dvsfish··on Cut the cutesy errors
While still bad in that way, its probably better than 10. It has a heap of its own issues, but my personal experience hasn't been quite as grating as far as the language is concerned. It's a healthy reasonably unoffensive middle ground of informative/understandable and casual. W11 has bigger issues than language.
dvsfish··on Archaeological analysis suggests warfare helped societies become more complex
Care to elaborate some about how alcohol and tobacco produced male dominated society?
dvsfish··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
Impossible without huge leaps in AI, data collection and privacy violation, but a game where you can relive recorded moments of your life, but change the decisions and experience how that plays out.
dvsfish··on The Kia Instrument
I think the point might be that you load it into something that is touch screen. This is quite weird of an announcement in general though, so I won't totally rule out that they're gonna make something real in this realm.
dvsfish··on Does quantum mechanics need imaginary numbers?
Wow, genius. This would have personally helped immensely
dvsfish··on Could cancer cells’ iron addiction be their Achilles heel?
You're throwing a lot of big claims around in this thread.

Could you provide:

1. What you eat in a day to hit those macros.

2. something to support your claims.

dvsfish··on Fire extinguished at Ukraine nuclear power plant, Europe's largest
Russia may or may not care for it's own wealth in the shale prospects, but it can't allow for Ukraine to have them. They've shown interest in being a western aligned democracy, and having such resource exports would make Ukraine much more wealthy. A wealthy, friendly Ukraine as an energy provider is much more attractive to Europe than Russia. They would have a much easier time being admitted to the EU and NATO, and it would be a severe blow to Russian pride and potentially economy, and the strategic position provided by being an energy exporter.
dvsfish··on Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
This kind of reaction is exactly why more businesses need to take this approach. It's painfully inconvenient for a Russian who has an interest in being able to use the service, and the more this occurs, the less anyone is happy to just sit by.
dvsfish··on DYMO's new label printer uses RFID tags to prevent the use of non-OEM paper
Hey! Penny for your thoughts too then! Why are you reluctantly adding so many to your list?
dvsfish··on New material that can absorb and release enormous amounts of energy
elaborate?
dvsfish··on Career advice nobody gave me: Never ignore a recruiter
I'm with you mate. Surprised how many jimmies were rustled by this.
dvsfish··on Evolution of the elephant depiction throughout the middle ages
gartic phone!
dvsfish··on Meta Unveils New AI Supercomputer
I'd rather these absurd empire businesses to at least do something interesting with their empires instead of just make it a bit easier to consolidate money. Zuck is uninspiring and hard to like, but at least this move is somewhat visionary.
dvsfish··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
Is this a niche waiting to be exploited?
dvsfish··on Microsoft’s Halo Infinite Went from Disaster to Triumph
Funny, mine and my friends experience is the exact opposite. For Halo, the movement feels better than ever, like what you'd expect a truly "20s" Halo should feel like. The game just felt a bit fun. I'm not in any way a halo snob either, tried it cause it was free and found my expectations were exceeded.
dvsfish··on Groups never admit failure
Care to elaborate?
dvsfish··on Heavily mutated coronavirus variant puts scientists on alert
Ah yes, but that would be " 'Flu' " would it not?
dvsfish··on NASA returns Hubble to full science operations
I ask what has inspired you in the past?
dvsfish··on Show HN: Get the guitar chords from your Spotify playlists
Hah! I made a similar thing where I have a button in my extension bar on chrome that I click to perform a google search of [song I'm listening to on spotify] + " chords". Waiting for firefox manifest v3 update to add final touches.
dvsfish··on Heavily mutated coronavirus variant puts scientists on alert
why the apostrophes?
dvsfish··on Space debris forces astronauts on space station to take shelter in return ships
MA370 doesn't really have anything to do with the russians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 this however does.
dvsfish··on When Radiohead sampled Paul Lansky (2000)
Damn, if you're familiar with the Radiohead track, this is so satisfying.
dvsfish··on First confirmed hatchings of two California condor chicks from unfertilized eggs
Wow! Do you know what the lizard species is called? I would love to read more on that.
dvsfish··on What to Learn
Author should learn some modern css (I say this in jest)
dvsfish··on Is going to the office a broken way of working?
You can't both be pedantic and then attack the other person for being pedantic and expect to get anywhere. Also "Just under half" is not a majority, which is actually an important distinction considering the angle your argument takes (that is - downplaying the impact on other demographics).
dvsfish··on Spotify Box
I'm no fan of bluetooth for music, but wouldn't an internet connected speaker also drain battery? And are you really wanting to simultaneously take a call and listen to music? Will the person on the other end appreciate that? Seems like an inconsequential limitation to me.

Fully agree with your other points. And they're enough on their own.

dvsfish··on Physicist discovered an escape from Hawking’s black hole paradox
This is hardly a bad thing. Not all content should necessarily be easy to digest.
dvsfish··on Music for Programming
Interesting trivia: Ravi Shankar is Nora Jones' father.
dvsfish··on Ketogenic diets inhibit mitochondrial genesis, induce cardiac fibrosis in rats
While I agree they should be more clear that the main focus of the study is about rats, reading the study suggests they did link it to human patients with atrial fibrosis. AF patients had higher β-OHB concentrations than healthy people, which is one of the by products of a ketogenic diet. Not a direct link to KD, but certain a point of interest. I think this study is a decent case for follow up studies at the very least.
dvsfish··on Israeli startup claims Covid-19 likely originated in a lab, willing to bet on it
What about other potential viruses though? We don't have vaccines for those.
