This is super fun. I love it. Only suggested for the Lakera guys is to make the text box resizable. It quickly gets hard to manage larger prompts. Or maybe this is some subtle way to throttle their users? Its hard to make a big prompt, so d

+1 to this. Nowadays when I see some "Considered harmful" post on HN its tends to be some dude on his personal blog talking about how in his 2 years of programming experience JS framework X is bad and instead you should use JS fra

How is this more secure? They say "with a fingerprint, a face scan or a screen lock PIN", but basically all phones let you fall back to PINs if you dont want to do face or fingerprints. Pins are flat out not secure - typically jus

I'm fairly sure that by regulation they need to have a manual override just in case the AFTS fails.

All with a much bigger budget & many more people working on it. Oh and it wasn't all success. Apollo 13 was a near miss. Apollo 1 had fatalities. Several other apollo missions has near misses. It was a very high risk operation.

There are 2 problems with this: 1. Voyager was launched at that particular time because a particular alignment of planets (known as the "Grand Tour") allowed for MASSIVE gravity assists that made this mission possible. This alignm

Except for the multiple studies exploring how to build habitats on mars/moon and how to build spacesuits that would function on mars/moon. Listen, I get it. We're not going to have a million person utopian colony on Mars in 2

The same is true for the moon, yet we did that and it lead to important growth & discovery for humanity. Your 100% right that living on Mars right now is going to suck. A lot. As the "man boy" said before, there is a good chan

I would recommend https://www.ufbdirect.com/ . Even higher rates. Still FDIC insured like normal. Doesn't plug into Apple, but has plaid-like integration so you can just log into your other account from UFB and do a tra

A much simpler solution I have seen to this that is _actually_ used in big companies is just relocation bonus paid on start. In short it basically goes 'Company agrees to pay you $X flat for your relocation. You are entitled to do what

Honestly even with this reasoning I still don't understand the BNPL business model. If a person can't afford it from the start how are they going to afford it once interest and fees kick in? Seems like the BNPL providers are payin

Im very curious what religion this is. I havne't been able to find it in any of the linked posts. Does anyone know the real answer (and not the hilarious puns people are making)?

The counterpoint here is that if you view abortion as murder (as many people in US do) then the utilitarian tradeoff is obviously balanced in the wrong direction. Whats worse, 600k murders (via abortion) or tens of thousands of general crim

If I'm a bank why would I want to get X% interest from the Fed when I can instead get X+Y% interest from some other investment option[0]? Yes the risk is higher, but typically only marginally so. Obviously you have big failures like SV

I'm not sure I agree. These aren't satellites like the GPS satellites where each one cost hundreds of millions or billions to make, let alone launch. These are more akin to fancy cube sats where you can mass produce and make them

This smells like BS to me. I've been in similar situations - in a rush I run to a tesla that looks like mine on the street, near where I parked. When I try to open it though I can't I get frustrated for a minute before I realize I
