   I like to watch mindless things and giggle after a full day of working and frying my brain. Sometimes it isn't any deeper than that. I don't understand these misanthropic rants that come out of the HN crowd any time someone even h

   I think they're rather offended by the diminishing title (although I personally didn't read it that way).

   This makes me wonder: How many Instagram influencers are there in total? What is the percentage of influencers in the entire population of (active) users? At some point it's just influencers influencing each other, right?

   I might be mistaken, but the reason we don't see offline recognition (amongst other things) is hardware limitations, not the lack of training data. The small onboard chip doesn't have that much compute power, so they offload to mo

   I wouldn't say hyperbolic as much as irrelevant. What does the ability to hack DNA have to do with having my complete genome? So you'll have a Petri dish full of cells with my DNA + malware? Then what? (I realize 100% that I'

   Off-topic, but this was my first time hearing about Exodus and I spent quite a bit of time on there. How is it possible that Facebook has zero trackers? https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/71538/

    Also worth noting the EWG's reports have been questioned in the past for their bias. Heck, even the type of report this article mentions is commonly criticized: https://www.accountablescience.com/how-dirty-are-your-frui

    I'm confused, you start with no but then basically validate what I said? Sure, in the case of this study health might be the only relevant one if they were only shown photos of the subjects and nothing else to quantify "beauty&quo

    I don't think you understand that my argument wasn't necessarily contrary to yours, just stating that it's certainly easier to learn a language than it is to not be blind. Both of which are unfair expectations to thrust upon

    From the paper: > It appears that more beautiful workers earn more, not because they are beautiful, but because they are healthier, more intelligent, and have better (more Conscientious and Extraverted, and less Neurotic) personality. Bu

    OpenCollective's method of emailing you a link that sets a 30 day cookie is a pain for me as I have to be logged into my email on another tab and it seems very insecure to me.

    Slightly off topic, but I noticed it in the article. You can run "wc" directly, you don't need to pipe from cat. Especially since cat on any sufficiently large file takes quite a while.
