15,000 miles in a ketch

Also there is no way to lower power on mobile

It is. For very small values of 2.

> Now, what happens if the moon is not at the horizon, but higher up at the sky?

Moon follows the sun to the west so to move moon "higher" up in the sky you need to rewind time (15deg/hour). In e.g. 4 hours moon barely moves in it's 28 day cycle so the moon will look exactly the same (you can take a picture and compare). It's the earth rotation that make moon "go down" or up. I've read your article 2 times and I still don't understand what is apparent problem, no wonder AI had trouble. Also it's hard to reason about up and down when moon move along ecliptic which is curve. Down at noon points elsewhere as down at sunset.

For extra fun, you can make font that are the same as original but then you add ligature for some words and you make ligature using the same font but spelling different word. For example "red" ligature will be "green".

To whom it may concern, I want $100 grapheneos phone.

ISO and ICC start with the same letter, just saying...

If you opened page and haven't seen video, the page malfunctioned, try reloading it.

On the page there is streamed real time video that is generated by ai. The setting is similar to the movie Truman show with Jim Carrey where he was main character whose life was streamed 24/7. With the limitations of current technology, it is inconsistent slop, the consistency is at most 5-10s, they probably just generate first and last frame of a 10s "scene" and make 2 videos and then stich them together. There is some monetization scheme where users can steer what's happening on screen by paid prompts.

Why is x axis unmarked? Is it hours, days, years, bananas?

"It's a UNIX system! I know this!"

I had a college who would meticulously cut that black thing at the bottom of the apple and also quite a bit of actual apple flesh, like 1cm or even more around it. When I asked him why he cut so much, he said that the black thing is remnant of apple flower and when apple tree is in the bloom it is the most sensitive so they apply most pesticides then and the concentration is highest around that black part. By cutting it away with little bit of flesh he removes most of the pesticides that are in the apple. It didn't help, few years later he died of cancer.

Speaking of forgotten woodlands, I've talked about this on HN two times already, might as well say it third time. Go on Google maps and look at the size of the Sherwood forest. I've never truly recovered from that experience.

The reason is Waterluvian's Law:

I finally understand why I quit my previous job.

Could this be used to estimate how many fingers LLM have?

In 2002 after spending my first 30 minutes on windows XP (previously 98, 95 and 3.11 user) I realized that Microsoft will never improve their UX. Every new os will be different, but not better. So I left then and there and never looked back, after some distro tourism I settled on Ubuntu in 2006 and use it even now.

I made highly relevant meme about this crater exactly 2 years ago: https://x.com/dusan_halicky/status/1849139683835744303/photo...

Apparently their beets looked the same as ours:

> The kind of beets used in such an ancient recipe should not be different from the beets we use today, even in name. We read in Dictionary of Assyrian Botany (by Campbell Thompson, 1948) that in the ancient Mesopotamian region it was called ‘shumundar,’ it was as red as blood, and has a spinning-top shape (pp. 49, 51).

Published repos are for collaboration.

Take a guitar. Very gently put finger on string. Start sliding finger while continuously strumming with other hand. On some places (usually 3rd 5th 12th fret) the string will produce clean sounds, that's where the frets should be.

You shouldn't allow repos without descriptions. Do people really cannot be bothered to write one sentence that describes the repo?

My comment few days ago [1] now look strangely prophetic. We only need to find 3 more Stonehenges.

I've been using my own text editor for over decade. Written in Lazarus using SynEdit component. It's trivial.

I think there is a world market for about five Stonehenges.

Sorry but lifting pen is cheating.

I can imagine scenario. Let's say you tell open-weight model to generate kitten video. It uses piezoelectric effect of some ceramic capacitor on gpu as microphone and adds recorded audio to the generated video in non audible range. You post kitten video on social media where ai company collects it and extract what you were saying while the video was being generated.
