A chap I worked with years ago had his wife cook us some food for a week or so, and brought it into work each day in little plastic tubs. Lentil curry, chickpea curry, all sorts of vegetarian food, and it was amazing. One was even a soya-ch

As Shank said, there needs to be a GPT element to voice assistants. At the moment, Alexa is a voice interface, but is "dumb" essentially, there's no understanding, intonation, memory, etc. A voice assistant that would would b

Lunar looks like it's quite extensive. (And the website looks great!) How much work have you put into it, over what period, if you don't mind me asking?

We're just a small island nation. Nobody needs to concern themselves with us. They have nothing to fear. What could we do? We're so small.

In my experience, I only had my car activate this once in 8 years. I was on the M6, and it was slowing down, I changed lane and start slowing, and somehow just miscalculated, and was still going 10 mph when the other car was stopped. I was

Sure. Survivorship bias is a thing. But for every billionaire, there are likely thousands of millionaires, and for every millionaire there are likely thousands of financially comfortable people. Some people give up before start, and I see t

Mindsets can change though, and sometimes seeing how successful people think, how they act, what they read, can help adjust your own mindset. If you're a debbie downer, death-to-capitalists, anti-entrepreneur, then no books will likely

Lots of people don't realise just how much time kids take up, especially as single parents, and in the UK, how much space is at a premium. Cupboards are a luxury, let alone space for home gyms.

I'd say that we shouldn't disregard easier targets. In the UK we have this "five a day" campaign, to eat 5 unique pieces of fruit or veg a day. If someone said they were going to eat an apple every day and we said no, do

For those using VSCode but who found the stock Nord to be a little too light, and a little too blue, I found a modified extension that has variations. I've used a specific theme for a decade now, so changing is difficult, but I'm

People don't vote for PMs though. I see this discussion elsewhere, didn't really expect it on HN where folks are generally well educated.

It's an extension of "if you can't, teach" I think. Perhaps there's a second verse to it, like with "Jack of all trades, often better than master of none". If you can't, teach, and if you can't d

It's not surprising though, who would really want to go into politics, in a country where no matter what you do, you'll have almost half the populace hating you? Anyone who has the skills to do well in politics could do well in bu

As someone who has used copilot since the early beta days, what I think people are saying is that nobody uses Copilot to generate full functions like this. It's more of an intelligent auto complete. It's fantastic for repetitive a

They address more than just double spend attacks, but also ownership and control. Without a private key, in a protocol where every transaction must be signed, no changes can be made to a ledger where balances are associated with correspondi

People under-estimate the effort that took. I ran guilds & raids for years, and getting 25-50 people to be motivated, on time, follow doctrine, train, perform, and be available over a schedule, without any pay, that takes something that

Ah, thanks. Wasn't bait, I'm just a bit too old in the tooth to be involved in modern-day interview culture. (The interviews I conduct are far more relaxed, personal, and practical.)

I think there needs to be a few things solved: 1. The lenses. Fresnel lens are a pain, if you aren't dead centre of the headset slips because of sweat, you get blurriness. 2. The weight. I have a Quest 2, and while light, it's sti

Whining? I'm hardly the one getting upset here. Taxes are punitive when they're greater for some people than others. Not only is the absolute value paid much great, but so too is the relative amount. We're all paying into a p

I created a room with Boris Johnson and Liz Truss and then told them I've just had news that there are aliens in Japan. That was a very confusing 10 minutes.
