I mean, we could just give up and go back into the swamps that we crawled out off millions of years ago. But I'd rather have more clean power come online. Energy is EVERYTHING.

Have you tried lifting weights (different pace than HIT)?

Which one? Claude (and to some extent, Codex) are the only ones which actually work when it comes to code. Also, they need context (like docs, skills, etc) to be effective. For example: https://github.com/johnrogers/cla

Aren't their salaries and standard of living up a lot - higher than even places like Mexico? Or are all the videos of modern China on YouTube CGI/AI state propaganda? Also, South Korean TVs are cheap, too. Also slave labor?

Humans have been eating eggs for approximately 6 million years, a few years more than bonbons...

by cpursley 10mo ago
Our hunter gather ancestors ate eggs when they could find them, probably often uncooked. What they generally didn't come across were trees full of snickers bars, coke and Wonder Bread.

Please don't steam veggies, it turned several generations off of them. But you are correct :)

Sometimes I wonder if the literal goal of these goofy financial instruments is to crash the economy...

Kefir is amazing! My breakfast is now a Kefir shake with a half a ripe banana (those two work together), handful of frozen quality strawberries or blueberries, scoop of no-sugar added peanut butter and a pinch of salt. https://en

Stick with this list and kick the refined carbs, limit even whole grains and no sugar (including most alcohol) and it's actually difficult to be over 15% body fat even if you overeat all the rest (assuming no hormonal issues, that can

If you’re talking about the corporate landlords, yeah. But the real issue is we’re not creating enough housing of the correct type in the US (like missing middle). Only choices are either McMansions or “luxury” apartments that are made from

I don’t think it was entitlement, but enthusiasm about brands (hobbyists tend to get that way).

Where was this? Because that's not true in the US, land of the personal injury attorney. My brother used to be a machine salesperson. He got a call from a law firm couple years after his company sold a machine asking about a particular

HN sure does like beating up on folks in the Southern US by painting us all with the same brush, it's the worst kind of ugly.

Yeah, exactly. Go price the equipment it takes to rig out a new upstart plumbing biz (trunk/van, all the hardware, insurance, etc). Startup web businesses is insanely cheap, even with a couple grand on a domain.

I was shocked by this in rural Spain as well. Just tons of high citrus and olives rotting on trees because their harvest can't be done mechanically.

If you’re in software dev or frequent hn, how have you not heard of Phoenix? It is consistently voted as most loved web framework.

This is poorly informed, it’s quite easy to get a visa to Russia. Easier than many other countries, actually. Just follow the laws and use common sense (same rule applies when you are traveler anywhere) and you will be fine. Don't beli

I think Bulgarian is considered the easiest Slavic language in terms of grammar because it has a simplified case system similar to how English dropped its cases over time.

You don’t believe the recent economic numbers? I’m not disagreeing with you, just curious about other takes (and generally very skeptical of funny money printer go burrr economic things vs real economy meaning real output).

That's positive news, but I'm talking about oil - which is still needed for modern industrial economies (plastics, diesel, etc).

by cpursley 10mo ago
Yep - just look at their oil/energy situation: they still buy it by the boatload from you know who, but just through 3rd parties.

That's neat, using Apple Foundation Models or something else? I'm very curious about how it's determining folder matches (I need to do something for images that are already classified/tagged via FastVLM) in iOS.

And that's more of the "propaganda narrative" (google that term) getting pounded at us from all channels over the past several years. It's so 1984 - remember when we were told they were growing too much and getting overp
