I have no stake or set opinion in this debate. But your parent poster posted an interesting-looking video, and you responded with "it means nothing" without any explanation. Care to explain?

I think to me the weirdest and most unexpected (not so much in retrospect) AI use is that people will use it all day long to navigate chat conversations with their boyfriends/girlfriends, having it suggest romantic replies, etc. I expe

What's weird is that so many people shrug this off with "eh, it's what they said about the calculator". Which to me is roughly as bad a take as "LLMs are just fancy auto-complete" was. I feel it's worth re

A lot of the more complicated equipment in TSMC fabs (e.g. EUV equipment) is from Europe. Building a fab is no mean feat and loss of infra is a major blow, but it's certainly not impossible to build these fabs in the West, just not eco

Tech-wise places too much premium on the ISA. Modern processor design is fairly orthogonal to the ISA being exposed. Intel could make exciting RISC-V relatively quickly if they wanted to; what stops them and other companies like this is the

FWIW, as someone working in the area, his language is fine for me. A headunit main display wedging itself is often called a "hard reset". I'm quite mystified how systemic failures like the throttle response and ESC failures c

This is something I've really flipped on when I started taking trains more to replace domestic flights (in Europe) to improve my personal CO2 footprint. I used to be really impatient with travel and tried my best to save travel time, a

Shout-out again to Charles C. Mann's excellent book 1491 . One of my most eye-opening reads after 2000, in terms of information that I didn't possess yet, exceedingly well presented.

As someone who's triggered by this and has griped about it just recently: No, this doesn't qualify, because Totoro is actually Japanese content that happens to be popular internationally. "Thing, Japan" is if you take

Thanks for making this point, which is very and strangely underrepresented on Hacker News . I've been made fun of for decades for being a Linux user with slogans like "I want to use my PC, not work on my PC". Guess what, tha

Nothing in this blog post is something that has to be done. The normal Core One user experience is to unbox and print a few minutes later.

I bought an MK4 two years ago, it's been printing for 1500+ hours, and I haven't done any tinkering. It's just a workhorse. Again, you said it yourself: You went from an Ender to a Bambu, and you seem to just assume that a Pr

I don't think the Kpop companies really do much to manipulate Kpop fans into being active on social media. At least I cannot think of any dangling carrots or so. The fan behavior may be very real and problematic, but I think it likely

I understand your feelings overall, but some of it is also rooted in misconceptions. In the South Korean audience, an idol doesn't rank above a celebrity or singer. There's a clear distinction between actual artists (held in m

Probably more relevant to the audience, Korea has experimented with CG pop idol bands and CG advertising influencers a bit in recent years: https://youtu.be/1wGOHbcQKIc as one of various examples. The vocals are typically s

The article fails to mention that some of the songs including the lead single have vocal performance by members of Twice , consistently one of the most popular kpop groups in the past decade. So these also come with a built-in audience and

The government is subsidizing kpop companies somewhat via funding for arts and entertainment (as essentially all governments in a position to invest in soft power do, of course). I'm not aware of any military backing, though. Kpop star

Dunno, I felt way worse during the crypto boom days. At least the AI stuff has a bit more of a generally useful application. I get my "people doing interesting things" fixes on YouTube and Hackaday.

It's a shame, but in a glass-falf-full sense the fact that this planet is our little boat in the ocean and all that we got is also a quite helpful focusing reminder and scope constraint. That the stars are beyond reach might be depress

As a non-Windows user, can someone neatly summarize what the problem is? I recently used Windows 11 a bit to port an app, and while it's a horrible OS to dev on, the UX just seemed like any other Windows.

Aye, the "like" was doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence intentionally :). But it's HN, so I appreciate someone linking the actual business!
