Funny feelings in my tummy reading this! I worked with winapi back in late 2000s to early 2010s and I remember having some great fun with it. Although there was MFC and WPF I didn't want to learn them because I wanted the fastest &

Oh good I thought I was doing something wrong! Using ChatGPT web for planning, ask for a prompt then notice something weird in the prompt and whether I: 1) use the edit in-place functionality; or 2) ask it to rewrite to remove something It&

I always think of Johnny Mnemonic when I see such interfaces. One of the reasons I got into computers as kid. Hackers (1995) also had a great (Hollywood) computer interface that shares some similarities with it.

Same. I just skip verified posts because the ones at the top are LLM replies. Unless I'm missing something, that should be easy to detect. Instead I've got ghost banned for a week+ now, no reason given and no way to appeal. X now

Great project! I'm looking for something like this but for code: an app that runs locally and obfuscates variables & strings into generic things, so you don't leak code/db structure to LLM companies. Couldn't find an

Simply no. This is a catchphrase, a buzzword from compiler companies. We have seen here on HN time and time again many articles showing the truth to be the opposite of what you've said. It's time to put to rest the nonsense that c

Well I would never write shell because I loathe it's grammar/syntax. I enjoy GUIs and am a heavy mouse user, so the GTK part isn't really an "accidental complexity" but a must have for me. If a LLM can one-shot all

You're completely right and I thought this would be obvious. I never prompted anything remotely closely to "make a facebook clone". Instead, I make an explanation of how it should work. To give you an example: I need a py

I'm interested in seeing a plot of that percentual over the years. The past 3 or 4 years I've been seeing less and less tech savvy comments over here and this data seems a great way to find out if it's just placebo.

And then the new car no longer has the camera where you need it, the panel buttons changed, the cup-holder is in another place. Even worse, the upgraded firmware & OS of the car no longer comes with an app you needed; or it does, but re

Yet the interface is fundamentally different, the output feels much more like bro pages[0] and it's within a click of clipboarding, one CTRL V away from extracting the 13th second screenshot. I've been using Google the past 24 yea

It is not specific to right wing grifters. Left wing grifters use the same talking points but with a different reason behind. Yet they want to censor the same products: one group based on puritanism & moralism while the other based on f

I believe it's a general consensus. I thought it was just me but I also thought it couldn't be just me. We've been reading for years how Google results have sucked and specially the past 12 months it seems to have gotten wo

Tried on my simple 60Hz PC screen and also on my phone with OLED screen and sadly, it's just a flickering image. Will try later this week on my friends' retrogaming setup. Looks promising

Used to hang in the same irc room as the author. The asm hacks were impressive at the time. It's crazy it's been 20 years

I read somewhere Google makes $350 per year off each user. Divided by 12 months that's a bit less than $30. In a way, you're paying $20 less than you would by using Google, while keeping your privacy etc. Seems great when you take

I've been using Windows 10 for the past year and a 4 months now, after some 10 years 100% on Linux. I had to disable a weird setting which would forcefully update and reboot the computer when it considered to be "Not Active".

I believe if you look further and deeper you'll reach the conclusion the real issue is how awful copyright laws are and more importantly, how absurd is the current economic system. Glorified markov chains are not the culprit here. So t

What were those regressions in your opinion? I liked XP a lot but I don't remember being bothered by 7 and I'm pretty bad at changing UIs.

If you find it hard to take it seriously, I find it even more to take you seriously. What you're saying only makes sense if there's no such thing as coercion and deception, 2 things we know are practiced by Washington. A small,

If you look at the number of ex-CIA/intelligence now working for mainstream media, you'd have to suffer from a very bad case of American exceptionalism to suggest the fact they do not stand up to power (after Snowden) is NOT linke

I believe it's disingenuous to pass it off as "well it's just semantics" when, in reality since the 80s neolib explosion and after the 2010s Snowden revelations, it's pretty clear the relationship between Washington

If it were only the WaPo the ones saying things such as the comment I was replying to, then "them" would mean the WaPo. But since every corporate news outlet uses the same wording to make it seem like the CIA was "evil back i

I used to be from the romhacking community back in the 2000s and due to usage of Windows, open source/foss wasn't even known to most people. The culture of Windows programmers is way more focused on freeware/binaries. Still

You mean examples why they didn't . Just because Starship exploded at launch it does not prove all Starships are going to explode. Likewise, if you have a handful of trials of planned economy it does not imply the whole concept is inf

There really is no "correct way" to distribute C libraries and at this point it seems you're nitpicking just to nitpick. Imgui uses the same method, no one ever complained. If you do require obj files to not be "bloated&

I said either , not both points. Point 2 does not require what you call a "dualist view", it's simply stating that deep neural networks are not all there is to intelligence. Another layer of fact checking, maybe even imper

It really isn't about having a soul, but more like about either: 1) stating human brains are actually hypercomputers, which cannot be implemented in real life at the moment 2) stating just what you said before: pattern matching, no mat

I believe claims of "compilers getting faster/bigger enough" are the exact reason we have ECS now. It surely depends of the kind of game, but games with any kind of entity which isn't unique should feel the performance i
