That's a really weird argument. That's like saying that we shouldn't be afraid of radiation because it's just decaying atoms

At this point their products have so little material that it may be better for the environment to buy an IKEA one vs decent furniture (from the standpoint of caring for the environment)

I mean, they even recreated an IKEA inside a dungeon and you have to navigate it and get the part to build your Kallax

Do you know if there is a way of pointing any of the hackernews phone apps to your site instead of the official one?

Giving "git was built for open source projects but not all projects are open source" as a reason why they think git won't work in the future is pretty weird

You can lease it. We don't own the software on our phones, may as well not own the phone itself

What are you talking about? The same can be said about 59F (15°C) and 60F (15.56°C) "One fahrenheit increment doesn't feel like anything" At least Celsius are grounded in reality, should I be worried about ice? Just check if

I stop using AI and do the job manually. I normally give AI one shot at the task. If it fails then it's not saving me any time

It is funny that there are people defending Google because "it's the law and they have to follow it" when Google is completely ignoring privacy laws around the world. They could have done the same right? They probably even ha

What about all the privacy laws that Google is bypassing in Europe? They don't rush to apply those

I don't have any other evidence, but if there are any Spaniards here I would like to hear what they think

by gonzalohm 8d ago
Anecdotal, but in Spain kids don't take these tests seriously. I remember when we were in school we would ask if the tests counted towards the final note for the subject and they didn't so we would just basically finish asap so we

Same experience. I moved to Windy and I just look at the weather radar and make my own prediction. I guesstimate that it has less than 50% accuracy for my area

I'm convinced Google TV firmware does something similar. I have an LED bar connected to the TV via USB and from time to time the bar turns on but the TV is "off". I think it's silently turning on to send some kind of tel

That's not necessarily the reason. Less technical people are usually bound to just one provider

But you don't own your passkey. That's the biggest red flag. It's yet another wall by apple to prevent you from leaving their ecosystem

I think you can but it has to be supported by the website that you are using

by gonzalohm 12d ago
Doesn't that defeat the purpose? I thought the objective was to get rid of passwords

by gonzalohm 12d ago
I think with passkey you don't own the private key. It's in your device and managed by the OS. That's one of the reasons I don't use passkeys (the other being that if I lose the device I can't access my account)

You can use some kind of catapult for that

It's the wet dream of any CEO. Subscription model for companies to pay to do tasks and subscription model for companies to understand the output of the subscription model. Amazing, they should do another Silicon valley season

It's not just the internet, it's everything. Every document I read at work has been AI generated at some capacity. It's becoming so annoying that I have to use AI to create a summary. I don't know if anyone agrees, but A

You mean as a way of protecting against fraudulent charges? If so, there are services that give you single use card numbers and you can set up spending limits.

It's extremely complicated to organize it, though

I am one of those engineers. I just don't want to be dependent on it. I want to still do the work and learn how to be a better programmer
28.
by gonzalohm 16d ago
If that was the logic then software engineers would stop using AI to "protect their jobs" but that hasn't been the case. There will always be people that work against their own profession and colleagues for short term gains

Right, and while you are getting your free taco you can probably ask for a copy of the menu so you can know if you are able to afford it One thing is offering free demos or discounted products for a short time and a different one is making
