    I wonder if the hardware is old-school, or if they put a modern microcontroller in it?

    It really is an indictment of this site that any mention of the genocide in Gaza is flagged almost instantly.

    I wonder about the world where, instead of investing in AI, everyone invested in API . Like, surfacing APIs, fostering interoperability... I don't want an AI agent, but I might be …

    I was hoping to see the questions (which I can probably find online), but also the answers from models and the judge's scores! Am I missing a link? Without that I can't tell whethe…

    Thanks, I was annoyed that the article didn't cite the actual law in question, but the BBC comes in with "Port of London Thames Byelaws, clause 36.2" https://www.bbc.com/news/artic…

    Can we agree that the language of sexual violence is inappropriate in this context?

    I appreciate that you can make your nails fancy on a budget (e.g. using nail stamping). I enjoy having trimmed nails as well, because having very long nails can make certain tasks …

    Looking at the replies to, say, https://x.com/aoc , it seems pretty steered to me. If you want to hear replies from her supporters, good luck getting through a few hundred blue che…

    That's what I find most offensive about the use of LLMs in education: it can readily produce something in the shape of a logical argument, without actually being correct. I'm worri…

    To me, this is the same as the "loyalty cards" that provide "discounts" in U.S. grocery chains like Kroger's & Ralph's. They've already decided to take your money with higher price…

    My mondegreen for this is "Even a stuffed croc tells the right time twice a day" (which, if you look at its jaws...) I think my favorite Orbital jam is Impact USA https://www.youtu…

    This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?

    What fills out that $60 BOM? Obviously the stylish case isn't cheap, but I'm wondering what else makes it expensive.

    Yeah, I had the same thought. $169?! I get that it's specialty geekware, but with enough popularity that I would have guessed the price would be in line with the Arduino. Like, $50…

    Is this different from Rubber Duck Debugging?

    My brain immediately translated the headline into "One in five young Americans is a trollish little asshole." It's well known that actual belief and poll answers do not align, but …

    I think you're right, but I'm wondering whether cars will be designed with this feature for that happens. The article does a decent job of showing how "Fact Checkers" failed to spr…

    I'm really surprised at the number of people on the side of the telecoms here. I think it's reasonable to want consistent pricing and quality of service, particularly in cities. Re…

    I think it's reasonable to ask if the Japanese arbitrage actually ever took place, particularly at the scale he claimed it did. It comes off a lot like Charles Ponzi's postal coupo…

    Some time ago I made an animation of a Hilbert curve with sections transitioning between levels. As simple as it is, it's kind of fun to watch. https://ehq.com/rloop2.svg

    It's sad how quickly "JS demonstration with non-male viewpoint" gets buried on HN, with comments and downvotes.

    I uninstalled TikTok because it turned into a time-wasting attention sink. I'm fine with YouTube proper, but YouTube Shorts is essentially TikTok in a trenchcoat. There really, rea…
