Can’t we disguise the PWA as a browser on the iOS App Store? So in theory it’s just another browser that only allows to open one website- the PWA. But on the surface, to the users it will be available as an app in App Store.

Would you mind sharing the app link? Curious to see what you made with the help of AI.

How were you able to buy the Hooks? To me the aliexpress site show “not delivering to india” for any item I pick. Any workaround?

The Edge browser is essentially is Chrome under the hood. With cosmetic changes and some Microsofty features. I switched to Edge and would never go back to chrome. Big reason is - the vertical tabs feature and tab grouping. At anytime I have around 300-400 tabs open and vertical tabs + grouping makes browsing through them a breeze and I always know where the tab is I’m looking for. Takes a few days to get used to vertical tabs, but once you do, you’ll question the decision of other browsers to have horizontal tabs where you can’t even read the title when many are open.

Meanwhile, you can use third party mobile apps for HN that work perfect. Just type “hacker news” on the App Store (iOS) and you’ll see a bunch of apps. Try and see which one fits your usage style. I personally use the app called “HACK for hacker news” and it fulfils all I could ask for. I mostly browse and write on HN using this app. Not promoting this app, just helping fellow users.

And what departments are relatively safer than the ones you mentioned?

Bacteria: Hold my beer…

It already is revolutionary and maybe we overlook how it is helping us all daily, work faster, spend more quality time, make things easy.

I’ll give just one very small example: I have this huge photo library on my phone and sometimes I need to find a particular photo or receipt from a specific business that I clicked 3-4 years ago. Doing that manually means spending at least 10 mins to 30 mins if I don’t remember the exact month or year I clicked it in. And I used to mostly defer finding the photo as much as I could. Or do it when I was totally bored and nothing to do.

Cue AI: I type the business name or photo description in the search bar and it displays the photo right there. 3 seconds.

Another could be about the Camera app using CV to read live text or numbers. I guess CV and LLMs are specifically going to explode this year as they already have a strong base and proven use case.

Would you stop visiting hacker news even though ChatGPT is using the content from its pages? NO. People won’t stop visits to their fav sites just because ChatGPT is there. However, the biggest problem would be faced by new websites/blogs that aren’t popular and we’re using SEO till now to get the much needed traffic. So, google is a content discovery website now and ChatGPT is a Q&A website on steroids. But people can not have discussions and share opinions on ChatGPT, hence they will keep using social media, Quora, medium, Reddit, HN etc. and these would stay as the medium of content discovery and engagement.

Ultimately, human progress happens when they save time.(e.g invention of wheels, cars, airplane, telephone, messaging, internet and now AI)

Eventually no one can prevent AI progress. And any wise person shouldn’t. It is the progress of human specie. And If no one can prevent it, let’s embrace it with open arms and make it happen as quick as possible and advance the world further to solve even bigger problems using these advancements in tech.

Great! A question - Did you ever get Covid? What effects did it have on your performance in swimming and running?

> I know this won’t be a popular point, but I think we have nearly all of human history as evidence that “magical believing” societies survive more effectively than not.

Not true. Majority of progress human civilisation made happened in last 100-200 yrs. in the industrial revolution and Information Age. None of them were based upon “magical” concepts but only science, hard work and facts. Infact it has been the most pragmatic time in human history.

We would soon land on Mars within this century, exponentially increasing the chances of survival of human specie in the very long run. Plans already underway for moon as well. All of this would be made possible by people who believe in pure facts and science and not in magical things. I think the “magical believing” phase occurred due to 1) extreme fear of adverse events(floods/volcanoes) or the things unknown to humans (how does it rain? We don’t know. Let’s create a rain god and keep them happy so it doesn’t run erratically. Try that now with Climate change on our head, rain or cold wave patterns won’t change even if 7bn people worship a rain god today). But now that humans know a lot of these answers, the era of scientific truths begun and will continue forever. Would be interesting to see where religion goes in next 50 yrs.

That’s so bad. I have experienced similar things and now I don’t use any maps within my city as I know all routes and it’s a relief not having to constantly look at the screen and switch back to road.

What I fail to understand is, I guess everyone on the dev team of google maps, is actually using the app on almost daily basis. Why can’t they see its flaws, how can they not be passionate to improve something that they themselves use daily and when they are even getting paid to improve it.

This is ripe for a new player to jump in.
