I'm having trouble believing an AI did this. I mean, I know it did, and I trust HN to call BS. But ... it's just too perfectly imperfect. You can almost spot the cardboard headwear. I literally can't convince myself an AI did

"Overall, we found that warnings have no effect on affective responses to negative material nor on educational outcomes (i.e., comprehension). However, warnings reliably increase anticipatory affect. Findings on avoidance were mixed, s

Oh it is totally passive-aggressive coersion. The notion of "poor performers" is a sign of bad management. They bloat the company to where they can no longer get their billion dollar handouts, er, payouts, and then take it out on

Sure, it is a remotely controlled gun. The question is: do we want to allow this? Without going all slippery slope on this debate, I don't think we've had time to think through the consequences of a precision remote-controlled gun

Found the boomer. You're right, the goal is to feel disappointed. Isn't that what your generation was about, "Disappointment builds character" and all that toxic nonsense?

Totally. A computer is worth tens of thousands of board feet of wood. Until I could afford a house and woodworking tools, this (and music) were my two primary creative outlets.

Same here! I started cooking like an adult around age 30, and then really got into it around 35, but didn't feel confident enough to feed large groups until my late 40's. Now I'm in my 50's and love throwing parties and

Engineers like woodworking because they spend so much time often building intangible things (like software engineers), that it satisfies an unmet need to hold, feel, or experience their creations in a tactile way. Thus said a therapist I ha

Of course, some people love velveeta. But if that's all you've ever had... I thought the smiley face on my comment was a dead giveaway.

> The thing is, wine quality is entirely subjective. The article says it isn't. And I agree. Go buy a two-buck chuck at Trader Joe's, and a $50 Chateauneuf de Pape from 2018. One is an acrid, acidic fruit punch, the other is a

TL;DR -- "Wine is not fake. Wine experts aren’t fake either, but they believe some strange things, are far from infallible, and need challenges and blinded trials to be kept honest. How far beyond wine you want to apply this is left as

IT is such a big domain. Can you be more specific? I've been coding for 35+ years across an extremely broad range of topics and can't get enough of it. I do it on my free time. I've worked for a dozen companies and at least a

Huh. Did I not expand a comment somewhere? Because I didn't see anyone citing the correct material.

Its funny how the comments section of this question on stackexchange.com are people complaining to @jonk that his answer is irrational when he's just reciting material, yet they double down on their position despite his objection. Does

I have been working on small motion camera devices like this using off-the-shelf parts, and getting 1080p to stream over wifi with arducams is nontrivial. There's a lot of special MCU features you need or you're effed: enough GPIO

I just fixed some neural-net code to use #7. I hate passing pointers to layers that have a fixed size, and passing an array causes problems sometimes that require too many cats. Typedef array pointer to the sized array is precisely what I n

The switch/case anywhere looks equally useful and dangerous, and is so close to assembly that it really illustrates the low-level capabilities of C.

I don't think you understand my opinion very well. At no point did I say I do not wish to understand other people's opinions. But I don't speak in their culture, so I need it explained to me. That's literally what libera
