As you mentioned you like Alfred, why did you choose to build a standalone app as opposed to an Alfred extension? Since you use Electron: spinning up a browser every time I need a quick-launch bar seems a little overkill.

Anyway, the UI looks very neat! Starred the repo and will try playing with it.


Thank you for your reply! Indeed, creating an extension for Alfred or Raycast would be better. However, personally, I feel that it may not be fast enough since it would require some command prompts to enter the question and answer mode. As for Electron, I agree with what you said. Although I haven't observed too many lagging issues at the moment, the current app package size has already reached 90MB...


throwaway914, would you be willing to send over your drivers license for verification to participate on HN?


Nope. That's why I'm not on Facebook, which presently asks for ID when it deems necessary.


The very obvious loophole is that a teen could upload a picture of someone else to get an account made.

...and everyone uploading pictures of their kids would have to keep their drivers license handy.


Yes. True.

I think if you use someone's photo for Facebook, they're likely to already be on the site.

You could also have the AI look at the photos that are uploaded over time and if they look very different from the person who supposedly created the account...and comments from others are not questioning why these are a different person.

Right now they don't have people vetting. Throw AI at it for non-perfect but better results. As long as it's not a gov site I'm okay with this. Got off Facebook in 2005 when the first of my relatives became racists.


I think only kid's driver licenses should be accepted... You should not be able to post a picture of kid on online.


Thank you!


All of OP's three posts point to the same developer. Just saying.


Fetches (and parses) a ~93kB JSON file every 3 seconds along with the threejs stuff. No wonder it refuses to load on my mid-range android phone.


Unable to reproduce this on Chrome 118. I just ended up with an untitled bookmark.

Still interesting to look at Chromium's source to see that they have unit tests for bookmarklets [1]. Also looks like people "frequently" report running JS from bookmarks as an XSS vulnerability [2]

Did you drag and drop it? Which OS? It works for me on Windows.


It doesn't seem to work on Chromium on Ubuntu. I don't have a Mac to try it on, perhaps someone else can try it.


Doesn't work on macOS for me. Huh.


For anyone wondering if there is any subgenre that he seems to not vehemently dislike, French House seems to have a surprisingly charitable description.

> ...every kick for just a fraction of a second, adding a new dimension of chunky French goodness.

> French House is still around because anything this addictively funky will never die. Just like Disco.


>Goa Trance is Trance music at its purest essence, where psychedelia could run wild and free unfettered from the societal norms and bland commercial anthems that corrupted other Trance scenes. Here, and only here, could the unchained spirits of rave roam as they were wont to do. And it is good.


He also really likes oldschool trance ("before the dutch got their hands on it"), acid, and italo disco


Also disco house! But the derision is part of the charm imo


It's there if you punch in "Electronica" in the searchbox.

> 'Electronica' does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s.

Nearly every popular act of the period -- Daft Punk, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Tricky -- were marketed as 'Electronica' at one time or another, but the person who really popularized it was Madonna and her shallow William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). But there really isn't any actual thing called Electronica. It's just a corporate buzzword.

This is a PSA from the official Electronic Music Genre Standards and Classifications Consortium.


Some more quotes

> The Swedish House Mafia is a dingleberry clinging to the ass hair of electronic music. Seriously, what sort of horrendous ear sandpaper like One needs three god damn producers?

The dubstep section deserves a special mention in a similar way:

"You ever have one of those really sticky poos where you've pinched it off but it's clinging to your sphincter for dear life, and you don't want to get up and wipe because that would take a lot of toilet paper, so you just kinda sit there helpless, and maybe wiggle around a bit to try and shake it off?

And then after a few minutes gravity does its job and the turd finally detaches from your rectum and drops into the bowl with a satisfying ker-plunk?

Well guess what: They make music like that now."
