Interesting idea. I've actually seen similar things over the years, even as early as 2006. Unfortunately these cute little kinds of things usually generate a bit of buzz but then die out. Hope it grows well for you though. PS: not a fa

Agree on the rendering speed, I was working on some experimental visualizers in LOVE which drew lots of individual pixels. I ended up having to rewrite a bunch of it in shader language to get decent FPS. This might be true with other framew

Yep, I supervise whenever possible. Also, we use NewPipe with comments and recommendations disabled. I just let him choose from a playlist of pre-approved videos.

Although not really a hobby tunneler, one of my favorite people on this list is William John Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck, the reclusive 5th Duke of Portland who built an extensive series of tunnels under his estate. His life is fascinating. Re

Some more brainstorming: === "Support Void", "Voiding", "Customer Voiding" Tossing all customer support requests (and sometimes customers themselves!) into the void. Pros: Sounds snappy and dramatic. Has humoro

I remember seeing a documentary way back in 2000 about the internet that said something like "the internet is freely accessible now, but some people believe eventually pay walls will begin to block access to more and more portions of t

To offer a counter opinion: I agree that it makes it difficult to read and serves no real purpose, but I actually kinda like it. It reminds me of the golden ages of the early net, when everybody had their own website, all with questionable

I liked how the Hard Fork Podcast compared it to Wikipedia. When Wikipedia first came out, people were up in arms about how dangerous and untrustworthy it was. Wikipedia is going to ruin society with widespread misinformation! Then we adapt

I wish he would stick to the historical content. These days there's too much discussion of modern issues. I guess that's fine, but not what I personally want from the podcast. Also, the guests can be pretty hit-or-miss. Some are g

I agree. In addition to your theory, I think that even if protests are ineffective in the short term, they can be effective in the long term. That is, the media attention given to protests can gradually change people's thinking. But it

I'm the opposite. I want to like it, but it hurts my eyes to read.

I was going to comment that that the contrast between the beautiful illustrations and red blood that violently explodes when you kill the opponent is pretty funny. But then I looked up the original Jump 'n Bump and it's just as go

"Anime style" seems to be a decent compromise that is easily understood by most people, even if technically incorrect. AFAIK a similar term is often used in Japan: "アニメ風イラスト" (Anime style Illustration)

It's funny, I've noticed that this seems to be a common sentiment among the HN crowd. Maybe spending so much time with tech has made us more aware of its downsides.

Interesting story, but if this story was supposed to portray Bezos as a "perfectly ordinary everyday dude", it certainly didn't give me that impression.

Common misconception. Japan can be very trashy, especially in big cities. It doesn't help that the government doesn't put public trash bins anywhere, supposedly because they're scared of terrorists putting bombs in them. Even

I don't think algorithms have to be bad, there's still room for experimentation with algorithms that don't just "maximize for engagement". I'd love a platform where I could customize my own discovery algorithm.

The Good + The 3D animation is cool. + The concept is intriguing. The Bad - The AI-generated story can be interesting but tends to be pretty repetitive, often getting stuck in a feedback loop that doesn't make any substantial progress.

When I was a kid I loved these ski maps almost more than skiing itself. I would take them home and enjoy carefully looking at all the details. Never considered the man behind the maps until now.

I'm curious what these problems are. The only problem I've had with venv is that sometimes I forget to activate it. As the article says, I think these days it's pretty safe to just use Python's built-in venv and stay awa

Yes. The real danger of AI tools is people overestimating them, not underestimating them. We are not in danger of AI developing intelligence, we are in danger of humans putting them in charge of making decisions they really shouldn't b

Some highrises are advertised as long-lasting, for example with "200 year concrete" and so on.[0] However, I think this is mostly marketing fluff -- if a company thinks they can make more money by tearing down a highrise and build
