This is pretty amazing, I have been scrobblin’ for 23 years (pre-rename from audioscrobbler to last.fm), from Winamp and foobar2000 to iTunes to Spotify over the years - amazing to see them continue this service for the dedicated music lovers. One of the few services spanning decades of analytics - excited for the team!
I’ve always liked trivia / Jeopardy-style games and learning, so this started as a fun side project to see how quickly I could build and ship something “real” using AI-assisted development (I got my niece and nephews in there trying it out, so a success there for them to see that they can build the next new awesome app themselves!).
AI dev is definitely hit or miss on development, but I am surprised at how well AI is doing some app dev tasks (using frameworks it does exceedingly well, not surprising!), and also some misses (trivia writing it does oddly well, but verifiability is imperfect, I had some issues early on with hallucination to fix, but pretty good now!).
Would love feedback, especially on the onboarding, obvious gotchas, question quality, and the app overall, I am using it to learn a lot quickly!
As a relative laymen in this hardware inference space, I am curious what exactly was Groq useful for vs. the typical hardware architecture? Or was this a “step in before they become more generally useful” situation for Nvidia/Groq?
Incredible for post-popcorn, and for $10 nowadays a no brainer. I still find floss does a better job at scraping the sides of the tooth vs water flossers for dislodging.
Fun project! For HN Pez fans, The Pez Outlaw is an amazing “hacker” collector documentary on Netflix that follows Steve Glew - who made his own dispensers semi-legit through connections in Europe (Pez Europe operated separately from Pez USA, and still does in many ways). Has some parallels to the scrappy nature of tech as well.
The 2010 Prius IV had this as an option - one of my favorite cars due to low maintenance (the lowest maintenance visits per year for its era). The solar panel air vent circulation is a nice feature (even if slightly gimmicky) and I suspect extends the hybrid battery life as well by preventing some marginal battery heat death while parked.
The newest (2023+) Prius brought back the solar roof as an option - and this time it charges the battery (albeit marginally / but not bad for those that drive minimally).
For telco at least, some countries have exactly that and unfortunately it does not run more efficiently and centralizes potential content control. Innovation comes from competition, and privatization keeps content more freely flowing. If we can solve those two while centralizing that would be amazing but maybe unrealistic with current policy.
If you have two people, you can have person A ask person B to “pick a random number”, and use heads for odd, tails for even. Don’t tell person B why you’re asking and my guess is you’re relatively random heads/tails. No studies that I am aware of to back this up, so people could be biased towards odd/even, but a bias correction could correct that too.
