"Gatlinburg is a bizarre theme park of a town..", he does have a point about Gatlinburg, it's a strange place. Imagine a touristy beach town, like Daytona Beach FL in the 80s before they kicked out the spring breakers, but sm

amateur liquid bi-prop rocket engines for the High Power Rocketry hobby are gaining momentum. There's lot of opportunity there for performance profiling and even more if you have access to a machine tools like CNC lathes. There's

Posts like this from the HN community are almost surreal. Any review of the actual deal would show a two week ceasefire in exchange for the strait being open and safe while negotiations continue. This 10 point plan is just a place to start

Jfc the US didn’t agree to any of that. Read the news ffs.

I wouldn’t worry, that’s a sure thing. Next on Trump’s list is Cuba. He has to do these things now because after the midterms it’s just going to be investigations and impeachment for two years. Then the Democrats lose again because who care

Gas won’t be any cheaper. While gas prices rise by the hour they take months to ever so slowly go down.

yeah i really want to try and make something like this. I was thinking of getting some spraypaint and making it look like part of it had been tagged with graffiti. Maybe one edge is broken so it looks like something I just found. I don&#x27

oh wow that takes me back. I remember touring, i think it was Texas A&M, in HS and they showed off their "concrete canoe" to the group. This would have been in the late 1900s.. 1995 or around there.

late checking in on the conversation. I agree with you to a degree but it's better than the rage bait online. Also, with a physical piece of paper you can reach the end, it doesn't scroll forever. I was subscribed to the paper ws

is it possible to dial down the "intelligence" to up the user capacity? AFAIK the neural net is either loaded and available or it isn't. I can see turning off instances of the model to save on compute but that wouldn't d

True, you can understand an ICE engine all the way down to the chemistry if you so chose. An LLM isn't even understood by its inventors so users have no chance to understand it even if they wanted to.

You can still read print media like WAPO, NYT, or WSJ. Stay away from opinion and editorial sections and you'll still be informed about what matters but not manipulated so much that it gives you anxiety.

they said "teacher" but also mention writing grants. A high school teacher isn't writing grants, their wife could be bringing in a lot more than the typical teacher.
