How many minutes until someone applies to YC with HaaS Co - Helium and facemask as a service subscription startup.

I've found this too, but assumed it was placebo. I lived at 6500' for a while - that was too high. The sweet spot for me is a particular mountain I go to which starts at 1200m and …

I found compute requirements in the github issue tracker: https://github.com/NVlabs/neuralangelo/issues/4 Not good, kinda scary actually

If I could choose between having THC gummies on a long distance flight in economy, vs first with all this fancy VR gear... ha. No contest.

Tim not wearing one. Good observation. I guess Mark keeps humiliating himself and Tim gets to learn from that

More please! Would love to know more

If two people are in a car, 50% of them are driving. If 100 people are on a train, 1% of them are driving. My point here is that even trains with drivers can be considered close to…

Good question. I tested heaps. The winning design by a landslide was a metal plate reflector, with essentially two diamonds around 15mm in front of it, side by side, apx 15mm on th…

I lived and worked (as a coder) on a boat for a number of years. I used long range wifi to steal internet from cafes, LTE, and for worst case, satellite internet (insanely expensiv…

I vaguely remember _years_ ago, someone, perhaps here on HN but not sure, predicted Apple would become a bank. It seemed insane at the time... from memory it was maybe around 2010 …

Thank you! Thank the devs more of course ;) My world depends on writing TBs of data to micro SD cards in difficult environments right at the limit of write speed. These tools are g…

This is perhaps the only HN post where I can say this and maybe not be downvoted: Fuck that bullshit.

He makes a convincing point in favor of swearing in this section: The Motives for Swearing Swearing is a hammer used to drive many nails. Different types are used by different peop…

Ordered. Thanks

50 and 65 are Ok for fish. 75 way too high. 75 would destroy all fish, but hey - most restaurants destroy fish, even specialty seafood places. 50 is great for salmon and tuna. 65 m…

I second this. Precise temperature (with good conduction between the heat source and the food) and time. I've cooked 'sous vide' under a running hot tap in a backpacker, which work…

I can get a new pop up toaster for $10. If you used it for a single meal for four people and threw it away, it would add $2.50pp to the cost of the fish, which these days would be …

It cures humans too. Don't ask me how I know

Can someone validate I have this correct: I can use chatGPT through the browser (chat.openai.com) for free, but to use any of these clients, I need a paid subscription (after the i…

Curious - on a scale out of 10, how much of that was written by ChatGPT? No offense intended - if the answer is zero, my apologies

I love your methodology here, that's awesome

I hope they at least offered to buy notion. They didn't even try to make it seem like they did their own innovation

Uranium + fission -> plutonium though, right?

These models are as valuable as code now. And we know how open source eventually took over pretty much all code. I expect this to be the same, but instead of four decades, it will …

My dream would be mruby or full ruby in Godot. OMG that would be all my xmas's all at once
