Why phone? This cuts out a lot of phones. Why not on a computer?

Hi HNI've just launched https://www.ChromebookFinder.com, a simple tool I built to help users find and compare Chromebooks without bouncing between 5+ tabs.As someone who's used and reviewed Chromebooks for years, I realized how frustrating it can be to compare different models — especially with all the variations in specs, release years, and vague model names. So I built ChromebookFinder to...

Re:What are some of the best application of LLMs in Agriculture? on Tuesday January 14, 2025 @01:52PM (#42701963)
Thanks, for your comments. Generative AI (LLMs) would have a real impact if and when they have better understanding of the physical world. Most of Africa still has less digital data, but lots of data points in the physical world which unfortunately can't be analyzed yet.

What are some of the best application of LLMs in Agriculture?

from the self-post dept.

We have seen a lot of buzz around LLMs such as ChatGPT. I live in Uganda where the economy is still vastly agricultural as it employs about 70% of the population. I have had a lot of questions from friends asking me the best application of AI/LLMs in their farms and I have not come up with any good answer yet. I have tried to take pictures of certain crops in my garden and asking ChatGPT for...

Hello HN, I want to monitize my web app. It's a website uptime, SSL and domain monitoring service sitemonki.com. It's been running for almost 2 years now on a free tier with a couple of hundred users. But I now wish to add premium package. However, being from Uganda, I am finding it challenging to accept payments on the App. I thought of Stripe or Paypal, but my country is not supported. Any...

Re:Open Location Code: An Open Source Standard for Addresses on Tuesday August 20, 2019 @06:18AM (#20745281)
This is why these technologies never get mass adoption; so many solutions duplicating themselves trying to solve the same thing. Fact is, most users would care less about numerous implementation, they need to be educated just one solution which works fine. Personally I find plus.codes from Google user-friendly. They are already integrated in Google Maps which has over 1 billion downloads. They are free and opensource which means they can be used in third-party apps. Why is someone is reinventing the wheel is beyond me.
Re:Pinebook: An Affordable 64-bit ARM based Open Source Notebook on Friday April 20, 2018 @10:36AM (#16885094)
Do people realize how game changing this laptop would be for students in developing countries like Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria? For $100 price tag on a useable laptop that you can run code or productivity apps, this is an absolute game changer. We have students at university going computer science without owning their own laptops! So this would really go a long way in bridging that divide. Kudo Pine64 team.
