This app is really amazing, congrats!!!

Thank you for sharing the track: I got chills within the first few seconds... could it be a matter of the high-harmonic frequencies of the strings, and the crescendo combined with the spacious reverb of the place where the music is performed?

Congratulations: from a simple intuition about something that many wouldn’t have noticed, you wrote a beautiful article.

Interesting, but the opening line threw me off:

Sure, I still make fun of the PHP I remember from the days of PHP 4.1, but even then I didn’t hate it. (ref. And “PHP: Training Wheels Without a Bike” is still in the Top 10 of my favorite memes.)

I still use it to build my latest projects, and for me it’s like breathing. Simple and functional. It’s not perfect, but no language is.

Merry Christmas from Italy!!!

I still use them to plug in my wired earphones.

So ChatGPT Atlas is basically Clippy's revenge: a helpful overlay that knows what you want before you do. What could possibly go wrong?

I think it's just because they always start developing for macOS or iOS first and only later move on to the others.

More than anything, now my chat history in the sidebar is growing out of control. I think they should have made it separate. Browser chats (mostly temporary, throwaway, and not very useful) are one thing, while my long ChatGPT sessions, the ones I actually want to keep visible and organized, are another.

Yes, I think the absence of preinstalled extensions gives a misleading impression of speed.

Trying it right now and it feels really fast.

One of the earliest references comes from John Michell in 1783, who, in a letter published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1784), suggested that a sufficiently massive object could exert such a strong gravitational pull that light would not escape—effectively predicting the concept of a "dark star," an early analogue of a black hole.

Another key figure was Pierre-Simon Laplace, who, in the first editions of Exposition du Système du Monde (1796), independently proposed the existence of such massive celestial bodies that could trap light. However, he later removed this idea from later editions, possibly due to skepticism over the corpuscular theory of light.

The first real attempt to quantify how much gravity might bend light was made by Henry Cavendish (circa 1783–1784). Though unpublished at the time, his notes (discovered in 1921) contained the first calculations of the bending of light under Newtonian gravity. Later, in 1801, Johann Georg von Soldner formally published a paper calculating the deflection angle of light passing near the Sun under Newtonian mechanics, obtaining a result (~0.85 arcseconds) that was later found to be half of what general relativity predicted.

These early discussions framed gravitational lensing in a purely Newtonian context, treating light as a particle affected by gravitational attraction.

Thanks! I appreciate the suggestions, but I was specifically looking for the source code of the editor itself.

I mean a WYSIWYG text editor that focuses on minimalism and clean text formatting, likely open-source.

Thanks! I had also come across that one, but I was referring specifically to the base editor itself. I know it might be hard to explain... sorry for not being able to provide more details!

Thanks for the reply! I remember Claude's Artifacts, but that wasn't the one I had in mind. It was a project for an editor, very similar to Canvas, possibly available on GitHub. It stood out for its minimalistic approach and the way it handled text formatting. Do you (or anyone else) recall what it might be?

I bought it back in 1998 and started using it right away... it truly felt like the future!

For convenience, I asked ChatGPT to create this table, which summarizes how many times each movie has been mentioned in this conversation so far. It got a few counts wrong (as usual), but it still gives a good sense of the frequency. I hope it can be useful to someone:

