People seem all outraged, but I really don't care. Kurzgesagt is just a youtube channel of explaining cool science topics with very high quality animations. It's really not so different from Cosmos, or Into the Universe, or Mythbu

In all honesty, the fact that this laser based communication exists makes me a lot more likely to believe that SDI was actually a success in the classified world.

I'm pretty sure that a municipality needs a population of 50K to be considered a city. This is more of a small town.

Welcome to the future. As these tools improve, expect a massive explosion of content, in increasingly complex forms. Today it's comics, tomorrow videos and music, next week video games. I for one cannot wait until any old schmuck has t

Uh, extremely high? It just wouldn't be Musk doing the evidence releasing, instead it would be leaks from other employees.

I mean, isn't it kind of obvious that this design "flaw" was engineered on purpose in order to force people to buy more JoyCons? Every company does this sort of thing. On a side note, does anyone have any recommendations for

Great, another excuse for the automakers to keep prices high. But the truth is that they're shooting themselves in the foot. I simply refuse to buy a new vehicle until we see significant deflation in the auto markets. And I'm not

Scary stuff, and it makes me think that the days of anonymous online forums are coming to a close. Even HN, unfortunately. I'm not sure how you stop this from happening without increasingly invasive KYC-type measures.

You're barking up the wrong tree here, guy. I don't care about the politics or whether it's right or wrong, I'm just telling you, they're not gonna indict Trump based on this House committee report. If the DoJ is in

I mean I'm not surprised. Everyone knows that congress is a joke and these "committee investigations" are the biggest partisan frauds. These congresspeople are a bunch of incompetent morons who care only about political point

This is clickbait. This "city" has a population of 16000.

Hate to say it but I don't think the DoJ is gonna act on this, especially not while they're currently investigating Trump for other malfeasance. This committee is pretty partisan - 7 D, 2 R. You'd be setting off a real firest

Binance and Tether will not become insolvent, and that is precisely the issue. They have an essentially endless supply of laundered funds, criminal money, and international backing. It's essentially a financial weapon aimed at the West

These tools aren't going away. And I still think ChatGPT is incapable of writing a full essay with parenthetical citations and such that schools require. Perhaps the best solution would be to teach students to use ChatGPT to help impro

This situation is so stupid that it seriously breaks my brain. A 22 year career ruined over some dumb movie quote uttered outside of work, for a video that didn't even go viral... Who the hell even was offended by this? If this sort of

Snap is crazy, man. It's not just pornographic content. Back in high school, kids used to just openly sell drugs on that platform. Snap stories very blatantly selling weed, lsd, shrooms, cocaine, etc. I was honestly appalled at the tim

There's a big difference between ML Eng jobs and ML Research jobs. Research, yeah you'd need a top PhD and many difficult years of study. Eng, far more attainable, but IIUC it's not exactly going to feel like you're work

You're a madman. Well done. Starting to think more and more that the singularity will be caused by accident.

The military always keeps the real game changing stuff under wraps for strategic purposes. The very public parading of this plane, along with other "cutting edge" planes like the F35, makes me think that manned airplanes are alrea

Eh, while this may be true, I would not exactly say that rolling stone is a credible source.

So the way this was discovered was through an anonymous tip. How often is this the means of discovery for malware / 0-days / etc? Would Google have found this if it wasn't for the tip?

Yes, you're absolutely right. Jonathan Haidt touched on this quite a bit in "The Coddling of the American Mind". Unfortunately I see no possible way to reverse the situation. People simply aren't used to hardship anymore

Haha, I can't imagine that this happens often. But that being said, there are documented instances of Alexa picking up sensitive conversations on accident, for example in this WaPo article where it was observed picking up sensitive inf

Is anyone actually surprised by this? Influencers get paid to promote all sorts of products these days, and I'm sure they use practically none of them. You think all these celebrities were actually paying for things using their shitty

> Are you worried Alexa is listening to you as you rant to yourself? Well, I mean, quite literally, it is. It's always listening to you, and that's how it knows when you say "Alexa". And IIUC all these audio recording

It's an interesting case, for sure. I'm not familiar with the specifics, but I think a key variable is how exactly the conversation was leaked. If the receiver of the voicemail leaked it, that's a consequence that the owner s

You're reading too much into my comment. I specifically tried to stay neutral because this sort of tactical escalation could come from either side. In no way am I attempting to "define free speech as some narrow window of speech t
