Does the AI processing work fast or consume less resources on 4-5 years old laptops with 8GB RAM?
I miss the phones with physical QWERTY keypad buttons.
How about using a dedicated paper notebook to log everything that comes to your mind related to this illness?
And also, if the illness is somehow related to food/habits, more or less, then that could also be tracked - like what you're eating and how your body responded afterwards (I mean, within, let's say, 24 hours).
> The important thing to keep in mind is that there's no prompting needed, just upload the PDF and voila!
I'm sorry, noob here. I have a special book that I bought which I can open only inside the Kindle app (Windows/mobile). I have been meaning to screenshot the pages and convert them into a document/PDF. What do I have to do to make it fast? Just upload all the screenshots one by one and tell Mistral "Chat" to OCR them?
Zen browser - based on Firefox.
Brave browser - when things don't work on Zen/Firefox.
$20 for Claude on my personal email - fully reimbursed by my company.
Personal use is much greater than use for company purposes.
Entire public Meta suite of products are cancer to the society.
As soon as I realise it's a spam call, I just put myself on mute and let the spammer blabber himself/herself. They get frustrated and never call me again.
Is there a simple tool to download YouTube transcripts with speaker identification?
Plant fuckingmore trees. As many as one can imagine and then some more.
It satisfies my intellectual curiosity.
Plis, I can't stand low-value/unproductive discussions/trash talk that is omnipresent elsewhere.
I don't remember but probably it was StumbleUpon. Around 2012.
Step 1: Stop using Google. You can try Kagi for web search.

from the ask-hn dept.
This isn't for me but for my nephew. He is going to start his undergraduate studies in a few months, and I would like to suggest some to-dos, some not-to-dos, things to avoid, etc.With information at one's fingertips, I don't want him to watch a random YouTube video and fall down the rabbit hole of "trendy" things.For now, the only advice I gave him was to NOT use AI to write programs. Think on...

I skip if I realise or come to know it's an AI-generated text or image. Especially images.
Jack up your price and offer a 5% discount if they you in full upfront before starting the work.
What do you think of the Indian IT companies? Will they survive the AI onslaught? Where do you see them in the next five years?
Perhaps AI wrote the announcement.
This is very smart. Thank you for sharing this.
I am not a developer. Could you explain the process in a bit more detail? I want to build the same command. I only have the $20 subscription for Claude. Do I need to create a project and create a learning profile.md file and feed what I already know? And then what do I do?
Sorry if that's too many questions.
Non-tech guy here. How much RAM & CPU will it consume? I have 2 laptops - one with Windows 11 and another with Linux Mint.
Can it run on these two OS? How to install it in a simple way?
Either a typewriter or a paper notebook
I am on Android. Could you make the app on this platform too?
How about a webapp that runs in desktop/mobile browser?
Does the AI store & train on my voice?
