rabbits_2002··on Changes we're making to Google Assistant
Google is a horrible company
rabbits_2002··on More Than Half of the World Will Be Obese by 2035, Report Says
Conversely, Colorado has the lowest obesity rates in the US and has horrible public transportation, and the same food and drink as the rest if the US.

Instead they have plentiful access to outdoor activities and beautiful nature. I think public transportation would help a lot in urban areas, really anything to keep people walking around and active instead of sitting and consuming.

rabbits_2002··on Apple pays out over claims it deliberately slowed down iPhones
Yet my iPhone is 7 years old, I use it for hours a day, and works as well as the day I bought it. I feel like this whole ordeal is misrepresented or just exaggerated.
rabbits_2002··on Elusive 'alligator'-like creature found in treetops of Mexico is a new species
Very cool but the title seems like clickbait. Arboreal alligator lizards were documented like 200 years ago, this is just a new species in a known genus. If its a lizard just say its a lizard. The title makes it seem like its some kind of new giant tree-dwelling reptile. These lizards are less than a foot long.

Also

>Alligator lizards are a group of lizards only found in Central America where they live in “humid highland forests,”

This is incorrect, we have alligator lizards in the US. Arboreal alligator lizards are one of three genus of alligator lizard. I wish they’d use Abronia instead of saying alligator lizard or else they are gonna confuse texans and californians who have alligator lizards in their backyards.

rabbits_2002··on The Unhinged Nature of GTA V Source Code [video]
whenever i work on a private repo the first thing i do is search the code for curse words to find stuff like this lol
rabbits_2002··on Operation Snow White
yep those are the ones
rabbits_2002··on Show HN: Languessr – a game where you guess the language of a Wikipedia article
can you actually distinguish farsi and arabic without speaking one of the languages?
rabbits_2002··on Operation Snow White
they succeeded, virtually all property in downtown is owned by them
rabbits_2002··on Operation Snow White
Theres an apartment complex I pass by sometimes that has huge buses with “FLAG” written on them going back and forth from “Flag Building” in Clearwater constantly. The buses are operating at like 3am sometimes. I wonder what they are doing.
rabbits_2002··on Joe Biden Plans to Ban Logging in US Old-Growth Forests in 2025
good
rabbits_2002··on A recent software update was not successful. Your vehicle cannot be driven
Do car companies outsource their software to fiverr or something? Every single car I rent lately is a buggy piece of shit.
rabbits_2002··on How many legs do ten elephants have, if two of them are legless?
3.5 used to fail every time, glad its working now
rabbits_2002··on How many legs do ten elephants have, if two of them are legless?
My favorite is “what weighs more, 1 lb of feathers or 2 lb of bricks?” almost every llm ive tried says “they weigh the same”
rabbits_2002··on Granting pardon for the offense of simple possession of or use of marijuana
this is all just for show until they legalize it. Biden has been on record saying he wont, and there are very, very few federal convictions. I don’t know why the government is so hell-bent on arresting teenagers and giving free money to cartels.
rabbits_2002··on How to survive in a Chinese company
sounds like hell
rabbits_2002··on Russia has a new EV prototype and yes, it really looks like this
It is safe to assume all news about China, Russia and North Korea is false or exaggerated
rabbits_2002··on Mercedes gets approval for turquoise automated driving lights
“blanchedalmond” thats a new one for me lol
rabbits_2002··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
I always have a text editor open for notes and snippets like this. This sounds like a perfect replacement. Tabs would be a very nice addition.
rabbits_2002··on Deep cloning objects in JavaScript
I agree that its weirdly difficult but if you are trying to deep clone an object, you are probably doing something wring
rabbits_2002··on The Pontiac Aztek Was Not a Design Tragedy, It Was a Corporate Tragedy
I do not understand what constitutes an appealing visual design for a car. The Aztek looks great to me. I like it better than almost any other crossover SUV in terms of appearance. How do you determine what is “good” or “bad” when modern cars are such an abstract shape?
rabbits_2002··on Tree plantations are not the environmental solution they’re purported to be
and most of the world was also a frozen wasteland what is your point
rabbits_2002··on Ask HN: Why aren't there many AAA Mobile game titles?
I would say it’s probably a combination of two things:

Touchscreen controls are bad, and there not much that can be done about it. A flat screen just isn’t very good for action games.

If you are trying to make a profit it makes a lot more sense to just make a skinner box to sell microtransactions. This is starting to become the case with a lot of console and PC games too. A lot of FPS games don’t even come with a single player campaign anymore. Making a complete game and selling it as a complete product isn’t nearly as profitable as selling microtransaction.

rabbits_2002··on A female albatross over 70 years old
Albatross are really amazing birds. Most people think they’re just some kind of gull and don’t realize how big they are. They aren’t actually closely related to gulls at all. They are like 2x bigger than large gulls and like 4x bigger than smaller ones. In terms of weight, they can weigh over 40 times as much as some smaller gulls. With their wings stretched out they’re like the length of a car.

If you can ever take a whale watching or bird watching boat trip, do it. Theres a lot of really cool sea birds that only live far out at sea.

rabbits_2002··on Showing up and doing your job without error and with a good attitude is a "C"
If someone told me this I would quit
rabbits_2002··on The music player you wish you had in the early 2000s
one day of charge seems kind of paltry for a purpose-built device
rabbits_2002··on Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?
Except when it decides to not work when you are on a trail 200 miles from the closest town lol. I hate Google.
rabbits_2002··on Microsoft defends Edge's predatory practices with cringe, audacious reply on X
Microsoft might as well say “eat shit peasant <3”
rabbits_2002··on r/borrow
there are legal requirements for being a money lender
rabbits_2002··on Tesla Recalls 2M Cars to Fix Autopilot Safety Flaws
unrelated, but does anyone else start to panic in autonomous vehicles? Every time I have been in a Tesla with autopilot on I immediately feel dread and and impending doom and I get very anxious.
rabbits_2002··on US agency takes first step to mandate anti-drunk driving technology
You can’t drive to the hospital, your eyes are moving too erratically. You must be drunk.
