I guess the idea is that over time you'd learn to navigate without needing the turn by turn instructions that a smartphone spits out - like how people used to do it. It wouldn't just be to break smartphone dependence, but to gain

To be honest, I was debating on even posting my message initially. It was off topic but I figured it would've been ignored. If I knew it was going to derail the discussion about Stratoscope's analysis that much, I wouldn't&#x

Decent guess, but nah. Something to do with corporate tax accounting. Can't remember the details because that's out of my element.

It's only scary at the beginning. Then you get used to it. Every single social media site - including HN - has uninformed people agreeing that a correct-sounding answer must be right. My friend the tax accountant gets downvoted for cla

I tried the egg pasta thing with the kitchen aid roller attachment. Good results, but not worth the effort in the least bit and I really enjoy the process of cooking usually. Then I tried making the biang biang noodles that Ethan C demonstr

That's an interesting way to frame the reddit debacle. Reddit could have mandated ads to be displayed as a part of their TOS of API usage, but just decided not to - for the clear reason of centralizing users to their app. It wasn'

Not sure if it's just me, but that calculator doesn't seem right given the formula it's supposed to be based off of. Someone else can check my work[0], but the only assumption I made was for K in the calculator (lambda in the

The delivery solution reminds me of the why-dropbox question. Delivery is fine* if you know exactly the amount you need or are fine with paying for extra materials. There were a few times I needed an extra piece or just needed something els

The Lowes and HD near me always have their trucks either in maintenance or rented out. It's always a mistake to rely on their availability here. Rebuilding my deck and making raised beds was basically an exercise in begging friends for

A few months ago there was a post on HN about catching up to the current state of LLM dev and learning how to use it. In it there were recommendations for hardware - the lowest tier being a 3090/4090. When looking at the decision tree

Unsure why this comment was flagged. I took a look at the proposed changes in the press release and it seems like things HN would support. Is it because the rules are centered around kids? Yea I'd like the same rules applied to my demo

Using those numbers, you can probably do the same thing on a 1gig service. 4k Netflix seems to top out around 20Mbps.

This is very short sighted. Lower prices inevitably come at a cost to quality. Normally this is corrected for in physical stores (you can see if something looks cheap), but it's not so easy with online shops. So yea, everything's

We're in the same situation - the budget just can't take it. On the plus side, I've learned how to cook meals better than any restaurant I've been to. Just need the right tools to get started. It's surprisingly easy

That's not a small grocery store despite the name. And there's a supercenter less than a mile away from that, so that example is not even relevant to their point.

I'm more-or-less convinced that people who complain about executive pay and its impact to end users don't know how to do basic math. Let's take AT&T as an example. From a rough search[1], they make let's say $70m tot
