Unfortunately, these days, "Show HN" is a code phrase for vibe-coded and untested projects. I was optimistic for this one because I love puzzles.

The "Hard" big diamond nonogram was not hard at all. Are you vibe-coding these?

We are in "the future" relative to both works. The current intelligence threatening our planet is an unconscious token predictor, much more like the hostile non-entity in Blindsight (which even speaks to humans via token predictio

Every Kobo reader is capable of running KoReader ( http://koreader.rocks/ ). That's the first, and probably last, step I'd take to render a book that the default reader takes issue with.

This is a great example of commenting on the headline without reading the article.

Those are some incredibly minor advantages. The advantages of ebooks - easy backups, infinitesimal physical storage requirements, searchability, accessibility for people with visual needs - each one of those outweighs every advantage you li

The source site (404 Media) requires a login to read their article. Kotaku's coverage is plainly readable.

Where "better" means you and your maintainers spend all your time scrutinizing volumes of code from token prediction machines?

Opening lines: "Today we’re changing how code enters the Ladybird project. We will no longer accept public pull requests. From now on, code changes to the Ladybird codebase will only be introduced by project maintainers." Seems li

Using uBlock Origin and nuMatrix on Librewolf got me 98% - some cosmetic ads got through.

The USA is consistently in the top 10 of nations with the highest incarceration rates. Prosecuting fewer "crimes" is a move in a better direction.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Voting for Trump (or anyone with an R by their name) is wrong; sitting out a vote is wrong. Why save all the blame for the side that actually put up resistance, however ineptly?

Don't tell OP this - he doesn't want to install multiple things. You'll scare him away from Java.
45.
by WolfeReader 4mo ago
Nah, I work on a team that has multiple microservices written over the years in different versions of Java. "Just click the installer" is not sufficient. That's why programs like jenv, SDKman, nvm, and others even exist (and

I think the issue is "I have to install two things instead of one thing" which is a pretty weird way to judge a programming language. I guess we know how he feels about TypeScript.

Here's what you need for Java: Download SDKMan/Jenv Install the version(s) of Java you need for your projects Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set Ensure your IDEs locate the correct Java home Compared to all that,

Wonderful. I know several devs who were turned off of Elixir because of bad experiences with dynamic typing. Hopefully this helps!

I'm not sure why you refer to the useful noai URL as a "marketing" URL.

by WolfeReader 4mo ago
Can you give an example of what you're talking about? I just ran a search on an author I started reading, and the results had no AI and no obvious link to AI. Using Android and IronFox if that has an effect: https://noai.duc

by WolfeReader 4mo ago
I don't owe the benefit of the doubt to a comment that says "this is just marketing" and "are people this stupid?". If OP is going to make dismissive, vitriolic comments like that, he should probably make sure that

Why in general? Because if you don't read the article, you run a strong risk of reacting to things that the article didn't actually say. See OP for a good example. Why this OP specifically? Because he is strongly reacting to the a

Step 1: read the article. Step 2 (optional): comment on the article. You're doing these in the wrong order.

It's polluting the world, gobbling up hardware, and making us dumber. And HN and LinkedIn just can't get enough. People say AI is the new internet. I say AI is the new tobacco.

Having read the article, I can tell you that you chose well.

My first instinct was to just not open the article based on the headline. But I thought, "what if there's a good point that I, as a Linux user, should be aware of?" It was worse than I imagined it would be. I now deeply regre

Instead of a tiresome rebuttal of all your hyperbolic, insincere points, I'll just encourage you to go ahead and sell your Deck. Get it into the hands of someone who will appreciate it.

I think "the pacifist route is more difficult than the default route" and "The pacifist route is the hardest way to play the game" are two different statements. The article said the first, but you're reacting as if

I agree with your overall opinion, but not sure why you had to bring LLMs into a topic that has nothing to do with them.

"It’s not realistic for a corporation, even a multinational titan with a large staff, to track down and compensate even the living authors" Then they shouldn't use those materials to train their LLMs.
