On my older android phone I always have problems watching anything with bluetooth headphones adding so much lag that the video gets very desynced with the audio. So I will continue to use wired headphones (now via usb-c adapter since the d

It looks really good in the video uploaded, but when I tried it myself it didn't look the same and was hard to tell what was going on. Not sure what the issue is.

I loved math, chemistry, and physics, but I hated biology for some similar reasons to the author. In chemistry or physics I felt like I was actively problem solving, learning about systems and how to manipulate them. By contrast in my biolo

I almost upgraded my computer a year or two ago, but decided to hold off for a bit longer. I've always been fine with being "behind" on the latest and greatest. I don't mind watching a movie, playing a game, buying a ce

With Firefox on my windows computer I never get unsolvable recaptchas or have any issues with Cloudflare.

I believe it that US food is more expensive and lower quality. I was just thinking about bread in the US specifically. When I go to the grocery store here the bread is relatively expensive, and the vast majority of it is full of chemical

I think we are reaching a point where some kind of solid attestation that things are not AI generated would be very valuable, for all kinds of different media (printed word, photo, video, etc). I'm not sure how you would actually do

There are definitely many open questions around things like what tasks is AI appropriate for, how involved should you be in the process (fully automated agent swarms, or planning steps back and forth with human input on every decision), at

In my experience there is little you can do to "mitigate" that kind of thing outside of running the game completely server-side, which usually makes a tiny project into a much larger undertaking.

The only time I asked a question on stack overflow I took a very long time crafting it, and was immediately closed as a "duplicate" of something that it clearly wasn't a duplicate of. Tried explaining how it wasn't a du

I tend to see the opposite problem. Some of the programming adjacent subreddits are completely swamped in posts that are clearly AI generated thinly veiled advertisements.

I was curious so to get a very rough ballpark figure. So I went to the Wikipedia List of largest mergers and acquisitions article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_mergers_and_ac... ) Added up all the free

I think the idea that AI leads to some kind of universal basic income or frees us up for leisure is misguided. There was a point in time when the majority of people were basically required to work on producing bare necessities like food. B

This reads to me as AI generated. Apparently it's still good enough to the general audience to be the #1 post on HN right now though. Which is honestly a troubling signal for the state of the world...

I have a PlayStation and I exclusively buy my games via discs. On the other hand, these days I exclusively buy computer games via digital download (mostly via Steam). I have more consumer confidence that digital games on my computer will

There's a popular quote: "good artists copy, great artists steal". I've always interpreted "steal" in that context as taking a technique or an inspiration from something, but making it fully your own in your e

I don't think we will in the HN snark sense of "this react site or electron app uses way too much memory". Those companies will continue to work in the same way, maybe even less efficiently as people chase modern UIs with ex

I think it's not uncommon for good animations to cheat a bit while in motion, rather than look perfect on every frame. Like how cartoons can use smear frames that look bizarre when paused at the wrong time but when viewed as part of

I made my own daily golf game a couple years ago; honestly it isn't even really finished but it gets a couple thousand plays every day somehow. It's more like a 2d platform golf: https://squigglegolf.com/game/

I think starlink made intuitive sense; we already use satellites to transfer data for phone service and TV channels, a satellite can "see" a large area to service, the technology was there already, etc. Starlink provides a servic

Some kind of vouching or scoring might make sense to help qualify contributions and many people have suggested similar recently. If by "ELO-based system" you meant "some kind of scoring system (not based on Elo)". The E

What do you really want to use a tablet for? The main use I see from people is watching netflix or youtube. There are lots of ipads that are basically just expensive youtube machines. So in that sense a cheap ipad might be seen by some as

Seems like a pretty bad business move if it's really what they're doing. They should want devs using the product on a cheaper subscription to see the value with profitable limits on usage. I think the only reason to do this would

Try putting it outside for a while if you can. Most bonsai are meant to live outside really. Sometimes a very dead looking tree can spring back to life if given the right conditions. But other times a tree can enter a death spiral that se

I think it's a mixed bag. In some ways you are manipulating the tree in a way that could be harmful (trimming, putting in small pots, wiring etc). But in other ways you end up providing much more care and attention to your bonsai tha

I'm confused about what the AI is doing, since it seems like a WSYWIG site editor. The AI is just to apply the changes? Why not have the WSYWIG just apply it directly if that is how you build the site?

I used to do online interviews with full access to Google or any online resource (so long as you shared your screen and I could see). Use your own code editor, no penalty at all for searching up syntax or anything else. I always asked a si
