marconey | 8 days ago | on: You are not your job

Well said, thanks

I’d much rather know and learn about someone’s passion for woodworking, hill walking, flower arranging, whatever they enjoy doing in their free time, rather than having to talk about their (or my!) work.

marconey | 8 months ago | on: Ask HN: How do you avoid AI slop on YouTube?

The best change I made on YouTube was to turn ‘Watch History’ and ‘Search History’ off

With no history the algorithm can’t populate the Home tab or the Shorts tab and they are blank

I just rely on the Subscriptions tab and searching

marconey | 10 months ago | on: Mozilla to shut down Pocket and Fakespot

I was a very heavy pocket user and loved it, but around 2019 they changed their Discover tab, so you could no longer see the source of the article.

The pages were listed as ‘Pocket’ source, and they windowed the original article in a pocket page with ads

brought the total to six so far in 2024, after 10 in 2023

With 25 days to go in the year, this is likely (hopefully) lower than 2023?

You must play through mistakes like they're not there, keep the rhythm with your foot and the melody line in your head. Also don't play the hardest stuff you just learned in recitals, play stuff you can do with your eyes closed while holding a conversation.

Brilliant life advice in general, keep your head in the game, carry on and maintain the flow.

Switching to greyscale on iOS really helps reduce the attractiveness of wasting time

Settings->Accessibility->Display&Text->Color Filters

And you can activate with triple-click of side button also

Settings->Accessibility->Accessibility Shortcut->Color Filters

marconey | 4 years ago | on: Is YC a Monopoly?

The MFN clause can’t be considered more competitive against other seed and angel investors.

It is clearly making their next fundraise MORE complex for founders.

marconey | 4 years ago | on: Channel 4 subtitles and other services not likely to return until mid-November

Sounds like a tough month for the engineers!

* The fault happened on 25 September when a fire suppressant system destroyed hard disks at a broadcast centre.

An emergency back-up subtitling system also failed. The channel is building a new system from scratch, and said it will fix the problem more quickly than its current prediction of mid-November if it can.*
