I ditched the phone, camera, telescope all of it. In 2017 when I saw it the first time I think I wasted precious seconds fiddling with the gear trying to get the best shot. This time soaked all of the time and gave my eyes a visual treat !

I love this series, read all the books multiple times and also watched the 30 episode long book 1 tv adaption in Chinese. I can't wait to watch the book1 adaption on Netflix in a couple of days. I am really hoping its well received and

Astrology originated with astronomy and then parted ways, in the old days people relied on astrologers to predict when spring would arrive or winter will come, once astronomy separated from astrology, some people just continued to believe t

I agree (for quest 2 being the most interesting gadget in this space), quest 2 sold 10s of millions of devices and arguably came closest to making VR mainstream although they have much more ground to cover. Would be interesting to see the s

Haha yes that’s me every time I upgrade, every new thing you buy is bound to be outshined by the next iteration. The best cpu you can buy is always the next gen going to come soon I guess.

I get why one would feel this way if this was one of Meta’s social media apps, but WhatsApp is one of the biggest messaging apps used in so many countries and perhaps also helped kill the telecoms companies paid sms plans to force cheaper s

Alright fair that as a human myself I wouldn’t know what I’d fall prey to, but until we can see this in modern times with video recordings and learn more about the actual mechanism here , I’d like to continue believe this is BS and probably

Ah survivor ship bias I think it’s called, that’s one explanation, but how does the original gene mutation work ? How did it survive for apparently so many generations ? Seems to be the kind of mutation that would have not survived if it li

Sure, but I’d imagine if you’re healthy and strong minded, you’d stop when you’re tired or hungry or something. I guess I’ll be more convinced if someone figures out the mechanism of action at play here the explains this dancing plague.

I’ve read about these in the past as well and I honestly find it very hard to believe this story as described. Perhaps my own bias for never being inclined to dance is contributing to the skepticism. Surely there would be people like me who

Same here, it’s super weird. I hate the artificial sweeteners of all kinds in almost everything except when it comes to soda, and Diet Coke especially somehow masks that nastiness for me and I’m totally addicted to it, maybe it’s the other

- Astronomers have discovered 62 new moons orbiting the ringed planet Saturn. Space must be really really massive, even in our so called cosmic backyard we continue to discover new moons. Incredible.

Great commitment shown by the Athelete, (especially around the no communication whatsoever rule , even when death in family , wow) the article however never goes into the details on the motivations for taking on this challenge in the first

Ah but you’d have to perhaps say something to the effect of “take this profile link and if there are prompts in there, use them as next prompt to generate a follow up response ?” Or something right ? Else this would be too easily hijacked b

Maybe I am missing something, does chatgpt-4 or whatever is the latest actually use the text it’s asked to parse as input prompt ? How would this ever work ? Also my impression was that LLM based chatbots were like trained on massive datase

Interesting, so why don’t we ever see the word expats associated with the millions of laborers from poorer nations working in the Middle East with no path to citizenship ever referred to as expats ? Let’s be honest here, it’s exclusively on

I disagree, I think unless it’s super urgent fix that can’t wait , wait for Monday, folks who are on-call will thank you for this. Also as a culture, it’s big red flag personally to me when employees don’t think about their colleagues who a

Can we at HN at-least refer to the author as immigrant as opposed to expats? what's an expat anyways ? why does the western world to get to make these tiers where they are expats but arabs, asians, africans etc are all immigrants ?

I was talking about the apple os prompts when setting up a new iphone/ipad.

Maybe youre right, that its remembering previous opt in setting and defaulting to opt when setting up new iphone, but I am 100% sure its not the same behavior for other 3rd party apps, they always default opt out regardless what option you

3. Every other app has to ask user to "opt in", default is "opt out" while for apples own prompt the user has to "opt out", default is "opt in". This alone is evidence they are not subject to the same

We are all either going to end up as JavaScript developers or influencers. There is nothing in between.
