Emoticons have been around since the March 30, 1881 issue of Puck magazine, if not earlier.

Show HN is not for reading material. Also, your GitHub link is a 404 error.

And that this happened with the theme from Rocky playing (a film franchise in which an American underdog beats up a Russian super-athlete), and there were broken plastic robot bits left on the floor... it really, really does seem like a comedy skit.

Specifically when produced with "exceptional purity"...

Wikipedia [0] lists room temperature thermal conductivity at 1300 W/(m·K) and says "Chemical synthesis of cubic BAs is very challenging and its single crystal forms usually have defects." I guess it remains to be seen how cheaply and easily this "exceptional purity" can be achieved.

Your links to the original Show HN just point to a comment.

Yes, this is exactly my problem with claims about the 'real' universe if we are, in fact, in a simulation. It might be literally, programmatically, impossible for us to infer anything about it. The analogy I like to use is Pac-Man believing that the entire universe exists within the confines of a blue-walled maze.

I believe it was H.G. Wells, in his A Story of the Days to Come (1897) and When the Sleeper Wakes (1899).

Maybe they're p-zombies.

Only eight years for a dryer is definitely not pretty good in my mind. It's barely acceptable unless you have a huge family and are doing laundry daily. I had a low-end Capri (Sears house brand) that was 21 years old and still going strong when I moved away. It was serviced once, by me, to replace a fuse. If I'd paid twice as much and gotten only eight years out of one, I'd be furious.

Most of them are flagged/killed. You must have Show Dead turned on. While I agree that this user is basically spamming, the community seems to be removing most of the posts. Maybe shoot an email to Dang if you feel the domain should be flagged automatically.

This is at least the third different account you've used to post this AI slop "prophetic" trilogy here. Please stop.

Oh, I meant me, personally, I don't have a use case for it. Without a doubt a lot of people are going to find this speed improvement valuable.

I don't [currently?] have a use case for this tool, but I love seeing existing tools made faster or more efficient.

True, everything depends on what one is trying to do at the time.

Regarding the `line` script, just a note that sed can print an arbitrary line from a file, no need to invoke a pipeline of cat, head, and tail:

    sed -n 2p file

prints the second line of file. The advantage sed has over this line script is it can also print more than one line, should you need to:

    sed -n 2,4p file

prints lines 2 through 4, inclusive.

I pointed out this spelling mistake when OP posted it yesterday, and they've done it again. Strange.

It looks like everything this IAX Music channel has posted there is AI slop.
