Did NASA say when they're coming back? The article didn't mention it.

HardwareLust··on That viral Reddit post about food delivery apps was an AI scam
Judging from the backlash on this, someone really wants you to know this was an "AI scam".

Guilty! I have bought a handful of vinyls (limited edition, colored vinyl, etc.) in anticipation of saving up to buy a good quality turntable.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What would you do if you didn't work in tech?
For many reasons, some of them I'm sure fall into the "grass is greener" category, but tech just hasn't been very satisfying. Sure, it pays the bills and parts of it I do find interesting, but it just pales compared to how satisfying it feels to cook and serve people good food.
