Me too. If I'm writing code or working with my hands, it's more instinctual. I'm not thinking the words "I need to connect this piece here to this piece over here". I'd never get anything done that way. But I w

I agree it's possible to distract yourself with your inner monologue, but I wouldn't say it's due to the volume of your inner voice. I liken it to people who claim they can visualise a photorealistic image right in front of t

People got scared when they started scanning thousands of people's eyeballs in Africa. It didn't matter that Sam Altman had a good explanation for doing it. Because cryptocurrency is involved, it must be bad, right?

At first I thought "why would Elon choose to slow down progress like this?" And then I realized that he probably knows some things that I don't. He's always one step ahead, even if he doesn't seem like it. I wouldn&

I'm going to assume when you say "people don't need people" that you're talking about social contact. My question is: why do you post on HN for others to read? Why not just write your thoughts in a journal and keep

This is an article about pasting one face over the top of another face and using a layer mask to blend it. The only automated parts are the object selection tool, which helps you select the face for copying and pasting, and the match color

We're going to need a new acronym once AGI is taken to mean "a really good LLM", and not, you know, AGI.

You left out an explanation of why it has negative value. This makes your own comment worthless.

I don't know how to feel about this. These are my two favorite people, and likely the two greatest minds the world has ever seen. Every hour they spend in court is an hour they deprive humanity of the value they bring. This is the sadd

Sorry, but why is pdf better than html? If pdf is better, would you prefer every website just downloaded a pdf to your phone when you visit their url, instead of serving you html? If not, why is it different for a restaurant menu?
