Is there a general consensus why "AI" isn't helping out a lot for a free software phone? - AI code generation is way over-hyped and is only 1% capable of the feats that the advocates claim. - AI is too expensive to use,

I know we can be all righteous and intellectual on HN. But the article pretty much glosses over the large number of people who are afraid of the dark. Not afraid of crime in the dark. Actual adults who are apparently having a visceral re

If the spatial extent of the proton is not infinite, this would imply that the charged quarks making up the proton are accelerating. Why aren't these quarks then emitting electromagnetic radiation, thus slowing down? I thought electr
