    Can this be used to make hyper-realistic video games, or it's not that real-time yet?

    This is so messed up! Hack Club has done and is doing amazing things for teens and young adults who love to build things. Shame on you Salesforce.

    Interesting takes. I got a sort of "Yom Kippur Vidui" vibe from this if anyone else in the tribe is reading haha. Read responsively "We are destroying software by no longer taking …

    Fair point. I'm mostly just making a reference to the Lonely Island + Seth Meyers podcast. Every few episodes they joke about being in " an Golden Era" of SNL :). But they also do …

    Sorry, I guess I meant "sketch comedy". But a lot of it is written the week before/of the show. So what I meant to say was something like "it's all pretty off the cuff" vs a movie …

    Lorne is great and the heart of the show. I also think The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers were part of an Golden Era, for the record.

    This is improv comedy, it's hit or miss sometimes. Things you don't find funny other people might find hilarious :)

    This is to a personal email addresses. Yeah, I agree, I think they would at least have to give me a list of the 3rd parties? But I am in the US :(

    Tell HN: Ashby spams engineers by scraping their emails with no opt-out

    Hi HN, I thought I'd let you know that "Ashby HQ", some kind of new recruiting software, has a tool to look up emails via 3rd parties that they will not let engineers opt out of. A…

    Interesting...the name of this makes it sound like criminals will be using it to transfer cash around the world, like with gift cards? Genuinely I'm curious, is there really a big …

    What a cool thing! They're so brave to form a union and strike in the first place, nobody does that, I have mad respect for these workers. Then they go and build some cool sh*t whi…

    I don't get it. Why is Starlink paying for X's problems? Aren't the two separate corporate entities?
