Far as AI gen images they still make me nauseous due to uncanny-valley stuff. Still see a lot of non-standard number of fingers; so much content elicits a weird double-take and gut dropping feel.

Are there energy consumption differences between CGI and AI?

Reminds some of something a friend said towards the end of college: “it’s only like 12 thousand dollars a year to learn everything there is to know”

Take it with a grain of salt..

I get the punchline here but is there possibly some sort of Streisand effect where real people now are more inclined to use an em dash?

Per the address and contact number at bottom did the (415) area code formerly encompass Palo Alto?

I've been using Waterfox the past month or two and it's great.

What does “ex-china” mean, excluding China?

Edit: did a quick find-in-page on mobile for “china” and it appears 0 times. Though notably China is missing from the geographic charts

It’s almost like HN is a great platform for the POSSE model!

Awesome share thanks for the link. Will send to a family member who is looking to gain viewership with their writing - they usually post on medium I think.

I don’t wholly disagree but consider it more a datapoint than an outlier that should be omitted.

“Human food was never the focus”

I eagerly purchase insect/grub kibble for my dog - both fly and cricket based. Also a lot of vegetarian kibble, I am a vegetarian myself.

Maybe it’s similar to onlyfans where people get to chat with or receive messages from a model. People also create accounts to upload content.

New comment by dieselgate in "Have I been Flocked? – Check if your license plate is being watched"

dieselgate — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 18:40:12 +0000

Cool website, gave it a go. I am not a general advocate of license plate tracking but believe it’s a double edge sword. A former vehicle was stolen and recovered twice - likely due to tracking technology.

Stopped reading after the first phrase “Cryptocurrencies have become an integral part of modern finance”.

The book “Quiet” talks a lot about this and the “extraversión ideal” in global western cultures. Great read for those curious about this research

Seeing a lot of code. I work with Ruby/rails a lot and try to expose myself to core rails code much as possible, or react, or whatever other core code. But at jobs it’s viewing code from as many people as possible too.
