To save you the clickbait: the 1000-year old technology is screen printing and they use polyurethane to make wearable electronics. The whole article is actually a sales pitch for their Kickstarter.

In a way they are opt-in, as in you opt in by using Ubuntu and opt out by using something else.

This is a good reminder that regardless of what country you hail from, freedom and liberty are like love — continuous activities that you do every day, not something that you achieve once and then you're done. There will always be thos

Adding a runway to an existing airport is relatively low risk and comparatively cheaper than building a new major airport altogether. Anyone considering the latter will surely look at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport [0], which ran roughly €4

After toying around with the TTS model it seems incredibly nondeterministic. Running the same input with the same parameters can have widely different results, some really good, others downright bad. The tone, intonation and character all v

Yeah, that's both odd and very unfortunate, it seems incredibly nondeterministic. Even running this with the same exact parameters over and over gives widely different results.

Recommended input for anyone trying this out: Voice: Onyx Vibe: Heavy german accent, doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, way over the top for comedic effect. Deep booming voice, uses pauses for dramatic effect.

You can still write class-based components in React, no problem. It might not be in vogue, but for the most part, you can still write React 18.x roughly the same way you wrote React 0.x.

Maybe this is just an urban legend, but I recall hearing that the reason Patagonia stuck to its roots so strongly is exactly because of what happened to North Face after the original owners sold the company. It turned into just another fast

This sounds highly unlikely, as it would drastically hurt the sales of adjacent devices and accessories. In my opinion, the most likely outcome is the Apple regular, where they release docs, but the docs are so bad that they're practic

If you have an O-1 visa, your significant other can get an O-3, which allows them to join you, but not work. Their whole presence is tied to your visa, if you lose your O-1, they lose their O-3 too. I was looking into getting an O-1 at one

The O-1 visa is appealing otherwise, but the fact that it doesn't give your spouse a right to work is an absolute no starter as far as I'm concerned. So it only really makes sense if you're single or if your other half qualif

In a way that makes sense though, once you're at a level where you can not only write Ruby, but write books about Ruby, surely very few things would astonish you.

HN doesn't support tagging users, if something is off, you can use the flag button or send an email.

I'm assuming there's a mixup here with what you take the word "generation" to mean? A generation is generally all the people of a rough age group, so your parents and your spouse's parents are from the same generati

This is a common phenomenon, but I forget what it's called. Everyone thinks the golden age of whatever was when they grew up with it and it's never been quite the same ever since. Doesn't make it true though.

Assuming four generations attend, that would work out to over four kids per couple. Older generations often had a lot of kids, but that still sounds like a pretty high number to me. First gen: 1 person, plus 1 spouse, for 2 people. Second g

This sounds odd, how does someone even have 140-160 relatives who are alive?

Netflix shows ads to paying customers. We've seen the same playbook across a wide variety of products and services, it's only a matter of time until paying users get milked too.

I don't think those statements are contradictory at all. Making the thing is getting more expensive, but using it is getting cheaper. Electric cars could be a good analogy here, compared to an ICE, the upfront cost is higher, but once

If your users need to resort to HN comments (or Twitter or Reddit or etc) to get a support issue fixed, something is definitely wrong with the pipeline. How many of your users out there have issues, but do not happen to see a random comment

> Does NPM cache all versions it ever distributed? Yes it does, that's the whole point. You can still go and install the first version of express ever put on npm from 12 years ago. You can also install any of the 282 releases of it

This argument makes no sense. Your dependencies don't change unless you change them, npm doesn't magically update things underneath you. Things can break when you try to update one thing or another, yes, but if you just take an ol

That's an issue with the packages themselves though, not with package management as a whole. You and the comment above you are talking about different things. While there's plenty of pain to be had with npm, if you have a project

For me, the main question in this context would be whether the decisions are better informed or they just feel better informed. I regularly get LLMs to lie to me in my areas of expertise, but there I have the benefit that I can usually snif

The experiment came first, all the rest of it came after to try and figure out why the results are as weird as they are.

Please don't litter HN with LLM generated slop. The value of HN lies in the human discussion, everyone here is capable of asking an LLM about it.

I think transmission losses are exactly the point? Locally, the losses are practically zero, the further you need to push it, the more significant various losses become. If you could line up someone's production to someone else nearby
