History shows that there’s no such thing as late, as we are humans, there are always vacuum to fill if people take ownership for them. Rebels, inventors, thinkers, hackers. They all emerged in different times by taking ownership.

It is only the perception of this innovation that could change as times go on.

Re:Show HN: Book rewrite (reduction of 40-60%) service with LLMs on Saturday February 17, 2024 @09:26AM (#39409672)
On what cause does the model reduce content?
I talked with someone over an hour. It was great!
I talked with the one who build it over it, it’s great. He’s a very nice guy and we had a great conversation.

I if an hacker news inspired discord server would be a good idea.

For this case, let’s define the end of jobs, employment and hard work(=satisfaction?) as the doomsday;

If AI’s doomsday comes within a few years, there’s nothing much to do[0].

Assuming it’s not - we have a lot of work to do. Anyone can uniquely impact and contribute.

The jobs might slowly be replaced by an AI (like any tech), but it will create more jobs that require knowledge and flexibility.

A great read on focus: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25466764

Seems super cool. Although I’m using firefox. Did you thought about implementing it in firefox? Or sharing the codebase?

P.S: not quite sure on this one, but if there’s a way to rate limit withiut using email, (specifically in firefox?) it would be much better.

Good advertisement for beeper. Now we'll see if they're true.
I'm solely consuming EN content. And if it's from another country, it's only whats leaked by big media. It make me wonder how much good content could be translated.

Can I trace the location of an AS?

Kudos for grabbing the balls! I like your attitude towards life.
Re:Ask HN: Any interesting books you have read lately? on Friday August 25, 2023 @01:24PM (#37264471)
Down and out in Paris and London.

A thrilling memoir of a wanderer in the 20s of old’ cities.

It’s so refreshing to be reminded that history is still lying around us, waiting to be found. Waiting for the right folks.

It did feel like a big, stupid failure, but you’re right. Thanks for the words.

Im 18 yo, trying to understand this world and myself. I started a venture last year, which I was crazy about as my first. A few months didn’t pass by until I got noticed that my so-called friend so-called “partner” has been cheating me and frauding me. The product sucked and I seemed to be (unintentionally) screwing my customers.

I should have checked my partners more closely and also the product.

Looking back, I don’t understand it - but I stopped it then. Since then I’ve been fighting to start a promising venture with no success. Yet. It’s been a year and a half.

Nice and simple

What’s the point of ‘owning’ this piece?
I’m on mobile. Seems cool though I’d love to see something more than words..

So why don’t you educate them?

Maybe I'll be in Germany soon for a travel. I'd love to meet: [email protected]
Re:The Magic of Traveling Alone on Saturday March 18, 2023 @01:33PM (#35211210)
try it. but more important try to be active and do stuff you wouldn't do usually. you'd be at least surprised.

When It wasn't intuitive to me or for the other side, I used some sneaky ways/tricks: Asking them if they're from here? if yes - ask a favor. and then ask some other questions about related stuff... if no - "then where are you from?" "and what are you fucking doing here?"

complementing them - on anything.

Don't care. you'll never meet them again (if something goes wrong) so if you want something, ask for it. if you have something stupid to say, say it, it's better than nothing.

I did it at the train, bus, street, hostel.

it seems that everyone in their headphones and doesn't want to talk, but people actually like to discover, to learn, to joke. It's just a mask.

to be honest, within the second day. It was simply a matter of time and a bit of boldness.
Re:The Magic of Traveling Alone on Saturday March 18, 2023 @01:07PM (#35210908)
Very impressive! but I guess at that point it's time to make some friends for the long term isn't it?
