"join waitlist" Translation, no, AI agents can not create their own bank accounts, but someone's spamming Hacker News to see if there's interest in creating a company to allow that. With modern banking regulations and se

>Ugh, no way. Agreed. After mastering the basic cascade, Mills Mess is a great beginner pattern to learn next, but there are way more challenging ones. Burke's Barage is another more challenging pattern.

This was posted before. Not really 3d printing. It's more of a quick casted mold maker, since it just uses a conventional CNC machine to "draw" the shape in sand and then it pours molten metal in the sand mold. A clever enoug

That's true. AMD does make some attractive Radeon cards. However, the real killer feature now is CUDA. Everyone's coding for CUDA, which AMD's hardware doesn't support, so even if they have a GPU that's on par with

The initial report he's responding to, one saying operating systems will try to schedule non critical tasks to times when electricity is cheaper, is actually a good idea. For most consumers, power is cheap enough where that level of op

Would the ban work the other way too? As a PM user, would I stop receiving a ton of spam from Indian addresses?

I remember that being the norm as early as about 15 years ago. Thus the reason behind the security mantra, "If it's not secure by default, then it's not secure". Because normies know very little, if anything, about IT se

Is that even logistically possible for rivals at this point? You think AMD doesn't want to carve out a chunk of that pie? What Nvidia is doing is hard and the engineers with the skill to design those chips are few far between. I'm

To an extent, I agree, but it depends on what you're doing. A CNC can get accuracies and scale that's hard to reproduce by hand. Also, a lot of hand tools can be very hard on your joints. Once that slippery layer on your bones bet

In Dorsey's own words, he was only one vote on the board, and only had 3% share in the company. Whether he put 100% of his time into Twitter or 1%, that doesn't change the fact that he had very limited influence over his own compa

Yeah, this is a problem for a long time on Amazon, especially with a lot of the cheap Chinese stuff posted on there. When some cheap looking product has a dozen reviews all like "very good super high quality!!!!!" you know it&#x27

You make an interesting point. Why would Google publish this, something that will only deprive them of revenue? They've already banned some browser extensions and Android apps that do this.

That just blocks common Javascript ad scripts and trackers. It doesn't block sites tracking analytics via server logs.

Kind of a strange analogy. Walmart provides immense value to millions of people. They've developed an infrastructure that delivers cheap products to areas that otherwise would have few other options. Oracle is the antithesis of Walmart

I partially agree. However, Elon Musk has personally moved to Texas, and he's begun moving some operations of his companies there as well, like SpaceX and Tesla. And those are certainly disruptors. You're underestimating just how
