Nitpick: the model is 100m x 100m roughly, so 10,000m^2 which is 0.01km^2

Here's a representative example that my father in law (in his 70s) shared with me the other day: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs

I made it back to the surface and started feeling that familiar dizziness / light headed sensation. Not sure how to explain. Similar to when you stand up too quickly sometimes and feel like you're going to pass out. I started swim

I love freediving. But I almost blacked out and drowned once when I was doing it alone, hours hike away from anyone. Sure enough, I was using hyperventilation, which I didn't know back then was a big mistake. When I think back about it

The point is that if you have to say it's made with real cheese, the food is complete junk. Even though the cheese may technically be real.

I suspect it's this part: "This ticket was priced in GBP, not INR. Because the journey originated in Manchester, the fare is denominated in the currency of the origin country: the United Kingdom." So: the currency is the one

I've been reading No Mud, No Lotus recently ( https://www.parallax.org/product/no-mud-no-lotus/ ) by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and this is very much the same advice. This book has brought me immense joy, I&#x2

I know you're being facetious but I wanted to say, a friend of mine's kid recently got diagnosed with elevated lead levels in his blood, likely caused by eating contaminated dirt from their backyard. So... test before you try it,

As far as I know you only get a ticket if you're actually parked there when the sweeper comes by. There's a parking cop car following the sweeper and ticketing the cars. You're allowed to re-park in the street after the sweep

You could. The fix is easy. The problem was the painfully long debugging in order to find the root cause of the issue.

Not necessarily. Youtube makes extensive use of third-party CDNs. A lot of the videos aren't coming from their servers at all. I believe that's also why it's so hard for them to embed the ad directly in the video. They instea

I'm a big fan of Everything (and recently donated to the developer). I tried this Google app and was pleased to see that it seems just as fast as Everything for local file search. Presumably they use the same underlying mechanism for s

The benefit of single-header, specifically, is that it's super easy to integrate with any project. You don't need to mess with your build system, or the library's build system, just include the file and you're good to go

It's a joke. People often have conspiracy theories about Big Pharma trying to prevent access to novel drugs that could disrupt their cash cows. The parent was jokingly talking about "Big Reality" as an imaginary group of peop

This made me realize that I have absolutely no idea what was going on in Africa during medieval times (and only a sliver of an idea in Europe).

"The bel is named in the honor of Alexander Bell; this is in the same tradition that prompted us to name the “wat” in honor of James Watt." This line killed me. I literally laughed out loud.

Absolutely awesome! I know nothing about music production but I want to play with it just for fun. Maybe a very simplified, web-based version for people who just to play a bit? Would be awesome. Congrats on the hard work and the launch, in

I was actually meaning to post this as an Ask HN question, but never found the time to word it well. Basically, what happens to new frameworks and technologies in the age of widespread LLM-assisted coding? Will users be reluctants to adopt
