Dose anyone know how much this costs?

I'm trying to find the value of a handy-cam iv had for a while and all I know is its from 2010 and its a sony handycam blue 9.2 megapixels but I cant find a full value the only one I could find was $200(USD) for just the camera but I have a tripod that comes with it and I cant find the value for that ither it is used and the only damaged is a faded logo on the hand strap

Re:Ask HN: Do you let your kids use ChatGPT? on Monday November 10, 2025 @05:11PM (#45881633)
If I ever have to have kids i would let them use things like ChatGPT when they are teenager I wouldn't trust an elementary schooler to use it the probably cant even understand it but I could see no problem letting a teenager using it... by teenager I consider around late 7th early 8th grade, I don't know any other country grade layout I'm referring to American grades (sry for any weird Grammer I'm not to well on that)
I could see the main idea but there could be problems with that sure it could get rid of the awkward moment of asking out but there's also to factor in what if two people like the same person and the person likes both back it would turn into a love triangle or something and also assuming all the people chose to be in the escape room there likely not going to show there full true self endless none sign up and there all forced into a room that's more like squid games or something like that you should factor in on stuff like that but you have a very solid plan on the outside but you have to think through everything for it to work

The one thing they taught me about jobs and the future in the C.A.C.C (California cadet corps) was that the more you help out/volunteer the more likely you are to get a job over someone else who didn't do anything this can also apply to stuff you did in high school depending if you did stuff in high school or not could also help :p

Re:Ask HN: What are some of your favorite documentaries? on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @01:35AM (#45588402)
I don't tend to watch documentaries often but when I do they usually are 3 main subjects that I always have a constant interest in 1.History documentaries:I love to watch history documentaries when I get the chance to but I rarely find them I would love to know good places of where to watch them I have a main focus on when king Henry the 8th(VIII) was in rule and also both world wars more specifically pearl harbor and Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the second world war(or Japan and Hawaii in general) 2.Air force/cool A$$ planes:I love the air force there planes are so cool my favorite has to be the B-2 and the nighthawk is also cool there's a nice kind of recent documentary that's on Netflix I believe its called Thunderbirds(not 100% on that) it is about 2 hours long and it shows the process of how people get trained to do airshows its nice and I would also love recommendations on what else to watch 3.horror/true crime:I haven't watched documentaries on this but I would love to find some I watch things that are similar to documentaries of it but not 100%

I would love any recommendations and will try to watch them

Re:Sexbots Are Coming to ChatGPT on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @01:09AM (#45588280)
as a person who has used many kind's of ai chat bots,them removing restrictions from the bots can have more clearer conversations I'm not saying its good that people could do that to the ai's but iv had way to many conversations stopped mid conversation due to a random rule or a rule that was not even happening in the conversations. people can be doing bad things to ai its probably inevitable and bad things could happen to them I'm not agents removing it but there should still be restriction and verification to not make it a hole problem. I personally think that this change wont have a huge impact It's less than what everyone thinks will happen.(I'm not on much social media often and have rarely used specifically ChatGPT but that's my thought I think it was a little to long (if it doesn't make sense I'm writing this in the middle of the night)I am not sure what I was trying to accomplish writing all this):p
