In my morning haze, I forgot to mention that pretty much exclusively use the General Assistant bot on Poe's platform. I might muck around with other bots out of boredom, but I find the Assistant to be fine for my minimal needs. That sa

This annoys me, as well, when web services do this, but I did sign up out of curiosity back when I was looking for some easy-access AI to play with and learn. In my relatively uninformed opinion, Poe offers just that. I wasn't so much

I love HN but you are right, and I feel like I can never mention the language I use at my job the most because I'd get the same unsolicited replies about how every other users' preferred language is better than mine. I wish that

I'm a new-comer to the genres, myself, despite my age. For some reason the D&B/trances/technos scene never clicked with me back in my metal days, but it fills a gap that needed filling in my life now. That said, there&#x2

This is a cool resource, Ableton being quite respected and all, but I'm interested in making synths with analog electronics if you have any suggestions in that area. Look Mum No Computer and Music From Outerspace are both fantastic for

Have you heard of smartphones? Not that the fact that we willingly buy surveillance devices (crave them, even) justifies additional police-state BS with delivery drones, of course. Both are bad news couched in very awesome ideas about conve

For those that want to follow, what are good online shopping alternatives? I find that most people I talk to are drawn to Amazon simply because Amazon has managed to set an expectation of fast deliver, often as little as same-day delivery i

We used to call that "curated content." Now it just seems expected.

I think the modern comparison to an advanced computer is far, far more accurate, though. If we look at each of the metaphors used to describe the mind in tje past, they got more sophosticated as time went on, so it stands to reason that the

Hmm, you have me thinking...if these orders don't exist, perhaps they should? The Pragmatic Enshittification Temple does have a nice ring to it.

I agree with you, but we also collectively bought devices with active mics, cameras and a constant internet connection while legal aspects of data privacy were (and still are) a bit of a Wild West, so I'm not sure what anyone expected.

This comment reads like it was written by one of my high school teachers. "You are so capable, you should apply yourself more" is really just the worst thing you can say to a person who is actually enjoying what they do. What prom

This blew my mind as a younger person who took an interest in repairing tube radios from the 30's & 40's. One of the first things I realized was how generally easy it was to find schematics of popular brands and models. Some w

Not Edison, but someone who asked to use his facility. I also believe this test was conducted less for shock & awe, and more for finding a way to quickly kill a death-row inmate. The previous attempts were inhumane, to say the least,

Minecraft took me back to when I played MUSH games. You are presented with a world to inhabit, and there were no rails. You got out what you put into them game, so if you contribute little to the experience, it felt dull and lifeless. This

I live in a motorcycle-heavy US town (blue collar, lots of guys who wish they were 1%ers - the biker outlaw variety, not the rich people variety). It sounds like a warzone during shift change around the industrial districts. Having been nei

Of course I know that happens. Misinformation counts on it, to some degree (among other factors) or it wouldn't have any impact. That said, I also don't support the idea of withholding information then telling people to be afraid

Isn't this a false equivelance fallacy? Genuine question, I am not an expert on fallacies. In any case, would it not be safer to assume the possibility of harmful impact of Chemical X until more concrete data is gathered? Granted, the

I don't realy have any suggestions other than constantly examine how you spend your time, and make adjustments wherd needed. Some examples I can think of are: 1. Try to find ways to combine your exercise time and spending time with you

Agreed. We are what we give our time to, and to those that would "brag" about how many hours a week they work, I ask "so, you are just your job, and nothing more?" When I meet a new person, one of my first questions is w

Having repaired a few CRTs, this whine typically only happens on aged parts. My son can hear it, but I cannot. From what I understand, as the coils move from vibration over time, this whine gets worse, calling for realignment. The odd thing
