Wow core i4900k and 14900ks editions rumored to have 6.0 ghz and 6.20 ghz clock speeds ! I thought we were had hit a 5 ghz ceiling with current tech. What a time to be alive !

Astrology originated with astronomy and then parted ways, in the old days people relied on astrologers to predict when spring would arrive or winter will come, once astronomy separ…

I agree (for quest 2 being the most interesting gadget in this space), quest 2 sold 10s of millions of devices and arguably came closest to making VR mainstream although they have …

Haha yes that’s me every time I upgrade, every new thing you buy is bound to be outshined by the next iteration. The best cpu you can buy is always the next gen going to come soon …

I get why one would feel this way if this was one of Meta’s social media apps, but WhatsApp is one of the biggest messaging apps used in so many countries and perhaps also helped k…

Alright fair that as a human myself I wouldn’t know what I’d fall prey to, but until we can see this in modern times with video recordings and learn more about the actual mechanism…

Ah survivor ship bias I think it’s called, that’s one explanation, but how does the original gene mutation work ? How did it survive for apparently so many generations ? Seems to b…

Sure, but I’d imagine if you’re healthy and strong minded, you’d stop when you’re tired or hungry or something. I guess I’ll be more convinced if someone figures out the mechanism …

I’ve read about these in the past as well and I honestly find it very hard to believe this story as described. Perhaps my own bias for never being inclined to dance is contributing…

Maybe I am missing something, does chatgpt-4 or whatever is the latest actually use the text it’s asked to parse as input prompt ? How would this ever work ? Also my impression was…

Interesting, so why don’t we ever see the word expats associated with the millions of laborers from poorer nations working in the Middle East with no path to citizenship ever refer…

I disagree, I think unless it’s super urgent fix that can’t wait , wait for Monday, folks who are on-call will thank you for this. Also as a culture, it’s big red flag personally t…

Can we at HN at-least refer to the author as immigrant as opposed to expats? what's an expat anyways ? why does the western world to get to make these tiers where they are expats b…
