This makes me think maybe I should try to make the jump to a terminal-first way of using computers, i.e. get a laptop that boots to a Linux command line and make that my 'home screen'. Seems like it would force me to stop and thin

Intrigued, could you explain how you would use it so I can understand why you want it to function like this?

It definitely was there in Civ 2, that's the only Civ I've played and I remember the throne room well.

As an OSS contributor I'd love it if GitHub decided to share their profits with me, but I did knowingly contribute my work under free software licences so I don't see myself as having any moral or legal right to that. (If they&#x2

Can anyone tell me how to include images in prompts, or is that feature not actually out yet?

By this logic, all my farts are novel content.

Leaving aside the question of whether that combination of images is novel… In your example, all the proposed novelty is specified in the prompt. ChatGPT didn’t come up with it, you did. > Isn't it pretty much what any person would d

No, because they mean "honest" in the sense of "frank/unguarded", not "truthful".

I think HN automatically removes certain words like "This" and "How" from the start of titles. But this only happens on initial submission - the user who submitted it can then edit the title to fix it if necessary.

People who use powdered food shakes etc. generally do eat other foods too. As for reasons why they include powdered foods in their diet, it is often as a tool for losing weight (replacing other meals), or for bulking up (in addition to othe

Unless I’ve misunderstood, this a quite a big event in the history of the web platform. Apple’s quiet refusal to support this part of the PWA standard has for years been quietly maintaining a significant situation: that if you wanted to mak

Just been scratching my head about this. Then I thought, is it just so they can detect authentic Apple cables and scold you for using an inauthentic one? Because iOS definitely does that. Some kind of challenge/response thing that requ

Yep, these kind of articles are nonsense clickbait. The idea that there’s a special GenZ rule about full stops is bullshit. It’s all just tone and context. If you’re texting someone who evidently likes ending every message with a full stop,

Sync.com is basically Dropbox but with e2e encryption, and about the same price. I switched to it about a year ago and I’ve had no problems at all. I don’t understand why I almost never hear about it on HN. Syncthing might work for some but
