Anthro means human and these are not human. Please do not use anthropology or any derivative of the word to refer to non-human constructs. I suggest Synthetipologists, those who study beings of synthetic origin or type, aka synthetipodes, j

Surely Google has some sort of patent for this due to the snake in the Youtube buffering icon.

if these are meant to be spun up cheapy and quickly in the waiting time for token generation, then why not drop a call to it in a div and let us play with them on the github landing page?

I’m sorry but this entire premise is dubious at best hilarious at worst. I’ve worked retail on and off for a decade and been friends with AP in most places and no one has ever mentioned this happening. Never been told to watch for it, or he

This is actually perfect for me. Go is my most productive language, but it is the worst for some of the usecases I want to use it for due to goroutines and GC pauses and things like that. I learned C and programming when I was a middle scho

Mine is a Vizio from Target that's never been online. I've gotten close to cutting its wifi antenna circuit to prevent this but I think I got it before they started programming anything like this in and I should be safe if it stay

Nobody is interested in your piece of anecdata and asserting that something has gotten better without doing any studies on it, is the exact opposite of critical thinking. You are displaying the exact same thing that you were complaining abo

Honestly, just white knighting for one of my favorite developers and biggest inspirations. Someone lying about the pseudo randomization of the hand drawn efforts to make it seem entirely algorithmically generated rubs me really wrong, espec

As one of those kids, you could’ve just stopped at “I don’t think”, because you’re not thinking critically if you think we don’t exist. I wasn’t allowed to have a personal device or unsupervised internet access until I graduated. My parents

That’s not the same procedural generation as GPT or diffusion and you know it. It’s not even in the same ballpark as Elite, NMS, terraria, or Minecraft. The levels are all hand drawn, not generated by an algorithm, even if they’re shuffled.

I have multiple “real identities”, diagnosed due to trauma. We each want to have our own spaces of interest and experience online. As a matter of mental health, we really cannot have these overlapping for many reasons, prime among them is t

There was some utility I found a few years ago that would let me start an X Server and use it to replace the main explorer process. There was some support for standard Windows apps due to the background System processes still running. I thi

Yeah I asked my director if I could rip out the shell and replace it with X Server running in WSL2 and he said it would make the IT people very upset.

It can be ripped out using regedit, I'm sure. It's been a while since I used Windows as a daily driver, but I did oscillate between W10 and Arch for about half a year, and the Arch mentality creeped into Windows. I ended up adding

This comment is specifically called out as a “do not” in the HN guidelines. It’s the very last line: > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills. FWIW, dang

Also in Seattle and at my gym I scan a barcode off my phone and keep my personal biometric data secure. It’s great. Fantastically, no need to explain anything to a front desk person, either. I’m team “solution in search of a problem”

I already stated that I understand the thread that we are in. I’m beginning to think that you don’t and didn’t read where I said that (as an attempt to head off this very reply), or the ggp comment itself, or the OP comment ggp replied to.

It is insane to me that they ask that question in the title of the article and then go on to spoil the big first surprise. “How do we talk to people about these games without spoiling it for them? Oh, I know I will spoil it for everybody wh

The utter inanity of asking, ‘how do you talk about puzzle games when spoilers are devastating’ and then spoiling the supposedly best game in the genre in the next friggin paragraph is driving me absolutely wild.

That’s correct: it was stated to be about ablation. That’s what I took from GP saying “I can recommend BPS Space video about ablation” followed by their opinion of the video. I’m curious, what did you take from them saying “video about abla

I find more and more that those who wave around Hanlon’s razor are doing so to keep something from being looked upon too closely. As if to say, “look any closer and you’ll be cut”. Be it flying monkeys, boot lickers, or the abuser themselve

Every single one of those demons is also a chimera and so if you look, there’s a half elephant, half fish in the top left corner. If you look in the top right, there’s like a half fish half horse. So if you look at the gaping demon butthole

The Doherty threshold is 400 ms. That’s the threshold which you start impacting users focus, and flow. Back in the day, we actually used to aim for that as a user experience metric.

Don’t try to act like that is the discussion we’ve been having. You’re holding Linux on x86 to a Mac on ARM standard. It’s fine if Linux doesn’t meet your standards, but don’t try to act like that’s Linux‘s fault and not your standards’. No

Please be serious, that straw-man is clearly not my point. (I thought you said it was 90# of CRT) There’s definitely a balance between the newest of the newest bleeding edge hardware that we could only have dreamed of five years ago, and st
