hosting any images, you can only select Unsplash hosted images :)

szemy2on Show HN: TinyCard – The TinyLetter of Greeting Cards

I'm also happy to talk through the process of how I built this.

Would it make sense to open source this?

If you find a bug or feature request happy to hear!!

szemy2on Show HN: TinyCard – A minimalistic & functional e-Card site, like tinyletter

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I've thought about making this more generic and not just about a gift :) I'll put it on my todo to update it.

Regarding the photo credit & expiration, I'll see how I can move it a bit more to the bottom.

szemy2on Show HN: Geo Racers – Race from London to Tokyo on a single bus pass

When I select a destination at a bus stop or train station the listings only show the specifics but not the city itself. This kind of defeats the whole purpose as its essentially randomly clicking around

szemy2on How I write code using Cursor

You can pass in @workspace before the prompt (in copilot chat) and it looks at the full context. It works OK, I could imaging Cursor being more powerful in this!

szemy2on Australia/Lord_Howe is the weirdest timezone

> With a “designator” time that doesn’t mean much

This might not 'mean much' to the computer, but it means a lot to the human. The computer uses it to communicate with the human and the humans between each other. When I arrange a meeting across timezones I will say CET 16.00 or ET3.00PM and they will understand it faster than saying how much offset we are from UCT.

szemy2on How I write code using Cursor

Can someone please elaborate how Cursor is different to Copilot?

szemy2on The Free Movie

This is great, similar to the Johnny Cash video! Although that had a bit better execution, users could submit however many they wanted and you could select multiple version of a frame.

Will the voices be dubbed by the community aswell? If not, how does this evade the copyright issue?

szemy2on Say Goodbye to Collapsed Metrics: Track Your Time-Series Predictions over Time

Hi HN,

We realised that tracking the performance of our predictions over time was crucial to choose, debug and fine-tune our forecasting model.

So we built Krisi (https://github.com/dream-faster/krisi) to help you with tracking metrics over time and generate informative reports.

We'll be here answering questions - would love to hear your feedback!

szemy2on See the future with Adaptive Machine Learning

Hi everyone, We have been dealing for a while with the underperformance of Time-Series Machine Learning models (mostly due to regime changes), and haven't found the right library to complete Adaptive Backtesting before the heat-death of the universe.

We ended up writing a library from scratch, that comes with an order of magnitude speed-up, called Fold.

--- This is the launch of our core engine so we would love to get some feedback on Fold (https://github.com/dream-faster/fold)! We’ll be here and happy to answer any questions.

szemy2on Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

Thank you for the detailed and practical comment! I think lot of your advice works well, after you have earned the space to tell the story with as much time as you need. One thing I struggle is how to not rush the story in a setting where conversation is fast paced.

szemy2on Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

This is solid advice! Which is often very hard to implement if someone doesn't know the mutual understanding of the world. I guess in this case know your audience works because it is your friends.

szemy2on Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

Super! Purchased it on amazon. Is this a hands-on book?

szemy2on Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

Really great advice! He is fantastic, I didn't know these resources exist!

szemy2on Ask HN: I'd like to learn how to tell stories better to friends

There is an ad-hoc property of group settings: for eg. one persons absence might completely change the energy and topics in a friend circle. So it is not always easy to resist rushing stories but giving some authority through presentation style so people listen.
