How good are these detectors? (Serious question— I’ve never had a reason to use one)

Out of context it does sound like AInese. I think that’s largely because AI has a tendency to use location in very metaphorical terms that don’t quite read, and usually the idea of…

Can you recommend a specific home assistant community to check out?

To be clarify for everyone: both of the cited articles argue in favor of HPV vaccination. I assumed they would be arguing against since the comment is arguing against, but that is …

Sure, sure. I’m not arguing for removing drivers for uncommon devices, or even rare devices. But there’s a line somewhere. Maybe it’s at “devices that no longer exist.” But I think…

Is the parent really being sarcastic? I read it as genuine. There’s presumably plenty of code bloat in the kernel, and while no human would ever scan for bugs in a corner of the ke…

> They can determine how much each work contributed based on those weights, so it's dishonest for them to argue it isn't possible. I don’t know about impossible but it’s definitely…

My first impression when the Leaf image loaded was that you were being overdramatic. The Ferrari website created the impression of a similar but fundamentally more elegant car (not…

Ignoring the spiritual part, emotional state does have a well-known feedback loop with physical state. There’s a (largely incorrect) idea in pop psychology that just as happiness l…

Requires the MacOS desktop app. Windows "coming soon," but still no word on an official Linux app.

The good is hidden: court systems are already overwhelmed. If the arbitration cases were added, then it’d take even longer to get a court date. (Which isn’t to say I think the syst…

Are you arguing that eventually a competitor will emerge that does support OpenClaw with a subscription model? Wouldn’t that just be more expensive for the exact same reason Anthro…

I know for a fact [1] that the neuroscientific discoveries were not independent of physics: the people doing the developing were largely former physicists. They likely didn't cite …

The irony is that youth are simulatenously the biggest consumers of (new) social media, and the staunchest haters [EDIT: this is directly contradicted by the research article I fou…

I was so with you the first half of that. But the notion that everything should be capitalism is just as wrong as the notion that nothing should be capitalism (or, that capitalism …

Lots of good suggestions. However for Svelte in particular I’ve had a lot of trouble. You can get good results as long as you don’t care about runes and Svelte 5. It’s too new, and…

Those prices seem geared toward people who are completely price insensitive, who just want "the best" at any cost. If the margins on that premium model are as high as they should b…

Interesting! I imagine speech-related motor artifacts don't help matters either, even if noise starts mattering less at scale.

Really cool dataset! Love seeing people actually doing the hard work of generating data rather than just trying to analyze what exists (I say this as someone who’s gone out of his …

This isn’t really “Show HN” so you might want to remove that, but looks really awesome! https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I was initially skeptical of this claim because I’d previously learned that to cross the blood-brain barrier particles need to be ~200nm (PM2.5 = 2500nm). However, PM2.5 does seem …

Doesn’t this mean browser sandboxing is secure, not JS? Or are you referring to some specific aspect of JS I’m not aware of? (I’m not aware of a lot of JS) It’s maybe a nit-pick, s…

It’s partially that for sure, but I think it’s also a kind of “common sense” feeling of the public that if people use technology to commit a crime, there must therefore be a record…

First of all, you absolutely cannot release an OS with a known zero day. IANAL but that feels a lot like negligence that creates liability. But even ignoring that, the gulf between…

If you can write tests fast enough, you can specify those business rules on the fly. The ideal case is that tests always reflect current business rules. Usually that may be infeasi…
