"A glorified subreddit for HN readers..." At some point, I wonder if `dang` would support this? It seems like a good idea. For more topic-specific higher volume news items.

This is incredible. 119 million posts, x ~10MB per picture, is like 1,200 petabytes? 1.2 exabytes? Am I missing something here... this seems very impressive.

Wow. This is amazing. Extremely practical to use, I'm glad I checked H.N. yesterday.

Horribly, lol. I think 6-7 out of 10? I have no idea what these classifications mean though.

AI moderators too would be an enormous boon if they could get that right.

Funny. I just tried to post my yearly attempt to communicate with people on Reddit, which got taken down immediately by the auto-moderator. https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/1c0nuy6/it_is_impos...

I mean, you kinda answered the question there yourself. The whole REST paradigm (spearheaded by the Ruby on Rails community) was strongly influenced and modeled after the HATEOAS paper and ideas. There's some talks and papers about it

I don't think anyone is trying to fork Dwarf Fortress and sell it on a different platform. Actually, even if they did , they would likely have proved the market to the founders earlier; maybe lighting a fire under their feet to moneti

Incredible map of PFAS hotspots in the article -- very notable applying the "is this just a population map?" test, specifically look at the West coast in comparison to the rest of the country. It seems dramatically lower out west.

Seems like a good list, I enjoyed the comic explainer of stable diffusion and learned a thing. Thank you to the authors and a16z for publishing this :).

Bridgewater famously had pretty obscene levels of tracking and monitoring and were open about it, lauding it as part of their company culture. This seems like the same type of thing.

If people think that 100%-fake papers, with completely made up data and process are bad... wait until people learn how bad 30%-fake papers are, with real cherry-picked data and absurd levels of p-hacking :p

I believe he is referencing the passage of a major, controversial Illinois state bill that passed just five months ago, eliminating cash bail among a host of other enforcement restrictions against known criminals. So we wouldn't see an

You'll be happy to know that they've partnered with Louis Rossmann and are offering free repair workshops in Austin: https://futo.org/workshops/

I've had a good heuristic in my life of simply writing off people that go on lengthy, cuss-filled rants about how bad something is without soberly explaining the technical components, offering alternatives, etc. This author seems no di

Thanks for sharing. This is an intriguing article and I'm very impressed with the depth of research, site design, and logical debate quality of the several paragraphs I've read (so far). I've been looking for great takedowns

I had the chance to speak to some Nostr devs this weekend. My impression (like other mentions below) is that it seems less like a social network than it does a messaging protocol. As with all tech protocols, there's potential for more

Is there a logical way to interpret this other than "don't use the internet"?

I bought a Sceptre a few years ago for this reason. Best TV I’ve owned, no smart features, great price and picture quality.

Jay Graber has been a respected leader in the decentralization scene since at least like 2017, alongside other core members. I trust them.

Second this. I bought a 65" Sceptre TV a year or two ago for this exact reason, it works great, picture quality is awesome, and it was less than $600-700 IIRC. I plug in a chromecast for netflix etc but it's nice to know I can unp

I don’t fault them for this specifically. IIRC the 30 minute airtime standard is some kind of FAA regulation; it’s not a differentiator one way or another between drone products.

I 100% get that, and fwiw I'm fully supportive of any scheme that eventually works out to fund traditional app development. I admit I was more skeptical in ~2017 when these grand claims were made, and it seemed like you needed to be de
