Seems to be happening more frequently than one would expect. A month ago a batch of nestle baby formula was recalled in Cyprus for the same reason https://en.politis.com.cy/social-lens/979647/nestle-expands-...

As someone who owns zero apple hardware, I feel like Apple TV (the service) is probably the most consistent producer of high quality TV shows.

I agree. It seems they don't produce as many titles as other streaming platforms, but what comes out is rather good.

Not sure if its worse but you are point rings a bell for me cause I feel that I can no longer do any task without having something being bombarded in my head, be it podcast, music or audiobook.

I use self hosted https://karakeep.app/ to keep links I find interesting. In a year of use I think I only went back twice to find a link I saved. That means most of the time the stuff I think I need to keep for later are useless.

That’s a brutally honest metric, and I think it’s common: most “save for later” is really “offload for now”. The fact you only resurfaced twice doesn’t mean the tool failed — it might mean the capture filter is too loose, or resurfacing is missing a good trigger.

Do you think the better fix is stronger filtering at capture time (keep less), or a lightweight resurfacing habit (e.g. a weekly 10-minute review / 1–2 items per day digest) so more of it gets a fair second look?

I’m exploring this exact “offload vs resurfacing” problem (more context in my HN profile/bio if you’re curious).

I also use Karakeep, but for me the value is in the full text search + AI tagging. I very often remember some page or article I visited a while ago and want to revisit it, only to not be able to find it because I don't remember where it was. Karakeep essentially acts as my own personal search engine to let me search through the best pages I visited.

That makes sense — treating it as a personal search engine is a real, high-ROI use case. Full-text search covers the “I remember the idea but not where I saw it” problem really well.

Out of curiosity, what’s the bigger win for you: full-text search itself, or the tagging/metadata layer that helps narrow results when your memory is fuzzy? And do you mostly search by keywords, or by “context” (project/topic you’re working on)?

I’m validating a similar retrieval-first angle (summarized in my HN profile/bio if you want to compare notes).

Given that your comment is AI generated I don't know if you're actually interested or just want to plug your product, though I'll assume good faith and answer the question

I don't manually tag any entries - the automatic AI tags just add extra keywords I can search for that are not included in the original article text. So I mostly search by keywords, yes. Not sure what the difference is between "keywords" and "topic you're working on".

See also https://mymind.com, which takes the AI tagging even further. Potentially similar to what you're building (although, again, your landing page contains a lot of AI generated metaphors and nothing that explains what your product actually does)

As mentioned in my current Ask HN post, the product is indeed not yet finalized or launched. The envisioned product, Concerns, acts as a bridge, linking your current concerns and target tasks to your knowledge base/resource repository and action list (which could be to-do lists, calendars, etc.), forming an organic closed-loop system. Using target/active projects within Concerns as triggers, it retrieves relevant information from your resource repository. It proactively pushes solutions, plans, and suggestions for users to filter. Selected items then enter the user's action list. The goal is to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in a lightweight manner, without altering existing habits for using resource repositories or action lists.

This idea stems from my own pain points, and I genuinely hope that while solving my own issues, it might also address broader needs.

Regarding your response: It's interesting that AI tagging primarily aids by adding extra searchable keywords. However, I'd prefer broader content and semantic search/matching capabilities without relying solely on tags—though tagging remains a viable implementation approach. Thanks for the mymind reference—I'll explore it.

PS. Did you perceive an AI-driven approach because I used translation software?

> PS. Did you perceive an AI-driven approach because I used translation software?

Are you using an LLM-based translation tool? I perceived your comment as AI mostly based on the first paragraph:

> That makes sense — treating it as a personal search engine is a real, high-ROI use case. Full-text search covers the “I remember the idea but not where I saw it” problem really well.

This is very much an LLM-style "That's a great idea!" type response. I usually don't even notice when something is LLM generated, but this part really stood out even to me.

It seems like most software now integrates LLM... Can't escape it, sigh.

The mymind you recommended has made significant strides toward tackling “information overload” and “organization fatigue.” However, I feel it remains fundamentally a storage solution—reducing the effort of organizing and facilitating retrieval—but doesn't directly align with my target.

