I wonder if it's the change in the trend rather than the change in the state. My great grandparents came to the US as immigrants with zero wealth in the early 1900's. My grandparents were children during the depression, lived thei

Stupid shower thought of the day: a block chain for fan fiction "canon", where the community maintains an official consensus of which AI-generated episodes are canonical and in what order, that then gets fed into the AI as input t

Sure, but notice the trend toward prompt engineering and curation... for a show with a big fandom like Star Trek, you could end up with a whole community working on steering the algorithm, generating episodes, rating/up-voting their fa

It's mentioned in the article, but I'm pointing out because I think it's really cool - FPrime, the JPL flight software framework used on (among other things) the Ingenuity Mars helicopter, is open source: https://

I saw this commend as [dead] and vouched for it, but you should realize that the gripe about "hnews does not like politics" is counter-productive. I do agree that it's on-topic in this particular thread to have a discussion a

Personally, I'd be glad to pay to "fix" this but it doesn't seem to be an option. I pay for YouTube premium, for example, so that I and my kids (especially) aren't constantly bombarded by ads. Taking that option doe

For someone who knows next to nothing about pianos: If I (or perhaps my children) want to learn/play the piano today, what are the benefits of having a real piano at home vs an electronic keyboard? It seems to me that a low-end/&q

I'm certainly in the target audience for this. Nice work! Here's a feature request: make it easy for me to import/dump stuff from the other methods that I've tried to use to store things I'm interested in. For examp

I'm very impressed by this. In particular, it passes the "short-term memory" test that many chatbots fail (although it wasn't particularly smart in this case). I assume the continuity comes from passing the entire conver

The parent did say "subjectively", but I think there's a case to be made that this is even objectively true: A pound of food carried inside your stomach is located very close to your body's unloaded center of mass. That

I don't see it as "resisting" or trying to go "back". Maybe I'm out of touch, but back when I was in school it was starting to be accepted that both (a) industrialization, globalization, and technological progr

It's all relative, right? It doesn't get cold enough to build a snowman, but it gets cold enough to make a 5 year old shiver in a swimming pool.

These are subtly nightmarish to me, especially the first. The beauty of such ornate mosaics (in the real world) is the clean, symmetric geometry. Ironically, that's the sort of thing you might naively think a computer could be especial

I actually got real evidence for this recently. I used to do regular strength training, but when my second child was born I stopped for about 2 years. I had also been doing occasional (1-3x/yr) DEXA scans to check my body composition.
