Hey Guys,

I’m a cofounder at Quill, a software that transcribes meeting notes and automatically detects action items in speech. Get started letting your notes take themself for free today!

We built our Beta in 2 weeks, and are a little nervous about sharing it with our fellow Hunters; we know there’s still work to be done in many places. In any case, I’d love to hear your feedback. Please comment and share your thoughts!

Here’s how to use it:

1. Navigate to our website and hit “Try Quill Beta”
2. Call your buddies using your favourite video conferencing software
3. On the Quill meeting login page, make up a Meeting ID (e.g. "quill_is_awesome”) and password (e.g. “1234”)
4. Share the Meeting ID and password with your buddies so everyone can have their voice heard
5. Once the meeting is over, save your group’s notes as a markdown, pdf, or copy to your clipboard to post to your medium of choice (e.g. notion, google doc, email)

We know there are some really great speech-to-text companies out there, and we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. Our goal is to take the transcript, pull out the useful parts to save you time identifying key outcomes of the meeting, and pushing those to your existing project management tools.

We’re early in our journey, but keen to hear your thoughts!

Cheers,
Ahana
I seem to remember seeing somewhere that that was the plan.

How accurate that is, I don't know.
There is no reason to give a career — a poor abstraction built around the simple concept of doing work for money — higher value than rearing a child, something millions of years of evolution has gender specifically selected for.
I’ll assume you don’t actually need to see you browser tabs or the Zoom mute toggle, just to be able to access them instantaneously. If I were you, I might keep Slack filling the screen most of the time, with the browser on workspace 9 — so it can pulled up with Super + 9 — and make a combo like Super + M both focus Zoom (on a third workspace), `xdotool key --clearmodifiers Alt+m` (with the setting enabled for that to toggle mute), and perhaps `xdotool windowmove 80% y` or so Slack and make Super + S or something reset the Slack workspace afterwards.

I'm still on Catalina and the external ultrawide LG monitor that's directly connected through Thunderbolt to my 16" MacBook Pro runs fine at only 60hz with its lid closed... The constant sound of an F35's VTOL engine right next to me all day long can't be good though
It has been awesome! Really not much to criticize – mostly using it for graph data and queries via AQL.
Yes, Kex Paxton is a massive scumbag. It seems the people that work for him did good work here though.
Blue Origin may move slowly but it would still be surprising if New Glenn couldn't easily handle that by 2026. It should only take 14 launches for 1600 satellites assuming 120 per launch (double Starlink/Falcon 9), and New Glenn is supposed to be reusable and operational next year.
I noticed that even if I cared or judged someone, the one who's wasting time and energy is actually me, and there are no actual effects on the target.
I think this can be taken with a grain of salt, as Coroner in the UK sometimes is quirky, like that one time they recorded a person died from THC overdose ( https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/gemma-moss-marijuana-... ) and that was then widely used to discredit any legalisation movement and make access to cannabis for patient impossible for a number of years. I can easily see this verdict is politically motivated and unlikely scientific.
There is a use-case for CentOS Stream, and if all Red Hat did was announced CentOS Stream and kept CentOS proper NO ONE would have any issue with that.

There is also a use case for a production fork of RHEL as well. That's now gone. People who migrated to CentOS 8 because they thought they were getting a decade of support - that's now gone.

So what are you arguing, that the second group somehow doesn't get it?
Well educated kids is obviously an asset to our society, but it puzzles me how the same society not only doesn't reward men for raising kids, it makes kids their biggest liability. It's like planting a tree because our society cries wolf about deforestation, and then years later getting a 500k bill from USFS because they had to do some works related to that tree. Men really need a lot of altruism to start a family these days.
> Whats missing is an analysis of why CentOS failed.

CentOS did not fail. CentOS was a wild success. Like the vast majority of tech success storeis, CentOS was picked up by a major player and turned against its roots to protect the incumbent moneymaker.

But the terrific thing about the GPL, for all its flaws and despite its crazy founder, is that it ensures the health and longevity of a project despite well-funded attacks against it.
I hate Preview's PDF editing features, I wish there was a way to turn them off.

I'm the kind of person who tends to randomly click on things as I read them. In other PDF readers, this is quite harmless. In Preview, it starts editing the PDF. 99.9% of the time I have zero interest in editing or annotating the PDF I am reading. And then when I quit it asks me if I want to save a copy. I never wanted to change it to begin with!

(Maybe it is time I found another PDF reader...)
Birth Defects Tied to Higher Cancer Risk
Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, games that try to mix the mobility of regular games with VR (e.g. Population One) require you to use the joystick to move, which completely breaks the immersion for me. It just feels like a lesser version of the real deal.

Blaston and Superhot on the other hand tie you to the same physical boundaries you're actually in and make me feel like I'm actually in the game. I dodge bullets by stepping aside or crouching. I physically aim to land that headshot.

Even though the graphics are simple it feels more realistic since my maneuvers represent what I can actually do with my body in real life.

