It makes sense both grammatically and logically; I think this might just be a parsing issue. For example: Alaska and Hawaii are the only non-contiguous U.S. states. Alaska is one of the only non-contiguous states. The 'only' is pa

For the sake of argument -- if you were talking about your real desk to someone, you would say "my desk", no? If you were talking about a document somewhere in your files, you would say "it's in my files". If you we

So to be clear, AI contributed the following to this ordeal: - assured the author that going blind over the course of a day is, in fact, something to be concerned about - suggested using eye drops -- which the author didn't have, and h

HN has great discussions but what shows up on the front page can be kinda samey. Newest has a lot more variety in topics.

> Is this the famed respectful and intellectually stimulating discourse of HN? To be fair, there's not much discussion to be had around expressing an opinion like that; people will either agree with you, or they won't. The only

I'd also put Super Meat Boy up there for good platforming feel. But yeah, Fancy Pants is fantastic, it's what I always wanted Sonic games to feel like.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat inanimate objects, or 'lesser' life forms like plants.

I guess I'm missing something, why is this 'serverless' horrors? If anything it seems to specifically be serverful horrors.

As someone who's just terrible with names, I hate that this is how people interpret it. There are plenty of people who have had a big impact on my life whose names have slipped - and, plenty of inconsequential people whose names stuck

Disney made many technological breakthroughs that allowed for things like parallax layers, glow and other effects, and compositing without green screens back in the days when everything had to be done in-camera. But the use of the technique

Ironically the AI summary that we're told not to read gives the only real explanation for why we should just buy a brother laser printer; the majority of the human-written article is unrelated complaints about AI and SEO. If the auth

Thank you. I'm as upset by the things this administration has done as the next person, but attacking it does nothing without addressing the circumstances that led to this situation (we've been in a state of emergency for decades n

Isn't what you're describing basically just a PWA? Minus the signing shenanigans anyway.

Yeah, you'll see people pointing to statistics like how many games are being released on Steam nowadays. But if you actually sort by new on Steam, and look at the quality of these games, it's 95% complete low-effort trash: gacha g

That's part of it too, but CNSA really does play its cards much closer to its chest than NASA. It's more in line with the Soviet approach of sharing the minimum information necessary to support a narrative. For example, try to fin

I'm not sure which is more concerning: how easy it was to fall for it in the first place, or the mental gymnastics some are going through to place the blame outside themselves. A lie is a lie, it does not matter how plausible it is. &q

Speaking as an older gen-Z-er living in with their parents, this is very true of me and many people I know around my age (most, now that I think about it). If I could live somewhere nearby that doesn't eat up 50%+ of my income I would

The source paper for both articles is paywalled, so maybe it has a better argument than the articles. But to call it theater or a publicity stunt is to imply it didn't have a point beyond public relations, which isn't the case. Mi

It's worth pointing out that the post in question was made in the past half hour amidst the wave of activity from HN. Not to say your point isn't valid, but I think this is more an example of trolls who will say anything and every

Another aspect to consider is how quickly tolerance builds. After a few weeks of regular low psilocybin doses, even what's considered a high dose can have little to no noticeable effects. Taking equivalent amounts in the study isn&#x27
