But did they fix the dreaded Joy-Con drift?

> But still it would be interesting to see some specs. Is the GPU 15% better, 50%, what? This is obviously more of a teaser than an actual full trailer. They announced a Nintendo Direct on Feb 2,…

Yeah, I'll still just say "large, possibly unreasonable request". :) (And I've never inferred that distinction anyway -- in all the cases I've heard it, I could've replac…

Oh wow, that's a new one. Have you really heard that in conversation? I'm so sorry.

I think I could be alone, but one of my biggest office-speak pet peeves is using verbs as nouns. Like “ask” (I hear this one all the time), “(value) add”, and “solve” (used in this article - I cringed…

This sounds made up. I’m not saying it is, just that it’s so bizarre, it’s literally unbelievable. Like something The Onion would write.

Sure, events/posts like that are the main upside to social media. Unfortunately, that makes up a tiny fraction of most feeds.

> I know a lack of social media meant that I have lost touch with old acquaintances completely I think that’s a feature, not a bug. Most of the life updates people post on social media are the be…

I’m rooting for EV’s over ICE cars all the way (I own one), but I agree — I always found it a bit weird/misleading that the Mach-E carries the “Mustang” name, when they have so little in common. …

Yeah, fair point, I’m completely just talking US market here. I’m assuming this would go for the same price ($18k) in the US, where that would be a very good price for an EV. I would love to see an EV…

I bought my first new car in 1999 only two years out of college for about $20k. In 1999. $18k today for an electric car is far from “not cheap at all”.

> I still desperately want to know the current (scientific) state of wearing a mask. 100% agreed. We wore masks pretty religiously (definitely when it was mandated, often when it wasn’t for a whi…

> The fact that only 1000 people died from it in 2024 in the US is proof enough that this specific pandemic is over. I’m not sure if you got that number from the article, but if you did, that’s …

Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second It seems like there's not much agreement on what to do about -- or whether to even use -- leap seconds. Sounds like a fair…

I feel like people have a need to “fill the void” with productivity. It’s like they can’t be alone with their thoughts anymore. I feel like this is becoming a more serious problem than people realize.…

Very cool! It’s really easy to make something that looks like I knew what I was doing, when I don’t at all! :) One missed opportunity that I see with sites that allow HN people to play with things and…

Such a well done video, thanks for sharing. I even happily watched a very well executed sponsor ad.

See my response to your sibling post. The parent post is throwing AI at the problem. The solution isn't to improve technology to make it better at parenting/babysitting our children. The sol…

If you have a nanny/preschool/daycare that is letting your child be raised by TV, the solution isn’t instead have your child be raised by AI. The solution is to replace the nanny/rescho…

Please no. While what you describe may be better than YouTube/TV, there is no replacement for development through human interaction and contact. Let’s not give parents another excuse to have de…

TIL, thanks!

Neat project! But I’ve realized, after doing a number of puzzles with my wife over the past several years, that most real life pictures don’t make great puzzles. I mean, if you like the challenge of j…

100% agreed, which was my point above about studies being done to prove the negative impacts, so everyone could actually get on board, instead of it being done ad hoc. It took public shaming to start …

I feel like sleep quality and phone addiction are very different, even if somewhat connected. I would agree, though, that improving sleep quality would definitely improve cognitive function. But remov…

I’m not sure if you have kids, but I’m not sure making the choice to ostracize your kids is one they’d thank you for later. And, certainly not all kids would. It very much depends on the kid / th…

I’m not a scientist in this field, but I would have been very surprised to have seen a difference in cognitive ability this quickly. I’ve always felt that we wouldn’t recover from the negative impacts…

> A century ago is probably pretty close to the worst possible time Which may have attributed/motivated the later advancements that were made.

> it seems painful to know that family suffers the loss of the same person essentially twice Speaking from second-hand experience -- that is, seeing my father experience the loss of his aunts/…
