I've been wanting this for a long time, however, it would be really great to have some kind of standard so that multiple terminals might eventually implement the functionality. Even more awesome would be great if the api was a bit mor

The internet shock sites existed back when I was a teenager. I was exposed to those things. It didn't damage me any, as far as I can tell. Not to mention there were always things like faces of death which I found to be far more distur

It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long history of employing gun violence against striking wor

The data centers that already exist are one thing, creating a lot of new ones isn't necessary simply to continue supporting hacker news traffic. These new data centers are entirely a speculative buildout of new capacity to support theo

This seems pretty useful. Just curious, why is it necessary to load entire files into memory (let alone twice?) - seems like not that much extra work (for claude) to stream the files to disk. Maybe I'm missing some limitation due to

From TFA: > a Datasette-style backend to a self-contained HTML frontend is an astonishingly powerful combination. 1000% agree. And datasette is a terrific framework to build any kind of data exploration or visualization on. This sounds l

Wow that quote is the most useless bullshit bunch of words I've seen strung together recently. It says a whole lot of nothing in the most insulting way possible. Must have been written by a highly paid consultant.

If you are in the oil, gas and coal business and the money spent is coming out of someone else's pocket then it's a great deal.

Look at all of the headlines coming out of the department of energy: https://www.energy.gov/newsroom Lots of them related to coal and LNG. Most prominently: https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-depar

All of the things you say have been around in the form of fringe conspiracy theories for a long time. Thing is, way too many conspiracy theories, it would seem, are just plain facts (or at least very close to the truth if not 100% perfectly

Don't forget most people are stuck renting a small apartment at a significant percentage of income for eternity. Then if you hit the layoff jackpot and become homeless, then I've got good news for you: homelessness is illegal now

I don't think it'll ever recover. Partially perhaps. But we have bigger problems to worry about really.

A few years ago I heard a bang and my whole house shook. My roommate and I both thought a car had hit the house. Never did find out what caused it, I think it must have been a sonic boom, most likely a military aircraft. The way it shook

Reminds me of the movie "Dark Star" by John Carpenter / Dan O'Bannon. The plot revolves around a talking smart bomb which is programmed to detonate and then gets stuck before being deployed. The crew spends the whole mov

I agree there needs to be a line, I just don't particularly like where the line has been drawn. Unfortunately I don't have a great idea for how to do it better. That is why I'm commenting on HN rather than arguing for any par

Is working for Wikipedia somehow a higher status job than working for Google? edit: I'm asking because my 7 year stint as an engineer at Wikipedia hasn't provided me with an endless stream of lucrative job offers.
