That's pretty funny. I wonder how it came to that conclusion? Seems like a stretch that someone would have discussed that technique on a reddit thread it was trained on, but defini…

I asked Claude if it was sentient/aware once after an oddly human interaction, and it said, "There's nothing it's like to be me", basically responding in the negative. And when pus…

I'm being slightly snarky, but good luck watching a TV if you're doing an intense/valuable sauna session. When I'm in my dry sauna and really pushing myself with the heat and steam…

I'm sure it was also for his own sake/sanity. He took two ~9-month sabbaticals toward the last half, which was not the norm for cartoonists at the time.

I was going to comment something similar. I think I'm about the same age as the commenter grew up reading C&H, and also had a disaffected attitude. I don't think it was Calvin that…

eureka!

Aren't they attempting to also display current time though? Your share is a clock starting at midnight/noon. Kimi K2 seems to be the best on each refresh.

I don't think this is the argument you want it to be, unless you're acknowledging the power of the Chinese government and their ability to suppress and destroy evidence. Even so th…

Yeah I just ordered one. The effectiveness of this HN post plus this parent comment has me convinced they're in cahoots.

> Fixing problems is not as simple as giving someone money I've heard the exact opposite. Usually it's the strings attached that end up being perfect for the corrupt to grab onto a…

It sounds like you're conflating legal arguments with moral ones. You're saying animals lack rights so it's morally okay to enslave/make use of them? I'd argue it's much baser than…

I don't consider late 20s and early 30s to be "kids" though.

Peter Giunta, who said "I love Hitler" and "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber", is 31 years old. The others in the group are in their 20s..

I guess the interesting thing is they built and maintained a nest which looked mostly like a colony. The colony's food source being the fresh falling ants you mentioned. > "In tota…

thanks I probably misspell that one a lot

From the Snopes: > Some viewers took the video a little too literally, however, and were surprised at Koko's pithy and timely exhortation to heed the perils of global warming. But …

I cook over easy eggs a few times a week in my cast iron. Works great. I've also done it in stainless steel and while it does work there's a bit more of a learning curve imo. Have …

But escape velocity refers to objects with mass, which light is without. Really its more about bending spacetime so much that light among all else gets trapped in a well of it.

Honestly sounds like you're just disconnected from the culture. There are plenty of creative novels coming out these days. For a specific example check out Adrian Tchaikovsky's wor…

I'm with you here. I think talking about both is important but its a false dichotomy. I would classify "psychologically addictive" as something that makes a little voice in my head…

I believe this is existentialism, not nihilism. They both start from the premise that the universe is inherently meaningless, but in existentialism you can create meaning while in …

I just watched episode 4 of Atlanta last night and Donald Glover's character had a really good monologue about being poor after finding out his friend had helped him turn 190$ into…

>People who start at 9 don't enjoy their morning any more than I do. I am a morning person which means I really treasure my morning coffee and jazz music and reading time. I wake u…

I love doing peloton classes via the screen thingy a la black mirror. I had access to one at my old apartment complex and did it 2-3 times a week for about a year. If I wasn't stil…

If you load the site again it should be using tls. I opted to separate concerns and threw Cloudflare(free tier) in front of it. You might be wondering, well okay its encrypted betw…
