> It's a short walk, along a sidewalk separated from the street by 10 feet of grass. Sam would have to cross two streets with crosswalks, which she'd seen him do safely hundreds of times—including six times that morning

How have they had a negative impact? How about google?

don't forget LLMs are great at translating between languages, and within the same language. depending on the problem it works on, it will often reach for terminology that tend to be more common or familiar within that problem set. whi

Great idea! After all why reinvent the wheel with TUI libraries built in a popular browser-based front-end javascript framework?

the obvious thing to do is keep using firefox as your daily driver, and load up the other browser as needed for the video etc. I'm being tongue-in-cheek here because it seems most people just give up on safari/firefox if one thing

I've always thought that if online advertising as a business model had been entirely banned from the internet in the 90s, the internet would've looked like a much better place today. And micropayments would've taken off in a

My carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms or RSI basically went away once I started using a macbook as my primary computer. It definitely doesn't hurt when the trackpad is right below my thumbs.

I once bought a digital/electric pressure cooker for $50 CAD barely used off craigslist in Toronto. They're not that expensive.

I meant more in the sense that it's less of a blocker if you wanted to use a different OS altogether. Many people are on Linux because it's the most well supported, but if you happen to be on BSD and you're missing something

$1M invested in a reasonably diversified portfolio gets you about $3,000/mo lifetime at ~3.5% safe withdrawal rate. That might be quite restrictive in the more expensive cities.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the BSDs got an increase in users purely due to AI models making it far more accessible / easier to hack on. i.e. your PC is unsupported for some specific driver, such as bluetooth? stick AI on t

M4 Max is typically better than M5 Pro for inference IIRC.

Also classic, someone finally jumping in with a full and insightful explanation. What a turnaround!

from the article: >The stereotypical activist action is to make a petition. But Google had already ignored a large petition on this issue. Plus, Google’s executives likely hardened their company against stereotypical organizing tactics.

I love mental rule of thumbs / heuristics that we can install into our brain to avoid getting caught up in cognitive biases or other mistakes. An easy one that I would expect most HN readers probably do already is: When shopping, alwa

Terminal is where the real work has always been done. VS Code on the other hand is 100% a fashion thing.

any reason you went with q8 over q4? I'm wondering if q4 would run noticeably faster or not.

Nasdaq, FTSE Russell, and CRSP all implemented fast-track options. Fortunately S&P kept its 12-month requirement.

That's true. Although I think the article is really hinting at a larger problem than just creators. The problem of the power law distribution - few winners taking all vs the losers in the long thin tail. Sometimes it's not an en

Good idea, but I also wouldn't be surprised if law enforcement already have better tools for detecting if someone nearby is wearing smart glasses.

I've got a suspicion that it was more common a few decades ago. I saw a bit of that in China back in 2007 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's less of a thing now.
