While crass, I’m likely going to think about your comment for a long time as someone who typically doesn’t enjoy surface-level interactions or doesn’t enjoy engaging with people who I know the relationship will never move from acquaintance/coworker levels.

Your comment will likely make me leave my AirPods in their charging case more as I go about my day to day activities, or at least think about using them more intentionally than I do now, which is having them in basically 24/7.

Like another poster mentioned, I use Orion on my iPad with ublock origin installed as an extension. It’s a really great browser, only a few bugs here and there.

I agree. Reading through this seems like a long winded way of putting off telling some random person on LinkedIn to bugger off. If there’s a supposed licensing issue, send a legal letter, not a LinkedIn message. Big waste of time for everyone involved

A wild and mostly poor take. I understand the guidelines requiring more substantive posts, but I believe the overwhelming examples of detrimental companies are self evident.

New comment by Hnaomyiph in "Evidence that LLMs are reaching a point of diminishing returns"

Hnaomyiph — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 22:04:13 +0000

Oroborus issues were seen from 100k miles away. LLMs were bound to run into issues immediately based on training data. If I weren’t substantially poor I’d put all my savings into puts of LL ‘S like ChatGPT, and others. I cannot risk burning substantials of my own time to offset the burnage those themselves are creating.

Good luck y’all. I’d say I’m hope I’m right but you’re on a ship sunk by glacial ice that is hoping for a lifeboat off. Good fucking luck, you have no time to pivot.

If you need to send larger files via link, another hn user created https://www.relaysecret.com/ I use the tunnel service for the most part at https://www.relaysecret.com/tunnel It’s open source and you can host your own instance of it! https://github.com/santrancisco/relaysecret When Firefox send shut down I was looking for a good alternative and never really found sharedrop fit my needs.

Seems like a good avenue for parking protests. All you need is a small buzz for people to never trust the app-based systems.

And for a large portion of their routes are already overpriced and less convenient than almost any other means of travel (except for a handful of actually reasonably-priced routes. A local route on Amtrak costs almost $100 for a one way ticket traveling <200mi A bus ticket for the same route is $30. The bus takes an hour longer. I want amtrak to thrive, but they need to attract customers, not drive more away with higher prices.

New comment by Hnaomyiph in "Loneliness is stronger when not alone"

Hnaomyiph — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 17:43:39 +0000

Yeah, I’ve noticed this recently. As I spend more time with my current friend group in the new city I live in, the worse I feel because it seems like we’re just surface level friends, whereas when I spend time with my friends back home it greatly lifts my spirits because it’s a genuine connection.

It’s a an extremely odd feeling because from the outside I’m sure it looks like I have a great social life and good friends, but I’ve never felt more alone in my life. And I’m not sure how to address this conundrum, on one hand I want a stronger friendship with this new group of friends and don’t want to be alone, but at the same time it seems as if I would be happier if I disconnected myself from the group and was actually alone.

New comment by Hnaomyiph in "Why Does Google Kill So Many Products?"

I don’t agree with their, or any company’s search for a second money printing machine. I don’t think companies should strive for parabolic growth, it is inherently unsustainable in almost ever imaginable facet, but that is what the market seems to want/expect, which then drives companies to their own downfall and they desperately try to cling onto the same growth they’ve seen in previous years.

Greed is the ultimate killer of innovation and sustainable business practices. But the board/c-suite doesn’t care unless it’s the one holding the bag at the end.

Promotions being highly dependent on shipping new products rather than long term support of existing products. You don’t climb that type-a ladder by improving the code of the 30th chat app.

Their desperate desire to find another money printing machine to replace their soon to be regulated to death ads monopoly. If it’s not instantly printing money, they don’t want to continue to support it.

Ruth and Sundar need to be fired or else Google/Alphabet will suffer the same exact fate as every other company that focuses on cost cutting over innovation and supporting future innovations.

I think it’s mainly because Pichai has the title of CEO and the real CEO is their CFO, Ruth Porat.

Tell HN: YouTube’s removing upload dates from videos

Hnaomyiph — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 17:44:59 +0000

This isn’t a recent change, but something I’ve noticed in the past 6+ months.

YouTube videos occasionally no longer show upload date and it’s becoming more frequent. There is no way I’ve found to access the upload date information through the YouTube UI.

I speculate this is to make use of their ever-growing and ever-aging content to make it seem more evergreen, but makes finding the newest, relevant information more difficult in certain areas.

Considering more people are reading these headlines than experiencing a round of google freebies for their shutdown, this is only going to work to limit consumer buy-in on whatever google decides it needs to do next.

Google is panically trying to find another unicorn, as it knows its current cash cow, ads, is holding almost all its eggs and could be facing its demise as online regulation only continues to strengthen.

Not to mention google’s perverse promotional incentives that ignore supporting products long term, focusing on launching new things instead.

Google, as it is right now, is a dying company. They need basically a complete overhaul, starting with firing the entire C-level, especially the true CEO, Ruth Porat.

New comment by Hnaomyiph in "The self-taught UI/UX designer roadmap (2021)"

Hnaomyiph — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 19:18:48 +0000

It's funny because I went to school for computer science, I grew up doing graphic design, and have a lot of experience having done a lot of work in both departments, but never a strict UI/UX role. When I tried to apply for UI/UX positions I either never heard back, or was told time and time again that I was lacking specific UI/UX experience.

Thought it was always funny, I guess hiring managers don't see the overlap the same way I do.

Super cool. I’ve been using it for the past 20 minutes and have been sending everyone I know a link to this post, but most people don’t seem to realize what it is!

It’s so rad to have a project like this so accessible through text.
