Re:Ask HN: What's your favorite children's books? on Monday October 12, 2026 @04:39PM (#50062729)
One of my favorite books is The Most Beautiful Place in the World, by Ann Cameron and Thomas B. Allen. I read it when I was 8 or 9 years old. The story is very moving.
maybe artists—because before AI, when you saw a realistic drawing that blew your mind, you'd ask yourself “Who drew this?” but now it's more like “it's ai dude”
Re:Ask HN: Do you still own a printer? on Thursday October 08, 2026 @12:52PM (#50008311)
Yes, I do have a printer, and it’s useful; even though I don’t use it every day, it saves me quite a bit of money. Going somewhere else to print would be more expensive because they charge per page.

The only problem is that HP printers come with very little ink in their cartridges, and the cartridges themselves are very expensive. If you try buying a third-party cartridge with more ink, it might work at first, but sooner or later the printer will recognize that it isn't an original cartridge and throw an error.

My advice: buy a printer brand that allows you to use third-party cartridges, or at least one where the original cartridges contain more ink and aren't so expensive.
