We are using the sun's energy that hits the earth. Some as light (which turns into heat), some as electricity (which turns into heat), and some as plant food > animal food > oil (which turns into heat) A Dyson sphere would captur

I think it's about whether you see the work directly, or through a lens of status consciousness. You are saying: - classical statues are beautiful, I like beautiful things And they are saying: - classical statues belong in palaces, and

I'm only 30, but this exact same realization has brought me a great deal of mental peace in the last few years. Separating the doing from the feeling (and especially the feeling-about-doing from the doing) makes weathering setbacks muc

Nail on the head, thanks. I'm deeply uncomfortable with anything that combines paying for a service with a social element. Feels like an unstable equilibrium. I guess the skill is riding the line, but that doesn't feel very enjoya

Almost convincing, except there's no animal composition (beyond gut microbes)! You can't stick 2 animals that each evolved 1 thing together.

Interesting material, but poorly written page. It has a breathless tone, and gives too much and too little detail at the same time. Reads like it might be by a domain expert who has lost sight of what "regular" people know. Jargon

I know HN loves pedantry, but this criticism is overblown to the point of being misleading. Look at the Raleigh graph - there are a few outliers, but the average (the one number being reported) is right in that cluster of flat years. And th

Yeah FPS never clicked for me. I put 500 hours or so into CSGO and came out just as bad as I went in. I choked all the time.. feels like my brain isn't designed for that sub second decision making

CS feels more punishing? I think the answer is a combination of factors. - TTK (time to kill) is very, very low. Without a helmet, all pistols 1shot headshot from <= medium range - Accuracy while moving is reduced - The default mode is 5

HN definitely has a negative valence. Sure, there's the 20% of comments that are outright rude, or tie everything back to their pet grievance (job satisfaction, government surveillance, the existence of JS). But beyond that, the techni

Edited since, but what that game does is let you participate asynchronously in a completely distributed way. It's a real miracle of game design. This one is kludging from every angle. They're cheating with the physics, they'r

As a nerd, I hunger for consistency. This wasn't - it took snapshots and handwaved them together. Can't help but feel it would have been a lot better with constrained physics and automated submissions. The current version is proba

I'm curious how the timing worked - what happened if you were a few seconds early to record? Was the first part of the broadcast filled with noops?

The point isn't that it's a standard, it's that it's implemented in browser (not in a framework), and is a lot closer to the web equivalent of "bare metal". There are less moving pieces that will break backward

The only real issue is that rocket launches are 100x (1000x? 1MMx?) more expensive than plane takeoffs, so the feedback loop is more difficult.

From a macro view, competence requires growth, right? Look at the 60s - there's tremendous excitement about space, astronauts are heroes, everyone is putting in 10x effort to get over the finish line. What Boeing is being asked to do n
