Korea has an amazing system for getting help. Every table has a little doorbell on it. If you need something, you click the button and a server comes. Otherwise, no one bugs you. I wish that sort of system would take off here.

As someone who runs something similar, but for stained glass I'm going to go against the grain here and commend you on your data set. I think a lot of posters here are unfamiliar with how time consuming gathering these datapoints can b

I'm working on hunting down as much publicly accessible stained glass and mapping it. No exciting libraries or frameworks, but if you know of some great stained glass in your area, please document it! https://stainedglassatl

If they could get "Hey Siri, play 'Song Title' by 'Band Name'" to open the Music app and play the song I ask for, that's the extent that I give a damn about AI being introduced to iOS.

I'm not confident that any of us will ever see lower prices due to green energy. Why would the power company who currently makes $XX billions of dollars per year ever provide that same service for $(XX-YY) billions of dollars per year

I'm guessing there's a sizable portion of the HN crowd that are millenials. Millenials who have paid the costs of the Boomer/GenX generations absolute destruction of the "American Dream" for their own benefit. They

The irony of someone using AI trained on stolen copyrighted art to generate "art" and then wanting to copyright said "art" is hilarious.

Yeah, but does it have CarPlay yet? It's a complete deal breaker despite Rivian being essentially the only company who offers a BEV pickup truck of a reasonable size.

I don't think it is accurate for the opposite reason. If my wife and I made what the "living wage" was for two working adults, we'd be living with her parents. It is laughably low for the cost of living in this area.

It's a simple cost/benefit analysis that (rightly) causes the massive AI backlash. For the average Joe, non-tech worker, the cons of AI are: * Higher electricty bills. * 5-6x cost of RAM, GPUs, and other computer components * Data

In a perfect world, AI would be used to reduce the amount of work humans must do, to free up their time to make more art. Not used to replace human expression with soulless slop generated from art stolen from other artists. That's why

You have not made that argument or given any details on why you think that might be the case. I know a lot of people interested in an EV pickup, but who aren't going to spend Rivian money on a vehicle. There are zero options for a $4

You shouldn't ever lease a vehicle either. Unless you like setting piles of your money on fire.
