The smartest people around me seem to hang out at obscure/niche programming language meetup events. You’re gonna get a very different crowd at something like your local Rust/Elixir meetup group vs the .NET User group, as it’s like

Looks like I can get a $3000 MSRP EPYC 4th gen 9334 for $750. I can see why people buy them even if it’s not strictly legal.

The only time I’ve gone to a baseball game as an American (with a “World Series” winning team, no less) in the last twenty years was because my work shuttle bussed us all an hour from the office, and we got unlimited alcoholic drinks in a c

Ah actually it is ChatGPT, you’ve made a common mistake. Perhaps you are an AI? As we all know, ChatGPT stands for “Chat General Purpose Tool”, as it is an artificial general intelligence.

It makes you question it because it goes against your agenda. Also it’s against the hacker news rules to assume I’m lying. Also it’s a long con since I’ve been talking about her since she was born, here on Hacker News. But thanks for being

No. I wrote a long well thought out response but my browser crashed. The long and short of it is dealing with bureaucrats seems to increase our chances of getting CPS called on us, constantly wearing us down, they tried to get our daughter

Yeah but that’s not how the market works. Like how there’s effectively no such thing as a market for small trucks because of legislation effectively banning them even if not de facto. This is just more middle brow intellectuals thinking the

Heavier vehicles use more fuel. Roads are paid for based on fuel taxes primarily. I’m sorry my daughter’s equipment for her wheelchair is causing you such distress and ruining the roads. Let me just sling her over my shoulder and carry her

Sounds great! I’m glad my family and our disabled daughter will have to pay more because our wheelchair accessible vehicle is so heavy. I really appreciate your opinion here. After all, my wife is being very selfish to want to get a terribl

I use 0.3mg and it has also improved my sleep drastically. It’s not a typo. I also give it to my kids who had terrible problems with sleep (staying up until 1am and bad stuff) and it’s made bedtime happen promptly.

I bought a pair of socks from them a few years ago. They are definitely my favorite socks. Definitely second the merino wool train for comfort. They had discontinued them as they were like $30 for a pair! It looks like maybe they’ve refined

It’s less expensive than a good quality whiskey. Honestly I might try some. 50cl == 500ml, so a liter for £54 doesn’t strike me as even “very expensive”, unless I’ve made some major metric maths error.

Eh it’s not a huge deal with stable diffusion because you can inpaint. So you mask out the bad hands and generate a few dozen iterations that merge perfectly with the rest of the image. You’re bound to get something that looks good. With SD

It depends on the type of conference. My wife went to a politically focused conference recently and while there were some paid speakers there were a lot of speakers who got stage time by virtue of paying the $2000 or so for a booth on the f

I don’t think that’s an appropriate use of the word demise unless your manager friend killed the person in question. Which scummy move, for sure but I hope it didn’t actually lead to their demise.

My wife was returning home from Dallas on a flight delayed for thunderstorms. The plane was completely full. They sat on the tarmac for 2 hours before takeoff and to conserve fuels turned off the air conditioner “to avoid refueling” the pil

I reported it immediately via some very difficult to navigate form that barely worked in the Alexa app. I never heard back or got any feedback. It was buried under menus and once I got to the form it was doing something weird where it was l

Interesting to see this here as the more expensive version of this microwave with convection baking nearly burned down my house on Thanksgiving. It was a hectic morning and we were getting ready, and I had my kid put something into the micr

As someone from Missouri it was very jarring that the map of all their restaurants is shown on a US map, except for some reason the states of Iowa and Missouri are conjoined. I wonder if this was just a mistake? Or perhaps Mr. Cheese was we

Russia has essentially an inexhaustible supply of trees in the taiga if people were determined enough. The scope of the number of trees is absurd, with estimates that 18 percent of the worlds biomass is in the taiga.

Firefox updated the other day and started putting ads into my address bar when I search for stuff. “Firefox Sponsored Suggestions” or some other such nonsense. I had to look up how to disable it. At least I could. I’m noticing the Google Om

I mean there were a few people correct that mortgage backed securities were much higher risk than they were classified as. Just because a bunch of smart people agree on something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct. But it can take a long

With gigabit Internet you can stream very high quality VR content that looks really good. You just have to pay to actually get the good quality VR, or download it. I’d imagine it’s mostly expensive to the servers more so than a technical li

It’s funny you say this as I just asked ChatGPT 4 and got this response. Here is a simple solution to your problem: 1. Fill the 12-liter jug completely. 2. Use the water in the 12-liter jug to fill the 6-liter jug. Now you have 6 liters rem
