Found this video of Alex Kunchevsky animating a butterfly in Dreams. If this is how the process actually works, then I could see Dreams being very popular. Simple and intuitive. https://twitter.com/kunchevsky/status&#x2

That's incorrect. All current and recent-ish Chromebooks get at least eight years from date of release. And with the move to separate Chrome (the browser) from the OS, it will be possible to update the browser even after system upgrade

Thanks for the correction of the correction. I thought the banners were required, but I hadn't done much research. Therefore, I thought I might be wrong after the initial correction. Nice to know my original hunch was correct. Sounds l

The customer service is a potential killer for me. For a while, I was relying on Gmail. Then started seeing the horror stories of people losing their accounts with almost no recourse of getting them back. I realize the false-positive bans a

GeForce Now is working great for me. But for this person's dad, it probably wouldn't work well at all. The interface is cluttered with game icons. Which is fine for me. But someone averse to tech would probably find it confusing &

Thanks for the correction. I always assumed those banners were to comply with the regulations. Nice to know the companies are being annoying for no reason.

Speaking as an American, I'm jealous of the EU approach. Yes, I think some of the EU regulations are silly. But they're taking a default position in favor of the citizens. Not in favor of the corporations. In this day and age, tha

That's kinda awesome. I love the idea of bison jams. And using it as a predictor of bison sightings.

During the solar eclipse of 2017, I drove to a small town in eastern Nebraska. The town had a 10k race that day. There were about 3 cars, including mine, on this stretch of road. Stop-and-going inbetween the runners. While my wife drove, I

I like your idea of find the human. Just building on that idea a little. I know current AI detection programs don't work well. But they would be fun in the context of a game. Call it "Only Robots Allowed" and have it be a sin

There's been some interesting updates to the story. The Marion Record was in the process of investigating the Marion police chief. He used to work for the Kansas City (MO) PD. Allegedly, he was demoted for "sexual misconduct"

I'm sure not many are still reading the comments on this post, but for those few who are left, here's the statement from the Marion Police. Says nothing and says everything: The Marion Kansas Police Department has has several inqu

I'm not in Marion County but I am in the general vicinity. This is both surprising and unsurprising. And probably explains why my own county's newspaper sticks to stories about school board meetings and who had the winning hog at

Going to New Orleans. Seeing Crash Worship. Met a girl there. With her best friend, all 3 of us climbed a huge, ancient tree. Watched the moon rise over the city.

For me, the smaller the better. I'm fortunate enough to do most of my real work at a desktop setting, so I'd like the laptop to be as portable as possible. With that in mind, in terms of pure form factor, the Asus Flip Chromebook

I adored Noctis back in the day. There was something very lonely and alien about it. Something No Man's Sky never quite captured. The lofi graphics just helped to make it more haunting and isolated. But the community was nice. I would

Allow yourself to keep one. Put an inscription in the front mentioning when you got the book and who gave it to you. Throw the rest out. Keeping the one will remind you of the entire collection. And it's a nice memento of your childhoo

Russian seems to be better than even English at grabbing words wholesale from elsewhere. Maybe that makes translations easier? Probably not, but it's a fun thought. My favorite example of that was a sign at an airport. Marking a spot o

Steam has mislabeled many of the older Mac games as being incompatible. Several of them will work just fine. It's worth double checking on one of the Mac gaming wikis if you want a particular game. Have no idea why the mislabeling happ

It's not Linux, but you can roughly get this form factor with mainstream devices without having to take a risk on small companies or crowdfunded projects. There are hinged laptop-style cases for the iPad Mini. iPadOS is generally good

For a handwriting font, it would be fun to have small variations on letters. Just to make it look like something actually handwritten.

When my father died, he had a waking dream of this. Saw a river with all his dead family across the water. Smiling and waving. Coming to the banks. Waiting for him to cross. His last words were “Cover me in a blanket of sunshine.” He died t

That made me laugh. And it's an interesting thought. Civ is notorious for an AI that isn't particularly good and frequently resorts to cheating. Maybe GPT has absorbed enough Civ FAQs & tactics articles to be better than the b

Agree with everything you wrote. Gave me the funny thought of how ultimately the AI will just be talking to itself. Someone sends me AI-written documentation to evaluate. I'll ask the AI to respond with feedback because I'm too bu

On my M1 MBA, it's sluggish but still usable. Definitely worse than on Windows. It's probably the worst out of the few Rosetta apps I have. It's a little funny. The Steam client performs worse than any of my Mac games that ar

I haven't used 11 yet. When I was on 10, there was a group policy that would prevent automatic updates & restarts. The OS would check regularly for updates but wouldn't automatically download them. If this is still available i

I know a few people who ended up driving trucks for a living after playing American (or Euro) Truck Simulator for hundreds of hours. I wonder how many organic farms were started due to people playing Stardew Valley.

At one point, my Gmail was my primary email. Losing it suddenly would have created some enormous pain. Since there would be no way of recovering it, short of a Google employee on HN or Twitter taking pity on me, that seemed like a highly un