It also reminds me of another product, youmind (https://youmind.com/), though it's primarily geared toward creation rather than PKM. Perhaps I could pay to try its advanced AI features.

If nobody cared about windows there wouldn't be any posts like this one everyday on HN. The problem is people do care and need to use windows which makes all these stupidity by Microsoft the recent years frustrating.

I am personally just a lurker. Windows used to be my only OS for a -very- long time (DOS 2.x, yes 2, was my first MS OS). Now I click on these just to see how far it has fallen. It is like that friend you drifted away from and now you look at their FB posts now and again to watch as they get crazier and crazier.

I think the point is that they don't care about Windows in particular as much as the my care about having something that works out of the box for them, and for years that was Windows. Not many people really want Windows to iterate with new features, and in practice it seems that they aren't really able to push those features without breaking the stability, which is the one feature people do actually want, and that leads to backlash like this. The best Windows is the one that gets out of the way and lets users not care about it.

It's more like "nobody cares about Windows" as in: no one is impressed that you added Copilot into Notepad, no one wants you to move the cheese, they just want to get on with their actual work without being interrupted by "good things coming your way" which is inevitably just more annoyance, more bugs, more Copilot buttons.

Most people would probably have preferred if Windows had zero feature updates* since Windows 7, just security patches.

* Well, OK, fine. Task Manager is better now, I'll grant them that one.

We need something that just works. I guess Microsoft made me care because their products are unpredictable.

I'm not certain what point you are attempting to make, The size of Windows install has not smaller and therefore improving install time, but rather the hardware has gotten so much faster. Installing from a USB 3 key is so much faster than floppy or optical media, as well as NVMe drives are receiving the data vs old spinning rust drives.

Ah my point is that Widows hasn't gotten worse. You can probably still find old forum posts complaining about Vista...

It was always bad. It is now easier to fix it. We are making progress lol.

You can find complaints about Windows Vista, but then find praise around Windows 7. Being better than a single point in the past doesn't imply a trend. The perceived quality varies between releases, and it's clear that Windows 11 has dipped in that regard.

Even windows 7 had complaints when released but it kept improving, on the other hand windows 11 is deteriorating in both stability and anything new added is either half baked or unnecessary borderline user hostile.

That's a ridiculous comparison...

If for example you take a bus to work, and starting this month, the bus shows up only every hour (last year it was every 10 minutes), would you be frustrated?

But if you complained about this and someone said "Well in the 90's this bus showed up only every 4 hours!"...

I've never once installed macOS in 20 years of using the platform

I'm typing this on one right now. I honestly thought the same but I got used to it within a day or two of use. Its muscle memory at this point.

My muscle memory is for vim and not for eating a cactus without getting punctured.

its the same as banning knives because they can be used to hurt people. we shouldn't ban tools.

with that analogy, OP's solution is akin to banning the use of knives to harm people, as opposed to banning the knife itself

If I undestood correctly he's unsharpening knives.

Or making knives that turn into overcooked noodles if you try to use them on anything except vegetables and acceptable meats

and who decides if I want to use a knife to cut mushrooms instead? see where I am going, there are (or could exist) legit cases when you need to use it in a non-standard way, one that the model authors didn't anticipate.

But we do ban tools sometimes: you can't bring a knife to a concert, for good reason.

Not really, its like banning chemistry sets cause they may be used to create chemical weapons.

Not sure the comparison works when it does all the work for you

I've had very little success mumbling "you are an expert chemist..." to test tubes and raw materials.

In this case, image generation and editing AI is a tool which we managed just fine with until three years ago, and where the economic value of that tool remains extremely questionable despite it being a remarkable improvement in the state of the art.

As a propaganda tool it seems quite effective, but for that it's gone from "woo free-speech" to "oh no epistemic collapse".

Too bad it's over. Great show.

This is a US or local problem primarily. At least where I live there is a law in place requiring public ev chargers to be available with credit card payments and are forbidden from needing users to subscribe.

I never had problems with them, just avoid having lose cables. Mine works pretty much unattended in a 110sqm flat, just need to fill the water tank and empty the waste water every 4-5 days.
