I enjoy the Qwen models a lot, but building things on top of them with OpenRouter has been painful. OpenRouter does a lot of great work and I really enjoy being able to use different models so easily. I like when a provider is phasing out a

I kind of like watching people try to poke government into action, but the end results are usually the same. The process of paying a large amount of taxes and then on top of that begging for them to enforce the actual laws and making tools

Glad I moved off GitHub a week before this happened. I just keep my repos on my server now and local backups.

I'm not convinced that would help. The problem is that large companies and government agencies are both misusing and NOT using the appropriate trust anchor - their fucking domain. Its just attempting to work around incompetence, which

Does anyone know if the Motorola partnership is still on with GrapheneOS or how long until a phone is made available from them?

There is no distinction between the two. If one can do it the other can just as easily. I know multiple people right now that can scrape any a site very easily. I do this at scale and it took me very little time to set up and almost no resi

Apple has been gate keeping for decades. It's a fundamental part of their business strategy. Anyone still expecting anything different is ignoring reality. It's really not complicated. If you want to continue to be gate kept, use

It was kinf of a protest against the whole popcicle stick controversy in Path or Exile. People were getting banned for using macros and I wanted to demonstrate it was a pointless battle. Yes, ban botters and cheaters, but not for loops that

I was automatong pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in a loop with a knob to adjust the loop time. This was to protest Path of Exile potion management requiring you to constantly press that for hours near end game. Also, to be clear, this is not a good

Would you say the same about a vendor selling rotten or spoiled food?

by ddtaylor 2mo ago
I had the opposite problem actually I think. I have these small nano teensy USB things that are programmable similar to Arduino, but they have a poor negotiation at start. I was using these to automate keyboard activity, so when plugged in

My 8 year old nefew can come into random HN threads and post "this is trash yo" and that would also be the same signal I suppose.

Those are closer to real objective analysis. Much better than hand waving near LLMs and dismissing the content without articulating why. My guess is that a comment that directly says that doesn't get as much traction and depending on h

In this case someone could argue you are very verbose, needlessly breaking things into lists, and comparing or contrasting things that don't have much impact or relation. None of this is new to AI. Top ten lists, spam, etc. have existe

None of that is specific to the actual content. Might as well just say "I don't like it" which is also not objective analysis. This article was about math functions, chrome, etc. If the author got something wrong, mention tha

Sounds needlessly divisive. Why not criticize the content instead of the source or medium?

The US cannot produce most of what that TSMC can can. And those US factories aren't rolling yet either.

Hi! I have been following n-gate.com a small bit over the years, because I found it very interesting and it was a rabbit hole I wanted to go down. I actually setup "xor-gate" for a while, which was trying to be a similar thing co-

I think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies. > Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.h

Thanks for sharing. I have been enjoying Davids content for many years and hope he keeps making awesome stuff. The Time Rift Arcade has been neat too.

Not that it really matters because almost all the consumer roiter manufacturers are pretty bad, but TP-Link is really, really bad. I would highly recommend not using any of their hardware.

I was given one and it had some fun gimmicks but if doesn't really last beyond a few sessions. The ecosystem is strange and I just went back to a "real" device a bit after.
