It's just that with people you don't expect them to update every few months with a new and improved version of themselves that supposedly bullshits less. Instead at some point you just stop asking, or at least don't take them

If I had to take a guess, I'd say they probably just drank their own Kool-Aid and routinely fall prey to overconfidence. It might as well be dogfooding, but to me that seems a bit too, hm, say, intellectually honest for what is basical

It seems like just about any time an AI company releases such a video, they're bound to make the same mistake of not cross checking their own demo. I don't get it. I mean, how hard can it be? These are billion dollar ventures. For

This is a beautiful way to see it, thank you for leading me to it. Guess I'll have to consider myself a bryophite of the information age from now on.

Meanwhile, for some OCD people writing or reading lowercase where it doesn't belong only raises anxiety and depression.

Absurdly cheap to a billionaire who's never given AF about ordinary, let alone poor, people.

It means retailers will be able to set their own prices and not have them (unlawfully) dictated by AVM. The resulting competition will probably lead to (at least occasionally) lower prices for consumers.

Possible, yes. Economical, no.

>Curiously enough, Germany handles rules on abortion with an explicit law at the federal level, most other healthcare regulations being done at the state level. I wonder what the history there is. Perhaps it wasn't historically seen

The irony of finding the formating of this article completely messed up on mobile is not lost on me.

That's sure cool for Face ID. Now all that's missing is the same level of faith in all the rest.

You are not alone. And the day some manufacturer's database with 1.8 billion sets of facial data is going to get hacked and exposed, I'll feel pretty smug about it.

As usual, Twitter won't allow me to read the corresponding thread. I desperately need for somebody to confirm to me that this is satire. TIA

Thank you for introducing me to "sesquipedalian", a word I've never seen before in over 20 years of venturing in the anglosphere, but one which I, as a native speaker of an Awful (and very sesquipedalian) Language, instantly

You seem to be strangely offended by the idea of people playing small stakes home games for fun, and frankly, your understanding of a game seems rather skewed to me as well. I'm really glad for you to know and hopefully be able to make

This is nicely made, but as other people have pointed out, it appears to be optimizing in a kind of weird way for a real poker game. It seems to me that the underlying problem is that cheap pre-mixed chip cases usually have terrible denomin

The day of that news was the day I uninstalled all private weather apps I had been using and bought DWD. I figured if they want to play that game, they gotta live with the consequences. I've since been encouraging everyone I know to do

Yeah, I guess the several hundred thousand people involved were just slacking off a lot on government money. Please don't forget to close such statements with an /s, lest some notorious software "engineers" on HN might b

No. Locals were demanding officials do something against the rampant overtourism, so they needed to act precisely in a highly visible and obstructive way. But the main goal was of course to assure whatever they did wouldn't jeopardise

They're lying about the goal is what I suppose they meant, and I tend to agree.

If they started charging for it, that would probably go a long way to end all cooperation with state authorities, very quickly. As in, have their right to deploy/maintain the retainers revoked, etc. If those countries had the political

I bet AI content sites will be absolutely thrilled to use such tags and worsen their ranking.

Back when it was at the BCC, I remember when they used to tell you to Absolutely Not buy one at Media Markt over across Alexanderplatz and just return it after the Congress. Phun times.

A head count is often done with a simple mechanical clicker by the flight attendants right at the plane's doors and/or during the check walk looking for seat belts and unstowed luggage during taxiing. It takes no additional time a

I find it a bit strange that the concept of multilayered security would need explaining on HN, of all places.

Worth it as in there's literally no cost to doing it and it prevents unidentified people from boarding. As funny as I find the anecdote, I would prefer any airline knowing who's on my plane. Wouldn't you?
