Streaming Sites, Endless Content, IDK What to Watch

Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Youtube - This is what I circulate between, and between the four there is probably billions of hours of content to watch and yet at a certain point it's not enough. I find myself regularly looking for something new that is unwatched, maybe this is just me, but I doubt it. How do we value the content with such an abundance and what does it say for the ones that are...

AI Usage Typology – Fisherman

The type of AI user you are can vary, just like people. I recently stumbled on the Centaur vs. Cyborg debate, and it made me look in the mirror and ask myself: am I a Centaur or a Cyborg? I thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion. I'm a Fisherman. Let me explain.Take this with a grain of salt. It comes from my own hands-on experience using AI at work at an enterprise level. I find...

Thinking out loud AI and Cancer Cure

Anyone else ever think how every week there's another article and news story about how advanced AI is getting and how fast it's progressing, usually reported as a threat to society. If it is so alarmingly powerful, why has a super genius not OP'd on Opus 5.5 Max and discovered a cure for cancer or some horrible disease... I use my AI good for making dashboards and looking at spreadsheets, call...

I've used this stack for a few sites now and it just works. Everything is user friendly, cheap to run, and deploys are painless. My favorite passion project is built on it and I can't recommend the combo enough.

Curious if there are any other tech stacks you have used, for a use case with a database?

Ask HN: Shifting Reoccuring Agentic Workflow to ML Process?

I know I can simply ask myaAgent or Google this question but would prefer to ask HN for any practical real examples used day to day.Question: For the people who build agentic workflows, how do I implement a ML habit where the agent learns from itself, can iterate and improve on it's own? I would still oversee and validate but would love to learn ML implementation to agents. Am I just...

AI Boom / Bust – Boom Boom Pow

Constant chatter about AI being in a boom right now, a blimp sized bubble going to pop soon. It's taking our jobs. These are common statements of expression I hear everyday. I use AI daily, I use it in and out of work every single day. While there is some truth in there, I say harness the power of it, learn it, don't run away, run towards it.Of course every person on here has heard the recent...

Every once in a while a website, app, tech innovation that I encounter that literally gets me off the couch and motivates me to move. First it was Nike Run Club got me into running -> then Strava -> Now, Nickels and Dimes, love competing against myself and family!

The bezel on the Duo has over 100 parts alone, I just foresee bad quality and this going like the Apple Vision Pro

I agree, i dont need to upgrade, hence why its not justifiable. Also buying refurb on Back Market etc., and doing a BYOD Plan its cheaper too

iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro – Not Justifiable

My bad for a second post in a row about AAPL, because I do truly like the company but is anyone tired of the 18th iPhone, were essentially just being sold a software update every year, in this economy is the upsell of a new phone every year really justified. Also the Duo is $2k....Back to my last post, I miss tactile buttons. Feeling this way about majority of the technology these days.
