HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a Rotten Tomatoes for consumer electronics?
Probably just get astroturfed to death, don't you think?

There are so many bogus "review" sites. How are you going to maintain integrity?

HardwareLust··on Cross My Heart – A Frogger Demake in 256 Bytes of HTML/JS
Pretty good for 256 Bytes!
HardwareLust··on New Bill Would Require Phonics-Based Reading Instruction in California
I went to public school in California 50 years ago, it was 100% phonics.

The thing was, by the time I started school in the early 70's, I already knew how to read because my parents taught me at home - with phonics.

I still say the biggest effect on my attaining early literacy was growing up in a house full of books and people that loved to read.

HardwareLust··on Bluesky is ditching its waitlist and is now open to everyone
And here I am thinking I was special when I got an invite the day before yesterday lol.

Ah well, still happy to finally get in.

Nm, it was something local. Works fine now, my bad.

How about some options other than Telegram?

It would be nice if I could scroll the countries list.

Thank you, this is really useful!
HardwareLust··on Tesla could demand $50K if you resell Cybertruck sans permission in year one
Well, that's one problem I will never have to worry about.
HardwareLust··on Show HN: Movie Guess – A AI movie title guessing game
Every single question gets the response "your message was so confusing i had a stroke, please ask again in a different way".
HardwareLust··on Goodreads has no incentive to be good
Amazon is slowly choking the life out of it, right on cue.

I used to interact with it quite a bit, now I rarely use it anymore. After this year's reading challenge is over, I'll probably just stop using it all together.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What 60 folks can give career and general life advice for 40 folks
>You slowly become allergic to many foods.

You got a source on that?

HardwareLust··on About three-in-ten U.S. adults say they are ‘almost constantly’ online (2021)
Pew didn't define anything though. This is just the results of a survey where 31% picked the answer "Almost constantly".
HardwareLust··on Trees Across the U.S. Are Sprouting Leaves Earlier Than Usual This Year
I'm right outside Philly, and this is definitely the mildest winter I can ever remember. It's only snowed enough once that we had to even get the plows and shovels out, and that melted right off like the next day. Other than a few snow flurries here and there, it's been exceptionally mild.
HardwareLust··on Three Million U.S. Households Making over $150k Are Still Renting
I am, but for good reasons. The company I work for could be bought or collapse at any moment, and I do not want to be tied to this particular region if that happens. I want to be able to ghost this place with a minimum of fuss when that severance check hits so I can head back west where I belong.
HardwareLust··on They say that stocks go down during the day and up at night
This is interesting, but how can I take this knowledge and practically apply it to the market to make a profit?
HardwareLust··on You can no longer sign in to old.reddit.com
I am literally on reddit right this very second in another tab, and old.reddit.com is working just fine? I even logged out and back in, and it's working like it always has.
HardwareLust··on Chat GPT is the birth of the real Web 3.0, and it's not going to be fun
I think it will be fun! We're seeing a paradigm shift right before our very eyes. Just think, you can tell your grandkids that you lived through the AI revolution.

I'm excited to see what happens next, because nobody knows and certainly whoever wrote this article has no clue, either.

HardwareLust··on Would you use 'Hacker News for books'?
I like the idea, but what's going to stop it from devolving into the lowest common denominator like r/books did years ago?
HardwareLust··on Show HN: RSS Brain
It looks cool. Unfortunately, your timing sucks because I just tossed money at Inoreader for a year of their service. Hopefully I'll remember you exist next December!
HardwareLust··on A day in the life of almost every vending machine
That's an interesting take! The similarities never occurred to me before, but you're right. Your phone even physically resembles the typical vending machine (the vertically oriented rectangle).
HardwareLust··on Panasonic Let's Note SV2: 12.1“ ultraportable with removable battery and ODD
Thanks man!
HardwareLust··on Panasonic Let's Note SV2: 12.1“ ultraportable with removable battery and ODD
That looks sweet. I wonder if anyone is importing those, or if Panasonic has any plans for a U.S. version.
HardwareLust··on OpenAI just dropped a prototype of 3D DALLE (called “Point-E”)
Do what? Talk about the fact that so many people are running around like Chicken Little thinking the sky is falling? The wild overreactions to these AI stories are absolutely absurd.
HardwareLust··on Elon Musk ‘actively looking’ for Twitter CEO to replace him: report
Pretty sure Jack Dorsey is available.
HardwareLust··on FTC brings a $520M hammer down on Epic Games for Fortnite complaints
Considering they're on target to make $6.2 Billion in 2022 alone, this is couch cushion money basically. So much for the "hammer".
HardwareLust··on Barnes & Noble store expansion leads big-box real-estate revival in 2023
I figured this was going to happen at some point. People are tired of only shopping online, and it's nice to go to an actual bookstore and look at physical books. We went too far the other way, and now things are swinging back toward the middle.
HardwareLust··on Accounts already using ChatGPT to automatically reply to people's tweets
Are you implying this is a good thing or a bad thing?
HardwareLust··on 1/4 of companies that IPO'd in 2020-2021 trades below $2, risking delisting
This sounds bad, but how does it compare to other 2-year periods, like 2018-2019, or the two years before the last internet bubble? Need some context.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Why is news about fusion ignition not a bigger deal in popular media?
Because your average news consumer isn't intelligent or educated enough to appreciate it, and the media understands that all too well. They know who to pander to, and it's not us.
