As a long-time Costco member and very minor shareholder (like 10 shares), lawsuits like this are frustrating. It is in my best interest as both member and shareholder for Costco to relentlessly look for opportunities to reduce costs, including getting credits back from procurement and sourcing. It would be costly to try and determine the tariff impact to every member and then pass it back along. I'd rather see those funds contribute to keeping prices low by offsetting other cost pressures.
I have 3 kids (14, 12, 11). I could have used something like this when they were around 10-12 to create some accountability for simple tasks like "pick up your room" or more commonly the dreaded 20 minutes of reading, especially when they ask for extra screen time.
The demo video has more than I would ask my kids to do, but 1-2 minor things that should be done every day isn't a sheesh to me.
It seems the problem is looking for a single picture to represent the whole. Why not have generative AI always generate multiple images (or a collage) that are forced to be different? Only after that collage has been generated can the user choose to generate a single image.
I have been looking for a solution where I can remote into my company laptop in a pinch from my phone. Many of our cloud resources are moving to be private IPs and VPN only, which can only run on corporate managed devices. I have a few PIs sitting around and it seems like it would be $100-$200 even with a PI to build (pikvm hat is $150 and tinypilot wasn't obvious what the BOM is).
Is there a lower cost or simpler solution? Company hardware is windows and VPN is fortinet and WSL2 is allowed
The cheapest secure option with built-in software is probably SSH port forwarding of RDP. If you have to, you can have an SSH client connecting out from the laptop, reverse port forwarding back from a server you control.
Ideally you'd configure RDP to only listen on loopback.
Any software solution would be detectable to all the corporate monitoring tools vs. hardware as discussed in the article (which I guess someone could figure out via USB/device IDs but seems less likely to be noticed than open ports/RDP connections).
Looks good. We use CoCalc for similar collaboration benefits. There is a self-hosted option which was important to us. CoCalc has been a game changer as we've all moved remote. Once Deepnote adds the self-hosted / cloud option (I see it coming soon) we'll check it out.
Seems like an advertisement for a book to get access to the content. The book is authored by the same person who wrote the article and the poster is new. I flagged it
I am sharing a visualisation - and the book which shows you how to make one is advertised on the same page. Is Show HN: not for showing something you made yourself?
> Is Show HN: not for showing something you made yourself?
It is, but the website itself contains no explanation of what it is. Yes your submission has a short, descriptive title, which is good, but the site is still very confusing to land on as a first-time visitor. Especially with the table of contents that goes nowhere.
Couple that with the fact that the website is mostly made up of ad banners for 3 separate products, it makes quite an odd Show HN submission (unless the Show HN is actually "Show HN: I wrote a book called Data is Beautiful", in which case I'd suggest updating the title.
Thanks for the feedback, paired with my other reply below, I'll be working on the presentation soon. I'm not a fan of the Bootstrap "jumbotron" for the banners myself either so I'll look for something else.
I understand that naming conflicts make things harder to search for, but I don't like the notion of a 'we' saying how things can be named. People should be free to name their projects how they see fit and whatever connects with them. A person would likely need to search for 'unicorn emulator' anyways and it comes right up.
Obviously you are free to name your project whatever you like, but I think it is important to avoid clichés. Part of fixing any problem is pointing out its existence. If I could actually dictate rules, I would start by barring music video directors from including any audio that is not in the single from their work.
There is likely a sizable number of your trial users from HN who signed up merely to better understand it and see if it actually works. It crossed my mind to do it, so presumably others too. The initial spike could be largely driven by technical curiosity instead of real need.
