This should be the top reply. Thanks for digging into it.

Because it takes a surprisingly small amount of high explosive to cause the kind of damage shown in the footage we’ve seen so far. All it would take is for the battery to be replaced with a combo package - part battery, part explosive. No n

Hmm. That makes sense. Ironic, given the number of times I get up to pee during the night (I'm old).

There is an additional variable here that can result in an unintended phenomenon I call “sprinkler dick”. Occasionally (often after sex but not exclusively), I will be standing to pee and - all other things being equal - my initial stream w

Are there any alternatives for which these criticisms don’t apply? I use both MS Office and Libre Office and your point applies to both. I guess almost four decades of the same UI paradigm for such an incredibly widely used software categor

This is a cool but ultimately useless pedal for guitarists, for whom precise control over individual expressions is valued above the utility of an all-in-one pedal which would be too easy to accidentally trigger unexpected expressions in th

I’m going to say this in the small hope that you may consider the possibility. If what you say is true then there are people who can control others minds, thoughts, emotions and physiology. Therefore, for each one of us - including you - t

There is no ‘they’ here. The voices in your head - as radically different as they may seem from the voice you identify with as you - are still you.

But the restriction exists and is known before you buy the device. The market offers alternatives. When buyers choose an iPhone or Samsung phone ahead of a Fairphone they are choosing among different trade-offs. For myself I’ve chosen an iP

Many rights holders would have different views of what's moral here. I kind of feel like I repeatedly observe a bit of cognitive dissonance among some users on HN (not suggesting josephcsible is). There's often a lot of discussion

by phs318u 2y ago
I did not expect this take on HN. Some folks want a portable but powerful machine that can run e.g. multiple VMs, Docker, Kubernetes or perhaps large local AI models. All of these things need plenty of RAM. And please don't respond wit

Perfectly reasonable to have a position opposing digital ID, however to this outsider, the US seems to be quite happily using other stepping-stones to head in the same direction.

I'm not sure you appreciate that your solution is just as absolutist as the proposed ban. You're just banning a different thing. I've raised two girls to adulthood (now in their mid-20s). When they were at high school, it was

I wouldn't say that PhD's aren't relevant. Remember a lot of this subsequent "bumps, steps and leaps" advancement has come _after_ the initial work by the OpenAI's etc. "Standing on the shoulders of giants

+1 for Etymotics, though I cheaped out and got the non-custom molded ones. But excellent for gigs. Which reminds me - I need to dig mine out for the Iron Maiden gig tonight.

So actually widening the moat between the behemoths that can easily step across it, and the startups for whom staying alive long enough to gain a following is a struggle in and of itself.

Disagree. It's when the mimicry fails and the executor is forced to think about why and then draws a new conclusion - that right there is learning and is what eventually leads to mastery.
