"SPH" stands for small penis humiliation in certain corners of the internet.

If you don't want an LLM to write the words, surely you also want to decide on the data and graphs to show by yourself? Isn't that 90% of a presentation? The "looking nice" part doesn't matter as much, it could be black text on a white background and it would be fine.

The important part is the presentation matching your presenting cadence, which is something LLM generated presentations never get right. I don't have a problem with people generating presentations, but most of the time they just end up reading whatever is on the screen when presenting.


Or just order some pizza to his address.

I agreed with these posts a couple years ago but for the past year there have been a lot of meaningful improvements in Firefox.


It has been my daily driver off and on again across the years since the Netscape code was open sourced and Mozilla as an organization was founded. It's a fantastic browser, but Chrome now owns the lionshare of the market as Firefox plays catch-up instead of leading like it did in the past. Memory isolation, etc never got the resourcing it needed to complete until it was apparently too late.

I see Firefox now as the new Opera, a technically good browser making dubious extensions that no one asked for until it dies a slow, spiraling death. My plea is simply to not go down that road any further...


>the country is long and narrow

This is a little counterintuitive but it does make a difference.

I recently moved from a coastal city (that is very linear) to a landlocked city spread evenly in all directions. I had naively assumed the new city would be easier to get around in, since on average places would be closer to you. But the first city has decent commuter rail, which meant I could get to the other end of the city in an hour, and use cabs for last mile connectivity.

I'm sure you can have good public transit in "round" cities too, but it is certainly more difficult to plan.

You don't have to be "sure", take a look at London which is a "round" city with excellent public transit.


Round cities are even better for rail. You run a line in a circle, like the Yamanote line in Tokyo, and now it has the advantage of periodic boundary conditions. Everywhere is central!


Not a big fan of the canonical cow.


Can’t really see it nicely on mobile


On the other hand, placing your laptop on your belly when lying down on a couch is peak computing ergonomics.


Only if you disable touchpad and use the nipple (Thinkpad).


Sadly year of the linux phone feels like it's getting farther away.


>beta feature that displays a colored line to the left of new comments (since you last viewed the page)

Can't wait until this is released!


If you don't want to wait, the refined HN extension has had this feature for a long time, but it is device specific.

I understand why NASA might be a little antsy but 100B over 25 years doesn't seem like a lot for America for a long horizon project.


It's 100b just to begin - the full bill would be multiples of that.

And there are options now.

Yikes.


Worded provocatively but with a $200B Iran war bill being pushed and DHS funding in the OBBA being increased by over $300B from baseline, it’s not necessarily wrong.
