its like how 30 years ago when people would numblessly flip through hundreds of cable channels for hours, but with endless tailored content and extra dopamine shots on top from social feedback its very telling how, while youtube (classic) a

Apparently the whole scene was a single spline. Assuming it was indeed a single RT render take, its definitely a jaw dropping demo. Curious to learn if this turns out to be just vaporware or actually an epic redemption arc.

Many businesses already have WhatsApp as the exclusive channel of communication. So its either have a Meta account, or become locked out of a subset of services. Not to mention how many work/social groups use also WhatsApp exclusively.

Midjourney to me feels like bowling with bumpers Sure, its very easy to get good results fast, but the tuning that avoids "uglier" images is the same that removes a lot of versatility compared to SD Also controlnet is a killer fea

Yes, in theory around 40% -> 50%, with it fluctuating over time. However in practice imported electronics tend to cost up to about 100% then their original price abroad for several reasons, usually but not exclusively related to difficul

In case you are into self-hosting, although Mealie's ( https://mealie.io ) main feature is recipes, it also has a meal planner.

Indeed, I stand corrected. Also, TIL that Dune and Dune II were both released in the same year (1992) by two different studios with different genres, with the latter eclipsing the former, despite the former apparently being quite good for w

Technically it didn't, it was more of an RTS game while 4X tends to be more complex and last longer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4X#Complexity Although it was indeed a great game and am also looking forward

You mentioned Amsterdam as a location, but I didn't find anything in the "Disney Streaming Services" listings. Am I missing something?

This. Why on earth would an organization invest resources in a productivity tool which is by design optimized to make you procrastinate?

Agreed. If I understood correctly, the recent experiment possibly indicated that socio-economical factors can influence more the future "success" of a subject than other variables, e.g. delayed gratification. The original experime

Don't really agree with most comments trashing this hypothetical deal, bringing up the Skype precedent. Its been what, 2 years since the Linked-in and Xamarin acquisitions? Nothing seems to have changed. Microsoft just seems to know th

I agree. However, not everyone is convinced of such faults. There is still a considerable part of the current political movements that still believe that: a) neoliberal democracy is perfect, and any failure is only the fault of who has fail

I like to compare Rand's work with Marx's. When I read the "Communist Manifesto" and - part of - "The Capital", I was impressed by Marx's critique of capitalism. Most of his hypotheses (back from the 19th

I can't recommend "Amusing Ourselves to Death" enough, especially in the light of the most recent election processes the world is witnessing. Neil Postman's thesis is both timely and - unfortunately - eerie.

I couldn't agree more. Breaking objectives/goals in small tasks, and then transforming such small tasks in habits works very well for me. I recommend habitica.com as a tool for such organization (btw, I have no affiliation to the

Congrats, great concept and delivery! As feedback, I'm noticing that some thumbnails for specific types of urls (e.g. PDF's and Ask HN) aren't being generated correctly, and just get a solid color. Maybe a static icon represe

Out of curiosity, if you are such a OS X/homebrew fan, why not try a Hackintosh setup? I don't know if you can get a dual-boot working well with OS X, but worst case scenario you can have a HD for each OS (after all, you have a de

Really? Three of my last five jobs came from Linked-in. I find it very convenient to have offers come-in out of the blue, only having to pay the cost of tweaking my profile once a year, and occasionally skimming/deleting random recruit
