Ive been on a meeting with a painter who paints on acrylic and she said that acrylic paints are relatively new, thus nobody knows how long will the paintings last. Of course modern varnish is applied, but it is unclear what will happen in t

Lots of old games dont work anymore, but you can still run them by compabtibility modes. 16 bit programs dont seem to work at all though - you need wine or dosbox

If there is less than 50% religious people maybe the "in god we trust" could be removed from the dollar? Also are you sure there isnt less than 50% religious people already?

You had to figure out so much on your own back then - and reinvent the wheel. For me it is fascinating how today I can learn a foreign language, or how to code by interacting with the LLM.

The people scraping were too dumb to do it so far, but you just reminded them to start doing it. Alrhough technically HN could detect bots opening tons of profiles and feed them wrong data.

I think pandora had the best recommendations - because it was based on real human input, not AI and not even "group think". Sadly many years ago pandora bacame US only, so I couldnt use it (did not bother with VPN).
