The problem with all big companies nowadays... Getting to a real (competent) support person that can help is almost impossible :-(

Thanks for posting this and yes you’re right, it’s a more detailed and well written post, giving a better explanation of the AI situation. We “old timers” love TheRegister but it has a certain style and way of writing, especially the original UK version (where BOFH gained fame).

I was today years old when I learned that the frequency of a flicker candle flame is ~9.9Hz :-)

Interesting... I could easily see this becoming a Guy Ritchie film (British crime comedy) :-)

Inspired by the recent post about sprites: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44908528

Looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie, where earth is being attacked ;-)

For sure this research can be nominated for an Ig Nobel Prize :-)

On a more serious note, thanks for posting this and letting me (us?) know about "The Pudding".

That’s very good news, but we’ll have to wait a little bit: >>> “keratin-based enamel regeneration could be made available to the public within the next two to three years.”

Hey what happened to my submission title? I swear it started with “10 PRINT”. Perhaps a mod/admin changed it, but I don’t have an option to edit it now.

Now all we need is a wrapper/UI/manager/aggregator for all these "free" AI tools/pages so that we can use them without going into the hassle of changing tabs ;-)

And like most things nowadays, it would get filled with highly illegal content within hours of you putting it there. The good old (innocent) days are gone and the society we’re living is not mature/educated enough for such ideas.

I had a very similar idea but never materialized it, a big bravo to you for actually building something and not staying at the idea level.

I assume you want to make some money out of it? Like the guy that made 1mil for selling pixels. Hope it works for you ;-)

A few questions that might help you… Are you going to be moderating/censoring text and images? What about companies using your chat to advertise? What do you mean by a permanent time capsule? How many years are the messages going to be preserved? Do you have a character limit on the message? Could see a hard limit.

I’ll second this idea. Keeping track of your hours on high altitude is important sine you get more radiation than us on the ground. I’ve read various articles about pilots & flight attendants health affected by higher exposure to radiation.

"Astronomy Picture of the Day" by NASA turns 30 today and they've shared an amazing mosaic.

I totally agree. When you go into that much trouble of creating an alternative (safer) EU DNS, try at least to make it user memorable by using easy IPs. I don5 understand why other HN users have downvoted your comment.

We’re never going to leave this planet/solar system if we don’t discover FTL (Faster Than Light) travel. Pretty scary if you think about how ridiculously empty is space.

Too bad the author didn’t explain more the concept of the “parent” universe and how our own (contracting & expanding) universe got created. Nice things to read/consider/ponder late at night :-)

I’m going to be this “old grumpy” guy and mention that I hate it when I see plain text URLs which aren’t hyperlinked… come on, we’re in 2025 just do us a favor and put links, why do I have to select the text, copy it, open a new tab and then paste it (I’m using an older iPad). Even on desktop I have to select the text, right click and then visit the site.

First world problems :-)

Very nice and explanation post. I need to try this with Unicode (Greek) characters.

Torrent link anyone?

My favorite punch line from the post "...serves to highlight just how out of touch the wealthy are with regular people..."

Thanks for this!!! My memory isn’t that good, and if you see I had commented in the previous post as well :-)

I remember playing around with a lenses and light sources simulator, but can’t find the link :-( If I’m not mistaken it was posted here on HN but couldn’t find it by searching with various related keywords. If anyone has it please share :-)

Paywalled :-(

Ah yes, our favorite HN “entertainment”. Scientists, quantum physicists in our case, having a beef about Hawking radiation :-)

Besides some high level ideas, which even us normal people can understand, there are so many details linked in the original post that you need an MSc/PhD to fully understand them.

For the time being, let’s just keep that the universe has a few extra trillion years, and isn’t expected to decay in 10⁷⁸ years ;-)

Let me fix this for you… Because always, dishonest people do win.

Good read and it would make a good short film :-)

It pairs well with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe

Most probably I’m going to get downvoted, but I’m gonna say it…

It’s a pity they don’t support Greek language, keeping in mind that almost all medical terminology has Greek origins.

Anyhow, this is a step in the good direction and for sure it will aid many people looking for medical assistance via ChatGPT.

There isn’t a single user (presenter) that would ask something like this. Only a presenter that has to follow some strict “high security” procedures would enable something like this. A politician, for example, will have an excuse in case something leaks. The fact that with a simple mobile having a camera you can copy whatever is being presented (or with slightly more technical ways) is irrelevant for laws and procedures ;-)
