a friend of mine (career not remotely connected) still likes to watch them, often before going to bed of all times! unsure how much of it is curiosity or whatever psychological conditions the rest of comments were suggesting. regardless, i

having grown up with in-house water filteration for drinking, from simple uv or charcoal filtering to 14+ stage filteration shebang, it is sad to hear that the source of microplastics might be from the RO process. i wonder if it is more of

this. you can buy 6 * 1.5L bottle pack for under 1.5 EUR from a supermarket. even a small brita jug would run you 25 for a combo with two cartridges. moreoever, brita works like the printer business and has horrible pricing policy. while it

Given how much money he has dedicated to philanthrophy, regardless of reasoning, I am sure he is happy with the wealth he continues to have. Also, hindsight 20/20, and you might see the diversification play out more in the future once

you might be right, but don't give too much credit to how representative the survey correspondants are. i am from the opposite camp: my first personal computer (not the family one) came with Ubuntu because the SKU was too cheap to come

i gave it a try last month with some bad results. for context, i was using firefox containers before using sync, and i lost all my containers after trying this! the bookmarks did not get synced to a new device after logging in there either.

very interesting to compare the custom hardware approaches provided by amd and nvidia. while unaware on exact reasons why nintendo went with nvidia, they ended with some legacy hand-me-downs instead of proper custom hardware to suit their n

the regular table salt has been iodized for a long time, as pointed out by another comment. although the rock salts of the world don't seem to be iodized iirc.

+1 after using piped and newpipe for 1.5+ years, it is not good enough to fully replace youtube app for me. although i believe it has been mostly on the server side and not as much on the client (besides random crashes that were happening w

you'd be surprised to hear how many in this thread fall in that category. at the risk of sounding "back in my day"-ish, my first desktop as a kid was a refurbished server. i never used like its original intent, other than run

i'm no expert in display manufacturing, but as per my understanding driving higher refresh rate is much different challenge than creating more densly packed pixels. display overclocking has been a thing for the longest time, which also

funny how they introduced wayland support in their nightly build over 5 years ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18465506 ), and people continue to complain about wayland support till date. i am in support of pushing

coming from a similar context, i believe going top down might be the way to go. up to your motivation, doing basic level courses first (as shared by others) and then tackling your own application of the concepts might be the way to go. i al

what is their moat over other companies releasing "open-source" models, a la stability and meta? all the fanfare during their inception seems to have washed away tbh.

as pointed out by others, this is a myopic view. as much as "AI" has been overhyped, most of the regulations do not prevent the advancements in the field. doing it right seems better than the startup grindset of experimenting and

this has been the case for all fb-owned social media and spotify for better part of the year. i am yet to come across it for youtube, but unsurprised. i wonder why there was no reporting on the other cases.
