Tax the rich. And by that I mean people who "earn" their wealth through mechanisms that aren't direct income. Heck, give an exception to the tax on the first million of non-income based wealth. But something has to change bec

The actual education can be useful. I dont think my masters degree has ever landed me job. But I would not have been able to deliver many of the things that got me a leadership position, nor be as capable as an engineer as I am today withou

Its funny because Kagi apparently also uses Google, and Microsoft and other threads were complaining about it. It sounds like they use everything to give their subscribers good results. Which is what it sounds like I am paying for.

If they notice. Again, a printed version of the contract that is signed has no evidence of the attack. The attack is on getting your legal LLM to hallucinate specific things of what you are signing. I doubt a judge will look favorable on pe

Land is scarce. Also, generally, property taxes are paid to the city/county that makes that land desirable to live in.

Like usual the answer is it made it easy to use. Think Linux and Windows. You have a customized Linux setup kind of agent. Open claw is the easy install wizard assisted version of that that the masses can easily setup. It's nothing new

Cause it was written by AI.the entire mid section is classic AI slop writing. Repeating the same points and numbers over and over, repackaging the same idea with "key takeaway" and shit. The voice of the author is heavily AI coded

I feel like you missed the first third of this article that was quite clear they are not saying there are no uses cases. They are saying there doesn't seem to be an economic model that makes sense.

As the article itself describes, programs that expose kids to fields they might otherwise not have a chance to interact with. A field trip for kids that focuses on creating more people in the future who are interested in the field from more

I think the argument the poster is making is as root cause analysis. The root cause of the messenger failing was the missing nail. Sure it could have been many other things, but in this case it was the nail. And if it was a pitched battle

From an ergonomics perspective big-endian is the little-endian of stack based machines. Register truncation is the big reason why from an ergonomics perspective we prefer little-endian, but in stack based machines the equivalent is pop tr

Co-routines can be a nebulous sort of concept because it means different things in different places and not all of them have the same features. But some of the big points are: - Heap allocated call frame. Instead of being pushed onto the st

I think you are misapplying that paper? This as a library is the "batteries" to C++'s no-batteries-included standard library which does not implement asynchronous coroutines at all. The paper is much more on the side of appli

I mean yea, I read this as an idiom for "went to do something wholly unrelated to programming". Not as "I literally am going to begin farming". Like I would read anything from "restaurant owner" and "artis

To be fair, I suspect they meant it in a more idiomatic sense. Not that they literally went farming. Sort of like when one says "water under the bridge" they aren't commenting on bridges, nor water.

Eh, calling on a company to do a thing is some mix between public fact finding and threat here. It allows the public to comment and maybe the senator will like the public support they are getting. Alternatively a pharma lobbyist will show u

And of course an attacker like this has a high likelihood of being a state actor, comfortably secure in their native jurisdiction.

I mean you can just not use iostream? A lot of modern C++ projects just ignore it. For either C style IO or more C++ -y IO.

You should be though. Without evidence, raw skepticism is a valid argument. My prior beliefs were not updated by either statement. Though I agree the polite/generous version of this is asking for source rather than just posting "N

Sure, but then you have to add back all the Java libraries they then used ontop of it. I assume the developer also used a tool like this to cut it down, the issue of bundling the custom Java runtime was never the size, it's that java w

Have you considered that they may have done this in "self defense" to the abuse this aggregator was causing them? Besides, by your argument, connecting to websites at all is privilege. HN wants the privilege of reading their conte
