The extinction doesn't seem to have happened 50k years ago in North America. That seems to have been made up by whoever wrote the headline. The date of 50k years ago does not seem to appear anywhere in the linked academic paper, does

What is with the "50k" in that headline? The date of 50k years ago does not seem to appear anywhere in the linked academic paper, does not correspond to climate change at the start of the current interglacial, and does not corresp

Pretty sure you're still an hour out, 06:00 instead of 07:00. I gave it a location of Brownsville, Texas, and it's right.

Hm, for me that's counting up and says "Time since Thursday, 6 June 2024 at 7:00:00 a.m. (UTC time)". I think I made a working one: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20240606T07...

Any dyslexic people here? I am not, but I understand mirror images of the same symbol can be problematic, and this alphabet is built out of them.

It isn't faster than cursive. I think even when you're used to it it will be dramatically slower. Except the four vowels, every letter is more intricate, many involve multiple strokes, and most start with or leave your pen on th

It's a false dichotomy because it falsely implies there are only two options. Better than either are the other options which lie in between.

Not in my experience. I have always been able to access the file system, sideload apps, install other app stores (yes they're a bit limited), run any browser, run command line programs, etc. It's also easy to run Android in emul

The same kind of thing for Android, PEP 738: https://peps.python.org/pep-0738/ Supporting a mostly open source OS that's not locked down seems reasonable. Supporting iOS seems a bit strange. The currently support

Also more basic things like whether your feet are touching the pedals, that you're gripping the steering wheel at all, and how much force those things are taking.

Driving without proprioception is probably almost impossible. That's how you know where your hands are, how the steering wheel is turned, where your feet are, how to move your hand to the indicator lever, etc.

Accuracy. Using carbon dating for things that long ago gives you only a rough idea. Counting tree rings is precise, but tree ring chronologies are relative, unless they can be continued to the present or anchored to an event with a known

You need to escape those *s with \ or put spaces around them. This kind of method works much more generally. E.g. 58×33 will be close to 60×30 = 1800, so 58×30 = 1800 - 2×30 = 1740, so 58×33 = 1740+3×58 = 1740+3×60-3×2 = 1740+180-6 = 1940-

I expect it would just blank out the movie window in the screenshots, leaving the rest visible. The way to get privacy is to turn it off or use another OS.

That won't do anything. Desktop images are not protected by DRM, and it's (at least mostly) not visible anyway if you're using the computer.

There are a few past discussions, going back to October 2022. I wonder how out of date the list is now. Ask HN: What were the papers on the list Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3464135
