I work in another sector of the entertainment industry, music. There are exceptions that prove the rule, but I do think there’s something about the quality of a person’s output that changes as they age. Maybe it’s brain elasticity. Maybe it

I can’t confirm the quote online but I remember Julia Child saying in one of her shows that it’s easy to make a good omelette and almost impossible to make a great omelette.

I’m sorry but your solution is “don’t own a car?”

Actually an even more cost effective way would be to buy a used 1-year old top of the line MacBook Pro on FBM with cash and then sell it a year later and rinse, wash, repeat. But that’s a lot of having to deal with FBM.

Knitting has long been a highly political activity. Knitting in public by women during the French Revolution was an audacious act of gender equality. And tennis? Goodness surely you’re aware of the modern political ramifications of tennis t

I gave this a real shot, but I found it impossible to use the email client. There are basic things like collapsing replies (in a conversation with multiple lawyers no less, damn do they love their email signatures) are extremely important.

Surely we’re aware of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 yes? It spells out exactly what they are doing, & where they are going. Eliminating birthright citizenship is a key component dating back decades. https://www.herit

I just finished Michael Christie’s Greenwood, a generational epic on family and, well, trees. Part of the book takes place in a future where the only trees left in the world are on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia where the

So, ends justifies the means. Got it. I guess I’m old enough to remember when 99.9% of us on hacker news were…well, hackers. We valued privacy and freedom over surveillance and “results.” I miss those days.

How is this comment on hacker news? Do we not understand basic principles of scale? 40 billion of corruption is way more corrupt than 400k. And what’s more is penalizing the 400k without penalizing the 400b means the people getting the 400b

I have fond memories of this software as a kid. I used it on an Apple IIE at school. It felt powerful. You - a kid!! - could create a newspaper. It had a cartoon feel to it, but I never felt like the software condescended to me as a kid. It

I try not to be too critical of things by strangers on the internet, but I feel compelled to say that as a big fan of the type of fiction this seems to be going for - a kind of Franzen/DeLillo/Ishigoro aka mystical non momentousne

I’ve taken this line - as many have and do all the time. Ride it once and you’ll realize why it’s the better way to travel in every way but cost and time - and both of those are a result of the United State unwillingness to fully fund somet

I’m glad you went through that and came out ok. It seems though, increasingly, that the ability to avoid addiction is less about pulling one up by one’s own bootstraps, and in many ways determined more by genetics. That is to say, what migh

I think this is where a lot of freelance contractors could pivot to - basically "last mile" coding, where the LLM does the front end work, and then high hourly pay engineers come in and fix the work. it'd still be cheaper tha

thanks for the correction I hear you but at least as my bud described it, the software that most of the timber mill industry uses is buggy as hell, crashes all the time, and makes mistakes. One would wonder if even the licensed software is

I have three teenage kids and they’ve all switched to wired. Many of their friends have as well. It has nothing to do with fashion or retro vibes, as far as I can tell. They’ve all lost too many AirPods through the years. AirPods just too e

I think you’re missing the point and approaching this with a myopically binary perspective. Just because you consider AI an interface in line with, perhaps, a paintbrush, typewriter, or spell checker, doesn’t mean it automatically is . It

Your username checks out! As someone who’s played a lot of video games, very few gameshave come close to the experience that was Outer Wilds. Textbook definition of a game I wish I could forget so I could play again for the first time.

I didn’t find the DLC quite as good as the OG however the storyline is excellent, and I actually liked most of the puzzles; I say actually because the puzzles are its most often critiqued part.

Do it! You’ll likely thank us later. The controls are wonky but it’s not a AAA title, so there are things about it that are a little rough for sure.

This is a case where it may be that people are outsourcing shitty user experiences to an AI. I’m not a huge ebayer but I’m usually watching one or two auctions at a time. The problem is that you can’t disallow marketing notifications. So,
