A lot of people willingly get into scams because they think they're entering a position to be "in on it." Lots of ponzi scheme victims are like this. They know it's a ponzi schene and they know how ponzis work, but they

That's probably why Google tolerates all the blatant fraud against them by the avalanche of spam sites ruining the service. They're frauding google but google is frauding advertisers and they wouldn't be able to commit fraud

It's sad how fast some people are these days to just say "nope too hard, can't be done." Especially when it's something that WAS accomplished 20, 30, even 40+ years ago in some cases! How can someone watch a satelli

Google search still has that feature where the little preview blurb will bolden where it matches parts of your query so you can see what context the pattern appeared in. Always very useful but now it gives you a pretty good look at what goo

Can't wait for tomorrow's HN front page so we can learn about the 5 additional AI tools needed to make this work properly. And then the day after, each of those will require more agentic tools to manage the agents that manage th

I don't know where else to ask this but it's killing me. Does anyone know what the hell that GitHub physical CD thing was about? Did anyone in the world get theirs?

Yes that's exactly where I'm coming from. I love 3D printing as a concept (funny how people will make up a whole life story for you online) but it has one very strong parallel with generative AI. I see zero reason in the slightest

Dear god. As if the 3D printed crap wasn't enough.

Actually, the demigods are imaginary entities. There is nothing real about them in comparison to the smolnet protocol called Gemini.

One of the defining characteristics of AI turned out to be utter and profound facelessness. The scraping, the data centers, the slop content, it's like it all comes from thin air. Nobody is talking about who is really doing all this or

Always nice to see stuff about the real Gemini.

I would love to do this. It's shocking how little Android offers for the hardware it uses. Recently I was thinking if I could install Windows 98 on my phone, even that would be better. At least I could have more than one app open witho

Surprisingly cool site. I've seen lots of sites for RSS feeds but they aren't any good because they just dump their mountain of every feed that was ever known to exist, and there's not really any aspects of curation or discov

For me this fills a pretty interesting niche. If your device is very open and already lets you do whatever you want, koreader will seem really bloated and annoying. But if all you can do is install "apps", then you can just instal

I don't see what's so offensive about it. If it had huge boobs or something that would be one thing, but it's just a regular mascot character. Out of all the "necessary evils" that get inserted to keep a service abo

Did you know GitHub removes things they deem to be malware? Malware is a very subjective classification, so who watches the watchmen? How do we know they won't start removing things that are deemed harmful just for competing with Micro

That's where gatekeeping comes in.

This sounds great. We've hit some kind of scaling problem where "algorithms" are not up to the task of finding worthwhile stuff among the solar masses of junk being pumped out daily. And even if they were, the amount of explo

We're talking about two different things. I've never doubted that there will always be some people out there pumping and dumping their meme asset until we're all dead. There's still people trying to rally the gamestop th

Is this AI? None of it has anything to do with my comment. Power usage is not an "aesthetic" element it's literally as far from that as you can get.

Having everything was part of the marketing. It was just a complete lie. Everyone had that moment with Netflix where they realized every movie is in every category and there isn't nearly as much on there as it seems. I remember ads tha

Wow I can't believe this lightning crap is still going. No wonder crypto is still a joke, you clowns are still pushing Bitcoin like it's the be-all-end-all of crypto, and not the first ever reference implementation of blockchain.

And the subtitles themselves will be beautifully authored making full use of features like using color coding and positions to show who's talking. Sometimes you'll even get Area 51 technology where text appearing on signs will be

This feels like such a tired subject now. That's not to say don't complain, it's just surprising that we still haven't hit any kind of breaking point with this. I thought we were going to have a big die-off followed by r

I'm going to guess there's basically one real one and the rest are scraping it to present with more ads.

On mine, koreader is an app that you launch, and the stock interface seems to unload completely until you exit koreader. Then the whole "OS" is still there untouched and you can get books from hell dimensions like Overdrive. Despi

I wish there hadn't been that weird conspiracy against bookmarks that google and mozilla collaborated on. I keep trying to get back into the habit of using bookmarks, but I keep forgetting they exist again whenever the bookmark bar tur

I'm still not over the fact that they used to lie so hard about the number of results, and just quietly removed the result counter entirely when people noticed. Any explanation of that would have been nice. No way was there ever 17 bil

Lawns are for much more than just flexing. It's an outdoor part of your property which is flat and open enough to use for various activities and purposes. I don't know where people get such a cynical idea that this is THE reason a
