This is fun, but what I think would be even more interesting and potentially actually useful would be to generate a word from multiple ideas — to help express complex ideas in one word. Like Frühstücksbrotübersättigung
KI – (Künstliche Intelligenz, Artificial Intelligence)
Philologen – (Philologists, scholars of language and linguistics)
Staun – (from staunen, to marvel or be astonished)
Verunsicherung – (a sense of uncertainty or unease)
I'm quite a big fan of this idea. There is a lot of local history that I suspect I'd never have learned about if some map like this didn't exist.
The one thing that would greatly streamline my own usage is a direct link to the Wikipedia page on the pin itself (without having to open the pin, wait for the modal, scroll to the Wikipedia link, then click through). I'm clicking around the local spots and opening the Wikipedia pages for the interesting locations in new tabs to read them all at once.
That example actually wasn't meant to be related to the hands/deformity algorithm-- it was meant to talk about the prompt alignment. Regardless, it does make sense for us to change up that image to avoid confusion!
Bad way to advertise your product. It's entirely reasonable to make the conclusion that your product only does one thing at a time, also that the team lacks attention to detail (for a product that's all about attention to detail)
Doesn't the new one have too few fingers now? Looks like a total of only 3 fingers. And the pointer finger looks like it's shaped like a thumb, huge and gross.
Since Scale.ai provides labeling services to the US Department of Defense, how do they address the issues presented in this article? Have their labelers go through government background checks? Provide labeling software but not the labor?
That’s because your data is stored locally, so special characters in the title = special characters in the filename, which isn’t possible. Small but very worthwhile tradeoff.
To be fair, this doesn't appear to be an official account (i.e. one that is affiliated with YC). Seems like a project by an unaffiliated developer that happened to grab a relevant Twitter username.
I wanted to link to an older comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714286) I made on this topic, because I keep on seeing this article. It's turned out to be one of my most upvoted comments on HN, to my genuine surprise.
Reproduction:
I keep on seeing this link pop up. Since no one is replying, I'd like to point out that I think the Wirecutter is actually in the right here. Another HN member did some investigation and found that Xdesk is stretching things: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22144078
In general, having been able to talk with some of the people there, I'm convinced that WC was focused first and foremost on truth-seeking and quality at this point in their life (pre-acquisition) — however, the consensus seems to have been that after the NYT acquired them, they started becoming more incentivized to grow revenue, and started to jump the shark.
An open-ended question for you @dang — why don't you think You and Your Research gets more attention from the HN community? It's a good talk by a highly reputable source, about having an impact with the work you do. I personally hold the talk in high regard, and I'd expect it to do well on HN, but it seems like that isn't the case.
> There are very famous quotes from Richard Hamming (see "You and Your Research") and Richard Feynman (see "Surely You're Joking!") about the importance of working on problems that seem trivial at first. Not only do they help you enjoy problem-solving for its own sake, but if you work on enough silly problems, then eventually the odds are good that you'll stumble upon something that other people will later think is really important.
seems to use it as advice not to work on the important problems in your field, but to go down rabbit holes doing frivolous research..
Oh I think it's well known and has gotten a lot of attention. In fact HN probably did a lot to expand awareness that it existed, since a lot of people here originally found out about it from PG's site. It's a bit of a puzzle why there weren't more comments on those old threads, but that's a different question.
You've got to be a good reader to begin with plus have an interest in research which there is plenty of interest.
Maybe once you get through the whole thing you have to be able to pick your jaw up off the keyboard to make a comment or there is no record of it happening?
I did this recently to start creating a public (but unlisted) developer log, à la Carmack .plan.
Obsidian has a community GitHub backup plugin, but you can also just manually push to a repo whenever you want to update the site. Then you can use that repo as a proto-CMS, and pull it in with, say, NextJS to create a static site. Anything with built in CI (Vercel, Netlify, GH Actions) should be able to detect the change to the CMS repo and rebuild your static site. Both steps are quite easy (took me under 10 minutes total).
That said, if you don’t need special control over your content/presentation, then you could alternatively just pay Obsidian $8 a month for their Publish feature.
