Ask HN: Why are fonts on websites so small? 7 by linkdd | 6 comments on Hacker News. I find myself zooming up to 150%, sometimes 175% on almost every website out there, HN included. Even my desktop graphic settings are set to 125% UI scale. Small fonts make me less tired at the end of the day, as I spent a lot of time reading documentation and whatever. I usually sit at 1 meter from my screen, but even when I use my laptop at 50cm from the screen, it's still too small. I don't have a bad eyesight either, as I have no problem reading books, which have a good font size IMHO. I was just wondering, how many people out there is like me, zooming everything to have an easier time reading.

Ask HN: Any scientifically proven techniques to boost concentration? 26 by amznbyebyebye | 19 comments on Hacker News. I feel like I have to be in a very specific head space to write code. It’s like climbing a big hill but in my head. Sometimes it’s effortless and sometimes it’s a slog. Are there any proven exercises or techniques I can adopt that are proven to boost my ability to focus and get in that clear headspace to write code? Edit: adding some tips as I try to figure this out. Note: not scientifically proven (to my knowledge) 1. Music. which type depends on the individual. 2. Timing. Dead of night or early in the morning when the world is quiet. Not this isn’t a muscle you can flex at any time, you have to just capitalize on the right time. 3. Long shower 4. Caffeine 5. Get out of the office/house go somewhere else (like a cafe) 6. Take a walk 7. Have a beer 8. Write thoughts down in a notebook without any phones/laptop in sight and then jump to the laptop to implement 9. Med...

Launch HN: MutableAI (YC W22) – Automatically clean Jupyter notebooks using AI 25 by oshams | 7 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I’m Omar the Founder and CEO of MutableAI (YC W22) ( https://mutable.ai ). We transform Jupyter notebook code into production-quality Python code using a combination of AI (OpenAI codex) and PL metaprogramming techniques. I'm obsessed with clean code because I've written so much terrible code in the past. I went from being a theoretical physics PhD dropout -> data scientist -> software engineer at Google -> research engineer at DeepMind -> ML engineer at Apple. In that time I've grown to tremendously value code quality. Clean code is not only more maintainable but also more extensible as you can more readily add new features. It even enables you to think thoughts that you may have never considered before. I want to reduce the cost of clean, production-quality code using AI, and am starting with a niche I'm intimately familiar wit...

Ask HN: Why is there no small Android phone? 18 by fxtentacle | 20 comments on Hacker News. When I search for phones with 3GB+ RAM and <=140mm height, there's only iPhone SE, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini. The fact that Apple released 3 phones in 3 years with this form factor shows me that it is a profitable market segment and that there is demand. Why is there no Android equivalent? https://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2019&nHeightMax=140&nRamMin=3000

Ask HN: Why do I get robocalls from recently-called area codes? 22 by gnicholas | 14 comments on Hacker News. Over the past few weeks, I've started receiving robocalls from area codes that I happen to have just called or received a call from. At first I thought this was just me noticing a pattern that wasn't really there, but when I looked back at my phone records I could see that I had literally never received a phone call from either of these area codes, and that within a day of talking with someone in that area code I started getting robocalls. Has anyone else experienced this? How would robocallers get this information — interception, buying it from my cell phone company, or something else? Even if they're just buying a list of area codes I've talked to, this seems completely inappropriate. And if they're getting the actual numbers, that's even worse.

Ask HN: Does Anyone else working in a crypto company feel this is all a scam? 9 by two_poles_here | 7 comments on Hacker News. I'm working in a Cryptocurrency startup, and all my colleagues are investing heavily into the domain, both mentally and monetarily. I cannot shake off the feeling that this is all a scam. It's so shady, from the way there are new coins and tokens every week, and how investors are throwing money into this program. I don't think my company's product deserves the sort of money it's been getting, and it feels like a bubble that will burst, sooner if not later. Some part of the tech is interesting, the essence of the blockchain, for example, but the main application seems to be just suspicious. What do others in the domain think? I'm not leaving yet because I'm not in a place to change jobs yet again, but I will, eventually, but I feel like this domain is very fishy.

Ask HN: Does targeted advertising work at all? 14 by jpm_sd | 7 comments on Hacker News. I'm too lazy to run ad blockers. So I see plenty of advertising on the internet. Here's the thing: all the ads seem to be for things that I already bought. After I placed an order with Select Blinds, I started getting relentless Select Blinds ads on YouTube. After I made some charitable donations to Mercy Ships and Heifer International, their ads started following me around everywhere. My wife recently got on a new immunosuppressant medication, and now I see ads for that all the time. Great job targeting! But I already spent the money? So what is the point of all this?

Show HN: Edit videos faster by automatically removing silences 17 by shahahmed | 4 comments on Hacker News. Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!
