Honest answer, building and maintaining a large complex project over many years. We have plenty of examples of one-shots like the 1000x slower gcc, but those don't see updates after they achieved their advertisement goal. Maybe a littl

Distilling your own alcohol is technically trivial and process inputs are sold readily at every supermarket. So clearly we should just allow 15 year olds to buy hard liquor since we can't stop them .. HN baffles me again again with the

There is the entirely plausible option of the NSA indirectly bankrolling them to counteract the growing number of TLS connections. We terminate your TLS for free in our server and you don't have to change anything was a sweet deal for

Guys, stop trying to solve climate change. You can't solve "wanting the wrong thing".

Addicts are your most loyal and exploitable customers. Things will keep getting worse in the US as long as the current nothing is anti-competitive policies endure.

"I have nothing to hide" -> "Ok take off your cloth". Privacy is a useful social construct not some abstract mathematical concept. Everyone has stuff to hide and that's ok.

What a bunch of entitled whining. How is the system to know that it's just a private conversation that won't be used in some fraudulent way? Abuse is currently rampant, yes please let's find a way to mark LLM output. The thin

They are asked _once_ during browser setup, same way on iOS users are asked once during setup if they want to allow Apps to track unique IDs (memory is hazy, they did that a couple years ago). And surprise surprise IIRC 96% of users said no

My gut instinct is to call you a mooncalf, given the lengthy documented history of OpenAI "re-appropriating" things and wanting to profit from it. So here is my honest question, what light did you see them in before and what did y

Good on you for trying, and I'm not saying it can't improve things. Optimizing for structural metrics is still only as good as the metrics. I can say with confidence that no metric exists for good design, because good design is ar

Honestly that resonates with me. I haven't made up my mind 100% about the topic, but I can say it would be an easier decision if there was a stronger support network. Watching single children be bored and play with their semi-enthusias

The article paints immigration as something undoubtedly negative: > They are willing to accept a smaller economy, strained pensions, and dead rural towns as the price for keeping their core cities safe, clean, and culturally familiar. I&

I despise AI generated no-effort art as much as the next person but what they are offering here is fine-grained application of AI tools which is completely different to one-shot do the art for me. Does anyone have experience with the proces

It's not seamless now is it if half the commands don't work. Wine and other compatibility layers show that non-trivial software doesn't work if even one of the many layers uses something unsupported.

Based on operating experience and outlook, Rocketlab shouldn't be forgotten on that list. Launch cadence is the driving factor for revenue and profit for these companies' launch division.

Long story short, your point was that machines can do many things better than humans and I argue they can't even do kitchen knives better. How easily and well you cut through things depends on the thickness of the blade wedging them ap

Even something as "simple" as a kitchen knife - the same basic concept found in ancient roman everyday kitchens - can't be made to the same quality by a machine as per hand. CNC can't do the tolerances needed behind the
