By the way, an amphetamine is not a narcotic. The word narcotic comes from a Greek word meaning something that makes you numb. It’s used to refer to opioids. Amphetamine is a stimulant, and not an opioid.

This kind of SIM card worked fine for me to register for several online services in China earlier this year, including a Chinese ride sharing service and online shopping.

I always kind of felt like it would be great to compare all kinds of toilet paper (soft, not soft, 1- 2- 3-ply etc) together based on weight. I feel like I use a lot fewer sheets of thicker toilet paper. So if I could see which was cheapest

> it’s American evangelicals running off to Uganda to stone gays. Is that something that happened? That sounds horrible. Do you have any more info?

The problem we’ve found is that when you get more information, you are more likely to find things that look off somewhere, which may have no real bearing on your actual health but definitely can cause you to have a worse quality of life—whe

I don’t think you fully grasped what I wrote. I didn’t give you an answer from chatgpt. I’m not telling anyone how cool it is. I’ve been here for years and I’m well aware of the level of exposure to LLMs there is for people on HN . I did gi

I looked away, then back, and the effect was gone—but then reappeared after a second or two, only less pronounced.

I wrote 100% of my post myself. There’s no bragging going on. I’m warning people that I learned it from chatgpt so they know it may not be trustworthy. Still in my experience the vast majority of what I learn from ChatGPT/gemini/

Have you ever tried just logging in as firstlast@gmail.com? If it works, with the usual password you use for first.last@gmail.com, it makes me think he has firstlastt@gmail.com or something similar and people sending him emails input it wro

For what it’s worth I just learned this from chatgpt. But the magnet is a superconducting electromagnet, and it’s started up by cooling the superconducter to around 4 Kelvin, and then electricity is turned on, and then once it’s going at th

Once I did 5k running with my son in mostly empty terminals of an airport while on a layover. We were training for a race and didn’t want to miss the day. The 16-17 hour flights from the US to Asia are really hard to manage when you are try

Yes. It does have physical benefit. Here’s a study called “Minimum amount of physical activity for reduced mortality and extended life expectancy: a prospective cohort study” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21846575/ F

Do you have e some evidence for this? I’m looking but having trouble finding any. May you are talking about myocarditis risk during/after influenza infection? Even for that I can’t find anything specifically showing that exercise incre

No experience with a stress fracture of my leg and running. But I know when I had the flu and did a slow easy 1 mile run I felt much better after than before. Same thing happened with Covid.

But exercise along with calorie restriction will keep you from losing muscle mass and so your weight loss will be more from fat. I agree though, no need to train hard during calorie restriction.

Yeah! Please do

Agree. I’ve had the same kinds of experiences, on both sides.

So, other than owebmaster’s message about how this was vibe coded and AIs are replying, there is a single real comment here so far, from sagasu077, maybe. All the rest of the comments have a feel of being written by an LLM and the users mak

Awesome. I was going to say just don’t have a way to like photos, but then I don’t know if that solves the clout-chasing problem.

by fivestones 1y ago
Are you really planning to not allow photos? I understand your reasoning for why this works in places a group chat wouldn’t, and I have group chats that I wish could do what your site does (share things to all my friends but we don’t all ha

Unless I’m remembering wrong, posting a public message on someone else’s profile was posting on their wall. Or was it called something else before it was somebody’s wall?

This looks great! But it says it’s FOSS and that I can host it myself, but the link to GitHub in the docs doesn’t show any repos. Is it somewhere else?
