Encouraging others with positivity to be kind is rarely a bad thing. Dismissing others that try to spread positivity is rarely a good thing.

This feels like the opposite of rickrolling, though. Instead of naively trusting the link, only to click it and get rickrolled, you’re naively distrusting the link, so you’ll never know the link was f…

Why do people still answer phone calls from unrecognized numbers? Just don’t. If it’s actually someone that needs to reach you, they can leave a VM. But 99.99% of the time, phone calls from unrecogniz…

I’ve got a 27” CRT right next to my 65” LG OLED C9 (which is starting to feel ancient, too). It sits in a cabinet that currently holds an NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and PS2. It doesn’t get a ton of pla…

Yeah, a lot of words/letters made sense, but I definitely had to use some deduction to read it. Interesting, and given the limitation, it’s quite impressive. But I think “probably” is optimistic.…

Actually, that’s exactly what this site is. Creator is just harvesting all these ideas to find — or sell! — the best startup ideas.

Fair points. I guess some level of uneasiness can be a good thing for some folks. But I also recognize it can possibly trigger anxiety (overwhelming, in some cases) for some folks, even if you don…

Should these even be shared? I mean, people are watching (I haven't) and wishing they hadn't.

> I'm just saying there are also people who are the opposite, and their way of doing it is also valid and works great for them. Agreed, but if we’re here discussing ways to reduce distractio…

I’m a little confused by these comments about not checking stuff unless you get a notification. Do you get notified of every article on HN that you read? Or what about YouTube or other content that yo…

I still wish a better name had been coined/had stuck. It’s hard to take the name “vibe coding” seriously, and maybe that was the whole point, but I feel like AI coding is a bit more serious than …

Wouldn't we see dementia occurrence higher among cooks, then? Or do we?

Wouldn't that suggest that, at least to some degree, dementia would be elevated in humid vs. dry climates?

Tangential comment, but it’s crazy to think about how, when we look up at the stars in the sky, we’re seeing light in wildly varying degrees of age. For example, when we look at the sun, that’s 8-mi…

> Sorry to hear that commenting (including on HN) didn't make this person any friends. Has HN really helped people connect in this sort of way? To me, HN has almost always felt anonymous, in…

If the only value to universities is to have someone give a lecture with zero interaction, then yes, have university education happen over recordings. But most university professors (hopefully) engage…

I'm slowly figuring out that these types of non-interactive, live presentations are unnecessary. If I'm going to listen a someone speak without me being able to respond/interact/ha…

> In the early 2000s, sitting for a driver’s license was seen as a near-universal rite of passage. By 2020, Generation Z teens were significantly less likely to get their licenses and later, when …

Depending on where you live, a lot of times you don’t many to choose from. Maybe 2-3, but sometimes only one with fast enough speeds that it becomes the only option.

The original study published in Science [1] has a better title: Light pollution prolongs avian activity > They found that birds were generally vocal for nearly an hour longer in the presence of …

Not defending tariffs. I think, in this particular case, they’re mostly harmful. But I’m actually not educated enough on the subject to really have strong opinions one way or another. My argument was …

One example: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3462759/article/45682877#45... > we will work with Splotter to bring these in direct and if it costs us more money tha…

Yeah, it’s definitely subtle, for the most part. But if you pause it and move it around frames, you can definitely see where post processing attempted to sharpen some of the out-of-focus parts. But, a…

Two root comments (so far) are focusing on YouTube, but the article claims most of the AI was done by Will’s team, using AI to convert stills to video: > The video features real performances and r…

> The supplier absorbing the tariff isn't sustainable, they will always ultimately pass the cost on to the consumer one way or another. I’m not arguing that it is. But passing the price on t…

You’re applying a literal definition, but in practice, it can be different. For (a simplified) example, if there’s a 30% tariff on a $100 item, all else equal, the price is now $130, and the custome…

I’ve already received 95% of the value from the game library I have on Steam. Worst case, if I lose access to all of them, whether by choice or by force (they go under), there are other options of obt…
