I share your “rare grip” precisely and also adopted it to alleviate pinky pain. To add another anecdote to the pile I also prefer UI elements at the top although a toggle in settings or at least a configuration file would be best. I don’

Thanks for posting this. As someone who was almost religiously excited about GPT3 then progressively more annoyed that I could never get access to the point of giving up this is wonderful news. Your blog post is an invaluable starting po

Just point them at a multipool and you can set it up to auto-switch to whatever "shitcoin" is currently most profitable and auto convert everything to BTC (or your output coin of choice). As someone who lived through the original

Wow thanks for the tip on "Blood-Evil" been a fan for decades and it never occurred to me. Also was really into Gescom back in the day so maybe people who like hiding data in recordings have good taste.

Well said. Reading Banks was the first time as an adult that I had hope for the future. The resulting exhilaration literally kept me up for a couple days. Later the same year he passed and it brought home to me the gratitude I have to hi

Your argument doesn’t follow. How would being a software developer be the worst job because they “automate their own work away” when in fact they’d have a job until they automated everyone’s work away? It’s likely a given developer wou

Wow Nadella just passed Ballmer as my least favorite Microsoft CEO. Who could possibly endorse this idea in good faith? It sounds like something you’d use to keep 10-13 year olds accountable for schoolwork not something fitting for adul

This is an excellent question that I’ve never seen addressed. Replying just to call attention to it in the hopes that someone knowledgeable HN’ers can answer. It seems like cloud would quickly become a commodity but I have no special ins

Ok that explains how space becomes timelike. But I never hear anyone address how time becomes spacelike. In what sense does it become spacelike? Can one move back and forth in time inside the event horizon?

Can anyone point to anything to support the state’s case here? It seems perverse and like they’re not even pretending to seek justice.

The substance starting with a D was probably Dextroamphetamine. It’s the old standard and has been around forever. It’s basically Adderall with just the R isomer rather than a mixture of Levo & Dextro isomers.

The local library here makes a point of never keeping a history of what books you’ve checked out. It’s actually been a problem for me when trying to remember something I read a few years back. They’re pretty big proponents of privacy.

Hypothetically because I’d be using it as a monitor part time and using the built in shit the other part of the time? In actuality I do as you suggest and don’t ever connect the thing to the internet. Operation Weeping Angel was enough t

So if I’m using a Samsung TV as a monitor and working on sensitive or classified material the damn thing is taking screenshots and uploading them? Yikes

The management maybe. I have a hard time believing that the rank and file engineers get to call the shots on this garbage. I have no special insight into how Samsung works internally though.

Comsider the situation if they removed the bathrooms. What’s the plan when inevitably somebody didn’t plan ahead or gets sick? A very unpleasant ride / the whole cabin watching their fellow flyer urinate (or worse) in the aisle? See
