There is a scene in "Thick of It" where ministers, in a cash-strapped government, are brainstorming laws and policies that cost nothing in terms of budget. The latest Tory proposals sound just like that. Banning floating bus stops

I'm honestly amazed that people seriously compare an 8bit machine with no network to a smartphone with Internet and social media. The Internet, amazing as it is, it's also the home to the worst possible content imaginable and beli

I have to use both Jira and Workday. Unpopular opinion, perhaps: I find them ugly and slow, but not soul-crushing. Granted, I only use WD to book PTO. If my whole work was around it, I would probably hate it too. My work _is_ around Jira, b

So many great movies mentioned here, I won't repeat them. I'll just add Hitchcock's The Birds. I saw it as a kid and it made an impression on me on several levels. For instance, a scary movie doesn't have to be about mon

I've heard somewhere online (can't find the source) something along the lines: > I wish AI would do my laundry and dishes so I could do my art and writing. > Instead, AI is doing my art and writing so I can do my laundry and

Setting aside the gravity of the situation, I'm 100% gripped by the "mystery novel" side of this. Seeing the internet piecing together the Who? the How? an the Why? is fascinating.

Absolutely, the time saved formatting a table + time triple checking it might be the same as doing manually in the first place. But I was talking about the intended usage, it doesn't sit as fraudulent to me in the scientific sense.

I don't have time to properly go through the entire list, of course, but the first paper that I've opened seemed to use ChatGPT to format a table of values, presumably not in tabular format originally. It didn't _seem_ like a

_Many_ moons ago, before I had a job, I remember that Hackintosh seemed like the only way I could enjoy a Mac OS. These days I have literally piles of old Macs that I have fun trying different Linux distros on.

I lived in one the buidings mentioned in this article. Pros: It was the most spacious flat I've lived on. I'm not talking about area, but the layout itself, it was amazingly well architected. Massive windows too, great lighting (b

I'm no expert in design, but it's really interesting to see the signs that a design "won". That is, when you see echoes and influnces of it everywhere.

Hijacking the topic: I don't use Wayland. But I have a lot of Mac hardware running Fedora with GNOME X11. What's the status of Wayland to configure input hardware, namely keyboards (ie xmodmap, xkbd)?

AI still has poor performance when "thinking outside the box". When AI is able to think creative, novel thoughts then I admit progamming will be a thing of past. But he should remember that, when AI can think creatively, so will C

Perhaps I'm overreacting, but I had my personal site on Netlify and decided to move it. I don't need anything more than a dumping ground for HTML, and Netlify was "good enough" (I wasn't aware that this issue existe

Isn't this changing soon (or at least when the Renter's Reform Bill passes[1])? Contracts will not have fixed terms anymore and "no-fault" evictions will be illegal. Those are two main ones I think. [1] - https:/&#

This is very interesting and I can see how it can produce good results. What I can't do is square this with my own observations of the current generation of parents. In my particular social and geographic circle, most parents tend to l

Not OP, but I think it has to do with the reference to Niklaus Wirth's death.

There is no tenable contemporary argument for keeping them in the Bristish museum, IMO. It seems to be all variations of "You gave me for safekeeping, now it's mine". The weird thing for me is that there is no strong cultural

Honestly, growing up, I never got into Pokemon. But now, by virtue of my young son being so enthusiastic about it, I end up, at my age, learning about it and even reading articles about it on HN! I guess it really is a testament to its long

A similar thing happened to my dad. He got it while recovering from cancer surgery. It was tough, but fortunately he recovered.

Some advancements are process improvements, some enable the impossible. Electric bulbs are neat, but there was inneficient artifical light before. On the other hand, a caveman might look at the moon, but he would never land there without mo

Completetly agree. GAI doesn't enable Humanity to do anything that wasn't possible before. Perhaps we can do it more efficiently, but it's not turning the impossible into possible, like many other previous advancements did.

Fun game. Just a suggestion: accept clicks on a position area. At least for me, it didn't accept the click unless it was exactly on the letter's body (tricky during rotation)
