YouTube has some seriously scammy ads. To an extent that these ads have motivated me to buy premium for my parents as they tend to fall into the trap of fake dialog boxes shown in ads warning a PDF app needing an update.

Have been in using greyscale on and off to reduce my screen time. Due the issues that the author reported I switched back and changed the icon colors to monocolor grey with black wallpaper to atleast keep the phone default UI color free.

The first behaviour it changed is making app logos of Instagram, YouTube, Reddit stand out. Some of these apps became a reflex click when I unlock my phone usually as a fidget. Greyscale takes away the lure of these app icons.

Love the shortcuts tip. Setting it up to see if I can sustain greyscale full time now.

The number of videos/podcasts I want to watch daily, exceeds the number of hours I could spend each day to consume them.

So ADHD or not, this is a common demand.

After seeing a synthetic version that mimics the tone well enough, the real HN once back here felt slightly less distinct. When every information style gets a believable AI twin, our usual cues for judging what’s credible start to wobble.

To be clear, the strange part wasn’t that it fooled me, it didn’t. The issue was some form of “signal contamination” that my brain experienced.

I think metro trains in countries like The Netherlands and Singapore use this approach where in you tap your cards and entry and exit and you are billed usually somewhere at the end of the day.

I'm not well versed with CURL design, but curious - is your first connection handling TLS while second relying on the previously established handshake?

This why I love reddit. Oh wait!

Inspired by his work on buffer bloat like so many others. Rest in peace.

I like the way this being proposed in a decentralised manner. Kudos to the author for the effort and thought put in.

However, I am curious what the incentive for publishers is to adopt this standard if those emojis are only relevant for the websites own silo? Use cases like these call for customized deep integrated implementations.

My question is a curious one. I might be missing the big picture and would like to get educated.

This is also using OpenAI's GPT model. So the same hallucinations are probable here for PDFs.

As relaxing as this experience was, I thought of resolving the itch to write trivial code to control the emojis and creatures with left/right clicks.

    let clickCount = 0;
    document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => { (clickCount == 0) ? clickCount : clickCount--; event.preventDefault() }, false);
    window.onclick = function (e) {
        return clickCount++;
    }
    function random(i) {
        let emojis = 20;
        let creatures = 14;
        if (i == 1) {
            return (clickCount % (creatures + emojis) < creatures) ? 0.02 : 0.03;
        }
        else if (i == creatures)
        {
            return index = clickCount % (creatures + emojis) ;
        }
        else if (i == emojis)
        {
            return (clickCount % (creatures + emojis)) - creatures;
        }
    }
