two_handfuls··on How I changed teaching after AI managed to do all my homework assignments
Or possibly because quizzes and homework are a good way to learn the material, but if students have the AI do it instead they won't learn.

No obsession required.

two_handfuls··on Doing Everyone Else's Job
Was the company over 1000 employees?
two_handfuls··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
Your eyes won't be focused on "infinite" in VR either. The focus distance is similar to the distance to the screen on your desk.

To be clear, you don't have to run things on it, you can stream wirelessly from your PC.

An advantage of a standalone unit is you can take it with you, or for people who don't already have a gaming computer.

You're also asking why not have it plug to a more powerful machine. The answer for that is simple: wires get snagged and pulled on, in practice it's a poor experience (remember, you cannot see the wires when you are wearing the headset).

two_handfuls··on Google Maps Now Shows 'Lake America' Instead of Lake Ontario
Edit: not anymore.
two_handfuls··on Google Maps Now Shows 'Lake America' Instead of Lake Ontario
Apple Maps shows the correct name.
two_handfuls··on EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws
Surely this is going to cement the reputation of datacenters as a blight.
two_handfuls··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
This is not ok.
two_handfuls··on Zig’s Io.Threaded is neat
Oh man this finishes too early, I would want to read more!
two_handfuls··on Radiation damage to Hubble has been 4.3 years out of phase with the Solar cycle
This sounds like the "hmm this is strange" first step of discovery.
two_handfuls··on Yes/No/Cancel causes Aspirin sales to soar (2007)
You might like "save continously but call it 'history', offer a save button but that just names the current revision"

This lets you throw away and start over, but also gives you infinite undo even after "loading" an older version.

two_handfuls··on Buy Your Friends Batteries
A home battery you can just plug in. Interesting. Are those legal in the US?
two_handfuls··on GIMP Development Update
> Anyone enlighten me on actual usability problems

I wasn't able to use the "move" tool to move a semi-transparent layer, it kept on switching my selection to the layer below it and moving that. That violated my expectation.

The solution was to use a modifier key, but it took me a while to find it.

two_handfuls··on Medieval Ideas About Food
Yes. I have started to really empathize with the people who choose not to read the linked articles.
two_handfuls··on Show HN: I'm a 15 Year Old Wannabe Engineer, This Is a Cycloidal Gearbox I Built
What is it? Is this like a gear, where the output shaft turns at some fraction of the input shaft? Is better or worse than traditional toothed gears in some way?
two_handfuls··on Show HN: I left VSCode to build an IDE to handle many projects/agents workflow
Worktrees I suppose?
two_handfuls··on Offgrid, solar powered fridge, with no battery bank
Second paragraph: "It ties into the typical offfgrid system of a solar charge controller, battery bank, and photovoltaic panels to maintain a safe temperature range."

So it doesn't have a battery bank, but you're expected to plug it into one.

But then it explains the real difference. Still worth a read, don't give up at that second paragraph!

two_handfuls··on Ten Steps Towards Happiness (2015)
Came in not expecting much, but those are all good points, expressed concisely.
two_handfuls··on Moonshot AI suspends new subscriptions due to Kimi K3 demand
No reason to make it easy for them though.
two_handfuls··on REO Trucks I4 4WD Pickup Truck Starts at $21,500
Well best would be websites not using cookies so there is no need for a notice.
two_handfuls··on Battery packs: Let's talk about crates, baby
For those struggling for context like me: this is about the Rust programming language.
two_handfuls··on SpaceX stock erases all its gains and slides below IPO price in intraday trading
It doesn't, because SPCX isn't a space company, it's an AI company with a space hobby. That's what the IPO paperwork says at least.
two_handfuls··on Why is LinkedIn enumerating my browser extensions?
Good point, they really shouldn't allow this.
two_handfuls··on Why is LinkedIn enumerating my browser extensions?
They still do this? Wow.
two_handfuls··on Show HN: Zero Browser
Ah, thank you. I must have missed the API. So it's more about data and less about presentation then.
two_handfuls··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
SpaceX the company has done and is doing amazing feats of technology.

SpaceX the stock is only in a very small part about rockets and space. In their filing they talk about their total addressable market being $28.5 trillion, of which $26.5 trillion are AI.

That means that they believe the SpaceX stock is 93% about AI.

It's open to argument whether xAI or BTC is crazier - I just wanted to say that when talking about SpaceX stock, it's not really about rockets.

two_handfuls··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
SpaceX since the IPO is an AI company with two side projects: social networks and space.

I say this based on their filing which says that the vast majority of predicted profits will come from their AI company, citing a $36.5T total addressable market.

two_handfuls··on Show HN: Zero Browser
I'm having a hard time understanding what this is. It's not a web browser- it doesn't support html. What does it browse then?
two_handfuls··on Wind and solar generated more power than gas globally in April 2026
Inertia was an issue, now it's solved with grid-forming batteries that can provide the same inertia a rotating flywheel did.

Most projects today are solar+battery or just battery alone, so inertia is no longer a blocker, it's just part of designing the project right.

Here is a "Practical Engineering" video on the topic, mentioning that your concern is real: https://youtu.be/7G4ipM2qjfw?si=qfVymRpKFpuexQF_

And here is a more recent video about how Australia runs on a ton of solar with no issues thanks to grid-forming inverters: https://youtu.be/qavFbOpt4jA?si=dlkEEN4sZLCv2os5

two_handfuls··on CBP Directive 3340-049B: Border Search of Electronic Devices
The question was: "Does that apply to non-citizens?"

Saying "they can deport you" without specifying whether the hypothetical "you" is a citizen or not means you did not answer the question.

Not that you have to answer a stranger's question, but I thought I would clear the confusion in the hope it may be helpful.
