Two words; Ultra Pasteurized.

Going below the surface has been a big thing in London for a while now, it's real estate so limited and above ground so expensive. Many of the most posh neighborhood townhouses in London have deep multi-floor underground layers.

With an environment that seems to be continually warming and becoming more hostile, going underground will probably become a natural defense that humans will take as we retreat from the harsh heat, wildfires, etc.

Legendary. Larry lead a full life. He mentored many hundreds over the years and his legacy will live on in those who he taught and inspired.

Do a teardown video plz.

Agreed. The whole premise of this article is absurd. An apples to oranges a comparison. The Pi is a platform for embedded systems development and design. And is excellent for what it is designed for. It's not a desktop workstation.

Love this take.

Lesters gonna Lester.

Ditched T-Mobile last month, disgruntled AF over the rate hikes. Helium gives me the same exact service experience at 1/4 the monthly cost.

Brave.

As somebody who recently used Claude Opus to help quickly and affordably solve complex problems in 3D design work (OpenSCAD) while designing a marketable product, I have my doubts about your analogy. Prior to the availability of affordable and accessible AI, I could have taken some Bitcoin and paid somebody smarter than me to help me with this work, but I guarantee it would have been less economically viable, both in terms of financial cost to me and in terms of energy consumption costs.

My recommendation to you would be to use a different platform that is designed for this exact purpose. Buy me a coffee comes to mind right off the top of my head but I know that there are sure to be others. Stripe is good for straight up e-commerce but it does not work well for your use case. I think the characterization of likening stripe to PayPal is way off base. When it comes down to using a platform like stripe for monetization of services and goods it really is important to rtfm. Good luck to you out there!

The damage from the last coronal mass ejection to the starlink satellites in LEO were permanent. From what I understand it was due to the units loss of navigation and orbital corrections and they burned up in the atmosphere.

Taking over Open Source, just for the LULz.

There is an extreme lack of sense of humor around these parts.

I lol'd, and thank you for that.

This isn't directly useful to me, but it thrills me nonetheless. It is so great to see people digging in like this, learning and sharing what they learn, and that inspires me! Great work!!!

Came out of the cave expecting a critical jest and call to action "Delete systemd" the sprawling Linux overseer that flouts the Unix philosophy, with a host of arguments supporting why it's ripe for replacement in the name of simplicity.

Was sorely disappointed.

Been a NixOS daily driver on Apple Silicon since I was laid off in similar unceremonious fashion. The Mac was my pitiful severance. Pitiful until NixOS. Now I would not live without it.

Ummm, no. The species of bighorn sheep native to the Rocky Mountains is scientifically referred to as Ovis canadensis canadensis. This is one of several subspecies of bighorn sheep, distinguished by its habitat, physical characteristics, and behavior, adapted to the rugged terrain and climate of the Rocky Mountains stretching from Canada to the southwestern United States.

Great, now they help pay for this mess!

We already have an open source alternative to Adobe After Effects—it's called Blender.

Rick Rubin is looking good for his age. I postulate that he has very low stress levels and added that he surfs, he's got something good going for combatting age.

This.

Not quite, they're actually a NEGATIVE value currency.

U.S. currency production is funded by the federal budget, supported by taxpayer dollars, and offset by seigniorage revenue.

The cost of producing the U.S. penny, exceeds its face value.

The GOVT. explain that this loss is recovered through the concept of seigniorage.

Seigniorage is the difference between the face value of money and the cost to produce it.

For the U.S. Mint, which produces the penny, the overall profit comes from the entire spectrum of coin production, not just the penny. Since our penny results in a loss, other denominations like dimes, and quarters, are produced at a cost lower than their face value, generating profit. So this profit helps offset the losses from penny production. So the overall seigniorage generated from the other denominations theoretically covers the cost of producing a negative value coin.

My immediate thoughts as well, but I wonder about how exactly this could be implemented in current game build chains such as unreal or unity?

I came here to find comments and I had hoped answers as to just how exactly a man walks into a DMV in Texas and gets arrested for a crime that occurred in California?

Why is nobody asking this question??

It seems like that should be a substantial part of the story.

A short while back I joined the ranks of the unemployed. With my newfound free time I began looking for day projects to keep me busy and stress less while looking for my next job opportunity. This is one of my recent afternoon projects that I felt like showing off. It's also my first ever hacker news post!

While I am aware that Cartomancy might not really fit in around here, this project involved mixing some emergent LLM/AI technology (GPT3.5) that interested me greatly, with a minimalistic Next.js frontend and a simple Flask backend. Nothing too fancy.

I figured it might be fun for a few laughs or a quick break from your day-job.

Hate it? Love it? See room for improvements?

Let me know what you think!
