This is the "top 1,000,000 web sites", which is going to represent the majority if not all of the average user's experience of the internet. How much is "not everything"? I do tend to have some annoyances with the s

Ahhh I was looking for something like that! Good find. So, even worse than imagined... it's an ambiguous standard blamed for a bad implementation of that standard.

As far as I can tell, this isn't an issue with the specific database itself, but the standard they are required to record geographic data in, which the end of the article mentions as "BS 7666". https://www.agi.org.

so, I thought there was some esoteric weirdness in the spec'd Javascript regex engine that made HADC0FFEE somehow match /^[0-9A-F]+$/i. Then the joke kinda makes sense right? I do need coffee to work with JS most of the time

I would love to mess around with this if you've published it somewhere! Folks would love it as a Show HN I bet too!

Everyone is really attached to having the AI equivalent of the "iPhone Moment", but I think we already had it. It was just spread out over multiple products, from multiple companies, over the past few years. There's obviously

I feel similarly hopeful actually! I think people do seem generally annoyed by the scroll wheel, but I think that's just a bad implementation in this case. I don't think that means that all physical controls (meaning: not a touch

I love this. Lovely work! I had done something similar a few years ago for an edtech company I was working at. [0] It uses threejs and tries to "bake" the particle animation before trying to play it, but I don't think it ever

Sadly, the demo does require scissors and a colour printer/coloured markers to experience fully.

Ahhh that makes sense, I think I was imagining just a breath freshener since that's the most common form of "thing you spritz in your mouth". Definitely worth including on the site that it's for brushing with, not just s

Congrats on the launch! Though I'm curious about the claim that it "replaces your toothpaste". Isn't the abrasive act of brushing, with the toothpaste, the main reason why tooth brushing is useful? I feel like just sprit

That's a good point, it's easy to get stuck in the mindset that the current moment describes the future. At least life is interesting, I'll come along for the ride

I do think people tend to overblow things because of generational miscommunication. But... I'm 25, and won't be owning a home anytime soon. And not for lack of trying! In Canada, there's a first time homebuyers saving account

Using the name « horizon » without showing Horizon Worlds at all definitely hints at Horizon Worlds being a side social feature of the Horizon OS, versus this being an OS specifically FOR the horizon worlds metaverse. Meta/Facebook rea

I really want some good VR train sims. It’s vaguely educational! A standalone quest train sim would be an instant buy for me. Probably not for many other people.

This is really neat! But if I can make a suggestion, a good and interesting explanation should use a strong analogy. A story wrapped around the explanation doesn’t do as much to help with understanding Check out Code by Charles Petzold for

Occam’s razor, do you think there was anything dissuading people from officially recording themselves as being gay in the 1950s? What about the 1980s? It’s worth looking at large societal trends from a lens of skepticism, I agree with you t

Posting a "Show HN" takes a lot of guts. It's not a product a company is pitching to you, it's something cool that someone made and wants to show.

How much will AI generated video cost per minute? Not from Adobe, just generally, where it's obtainable. There's a good scam if you can automate video generation and pass it to Adobe. Them setting a price of AI training video, may

I can get that. There's never a path forward that doesn't leave something on the table. I of course want artistic freedom + technology to advance alongside each other. But we're also talking about MAKING generative AI models.

I think making humans legally special is a good argument though. The whole point of copyright, is to allow artists to be able to generate a little income with exclusive rights to the works they produce. It's not just there because it&#
