d1str0··on Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to?
The Adventure Zone is my all time favorite podcast. 3 brothers and their dad playing DnD but they don’t take the rules as seriously as many other actual-play podcasts.

The Critshow is another great one.

d1str0··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
If you have “emergency” in the title of an article, maybe don’t put it behind a paywall.
d1str0··on Off-duty pilot allegedly tried to shut off engines on Alaska Airlines flight
Too soon to know. Could be another undiagnosed mental issue.
d1str0··on The 34-year-old airline novice who thinks he's Richard Branson
This is why I only book Alaska when flying out of PDX. I know the quality of service I will get and I don’t even bother looking for cheaper flights.
d1str0··on The 34-year-old airline novice who thinks he's Richard Branson
And London to LA or NY are definitely routes with that demographic.
d1str0··on How Bad Is Your Resume? – Get Your Resume Roasted by AI
Darn. Mine’s more than one page. :/
d1str0··on Directional dominance on stature and cognition in human populations (2015)
I read this as “the greater the age gap” at first.
d1str0··on U2 at Sphere is the nightmare future of music
My first thought was Infected Mushroom
d1str0··on Lichess: Block Ads and Trackers
I use 1Blocker and love it.
d1str0··on Hackers claim it only took a 10-minute phone call to shut down MGM Resorts
9/11 might have changed it in some places but not most.
d1str0··on Snoop unto them as they snoop unto you
I saw this talk live but was disappointed the app is $10 to give it a shot. Seems a little steep.
d1str0··on Oscilloscope watch ships after 10 years on Kickstarter
Not quite 10 years, but my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard took quite a bit longer than first estimates.

Super happy with how it ended up turning out and the runners of the project kept us updated Monthly without fail with actual, candid updates.

I still love my UHKs and use them every day.

d1str0··on Some flying robot behavior improvements
I know many other people who survived cancer who decided that life was too short to take it too seriously and now they are more care free, play more video games, smoke more pot, etc.

I’m glad you had a personal revelation that works for you (maybe), but being a cancer survivor doesn’t make you a better arbiter of other people’s time and energy.

d1str0··on Shorts risks cannibalising core YouTube business, say senior staff
Consent was you typing in “youtube.com” to go to a privately owned website.
d1str0··on Shorts risks cannibalising core YouTube business, say senior staff
I see this anecdote all the time as if it it really applies to the modern internet. I don’t think it really holds any bearing at all.

The early days of the internet didn’t facilitate trillions in economic value like it is now.

We can use that anecdote as inspiration but it really has no merit on the modern internet.

d1str0··on Sorry, Your Paper Coffee Cup Is a Toxic Nightmare
This article begins by describing the experiment and “results” being that “something is leeching out from the paper cups too” but then the scientists say, “but we don’t know what since we didn’t analyze the water, which we could do.

Kind of disappointing that the only “results” were that the midge larvae, in this trial setup, behaved the same as they did when exposed to just pure plastic cups leeching into their water.

d1str0··on Some flying robot behavior improvements
Wow. I was enjoying this thread but you really killed the vibe by thinking you’re a better determiner of people’s free time, not to mention you somehow think you know a stranger on the internet better than themselves?

Please tell me this is a copypasta and was just sarcasm.

d1str0··on Some flying robot behavior improvements
Or… i could try and play through Space Ex since it was mentioned in FFF and I’ve never tried it before.
d1str0··on Overthewire.org
I used to be a dev for them. HTS is how i got started with computer science.
d1str0··on Ask HN: Why did Microsoft, Meta, and PayPal update their ToS today?
No one said it had to be a business. They were making the point that its hard to keep something like that running and maintained for free.
d1str0··on $70 device can spoof an Apple device sending BLE Advertising Packets
The passcode is not, but its prompting you to share a password with your “Apple TV” so that password will be shared.
d1str0··on Legions of DEF CON hackers will attack generative AI models
Definitely still worth it if you’ve never been before.

People who have gone 5+ years will bitch and whine and tell you how much it’s changed but also they’ve seen everything at the con before. Your 20th trip to Disneyland isn’t going to be as magical as the first.

d1str0··on Iterators in Go: A proposed extension
Thats how I would do it. You can have a goroutine send on a channel (buffered or non buffered), and then another function can consume the chan as needed which lets the goroutine generate results as needed as well.
d1str0··on LK-99: Team of Southeast University observed zero resistance below 110 K
Assuming they discovered a low cost, room temperature, room pressure, superconductor, there are many HUGE technological advancements that can be made that would impact your daily life.

Possibilities include improved battery longevity in all devices(probably in an order of magnitude), low friction transport improvements (ie. cheaper high speed rail), and faster and higher bandwidth wired connections.

d1str0··on Universal Paperclips
The mobile app works much better than the website used to on mobile.
d1str0··on Universal Paperclips
If you use the mobile app it will work just find. Highly recommend.
d1str0··on Universal Paperclips
Do you honestly believe that the only people who have thought about the ramifications of AI are Sci Fi authors? I can guarantee people who spend years researching and building advanced language models have thought about the ramifications of their work.

This isn’t Jurassic Park.

d1str0··on Google Play adds NFTs
If nobody wanted this they wouldn’t have done it.

There are lots of cool uses for NFTs in game settings.

Now that some of the major hype and scams have died down, this is probably the best time for this to go live.

d1str0··on The Last Place on Earth Any Tourist Should Go
All these examples of “living” involve being in a single location while being completely sedentary, something I would say most people would get very tired of quickly.
d1str0··on PHP packages for Ubuntu EOL releases put under paywall
Bad title
