As a counterpoint - it's not the same regardless of the source. This is happening in my old neighbourhood, and several of my friends still live in the area so I've heard firsthand accounts. It's not just trucks blowing thei

As someone else mentioned, shared libraries. If you built ls and statically linked libc and whatever else it needs, ls would be a lot bigger.

It included Dexedrine and other amphetamines up until a few years ago, which might be what OP was thinking of.

It wouldn't surprise me too much. My completely embarrassing website from the 90s has been running on the same host and subdomain with zero work done by me to keep it running: http://boglin.iwarp.com I think I edited the HT

Many eruptions are explosive[1], like Mount St. Helens in 1980. Here's a small explosive eruption where you can see the shockwave and eventually hear it when it hits the ship the cameraperson is on: https://www.youtube.com

Pumped storage is a bit different than an ordinary reservoir with a dam, though. You have more opportunity to build it in a place where it's less likely to cause harm is something goes wrong. It has been used pretty effectively on both

There's another version of the video here with restored audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WITLR_qSPXk Might be easier to watch for anyone using a device with crappy speakers.

That sounds about right. I'd also note to the OP that in might help to treat the acquiring company like the Borg: they acquired you , and now it's on you to serve their needs, not necessarily the other way around. If your app i

Unsure, because I thought it was a fair question. I ended up replying. The short answer is that I'm not 100% sure what my original input was. I was a bit mesmerized by Copilot, so I went back and tried altering the original to see what

Good question! I'm not sure I can get back to exactly the same input I originally used. Part of the experimenting I did involved erasing some of the original comment and altering it to see how it would impact the generated code. I sort

I was skeptical but impressed, too. I created a .py file that started with a comment something like: # this application uses PyGame to simulate fish swimming around a tank using a boid-like flocking algorithm. and Copilot basically w

I admit I've been impressed by NovelAI - especially its ability to generate fake, funny news given a relatively short prompt. I decided to feed it a single HN-related sentence as a prompt to see what it came up with - the first sentenc

It depends. The UK Apache is license built by AgustaWestland instead of Boeing and does indeed have a more powerful engine. It was the same for the UK's F-4s, which had a Rolls Royce Spey that put out significantly more thrust than the

There are quite a few similar products that used the OpenAI API as well.

It's still a fun book to work they even if the examples are outdated. I found a used copy of it for $1 a few years back. If I remember correctly, it's easy enough to take the ideas and implement them using SDL instead of MS QuickC

I was experimenting with it over the weekend and basically got it to build out a simulation of schooling/flocking boidfish swimming around a tank. That was fun! I certainly wasn't expecting it to create the whole darn thing, but i

It looks pretty much identical to the Turbo Pascal IDE for anyone that's feeling nostalgic and wants to write some yellow on dark blue code. Even better - Free Pascal comes with Free Vision, which is mostly compatible with Turbo Vision

Same here. Perhaps they've updated the unsubscribe process? I was expecting a painful process based on what I'd read on HN and Reddit but it was just a couple of clicks.

Looks like a similar idea to the Desert Rock tests [1]. Though I don't think any of the Desert Rock soldiers galloped onto an atomic battlefield on horseback while wearing a gas mask and wielding a sword like one of the guys in your vi

Perhaps give them some flexibility if there's a technical co-founder as CTO. It depends on what the startup is working on. If it's trying to sell into the enterprise I'd be a lot more confident in its future if the CEO is hea

My favorite similar mixup is ordinance vs ordnance. Though I suppose they're not mutually exclusive. I'm sure that printed copies of some bylaws are hefty enough to cause serious damage if you lob them at the enemy.

Anther follow-up in case someone stumbles upon this in the future and wants more information. The 800km limit applies to quite a few countries. Many of them (but not all) were members of Soviet Union. You can find a list here: https:/
