Poor study design for such sweeping claims. Correlation is not causation. Plethora of reasons people who were later measured with small brain sizes may have been heavy TV watchers earlier in life.

Perhaps people who already have small brains watch more TV. Or perhaps exercise is important to brain size, and people who can’t exercise watch more TV. Or maybe not watching TV, and doing other things with your time, grows your brain size.

Exactly. what financial benefit can Apple get from a nonexistent OAI hardware business with no launched products? What actual harm has been caused so far? This is all about preempting future harm by slowing their product launch by years or, like Waymo/Uber, forcing OAI’s hand to cut losses and sunset their hardware ambitions permanently.

Great artists steal ideas, not a painting off a gallery wall.

more than 80% of workers in the US have paid sick leave without doctors notes required. varies by state. not sure where you’re getting your information…

i wonder if multiple choice is the best method to test this. given the ubiquity of LLMs, perhaps an open ended, free text field would be better. that way you’re forced to define the word as you see fit and the LLM checks?

also, some of these words are actually not good ‘obscure vocabulary’ but trivia crap. overall a bit AI slop and too easy.

Is there a rule against posting AI slop? Fake photos and web copy. No actual device or working prototype. No details or photos on internal mechanisms. And anyone who knows anything about drip machines would know an insulated carafe is greatly preferred over an active re-heating element.

moviegoing has always been evolving. from kinetoscopes to grand movie palaces to suburban multiplexes. nothing has ever stayed the same for long in cinema.

heck, most theaters used to be continuous program viewing, meaning you’d show up not knowing what was playing, halfway through a movie, cartoon, or newsreel. scheduled viewing was pretty rare until the early 60s, only reserved for tentpole movies like Gone With The Wind or Ben-Hur.

in some ways, where we are heading is back to where we were: tentpole cultural moments like Barbie or Avatar thrive, but the bread and butter of entertainment happens informally, but now at home.

It’s not hard tech, but certainly the use of intelligence “tests,” rorschach blots, etc. fits in line with many other stories shared on HN. Especially these tests being used to separate children in the year 2025 not 1925.

It’s also a popular article trending on multiple aggregators, I read it elsewhere this morning.

US, Canada, Australia all did this stuff in the 19th and 20th centuries. The issue is, it’s 2025 and these tests are not illegal in one of the most developed countries on earth.

i wonder if foveated streaming combined with foveated rendering could be used in the cloud gaming space?

if latency is low enough, then you could get a super high fidelity experience on a thin client VR display with low cost rendering server side.

Nvidia GeForce Now is already very impressive for streaming games at full field of view 4k.

thin client VR gives you longer battery life, lighter devices, lower entry cost. and with a cloud gaming service rendering the game, an even lower barrier to entry

yeah it made me wonder what all this fuss is about. perhaps im numb to big numbers now. but $6b is a miniscule fraction of NVDA.

For me in the US, potluck describes the style of food and culinary expectation of guests. The actual gathering could be fun and wild if it’s a fun and wild family potluck or uncool and lame if it’s an elementary school fundraiser potluck.

Both of those were funded by and built off of American technology and investment. TSMC as an outsourcing of American made chips and ASML as a direct result of DoD research.

The equivalent of an additional $50 uber ride to the airport once a month can tank your business?

Headlines are marketing and layout design, not journalism. Journalists have no role in title generation. And changes could be due to AB testing. Seems relatively immaterial to me.

That kind of extreme poverty juxtaposed to extreme wealth, and all of the social ills that come along with it, have always been a fixture of the American experience. I don’t think it’s a good barometer or whether the USA is in decline when there has long been pockets of urban decay, massive inequality, drug use etc. Jump back to any point in American history and you’ll find something similar if not much, much worse. Even in SF of all places, back in the wild west era gold rush or in the 1970s… America has always held that contradiction.

so how does the $14 billion sale price sound to you? seems like one heck of a deal

$14 billion makes no sense to me. Are they missing a zero? Seems like a very lucrative deal for some handpicked insiders to profit from.

Yeah it really was a revelation. I didn’t know much at all going in and was constantly amazed.

I’ve since tried a number of highly touted recent CRPGs and RPGs… and gave up on all of them; BG3 really spoiled me I guess, but I’m also a pretty selective gamer.

You both have good and valid points of view but this site deserves a higher level of decorum.

We have a lot to thank for the passing of power from one generation to the next over the past millennia. We don’t know what we don’t know. I imagine the next enlightenment or the next freedoms to be won will require older generations to “move on.”

I think that's what makes this HN submission actually interesting. It underscores how this still relatively new material had become so quickly commodified, ubiquitous, and unremarkable that it played an unknown role in one of the most universally taught moments in US history.

Link works fine.

good. speed kills. off highways, speeding is particularly dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers.

65mph is plenty fast. going beyond 70/75 is diminishing returns in the safety of other drivers, not to mention worse greenhouse emissions.

a crash at 80+ is so much worse than one at 65. and American highways are not the Autobahn. different design and engineering.

your first statement is not correct. at theaters in the US, ID is only required if the moviegoer appears under 17. there is no blanket ID check nor recorded storage of those IDs.

also worth noting that in most places in the US, it’s not a legal requirement to card, but a industry agreement with the MPAA (self regulation)

yeah I think the free market can figure ad load out. creators who go overboard on sponsored segments will get less views, less engagement. there's a natural equilibrium.

Is it actually expensive though? Or does it just feel that way? A movie costs $15, or roughly 13 cents per minute of watch time.

The average daily YouTube watch time is north of 40 minutes per day for adults in the US. That's a penny per minute for YouTube... 11x cheaper than a movie.

Stealing from creators shouldn't be celebrated.

Have you ever made a video before? It's actually quite a lot of work, especially if it's any good. Hours upon hours of time.
