It's perfectly HackerNews, I agree -- any other forum would have native support for Markdown, which solves this problem much more cleanly!

Maybe they'll finally turn it on for Markdown's 25th anniversary in a few years? A man can dream...

Where can I find the list of supported GPUs? Frigate been able to handle everything I've tried so far, all from Nvidia and AMD GPUs to even Intel iGPUs.

I have used Frigate for years, I think early on it didn't support all of those GPUs. So it might be that said videos are out of date.

I was thinking of trying to run this at home: https://github.com/tphakala/birdnet-go
d0ugal · 7 months ago
I have been running this for about 1 year, works very well. The developer is regularly updating it and I run the nightly image at the moment.

While checking this out I came across this site (https://alice.hot.page/) in its showcase as one of the examples and legit spent five minutes reading Alice in Wonderland and I think I need to introspect how I spend my time a little..

The Merlin app has transformed my nature/photo walks, and got me interested in birds.

I never realized how many unique birds I was hearing as I’d walk through an area until I turned this app on. It opened a whole new awareness, and helped me remember which bird calls go with which species.

There’s also something incredibly cool and satisfying and beautiful about the resulting spectrograms. Watching the shape of the bird call appear visually in realtime really changed my experience of listening.

I blame this app for making me buy a birding lens for my camera, which had previously been used primarily for landscapes/cityscapes. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I have similar experiences. My parents both use the app also. It’s one of the few apps I hear their generation (retired and 65+) talking about.

Now I’m imaging a crossover with this and Pokémon Go. Gamified bird watching!

Your website on https://getjsonip.com/ says:

Maybe update that text? There is no guidance on acceptable thresholds, rate limits, etc.

Yeah, because their incentives strongly align with it. The argument is that the incentives don't align outside of mission critical systems.
d0ugal · 4 years ago
Right, agreed. I was replying to this from the comment. Which seemed to claim it was impossible.

> We'll never achieve high reliability for anything but the simplest software

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear!

Ah I remember when I thought like this. I was so young and naive. Good times.

Fact of the matter is, software is NOT like building a bridge, or any other engineering discipline, it's much, much more complex. We'll never achieve high reliability for anything but the simplest software (reactor control rooms come to mind). Accept the fact that software is hopelessly broken, and find tactics to deal with it.

IIUC NASA achieve high reliability for problems that don’t seem simple.

I went from 'well it's OK' to 'I quite like this' to 'it's great!' in about 10 minutes.

Creating a new web account loads the tutorial page, but it's a little confusing at first how to add a node. Also, there are quite a few spelling and grammar errors on that page which will make an unfair negative impression. If you clean those up you will get more conversions.

Examples:

  It's my job to keep your complicated brain neat and tidy and remember **things** for a long time!

  Here's how you can **create** a neat Note Garden.

  2. Structure what you have learned and put **it** in order.
  
  I even take care of your knowledge so that you won't forget **it** for the rest of your life!

  (The road to being a great gardener** was **not easy, but we did it!)
Note also in the last example how the bold markdown surrounds the whitespace. I highlighted this manually (and carelessly) but clicking on a word also selects trailing spaces. You should probably strip the whitespace.

On the landing page 'Write Smartly' is correct English, but people rarely use the word this way - although it is technically correct it feels weird, and you don't want to create that feeling on a landing page. 'Write Smart' would be better.

Also, you wrote 'Law students - People who study for a long time that should not be forgotten'. I suggest 'Law students - People who need to study and retain knowledge for a long time.'

These are small language errors, but they would be very quickly noticed by your target audience.

Finally, the desktop sign-in with Google seems not to work - it opens a blank window and then closes again. Maybe it is just from server load right now.

Anyway I like it a lot and will consider using it regularly. I am more of a pencil-and-paper note person but this is one of the nicest digital notebooks I've found.

The README lacks of an example of input and output.

Agreed. I went digging and found one in the docs. https://pynguin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart.htm...
