The ways fatphobia sneaks into society is wild. It’s everywhere. I’m doing a boat certification rn and it’s talking about maximum boat capacity, right? And it gives the equation for determining how many people can safely be aboard…..assuming each passenger weighs 150lbsThat is below the average weight for both males and females in the United States—why is it still the standard if the goal is safety? Do we only care about skinny ppl not drowning???Actually, don’t answer that.

Can an AI learn what you like, rather than just what you've searched for?

I'm a writer who was pondering the problems with getting my work discovered and realized that current search/recommendation engines don't go very deep. So I thought about ways to address this.I was obviously mostly interested in books, so I worked on that first. I'd noticed LLMs are capable of pretty solid textual anaylsis these days, so I wondered if you could use that to generate good recommendations. So I sat down with an LLM- ChatGPT, Luna, for the curious- and spent abou

Show HN: Streamline,recommendations from your watch history on streaming svcs

Streaming apps only recommend from their own catalogue, and only know what you watched on their service. Streamline reads the GDPR data exports from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+ and Max, plus Plex plays, so it has your whole history.How it works: each title is matched on TMDB and gets a short LLM-written description. From the titles you mark as loved, it builds a taste profile. The LLM tags each title once, and code groups them into themes, so the same ratings always give the same pro

Show HN: Wick, a daily word game where you guess by meaning, not spelling

Hello HN!This is the first game I've ever made and I've been hooked on making apps/web apps ever since. At first it was closed-source for the first couple months of its launch, but this week I decided it should be made open-source. My reasoning for this is there are already a lot of games similar to mine that are about guessing a word based on the meaning of the word and narrowing down the secret word; but I added a little twist.The game, "Wick", allows you to both narro

Show HN: What a major earthquake does to Vancouver

About 10 years ago, I attended a presentation by someone who had compiled existing engineering reports to describe the impact of a major earthquake on infrastructure in British Columbia. It was really striking, and it has stayed in the back of my mind ever since.I am now the point of contact for downtown Vancouver in the French community's emergency network, and it drives me nuts that most people I talk to have no emergency kit at home and basically no water.People are shocked, or in denial

Giving the Boat a Little Extra Care Before Storage

Giving the Boat a Little Extra Care Before StorageThere is something satisfying about putting the boat away properly after a good run of fishing trips. The gear is cleaned, the boat is washed down, and the Mercury outboard engines get a little extra attention before everything has a chance to sit unused.For Australian boaters, winterisation is not always about freezing temperatures. Sometimes it simply means preparing the boat for a few quieter months between adventures.A fresh-water flush after

Making the Most of a Weekend on the Water

Making the Most of a Weekend on the WaterThe best fishing trips do not always need a complicated plan. Check the weather, pack the essentials, keep the boat organised and choose a spot that suits the conditions.
