Yeah, I think you might be right. I was also thinking that it could be a weird setup of Moltbook-style LLM training?

When I was in high school, graphing calculators were pretty new. New enough that most teachers had not yet encountered them. I was a pretty nerdy kid even then, and I saw graphing calculator as 'portable computer' in 1993! So, of

So weird. #00FFCC has been my terminal font color for nearly two decades now. Love the color and had no idea about the ‘imaginary’ color Olo.

100% agreed. Once you get over the hump of "I don't need to be notified of everything" and start pairing down the notifications, I find that most of the time I can put my phone down and just get the right notifications on my

Because the whole goal is not to help us . It’s to train their AI models. You hate it and then fix it. AI gets “better”.

As a Sicilian and university computer science lecturer, I can say that hand gestures are my primary way of communicating concepts. So much so that the old joke holds true. How do you stop an Italian from talking? Tell them to sit on their h

Wow. Did not expect this when I logged in to HN today. It's 1998 all over again for me. :)

Seriously, this. More calculators need RPN. It’s the reason I keep my HP 50G in as pristine condition as possible. If this had RPN, I’d likely purchase one. Without, it’s a pass.

I use TLPI as an optional text for my CS Operating Systems course! It's honestly the best resource for a comprehensive look at the innards of Linux. I actually even snip select pages for lectures.

I count myself among this group. I actually emailed Adams sometime around 1999 or so to ask him a question about a game that I thought was his. Turns out, the game was included in a collection of Adams's games on the TI-994a (the gam

Just tested Soundcloud with a PWA using iOS Safari and Private Relay enabled. It works fine, albeit a few annoying popups asking to download the app.

Yes, but that happens to be the mainframe version. They are a bit different.

Also, part of the idea is discovery through linked high-quality sites. Like the webrings of the 1990s. You find a capsule you like and discover others through that person's links.

I've had a Gemini Capsule (what Gemini calls a 'website/blog' since about 2021. It gets very little traffic, but it's fun to have. Browsing the smallweb is nice in the evenings when I want a high signal-to-noise rat

I teach CS at a state university, specifically computer security. At the beginning of this semester, I did a poll of my students and asked if they use any form of ad-blocking. Less than a third of my students did, and not many more even kne

I think the conclusion of this article is slightly flawed. The issue isn't with engagement with the training (although, the typical corporate training material is pretty bad), rather how we go about teaching cybersecurity. I take a pag

I’m pretty sure that Gopher was only “Green on Black” because many of the terminals used to display them (ie. DEC’s VT220) used green phosphors. If you had a white phosphor terminal, it would have been White on Black.

AFAIK, the MLB.tv subscription includes full audio for every game, including in-market games. My understanding of the issue is that MLB sold off the TV rights to local games years ago to the RSN (Regional Sports Networks) and the contracts
