This is just wrong. You’re commenting on demand while ignoring supply. The Bay doesn’t have any more land (and nimbys tend to prevent new, denser development). This drives prices up. Texas has an absurd amount of empty land. This helps keep

Suppose you use a browser that doesn't even contain a JS engine, like Lynx[1]. You couldn't run the JS even if you wanted to. I don't see how that could be stealing. The site developers should add a better paywall if this is

Yeah totally, but sometimes I just really want that random component right now and RadioShack was there to save the day. They also had stuff for other hobbies like RC cars which Mouser doesn’t really cater to. Mouser also has a sea of cra

I do not understand why this term is offensive. Is it the “illegal” part? Well, it is illegal, so… Is it the “alien” part? Why? Do people think we are comparing people to lanky green invaders? I can’t see this — we have plenty of words with

The Pragmatic Programmer[1] is a classic that reasonably fits your description. > For twenty years, the lessons from The Pragmatic Programmer have helped a generation of programmers examine the very essence of software development, indep

This was a fun watch. Very interesting that so much police gear, from bodycams to tasers, are actually bluetooth beacons. I liked the suggested applications of this knowledge. You could make a device which detects if cops are around and, sa

If I'm using a private window then my password manager logs me in with a single click/tap. Maybe you could benefit from similar usage

Do you use new devices often enough that the login friction makes it not worthwhile? I could only see this being a problem if you're doing a lot of searching from someone else's device. But if you're using someone else's

Funny to see our product on HN. We sell dehydrated dihydrogen monoxide as a health supplement. It’s super convenient - just add water!

I was a Nearlyfreespeech customer for years. I was taking a shower the other day and wondering what happened to them -- turns out, nothing! I should switch back. I love them for their dirt cheap pricing, sure, but also their simplicity. If

Pesticides allow millions of people to not starve to death. A generalized statement like "Pesticides are bad" is simply ridiculous.

Ha, we posted nearly identical comments at nearly the same time. (Sorry, this comment doesn't add anything, but it was too synchronistic to not point out)

Begging for a Micro Center in Austin. They're in Dallas and Houston, so it surprises me we don't have one in the tech capital of the state.

It's a shame what happened to RadioShack. I liked them for hobby components. >Items will include “more end products than the stores have typically sold, focusing more on cellphone products, headphones, batteries and adapters, for in

I would note that all of biology is hacks on top of hacks! Have you seen a human being? They have this useless fucking organ that tends to burst and kill them.

“Perhaps”? Are you suggesting that intelligence is not multi-faceted? What exactly did the user you’re replying to say that is questionable?

Care to share a GPT conversation you’ve had? I’m interested in what sorts of prompts lead you to this opinion. My experience is the opposite.

Excellent anology. LLMs are capable of many extraordinary things, and it’s a shame people dismiss them because they fail to live up to some specific test they invented.

Can someone help me understand this comment thread? It seems really interesting but it is over my head. I can understand simple calculus and linear algebra.

Hey, I'm responding to this a week later on the off chance you'll see it. "You are very much a part of that problem" doesn't sit well with me. > They can’t even always produce functional code without heavy steeri

Wow, this is incredible! I was not expecting it to work on mobile Safari of all things, but it does! The UI is even usable. Audacity is an indispensable utility. It’s great to see it and other “real” software on the web. I’m reminded of Pho

Yeah. Imagine getting drafted and not being allowed to have a cigarette in the field. Outrageous. If I’m an adult at 18, let me make adult decisions.

How about the opportunity cost of people dying because they don’t have access to any treatment? It can be very challenging to find a qualified professional, even if you have the necessary funds, insurance, and determination. LLM mental heal

To me, engineering is about using math and science to solve problems by creating something under complex constraints. To exclude software from the field of engineering is baseless gatekeeping. I don’t care either way. I just call myself a p

Also interesting to see that Texas accounts for nearly 10% of the country’s renewable output, with Illinois at 7% and California at 6%. Texas has a lot of oil fields and windmills.
