Have you heard of Amazon Sidewalk ( https://sidewalk.amazon/ )? All those Rings and Alexas in your neighborhood are able to serve as network proxies for random IoT devices. LG very likely has your neighbor's WiFi passwor

There's no simple universal roadmap for becoming competent. You just need to grind out whatever skill you're trying to master as much as possible. 10000 hours is the common number thrown around, but plenty of programmers have been

The situation here isn't that the game doesn't work. It does work, it's just the Ubisoft isn't happy with the quality of Easy Anti Cheat's (their third party anti cheat provider) Linux offering.

Copyright has nothing to do with cost of production. What does it cost for me to doodle something on a napkin? Nothing, yet I still enjoy the full protections copyright law offers for that doodle (with the exception today being AI companies

Guess it's time to stop donating to the EFF. They're completely off the mark this time. The random loser generating slop in his bedroom isn't necessarily the one infringing, it's the AI company that took all of our work

Sorry, I forgot this was HN and wasn't obnoxious enough in my reply. The original question was: > Would Chrome, Android, and YouTube be viable companies without the money-printing engine that is Google’s ad business? Please take not

Why does 'Chrome' need to survive as a standalone company? It never had a business model besides "support Google's monopolies", so it shouldn't survive (IMO). Lots of browser vendors already use Chrome's

Why would you be "torn" on this? Competition breeds innovation, and monopolies are literally the opposite of competition. A break up of big tech doesn't destroy anything or reduce economic activity, it can only accelerate it.

It's always fun to see the people throwing fits over this kind of thing. No matter what approach/wording they use, and no matter how hard I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, the mental images my mind forms of these people

Honestly I think I'd have an easier time understanding 1000s of lines of slop than 93 lines of proofs lol. Does anyone have any recommended learning resources for this type of thing? Skimming the repo, it looks like a lot of unicode an

This would probably be more effective (and controversial) if the reports included the linkedin profiles of the recruiters/employees involved in the ghosting. I can imagine a lot of situations where it'd be unfair, so maybe giving

I see two options: 1. The AI they used called it "physics-based" as a hallucination (probably due to the popular "JellyCar" game), and they went with it because they don't know better. 2. They don't know better

So you're saying that it's not fair to rate a coding model on its ability to code, and instead the best way to use it is to tell it to find existing human-written code online rather than generate actual code on its own?

Aren't those about organizational processes instead of just specific software features? For example, I don't think self-hosting gitlab is enough to claim ISO/IEC 27001, just based on this snippet from wikipedia: > ISO&#x2F
