If I were Anthropic I would sue him for slander to get the equity back. Then, he may actually return it. Or he may go to court, which would be revealing...

I would like to have a great laptop running Linux but the hardware options are just not there. So I end up with a MacBook with macOS. Some may refuse to do that but I expect that's only a tiny missed opportunity.

The article starts by calling Kamen Rider, Power Rangers. Before that it said something about posts taking a long time due to research. Didn't read the rest but did skim through that crab bat pic wondering what that was, didn't re

Funny how the threads are all about jj. Personally the move to a startup focused on version control, to me an obvious sinking ship, is more interesting. Not spectrum though.

Here's a link in case it's needed (I suspect most people that assume all of their problems are because of the administration don't actually read links but maybe if it's from their court?) https://arstechnica.c

Relatively new, scripts can define dependency metadata now adays to achieve that to some degree. Any pip style versioning including an exact match works there. https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications&

I recently found a rust library that downloads and runs Bazel transparently. Lost a lot of faith in the safety of the Rust ecosystem...

It's always amazing to me how everyone continues to pay a fairly ridiculous price for Slack. Sure it has it's issues but I think people would get used to it and be just as productive with the free Google Chat they already have if

Comparing a wrapped C++ gRPC backed stack with an httpx/requests backed one is like comparing apples to elephants.

SoftBank has always managed to squeeze by after every mistake selling some early huge wins Alibaba, Nvidia, arm. Wonder if they still have any of those left in the back pocket.

And the other half thinks you can raise taxes and grow revenues while keeping the loopholes for their elites. The only thing intentional in politics is preserving your personal status and wealth. This is bipartisan.

I have seen so much governance weirdness from Codeberg over the years that it isn't even on the radar to migrate to. GitHub has gotten less stable, I wouldn't mind an alternative, but Codeberg just wouldn't ever be that. To b

I think anyone grandfathered in to a lifetime license is getting a pretty good deal on this. Mine was $119 in 2017. The only other lifetime license I have bought is Adguard, also excellent. Software that gets unlimited updates for a low pri

I maybe am reading too much into this, but it's weird to me that a zig lead would be posting about an AI-only project despite zig's stance on AI. Maybe zig's official stance isn't that well supported in their own communi

I think I follow this and most people probably also understand what it is that causes a bank default (i.e. everyone withdraws their money simultaneously). Still trying to dig at the mapping. IIUC the main difference with stock is the market

While I don't want to ruin this thread with coming out, I can't find a better place - sorry. While I have a guess on what elephant everyone is thinking about, I wonder if it's just the stock market - at a higher level capital

I have found LLMs struggle with Rust's constraints - they are optimized to produce code that passes the tests, not necessarily good code. So instead of working out lifetimes and borrowing, it will be happy to copy a buffer many times w

I notice Gemini is essentially a frontend to Reddit at this point. I'm guessing that was on TikTok and also Reddit, while the malicious Wikipedia edit doesn't make it through a subreddit. Too much muscle memory to change yet but I

I think this is precisely why I don't mind it that much. I can't audit a huge codebase like a JavaScript runtime, whether the code is by a human from scratch or not. I just have to trust it as a black box. I've seen LLMs prod

I agree with the sentiment and don't like Elon at all. But I think there is a case to say the Full refers to features, so not only lane change / parking, but actual driving fully. If it said Perfect FSD or even High Quality FSD, t

If the latter is no, I do hope the US finally ends military aid to Israel. I really doubt it will happen, but if the record says it should be ok, then that would be really great.

I don't know of anyone accessing a database like Postgres with just the stdlib in real apps. Or maybe the API is just serving data out of a JSON file checked in the repo? I agree the stdlib is great but the reality is production apps c

Completely irrelevant news - switched to Zen Browser last year and never looking back. (Cheeky phrasing, of course this is an anecdote. But for anyone the news is relevant to, definitely recommend a try!)

At this point I assume anyone with more than five years at Google is morally bankrupt to at least some degree. I don't want to paint them as bad people or anything but can't find better words for it - it's so obvious that if

This project seems to get shared every month or so. It's really sad that HN's signal to noise has fallen this hard... While I continue to have it in my feed, I'm more and more opening up Reddit since it just feels more robust
