This is the main thing that Android users have been saying is the differentiator for them using Android, and they're butchering it in multiple ways. Wild.

The person that introduced this bill is not a lawyer. A former tech worker, actually.

I believe the fans are actually smaller. The rack is definitely quieter than other racks, but he says in the rear rack tour that it's quite hot. Check out these videos of it [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHbgjB0

This is a point of hubris I see among SWEs very frequently, for some reason. People like to think they could make a better system, one that's black and white. The truth is the use of judgement and context is essential to a good legal s

I guess if they integrate this then that will be the case, I'm not sure I'm convinced that much stuff is going on in dbt cloud that I can't do in dbt core. A comparison that's obvious to my team is the release cadence of

Seems like a great pair. Especially the bit about static analysis instead of using string parsing. Frankly, the dbt product hasn't really evolved much. I've been a bit disappointed with its lack of evolution toward this stuff orga

The beautiful thing about essays like this is that they show you that the author has truly never known what he was talking about. Just a guy who stumbled through life at the right time. It’s a shame these people have so much power and influ

This is just literal propaganda output by a think tank.

I completely agree. There's something really jarring about watching videos from this time, where things were just more candid in a way that's hard to describe. I only clicked through a few videos and I was smiling from ear to ear.

Amazing all the newfound lawyers in the HN section here pointing out "loopholes" in the rule and then getting corrected by the next commenter. The FTC continues to do the good, thankless work of making good public policy. I apprec

I've seen this ad a hundred times during the Olympics so far (why do they play the same ads over and over?) -- and this article summarizes how it makes me feel very well. The logical extension of this stuff is insane -- why have kids l

Reddit has declined in quality significantly since the API changes. All my favorite subreddits lost their moderators, which were always the heart of the site. Couple that with their constantly pushing their own (objectively inferior) client

I can think of an entire body of people who should be excluded from such a role; people who spent multiple years working at OpenAI.

Anyone using these tools is asking for all their data to be hoovered up. Locally powered AI is the only way to use it if you care about this kind of thing.

I guess I am too humanist to believe this sort of rhetoric is not callous. I know people who lost their jobs in that layoff. It hurts a lot of families. Companies should think about organizational bloat during hiring. If their revenues are
