I still use "RedReader" on mobile, this works. If that client would be gone, I'd also say goodbye to Reddit.

Gosh, It's so hard to be excited about any software project nowadays, because I cannot know how much effort was actually put into it. For all I know the author merely wrote a few prompts and paid Anthropic for the tokens. Good job I gu

This is just prompting an LLM and just dumping it on the site (which is clearly what is happening here, all the articles show the same signs of AI output, no human writing, no style, as far as I can tell). If this is the level of care that

That bugged me too, so I started looking at other articles - they all look AI generated to me. Whole website should be banned.

Normally I would agree, but I've seen this happen too often. Common sense be damned, just make the number look good.

My experience is exactly the opposite (company with more than 10k employees). Getting anything done in Azure takes me 10x as long, as all of Azure is managed by one team, and everything requires approvals, lots of bureaucracy. Also, as it t

It's just as possible that they need to invest more and more for negligible improvements to model performance. These companies are burning through money at an astonishing rate. And as the internet deteriorates due to AI slop, finding g

It's just one of those sites that focuses on one thing, and does that extremely well, without trying to extract as much money from its users as possible. Rare thing nowadays.

With Windows 10 going out of support soon, I suspect there will be an increase in Linux adoption. After all, why throw out perfectly good hardware because of an arbitrary rule that Microsoft made? For me, I know that I'll install Linux

GDPR doesn't stop personal data being stored. It handles whom it can be shared with, when it has to be deleted, and only collect as much data as required. Also gives transparency to the users about their data use. And if I were to give

Well if it continues like this, that's what will happen. And I dread that future. Noone will care to share anything for free anymore, because it's AI companies profiting off their hard work. And no way to prevent that from happeni

I'm 99% sure I already saw a product launch on HN for precisely this idea.

Why would we embrace that even more? In Software Development we try to keep things deterministic as much as possible. The more variables we're introducing into our software, the more complicated it becomes. The whole notion of adding L

Microsoft has really been putting a lot of focus on improving it with each release. I love reading through the blog articles for each major release, that outline all the performance improvements that were done: https://devblogs.m

Can't you do the same with Obsidian too? It's also just Markdown, and I believe there's even a plugin to perform Git commands within Obsidian. The main issue you can run into, is when you overly rely on markup syntax that onl

Ah yes, that'll solve all problems ( https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ ). Cynicism aside, I'd rather not receive compensation in a currency that's mainly used for speculation. And to exchange it back into a &qu

I'm glad it worked out for your friend, but I can't help feeling extremely sad about this. What I mean is, why is the healthcare system so broken in the first place, that you need to take charge of your own diagnosis and treatment

Uhm.. Kagi has plenty of AI features. :) To be fair, you can turn them off if you wish.

Not really, but, like a lot of people buying EVs, I care about what impact my lifestyle has on the environment and society in general. And I can't (In good conscience) support that company anymore.

As someone who owns a Model 3, I hate how Musk constantly comes up when talking about the car (and never in a positive light). Frankly I find the brand so damaged now because of his behavior, that this will be my last Tesla. I don't wa

I'm confused by the pricing, why is going from Base to Medium more than double the price? It's cheaper to get two base tier servers and distribute containers instead, which is unusual. I like the idea of the service though, but pr

Nothing's perfect, but I do not wish back the alternatives we had (Experts Exchange, Quora, a myriad of forums where the first response was - did you use the search function, endless discussions that don't answer the original ques

This sounds interesting, I've been looking for lightweight solutions to fill out PDF forms. The documentation could use some work though.

That's really great - I imagine the people there also love sharing their knowledge, it gives them a feeling of helping too.

Thank you for posting an alternate link, as someone who doesn't have a Twitter/X account, the site has become almost unusable.

I'm overall very positive on Ubuntu, but snaps was a big misstep in my opinion. When snaps were rolled out, lots of features were no longer working in apps packaged as snaps, or it was at least confusing to users (like file picker sudd

We're already going there, the new Python integration for Excel is cloud-only - the Python is not executed locally. It wouldn't surprise me if more and more features in Excel going forward will be the same way.

I will keep using "classic" for as long as possible. This trend to turn everything into painfully slow web apps is really getting on my nerves. As an example, I use quick steps very frequently to categorize emails. In classic Outl

If you want a consistent UI (non-native look), your best bet may be Blazor Hybrid currently. Yes, it's web technology (with the overhead that comes with that), but at least it uses the native browser components, so it's not nearly

I use C# for the most part, sometimes PowerShell. But I can certainly see how it's more useful when I don't know much of the API yet. Then it would be a lot of googling which the AI assistant could avoid.
