I hereby declare this to be the future! We made it folks. Time to pack it up. See you in a 2002 LAN party.

When I first read this I was surprised by how seriously you took your measurements of food and loled. Your example on the end makes sense though. Interesting for certain.

The equivalent in the US is Vint Hill Farms, Virginia. Cold War CIA base used as a listening post primarily, but also to test things like fire suppression and rumored to be a home of Agent Orange. It was an EPA Superfund site (aka so horrib

Haven’t we been here before? It seems like it’s very similar to the branch prediction exploits of the late 2010s. Is there something particularly novel about this class of exploits?

I don’t think it’s about being equal. To think about it selfishly, then we would have nothing to gain from it. Friendship, like many relationships, is about the unique equilibrium struck that makes you both feel and be better, more than if

The role of a teacher has been flipped on its head now that everyone can have a teacher in their pocket. Teachers have the advantage of expressing the human part of education: finding the fun, meaning and enthusiasm over the learned history

Isn’t that what the DMV is in the US?

I want to say that it’s not a linear relationship between hardness and cognitive function. There’s something about putting effort into biting something and it “giving” that, to me, makes this super satisfying and kinda puts me into a flow i

Like any terminal disease, when you hear someone in your periphery become seriously ill, you think about them, say some kind and comforting words and if religious, pray in their way for their recovery. When you or a loved one get the bombsh

Maybe this is an obtuse question but what brought you to HN as a non-dev?

Why not have some sort of VCS provider do something similar to Medium/Substack/etc. where access is generally free but frequently prompts you to subscribe/donate before access?

The concept of being able to simulate 42 years of “experience” in one hour seems so foreign to me. Something about it creeps me out.

This looks cool but intimidating - is this something that is accessible to beginners?

This is an irate response to a perfectly fine comment. What about AI on HN is ruffling your feathers?

Is this related to Verizon going down recently?

What kind of edge does such intel give? Their work (bitcoin) spawned thousands and thousands of people who have taken the foundational technology and made many improvements to it. It seems like trying to figure out who they are incentivizes

So I’m more junior so I don’t understand why this letter is controversial. Is it not important to meet your business goals in a crunch and address systemic issues in some sort of post mortem or retro? I do understand that there exists “mana
