HardwareLust··on Transgenderism Is in Rapid Decline Among Young Americans

Gender dysphoria isn't in decline, they've just gone back into hiding since society is regressing back to 1955 levels of racism and bigotry.

All you did was chase them into the closet, and they'll be back.

HardwareLust··on Time to start de-Appling

I de-Appled when Tim Cook took over. Apple died when Steve passed away and they put a fucking bean counter in charge, which is all Tim has ever been.

HardwareLust··on The Sega Master System

The translation was part of the charm.

HardwareLust··on He Chunhui's Tiny386 Turns an ESP32-S3 into a Fully-Functional 386-Powered PC

Pretty sure this project was for entertainment purposes only, not as a solution for an existing problem.

HardwareLust··on AI Minus Vagina

Apparently, choosing a gender for your protagonist/antagonist is "lazy".

Is the author suggesting our characters should all be genderless? Because that's equally as absurd.

They are still developing the technology:

HardwareLust··on Lego Icons Star Trek U.S..S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Love that they included Spot!

HardwareLust··on Largest cargo sailboat completes first Atlantic crossing

Work out, read, video games, watch movies, play cards or chess, etc. Plenty to do!

HardwareLust··on Largest cargo sailboat completes first Atlantic crossing

Cool link, thanks! Unfortunately they went bankrupt and the tech now belongs to what was their first and only customer, K Line.

HardwareLust··on Largest cargo sailboat completes first Atlantic crossing

Spent 13 years at sea, loved every minute. I actually liked it better before phones and Internet came onboard.

HardwareLust··on Common Supplement [Melatonin] Shows Concerning Link to Heart Failure

Well, now I'm kind of glad I'm allergic to melatonin.

HardwareLust··on Show HN: I built a Free "Masterclass" from YouTube clips

That's kinda what I had assumed, just wanted to make sure you weren't using AI or something like number of views

HardwareLust··on Show HN: I built a Free "Masterclass" from YouTube clips

Who curated the clips, and what was the criteria used for choosing them?

HardwareLust··on MrBeast Is Opening a Theme Park in Saudi Arabia This Month

Ah, so we've transitioned from sportswashing to theme park washing, with Mr. Beast being the useful idiot in this case.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Do professional photographers need hardware-level image authentication?

Can you do this in a modern DSLR? I just watched a video about a photographer shooting out in the wilderness with a new camera that shoots 40 fps. Can your support such high speeds and batch-processing the uploads once they return to civilization without undue burden on the photographer?

HardwareLust··on $40M 3D printing factory open for business on Guam, will produce parts for Navy

How are they "open for business" if they just broke ground today?

HardwareLust··on Tinder's AI can find better matches by scanning your camera roll

That's an interesting way to scam people into allowing them to mine your phone for training data.

HardwareLust··on 99.994% of your time between therapy sessions is unsupported

I do two sessions a week, one on Monday and one on Thursday. It helps, but I definitely wish I could afford more.

HardwareLust··on Logistic Growth of Chess

Actually he's my older brother lol. We haven't played in years.

HardwareLust··on Why does grocery list making even need a separate app?

Google Keep does it for me. The checkbox system just works.

I know it's perilous to depend on a Google product, and any day now I fully expect Google to kill it but I'm going to use it until that fateful day comes

HardwareLust··on Logistic Growth of Chess

I completely disagree that chess has somehow reached saturation and cannot experience significant further growth.

True, we might never see another period of explosive growth like we did from the twin boosters of Queen's Gambit and COVID, I think there's still plenty of room for growth. Out of all my friends, family and coworkers, I know exactly two people that actively play chess, and one of them is me.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Would you trust an AI that sees and hears everything you do?

It might, depending on how you intend to anonymize the data, and whether you intend to market that data to other companies.

HardwareLust··on Smartphone data could help clinicians identify and treat mental health disorders

Sounds great in theory, but this has terrible privacy implications, as well as handing a new vector for abuse to the insurance industry.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Do professional photographers need hardware-level image authentication?

Kinda surprised someone hasn't designed this already.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Would you trust an AI that sees and hears everything you do?

Because I don't want my life to be training data for some stupid LLM so that you can try to become to the next tech oligarch.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Would you trust an AI that sees and hears everything you do?

No.

HardwareLust··on The UK Is Doing the Hard Work of Protecting Children Online

Yup, and that's exactly why they're posting propaganda like this, so their ignorant and docile population will play along because they think it "protects the children".

HardwareLust··on Estimating the perceived 'claustrophobia' of New York City's streets (2024)

Interesting. One anecdote is that having spent a considerable amount of time walking in a number of major cities (Tokyo, Singapore, SF, LA, Seattle, etc.) I've never felt anything remotely like 'claustrophobia' on the streets of NYC.

HardwareLust··on Show HN: Tiled Words, a daily puzzle inspired by board games and crosswords

Good question. I like the complexity of the daily, and the practice puzzle is simple enough to be a good introduction to the game mechanics, so maybe an intermediate puzzle (possibly optional?) might be a good idea? Just don't want to bore people to death, I know some will want to get straight to the daily.

HardwareLust··on Show HN: Tiled Words, a daily puzzle inspired by board games and crosswords

Great job, really enjoyable!

One tiny nitpick; The absolute gulf between the practice puzzle and the first daily is a bit much imo.
