Were you at the event or do you have a source for that claim? I have seen video of one of the bots refusing to give an answer to that question and there were multiple articles in the wake of the event that couldn't come to any definiti

How is stuff like this not considered fraud? This seems much worse to me than Musk's usual Tesla lies in which he is predicting some future capability. At least there is an argument that Musk believed it those at the time he said the

Lol, I thought our confusion was over astrophysics and not English. The gaps are a real physical phenomenon that may or may not be visible depending on rendering decisions. I wouldn't consider them a "rendering artifact" as

Care to expand on that? Wikipedia image has the Greeks ahead of Jupiter and the Trojans behind Jupiter. Doesn't that clearly show it is an image of a moment in time? And the only attributes of an asteroid this code[1] seems to use a

If I understand both the code and o11c's comment correctly, it sounds like the difference is less rendering artifact rather than what is being rendered. This code is rendering the asteroids based off their semi-major axis, but Wikiped

TIL about Kirkwood gaps. I knew about Jupiter leading to Hilda and Trojan groupings, but my understanding of the main belt was more in line with a representation like this one from Wikipedia[1]. However, this imaging shows a clear gap and

Yes, the author has a good point in a vacuum, but used a bad example to highlight that point in practice. Even for the minority of the audience who hasn't seen the movie yet, they almost certainly know what happens due to cultural osmo

Generative AI "art" is bad enough, but generative AI art criticism just feels nonsensical to me. An AI can't experience a work of art or have thoughts about it. It is just imitating someone who can. What is the point of th

> The problem with blocking is, it doesn't solve the problem You’re right it doesn’t solve the problem, but the people who experience this problem say it helps and now those people are losing that help.

A block function is the online equivalent of a restraining order. Imagine telling a victim of abuse that restraining orders aren’t rational. It doesn’t have to be foolproof to provide a real benefit.

It says a lot about the HN community that the overwhelming majority of people here seemingly emphasize with the person being blocked rather than the person doing the blocking.

It feels a lot worse to deliver a lame joke at the start of an all hands meeting to a bunch of muted zoom windows with their cameras off. How much of the return to office is leaders wanting that polite chuckle from that captured audience b

Supply is relatively inelastic too. Landlords going bust and being foreclosed on doesn't destroy the units so renters will be fine. I'm not sure you're going to find much sympathy for "mega landlords" going bust.

by slg 2y ago
That is why I said "relatively inelastic". Raise the price too high and eventually you won't fill the unit because some other landlord will relent and stop raising their price in order to get their unit rented. This is basi
