Yeah, the sensor watch [0] also mentioned in another comment re-uses the original screen. [0] https://www.sensorwatch.net/

I don't know if it's that weird. The design of the Deepsea Challenger (in 2012) looks similar to me: a tiny habitable sphere surmounted by a much larger vehicle on top. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepsea_Ch

I wonder which animal has the widest depth range. Some of the deepest sea creatures would not survive being brought to the surface.

I can't access the article, but how much of the collapse is due to the pandemic and its consequences? I remember visiting a maternity in Berlin, where they had a chart showing births by year in that hospital since its inception. I was

Well done! Can you expand on what this means? "we can just patch our binary with the appropriate opcodes"

It reminds me of this anecdote [0]: An example is Singapore Airlines' former New York to Singapore flight, which could carry only 100 passengers (all business class) on the 10,300-mile (16,600 km) flight. According to an industry analy

Thanks for sharing. A person close to me was in this exact same situation. Her doctor prescribed benzos for years, and it ruined her life. Not only this, but other doctors flat out denied that her symptoms were being caused by withdrawal. P

Yes, but the conversation was in the context of self-medicating.

Conversely, after I'm done with a mundane but supremely boring task like filing taxes, I fail to experience any reward. This makes it just as hard to complete the task the next time. I know it will provide me no satisfaction. It's

Oh, I see. I thought of MacOS installed on the internal drive, supported by an external drive for extra storage. Thanks.

So you're answering my question here with a no? "Is it realistic to have an external drive for photos that integrates seamlessly with the native Photos app?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34413791

I was looking to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 3, and I could not get a better screen resolution than 1920 x 1200. I just checked and 3840 x 2400 is now available. They may have had supply chain issues. But it's too late for me. Also,

What really pushed me towards Apple is that Lenovo offers a very limited set of configurations to us Europeans. No way to get the best machine from them, even if we're willing to pay for it.

As a counterpoint, I had to switch to Chrome because: a) Google Meets was unreliable on Safari; b) the search in Safari is terrible (in one instance it could not find a word that other browsers would).

In both cases, I would pass a similar subjective judgment. Both pilots made a series of mistakes, but such mistakes are made every day, most often without consequence. However, both ultimately saved their plane when it mattered, thanks to e

Lucky you! I could only afford a 486 DX/33, but at least I splurged for 230 MB of hard drive.

A friend (in France) recently had to walk into a branch to declare a stolen check book (couldn't do it online). While the branch was open, it was physically closed and you could only get in with an appointment. He had to negotiate and

I'm reminded of the render algorithm in Comanche, the 1992 video game [0]. I find it remarkably ingenious, and it certainly felt incredible at the time. [0] https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace

Good question. I think my ears usually get physically tired before I get to that point... However, on the downsides, it can turn into an earworm in the evening. Or the rest of the day can feel depressingly bland compared to the emotional el

This is also how I fall asleep. I need to find the right podcast; not too boring but not too exciting either.

Music works for me if: a) it's without words, and b) I know inside out. For a long time it was Beethoven's fifth symphony :) Music also works for me by triggering an emotional state that helps me focus.

They're not wrong. When a prospective client asks us if we do AI, we have to say yes, otherwise we will lose them on the spot. At least in this case it's not really wrong (we do machine learning).
