Ok while superficially great news but the supreme cynic in me is starting to think: what if the RIAA et al go to ISPs and saying they will pay them to continue monitoring this stuff and if they bring them to court, sue them and win they wil

it doesn't mean the local tech workers will be replaced. You're right because that totally didn't happen to varying degrees in various industries in the US...

It's not just newer unsustainable companies. There are plenty of businesses that have been around for decades that are now engaging in these enshittifying practices (for dearth of a better term). Big box appliances like washers/

The fact that this has a promotional image from someone using one of those One Laptop per Child laptops (which was an abject failure) just says to me this is another misguided "white savior" attempt to solve a problem in parts of

This is 100% a political issue. Instead of introducing privacy-violating software, we could instead institute massive policing campaigns to curb speeding. But that would require actual effort by police, something they don't want to do.

How is this different to driving around with a mobile phone on? Are you serious? I can choose to leave my mobile phone home if I want to. I can't do that with my car.

Read about this singles dating event in Russia where they took cotton swabs swiped underneath each person's armpits and put them into little glass jars. Everyone then went around smelling each one and matched with each other based on w

does it really matter if it can be described as cognition or not? Yes...it does. "AI" aka modern flavor LLMs as we understand them today are just doing certain things thats humans can do but orders of magnitude faster. What exac

Yeah I see this kind of paternalistic condescending style of writing in many left-leaning circles. It sounds like it's geared for children but no they're actually writing for adults. They see themselves as moral beacons and they n

Jason Fung is probably the world's leading research expert on obesity. If you want videos to watch on it, it starts and ends with this guy. He has done a ton of lectures and blogposts going back over a decade, and also has the stereoty

All bullshit. Apple loves to make a big stand on privacy but quietly folds just like the rest of them. Remember that big stink they rose over the FBI needing access to an encrypted phone a decade ago? Apple still gave everything the FBI req

Yup, we need to start bringing back the idea of the village on the Internet. There is no good reason why I need to know what someone on the other side of the globe thinks about stuff going on in my country and vice versa.

It's not the future we need but it's the one we deserve. This place is heavily complicit in the popularity of AI. It creams its pants any time a new LLM is announced.

I don't see any kind of schism/balkanization in our future. The federal government has its tentacles in all states and the states in turn rely heavily on it for big parts of their budgets. Any one that gets to the point of secessi

Great post. The increasingly insane purity tests that the far left levy upon others they deign as less woke (in the original sense of the word) has gotten completely out of hand. Especially here on HN. Too many times I've seen normal d

He has some good takes (like the talk he gave in the OP) but also has some questionable ones. How he feels on work-life balance comes to mind. He seems to legitimately hate having to employ other people to help create his games.

Ever since Google Play Music was killed off, I've been putting off setting up a home server and accessing my entire collection like that. There's some Android program that allows one to do that, forget the name of it though. Think
