Another thing is that not many can afford a power loom or similar and I don't think prices will go down, since it is already heavily subsidized?

Lots of assumptions about what I think. I pointed out that Trump put the topic on the agenda a few days ago and now it comes up in HN comments. No more, no less. Whether it has merit is a different question. Point is that the reach of him s

> China has interfered with US elections Wow, that newest of Trump's distraction talking points made it surprisingly quickly to the uncontended (?) and commonly accepted facts in HN conversations.

This argument is as old as the debate itself. No I didn't invent English. But you'd also not argue that way if you plagiarized somebody's homework and a teacher called you out on it. Point is that an LLMs output is perhaps cl

Indeed, but audio isn't exactly "visual", is it? And I'm not sure video, images and motion are actually 3 different things. Images are just still motion and videos capture motion, so it's really just "video and

Of course it's wrong. But then again, what did you expect? A high quality super reliable full USB 3.0 speed 7 port hub? For $5? That shouldn't pass anybody's smell test. There is a cost to things, and if the price seems too l

$5 USD. What did you expect? Always surprises me when people pay essentially nothing for a product and then complain about quality.

Are there epaper versions of those round displays? Maybe I'm old fashioned.

I came here to say the same thing. Why on earth do we need a "modern browser" to show a clock?

It might come as a surprise to you, but "random anonymous users discerning quality" is exactly how this site operates and that's working pretty well.

It is not black or white. Many articles start with a human brainstorming the content, maybe writing a rough draft, and then AI filling gaps or just polishing the language. Maybe the author isn't a native speaker or has dylexia. It&#x27

> Why haven't you? It is (mentally) painful to think about that this life is going to end. And even more (mentally) painful to think about the consequences of a (physically) painful end. The mind goes to great lengths to avoid pain.

The cryonics industry is an unbelievable scam. You habe watched too much scifi my friend.

I think it's exactly this attitude which the article is about. Of course I wish the best to whoever decides to fight. But fighting at any cost isn't the best advice.

Agreeing with your overall sentiment, but this caught my eye: > If I'm 80, I'm (somewhat) less concerned with length of life, and more concerned with quality. If I'm 50 that's a different equation Why is that? Is qual

Easy. Let f be a continuous real function that is not differentiable somewhere. Let H be the truth value of the Riemann hypothesis. Define g(x) as "f(x) if not H else 0". Boom. Reminds me of a homework exercise in theory of comput

But maybe it shouldn't. I visit a friend in Sweden the other day. Her house was built in the 80s, nothing fancy, a simple one family house. There is a ventilation system integrated. Every room has an inlet and the air is sucked out of

Unfortunately it will be hard for you to know how much of that effect is placebo. Unless you tested this with some kind of double-blind setup.

That article's message is spot on. If your CO2 levels are that high then you should fix the HVAC system and get it up to code or lobby for fixing the code. In many countries, a full air exchange in any office space every X hours is man