| Movie | Number of Mentions | |-------------------------------------------|---------------------| | The Matrix | 9 | | Lord of the Rings Trilogy | 8 | | Pulp Fiction | 8 | | Alien | 7 | | Fight Club | 7 | | Ghostbusters | 6 | | Die Hard | 5 | | Back to the Future | 5 | | Inception | 5 | | Star Wars Trilogy (original) | 5 | | Groundhog Day | 5 | | Terminator 1 & 2 | 5 | | Jurassic Park | 4 | | The Thing | 4 | | The Fifth Element | 4 | | Monty Python and the Holy Grail | 4 | | Ghost in the Shell | 4 | | Interstellar | 4 | | Casablanca | 3 | | Office Space | 3 | | Shawshank Redemption | 3 | | The Godfather Trilogy | 3 | | The Blues Brothers | 3 | | Blade Runner | 3 | | Mad Max: Fury Road | 3 | | Unforgiven | 3 | | Total Recall (1990) | 3 | | The Crow | 3 | | The Princess Bride | 3 | | Akira | 3 | | The Big Lebowski | 3 | | Guardians of the Galaxy | 3 | | American Psycho | 3 | | Indiana Jones Trilogy | 3 | | Kiki’s Delivery Service | 2 | | Ratatouille | 2 | | A Clockwork Orange | 2 | | Mission Impossible (various) | 2 | | Casino Royale | 2 | | Skyfall | 2 | | Ferris Bueller's Day Off | 2 | | Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan | 2 | | Apocalypse Now | 2 | | The Shining | 2 | | Groundhog Day | 2 | | Donnie Darko | 2 | | Dune (2021) | 2 | | Gladiator | 2 | | Predator | 2 | | Seven/Se7en | 2 | | The Dark Knight | 2 | | Snatch | 2 | | Prometheus | 2 | | Schindler’s List | 2 | | The Wolf of Wall Street | 2 | | Dr. Strangelove | 2 | | Silence of the Lambs | 2 | | Kill Bill | 2 | | Real Genius | 2 | | Top Secret! | 2 | | Tenet | 2 | | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | 2 | | The Adjustment Bureau | 2 | | The Expanse | 2 | | Pulp Fiction | 2 |

Thank you for sharing, I found it really useful and well done! You did a really great job!

I use Voice Dream Reader on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id496177674

I can't believe you had the same idea and necessity but you preceded me. Good job!

It's wonderful!!!

Unfortunately you don’t have a rss feed to follow… can you implement it?

From author: "Every now and then, I get a PR from a well-meaning contributor trying to add __all__ to a Python module for whatever reason. I always decline these, they are unnecessary (at least for the way I structure my code) and I thought I’d write a short post explaining why."

On Mac App Store you can find the free app Juu Background: it's very easy. https://apps.apple.com/it/app/juu-background/id1073241838

There is a study (https://href.li/?https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1...), conducted in a double-blind manner on 22 volunteers, which seems to demonstrate a decrease in some cognitive abilities, particularly decision-making, above a concentration of 600 ppm of CO2. For this reason, it is recommended to ventilate workspaces in order to bring carbon dioxide levels back to acceptable levels present in the external atmosphere, which is currently at 420 ppm. Unlike pollution from fine dust and toxic substances, CO2 has a very convenient property: the value is almost uniform worldwide, with slight variations depending on the area in which the measurement is taken. For this reason, the reference value is taken at the top of Mauna Kea, in the Hawaiian Islands. This IPCC graph (https://href.li/?https://www.ipcc-data.org/observ/ddc_co2.ht...) shows predictions, with various optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, of the increase in CO2, linked to human activity, starting from the 313 ppm recorded in 1958 at Mauna Kea. I have only added an orange line at 600 ppm to highlight the very close moment when there will likely be too much CO2 everywhere to ensure optimal functioning of our brains. We can reasonably assume that finding a solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is a significant intellectual effort, since we have not yet been able to find one. This means that from 2055 onwards, if we have not already found a solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and if we have not already started to reverse course, we may no longer be able to make the cognitive effort necessary to solve the emissions problem. And gradually, we will not even be able to solve simpler problems. Life on Earth will probably continue, since it has endured much higher concentrations of carbon dioxide. But our planet will probably no longer be compatible with human intelligence, which has evolved over the last couple of million years at lower CO2 concentrations. And it will not have time to adapt, precisely because of the extraordinary speed with which we are absurdly continuing to emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is difficult to prove that cognitive problems are not already occurring.

Thank you, very good point of view, this was exactly what I was looking for on HN! I was wondering whether to buy it but for some pseudocasual generative music and some suggestion I don't think it's the best.

It's a very intimate thing I think you can influence by touching the plant with your hands.

I discovered this device a few days, but I don't really know what it is. I was hoping someone here knew him.

Plants Play is a wearable device that allows you to listen to the Music generated by Plants and Trees. Through two electrodes settled on the leaves, Plants Play converts electrical plant variations into musical notes, and send them by bluetooth on your smartphone.
