For what it’s worth, it turns out a most of our humidity is from corn fields, not our lakes. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/07/22/feeling-sweaty-minn... It’d be nice if they could genetically modify

Isn’t the real problem on that from that no company will put up funds to do the trials since they aren’t patentable at this point? That said, I feel like there should absolutely be an almost automatic approval for stuff sold in multiple oth

They didn't 'rob them of their land.' The word "Palestinian" used to refer to jews. Obviously it's all a bit complicated but a lot of people seem to have the idea that Israel was created out of whole cloth. T

I mean, a Godox V1 is $200. The Profoto A1 is $1,100. They're very comparable apart from price. I have 6 Godox speedlights of different tiers and only one broke, apart from some screws that just needed to have some Loctite put on th

Broncolor is expensive just because they're old and entrenched, and some people are always in the mindset that more expensive must equal better. If reliability is a concern, you can easily buy multiple Godox units of approximately the

So basically let them attack Israel as much as they want, and Israel is only allowed to defend? That's like having a sibling that's allowed to punch, prod, and poke you as much as they want. If you don't hit back your life w

I’m guessing it was just the author, but as someone who has done portraits in a food production facility…it’s not easy. I was using off camera lights but finding a backdrop that isn’t insanely busy, balancing that with the terrible overhead

This comment is really odd to see on HN. It’s like if a group of computer enthusiasts (in person) had a guy saying “I don’t understand what the big deal is with this so-called internet.”

There are two possibilities- one is what the PC largely did. Nobody really lost their jobs even though one accountant can do the work of 40 that just had calculators. We can just do “more” now. On the other hand there’s what the washing mac

It’s insane to say generative AI has zero demonstrated value. I use it every day.

That's insane. The archive link isn't working for me so I can't read the article, but we received a letter that any long term prescriptions might need to go through Optum and that we'd only be able to fill a few at a lo

My wife and I got some brussels sprouts recently that tasted exactly how I remember them as a kid. We both noticed it immediately and my daughter refused to eat them (when she normally loves them). So while that may be true, it’s absolutely

Sperm counts have been dripping precipitously, even when you control for BMI and other factors. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence it’s occurred at the same time as many people deciding they don’t want children along with a bunch of other p

Luke’s entire characterization in the original movies was that he’d do anything for her friends and that he believed in his father. In the sequels he plans on doing nothing for anyone (especially his friends) and doesn’t believe in his neph

I had a toy poodle growing up that would often know what I was going to do before I did. He also growled at my girlfriend for the only time around when she started cheating on me. Maybe coincidental, but it was the only time I ever recall h

SD would probably be a lot better if they didn't have to make sure it worked on consumer GPUs. Maybe this announcement is a step towards that where the best model will only be able to be accessed by most using a paid service.

That's not even necessarily a bad thing (as a whole - individually it can be). Now, any leaked nudes can be claimed to be AI. That'll probably save far more grief than it causes.

It's really unfortunate that Silicon Valley ended up in an area that's so far left - and to be clear, it'd be just as bad if it was in a far right area too. Purple would have been nice, to keep people in check. 'Safety

As far as Stable Diffusion goes - when the released SD 2.1/XL/Stable Cascade, you couldn't even make a (woman's) nipple. I don't use them for porn like a lot of people seem too, but it seems weird to me that somethi

I had a higher end TCL Roku TV that was pretty nice, actually. I know I used one at a rental unit that was an absolute piece of junk - I’m a little surprised they didn’t have the thought to make two separate brands.

It’s moderated for quality, not opinions. That’s what people complain about (and I haven’t seen done elsewhere).

Part of the forms you sign when you do IVF is detailing what should happen to the embryos if you both of you die, in fact. From what I recall the options were to destroy them, donate them (to couples wanting to conceive), or pass on the ow

As someone that's gone through IVF, I don't feel I really disagree with this ruling as a whole. Sure, they aren't children yet, but wrongful death still fits. For those that don't know, IVF is an arduous (and expensive
