If you're going to spend tokens on the RE for this, it would've been nice to spend some tokens documenting it or making it easier to navigate

You're right, of course, but you're on a website of a VC firm.

I use Gboard with the network permission disabled. It works well but I hope they have a better stock keyboard, I haven't found any others that don't annoy me in one way or another.

It's not "us" that matters, assuming that means very on-the-pulse power user types. We're a tiny fraction of users. Over 99% of users have probably never even spared a thought for the ToS.

Would be great if it could get included in Flathub, without it, I'd rather have an AppImage than a Flatpak file I think

The thing is, people liked old Twitter and then it got taken away from them with all of the changes to X, so there's merit in a clone of what was. Many such cases, WoW Classic's popularity as a random example.

I'll take the bait, what makes Bluesky a bad copycat? It's just old Twitter. I can't for the life of me see what makes it "seriously bad", it has a pretty large userbase, it's seemingly got a decent number of n

If I thought this would happen I would've done something else with my life. There's still some fun to be had, and I'll probably stay in the industry because it pays well and I have history here, but the magic has largely died

Really didn't see programming going the way of blacksmithing in my lifetime, let alone early in my lifetime.

As opposed to what, neglecting the human experience to grind yourself to the bone for those who own capital, and then voting to uphold that capital? Makes no sense.

No it doesn't. Hacking meant something akin to "tinkering" long before it meant unauthorised compromise of a system.

The bar for that is sadly low, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYa8NV5k-U

GrapheneOS is concerned with security more than anything else, to which rooting is completely counterproductive

llama.cpp is better and it's what everyone switches to after dipping their toes in with ollama, I don't get your point

That's not really what I think of when I think of taste in software development. I think of taste more in the sense of how to go about architecting something, what problems are worth solving, what technologies should be used, how to st

I'm not gonna say where we're at now is better, but as someone who has never had any interest in webdev, the perpetual JavaScript frameworks baffled me. How could they still be interesting and how was there not one that was good e

This is a pretty good middle ground, I think. You can't prevent LLM usage and there's significant downsides to doing so universally, so restricting contributions to things that a human needs to demonstrably understand circumvents

If you can find a way to stop Emacs from being painfully single threaded, yeah.

The point is that nowadays people will see anything with emdashes and assume it is slop even if it's hand written

I feel for those who genuinely liked using emdashes in their writing

I'd love a flag for "Show HN"s that indicate the author actually wrote it themselves so I can go back to being impressed by them

The doomers aren't the one investing billions, so I think they're a slightly lower cause for concern than the ones significantly reshaping the economy.

You're right, but American models aren't super different in that regard. Ask an American model about Israel and you can immediately tell they're responding in a different manner to other queries. At least with open-weights mo

I don't think people are saying China isn't bad, they're saying it's incredibly hypocritical because the US is also bad

It's good because it's an actual standard instead of 7/27 which is backwards for half the world. Besides, I'm actually from the future and they delayed the model a year, learning from Anthropic that good models are actua