I think the key is to accept that you can never be the John Wick you are in regular games and add some unique mechanics utilizing the restrictions. Superhot has the slow motion which makes you feel like you're in the Matrix when pulling off good moves and Blaston has a really cool gun gameplay (having to balance picking up guns, firing, throwing and dodging simultaneously) and the intensity of standing right next to another player trying to shoot you in the face.

Blaston has also managed to capture gestures in a great way and there's a meta game for greeting (waving, bowing), praising (thumbs up, clapping hands), doing GG (bumping fists with the other player) etc so the other person feels really alive. That's something novel I haven't experienced before.

It's 100% a trade-off though with the core gameplay always being inferior due to the limitations. Game developers really need to work around that fact not to end up just making a bleak copy of a "real" game. It's also probably a different target audience since it should produce different types of games if done right. Kinect is not a bad comparison but I think the potential of VR is much greater.
Happy to chat if you change your mind!

Love the testing. I think the taped/non-taped results may diverge as time goes on and the filter becomes loaded. The static pressure of air filters approximately doubles over the lifetime of the filter, and in an unconstrained system more and more air will be going around the filter instead of through it.
How will one data point (did this person test positive?) be used against minority groups? I'm as skeptical of govt data collection as the next HNer, but I fail to see how this particular piece of information could be weaponized.
Ask HN: Linux tiling manager still works well on a large monitor?
I get the appeal of using a tiling manager like i3 on a linux laptop. My question is, are tiling managers still useful if you are working from a desktop with a large monitor, such as a 34" ultrawide?

Anyone have experience using tiling managers on a large monitor?
Java on Visual Studio Code Update – November 2020
huh? I suffer due to targeted advertising? I'm better off watching ads for trucks and heartburn meds?

I don't think a newspaper has a God given right to a certain percentage of all the ad dollars, and I don't see how Google's business model amounts to a tax. What "costs" are they even referring to? How is a search engine supposed to collect revenue for the services rendered? Google connects users with information, and content providers with eyeballs, and does a better job of it than anyone else. The world before Google was a worse world, where these connections didn't happen.

This argument is so specious and just full of unsubstantiated use of buzzwords. IANAL but if it doesn't pass the common sense test I can't see it getting far in court.
That poor abstraction is what allows most people to provide their children with the quality of life they deem necessary.
I've seen things that don't work quite right in Firefox. The Zoom webapp doesn't recognize some of my audio devices, but Chrome does. The Citrix gateway also fails to log in on Firefox sometimes.

I don't know whether those are bugs in Firefox or if Chrome is doing something funky that causes it to work but not Firefox.
Up front disclosures: I'm the parent of a (prenatally-diagnosed) child with Down syndrome, and I'm pro-choice as a matter of public health and self-sovereignty.

It's been really nice to see the civil discourse in this thread, with people taking their respective positions and no one being a jerk. Thank you!

If you or someone you know has just received a diagnosis of a child with Down syndrome, prenatal or not, please help them find one of the several awesome support organizations out there. When we got our diagnosis, it was devastating and scary. The truth is, there's a huge spectrum of outcomes on a large number of dimensions. Heart trouble != intellectual delays != physical delays, etc. So far, raising my typically-developing daughter has been just as hard, just as much work, and just as unknown in a lot of ways as raising my son with Ds.

My wish and hope for the world is that every prospective parent makes decisions informed by facts and not fear. Folks who still choose not to continue a pregnancy (or choose to otherwise give up the baby) will receive absolutely no judgement from me and many people like me. But there's a lot of misinformation and misinterpretation available to you during one of the most emotional and confusing times you may ever encounter.

One such organization is the DSDN [1], which I'm familiar with because my spouse is currently a volunteer with them. There are others including national and local advocacy groups, Gigi's Playhouse, and more. Just please, talk to some new (and long-time) parents who've been there.

Yes, but it's easy to generate a valid pdf. You just include the features you need and ignore the rest. It's really hard to transform an arbitrary pdf because you need to handle all the features.

Without further information this is more likely to be an Apple bug because they are doing the harder job.
I've never done the calculation, but we haven't had anything major come up yet on our 2017. We did have a corrosion problem on the aluminum hood out of warranty, and Chrysler fixed it for free.
> VR is already fun and we're in for a wild ride once AR hits the market.

I, personally, see VR as being much more exciting than AR, from an entertainment and capabilities perspective. I don't want to be limited to my small living room or whatever setting I'm in. When I'm in the real world outside of my house, I can't imagine what AR would bring that wouldn't be completely utilitarian, like replacing my phone/watch with a virtual device, holochat calls, maybe add more trees, etc. But, I'm also not very imaginative.

What do you see in the future with AR?

I have a long-abiding interest in linguistics, and formal training in programming language theory. English legalese is my favorite pseudo-language. It's also the first pseudo-language I remember learning about, from my uncle. My uncle is a very accomplished attorney (up to the Supreme Court) and his comment was, to paraphrase: "legal texts are usually very clear once you understand them; it is the discovery of facts, and the application of the text to facts that are the domain of lawyers and judges".
Does the fact it's flagged change anything?
I haven't found much precision instrumentation or manufacturing stuff on MA craigslist. The MIT Swap Meet used to be THE place for that thing but the past couple years I've gone its all junk. I wonder if there is a new venue to find those things?
I saw this in video form. The problem is that there are still some common types of masks missing from this study.

