    A sibling and me constructed a con-lang, and we tried reverse polish order where you say the terms before the connectives. It failed badly. While it's easy to construct sentences t…

    I believe that you are more real than Donald Duck if and only if the future is not yet determined. In philosophy, theories of time are categorized in A- and B- theories [1]. In B-t…

    Author here. I chose tkinter because it's included in Python, or so I thought. I wanted to minimize the complexity of installation. The README lists alternatives and why I find the…

    Backblaze is terrible, but you will likely only find out when you need to restore. When backup excluded some files, they blamed antivirus software and recommended to go without. Th…

    That's why I'd like to see a web archive doing this, so that most publicly accessible content gets a timestamp. That way, it would be suspicious to present an image of an event in …

    This can also be done anonymously for private files, as a feature of backup systems. That way, you could get the ability to prove to anyone that a certain piece of content was crea…

    Ask HN: Can cryptographic time-stamping protect our history from deepfakes?

    As the rate and quality of AI-generated content keeps increasing, it seems inevitable that it will become easier to create fake content and harder to verify/refute it. I keep think…

    Lucidity might not be required. I once solved a math problem in a non-lucid dream, and after waking up I could confirm the solution was correct.

    Well, your customers are mostly going to be human. For instance, I'm a human and I'd love to spend $500 for someone, who knows what they're doing, to coach/guide me over chat/email…

    I would greatly appreciate a service that fills this need, but your approach has a bad smell. The second you mention using AI for generation, I'm no longer interested. I'd rather p…
