Most of these look very good! Signs, text, clocks, number plates, and girders or spindly branches tend to go wrong. There are a few mutant hands [0]. Mountain Sheep in Snow [1] looks fake to me - the sheep are more like dogs fading back t

All of these are common in NZ ("twaddle" is a bit old-fashioned). I had no idea "nonsense" was supposedly regional, and four dictionaries I just checked make no mention of that (and include American sources of quotes).

Depends where in space. From the article: "the International Space Station orbits within the Earth’s magnetic field, and so it is exposed to much lower radiation levels than the lunar surface".

It seems to be used both with and without. In the main table with the maps it's not directly after, there's a comma. The ", England" is specifying the country, same as where it says "Yorkshire and the Humber, Engla

I'd just call it the next ferry. If there was an extra boat sent before the next ferry was due, that could be a rescue mission (or just a replacement boat).

Kind of the opposite. I had heard of it happening, so looked for evidence, and found that HN post asking for evidence, with that random post seemingly the only bit supplied.

You should never completely trust any LLM. They all get things wrong, make things up, and have blind spots. They're any good if they help you for some of your particular uses (but may still fail badly for other uses).

BogoMIPS : 0.00 Very impressive project. Recording it with a phone seems complicated though. Why not a Raspberry Pi with camera module? Or a decent webcam and any computer?

I think you've misunderstood - there are no robots in my proposal. You use this sensor as a key, then touch it with your finger, and it can detect force and directionality. Put together a grid of these sensors and you've got an

You can have multiple keyboard layouts installed, and it takes a fraction of a second to switch with a shortcut key (on Windows it's Win-space). I have a Māori keyboard layout installed on my work computer, but I only switch into it t

The ō is an o with a macron. It's pretty easy to install a keyboard layout that supports it: https://kupu.maori.nz/about/macrons-keyboard-setup . Many mobile keyboards support it by default with long presses to p

This seems like it would be really useful for electronic musical instruments. E.g. Linnstrument ( https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument ) which uses a grid of force sensing resistor strips. Do these sensors interfere