For example, I have a mask that has the vortex valve. BUT it is a 5-layer mask, and between it and my mouth and nose is a disposable 3 layer filter. The valve does make it easier to breathe out, but what is breathed out still goes through the 3 layer filter plus one layer of the built-in filters, instead of all 5 layers. I've seen these masks in medical use throughout the Covid pandemic as well. You breath in through 5 filters, and out through 4. And yes, when you take it off after a few hours of use, the smell of the world and any amount of humidity is pretty shocking.

They would be completely correct if I omitted the 3 layer filter, but then the mask is only 2 layers plus the vortex valve with only 1 layer over it, which clearly would be insufficient.

So while it looks exactly like a 3-layer mask with a vortex valve, it isn't one.
I would let you know but I can’t be bothered to write an official email. Inattention to detail and all.

The website looks excellent but the perf could really do with some work.

After a quick look in the profiler I found that you're eager loading full-res images from shopify, and it's adding quite a bit of time before the page fully paints, with a lot of reflow. I'd recommend lazyloading them after the fact, with a super low res version as a background-image and adding a min-height to the images so that the whole page doesn't reflow as much.

Otherwise a great site and good looking products, If I had kids I'd buy a shirt.

>Marriage rates are historic lows. Birth rates are historic lows. Women having careers is certainly the current belief why these are so low.

In the olden days women had careers also, just only those ones in the upper-class. While women may not have had jobs like we think of them today, they also weren't at home taking care of households and chores and caring for children (they had an army of servants to do that for them) and so they pursued many of the same things upper-class men did.

Birth rates and marriage rates are low now because our society doesn't value marriage and birth as much as previous ones. We no longer attach a person's worth to their marital status (and that has had many benefits, don't get me wrong). There are ongoing efforts to not see the point of marriage or a family as having and raising children (for now, it's still the first thing that comes to people's minds though).

When that value isn't there socially, people won't struggle to attain that value. Instead we value material things a lot more (no way for me to prove that but it feels so clear when you read a bit of history or books from back then vs. now), and the best way to attain material things quickly is to not pursue things of declining social value (like babies and marriage).
I think the reason it's not appearing there is because you're looking in the "Wikipedia:" namespace, which is actually used for meta pages, not articles (e.g: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ).

How to Make a Natural Composite: A Step by Step Guide with a Cost Breakdown
They're called SUVs now and the extra seats are absent so that they can be styled with a sloping back. Priorities.
Great driver and front passenger comfort. I haven't heard the kids complain about the rest of the seating. I've sat in the middle row a couple times and being tall-ish it wasn't as good as the front but still pretty decent.

The ride itself is great, and its not noisy. There's an active noise cancellation system, not sure if it does anything as I don't think I can turn it off to compare.
This is very much a description of the modes I operate in! And I get very high levels of engagement with myself. My thoughts actually distract me a lot from real life verbal conversations as well.

Traits You Should Slowly Remove from Your Day-to-Day Life
I've logged over 200 hours in Beat Saber, mostly playing with friends. What you're talking about is definitely a real problem, but the solution is to just have the game rendered to the TV as well as the headset. Everyone sees and hears what the person is doing, even though they're the one in VR.

My wife watched me play the entirety of Half Life Alyx that way, and she enjoyed it a lot. And were were able to talk and share the experience the entire time.
I have been a heavy user of i3 for the last 4 years and all in all I highly recommend it. That said - I encourage you to not jump on it just because it's the first tiling window manager that you try (like me). It turns out that a lot of what makes a tiling window manager good is how well it maps to your internal expectation of how things should be layed out. I encourage you to think about what window layout you want in each situation and figure out how much work it is to get the wm to do it.

In my particular case I recently switched to https://www.herbstluftwm.org/ and haven't looked back. HBWM allows me to provide more rigid control over my layouts and then tile my windows in. Since switching I have found myself spending a lot less time messing around with relative sizes and a lot more time getting work done. Just one opinion - but the point is that you should do your own research.

> I've been working on a community air quality monitor for my little community

Some people lament how little impact they can have on government policy on these problems, so I'm heartened to see such initiatives from the bottom up. Imagine if even .1% of the global population were monitoring air quality? Such data could have real value to lawyers, journalists, policy makers, city planners, etc.
but Google ads are successful because their targeting allows you to put the right ads in front of the right eyeballs. It's way cheaper to run a targeted ad campaign than buy up a bunch of billboards on a busy freeway. It's also more effective because people can click through and buy right away. All the ads are sold on an auction basis, so their price is directly connected to their utility to the buyer. I fail to see how the ad buyer is harmed.
This is also my go-to. It's dead simple and just works. Tbh, the last thing I want to spend my time doing is tinkering with my personal "network architecture". I'm sure I'd manage to fuck it up at some point when I just want to reach my plex server and watch a movie.
