Surprised that generation who named themselves slackers gave birth to kids that also don’t have any vision and take pride in not caring about anything? Also the group is so varied you can’t generalize of what the age group is about. If I th

I appreciate the worry for everyone else. Truly it makes a huge difference in global politics. Like parent I am still surprised how paranoid the US seems. It’s almost like growing up overprotected you become extremely fearful. There is almo

And who would ever even attack the US? Massive military spending and they are isolated from all the potential enemies behind two huge oceans. Average american should worry about civil war or maybe nukes. Nothing else will ever reach them.

I love The Beatles. My favorite band maybe. Yet this year in Grammys the rock awards went to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Makes me sad. Although I can appreciate and consume ”old” culture there is something important in that the cutt

I don’t think US government controls social media like china, but after the constant news about all the social media CEO’s hanging out with the president I am not surprised many people start to get a feeling that something is up.

I don’t think chess is a good example of AI destroying the path to the top. Chess is more popular now and humans keep advancing even though it is futile effort against computers.

First movies written post chat-gpt will hit the theatres. This does not mean that GPT was used to write the films, but there is some AI elements stuffed in there. Recognizable AI video-gen artifacts start to be used as visual cues in scifi,

That is a moving target. I could be 17 today and 18 tomorrow. Also it is not feasable to make all the different variations of ID but they do give out single one with all the info. [1] https://ethresear.ch/t/zero-knowledg

If you have digital id signed with government keys (like passport) you would prove that person has ID where the age is above 18, attached to this photo and that all the info comes from a single government sanctioned id. You don’t need to co

I wasn’t sure if adding text is considered good form when submitting a link to a project I’m not part of. I followed the guidelines and did not editorialize the title. Surprisingly, ‘zkVM’ is a unique acronym, and search only returned relev

I think about this Brain Eno quote often. It’s always surprising when old worse formats resurface, yet it happens everytime. > Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature

Where can I read more about this? If this was a fact I think people would be way more excited about cryonics. Casually browsing wikipedia suggests that we are not there yet with the ability to thawn large animals or even organs.

I figured that the site breaks with apple lockdown mode on. I think that appstore links usually work still, but might be that that’s one of the lockdown mode protections. The spinning animation also was not there so I didn’t see the app log

Looks amazing and useful for me! The links don’t take me to the app store on my iphone and the app name is not in the heading I need to scroll past the copy to find what to search for. Minor annoyance but for some reason annoyed me a lot. T

My all time favorite! I did my 10000 hours with Shake before it was discontinued. With hindsight it’s maybe good idea to learn few different approaches to doing any task. Being an expert in any particular software is risky as things get dis

I’ve come to conclusion that it’s quite deep character trait. You can change your attitude to spending but it will be hard work. It won’t happen automatically when your life situation changes but you actually need to make a conscious decisi

I feel that I don’t have early memories, but for some reason I have a sense of the house I lived in before I was 3. My mother didn’t believe me so I draw her the floor plan one day. She said that’s great but where is the cellar? There appar

I think we have the same problems with text-to-image. These UX will not be the final interfaces, but amazing first proof of concepts. It is so striking that computer can comprehend text and generate something based on these abstract meaning

That’s what I wonder about simulation theory. People say that it’s just nerds coming up with another god, but isn’t there the difference that if we live in a simulation it’s highly unlikely that the folks running it will come to hand pick t

I get that dynamic and maybe it’s not great to look at one of the all-time most succesful indie productions as an example. Rodriquez really did a lot by himself in that one also. Maybe to clarify a bit what I take issue with is the culture

Like these films, but hate this indie budget math. The way to get to low number is to barter as much as possible and steal the rest. People still put the hours in, but nobody gets paid. Handful of key people get the ip and something for the

There is this often in HN featured article about bridge engineer analysing bridge collapses in film [1]. It’s about suspension bridges though but the takeaway for me was that when they go they go completely. [1] https://hackaday.
