Anecdotally, YouTube will show to boomer home owners scam solar product ads which they'd never show their younger, more scam-resistant counterparts. So they at least make some adjustment. Also wouldn't we farm & sell our ad-fr

It is funny, when they showed how easy to ignore all the Apple TV menus would be, all I could think was my consistent opines to various elderly TV users who I’ve complained to about smart TV/TV app menus. “I just want the ugliest, high

When they titled this, did they think “what concept will HN dislike the most?“? :) (Excuse snark; commenting on fact we prob appreciate human-published content)

Good eye! In this case, complaints are numerous. See a web search for: openai persona verification site:community[.]openai[.]com e.g. a thread with 36 posts beginning Apr 13: "OpenAI Non-Announcement: Requiring identity card verificati

Yes to the reply by mx, and— I’d find this (speaking of!) engaging, with just three changes: >Hey, anybody at LibriVox considered curating a "Featured reads" section or making a "Popular reads" section for the homepag

Interesting, first link changed now: "Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 are hosted by Anthropic PBC and Google Cloud Platform." They also mention: "GitHub has provider agreements in place to ensure data is not used for traini

Right, one that by my understanding “pools” searches, in a way. As their blog put it in 2023: “Mullvad Leta uses the Google Search API as a proxy, caching each search. These cached results are shared amongst all users, reducing costs and im

I’ve heard the same. I expected the product to be a speaker to mount on the top of the door to play music on both sides of it, or something.

>There’s not a day goes by on HN that I don’t see stuff that fits this mold. Surprised this didn’t smack me in the face when I first read the post. This very site does indeed serve as a bit of a counterpoint. How could we compare and con

Maybe a decade ago I read from critics concerned a shift to an aggressively globalized supply chain was certain to wreak havoc on Boeing’s quality control. e.g. safety-critical nuts and bolts used to be produced down the street, now you get

Great reception here. Based on your attitude I know I’m safe to note something, something potentially all but irrelevant in the coming years: as soon as I saw the artwork I did a reverse image search and concluded it was likely generated. I

Uncomfortable with K1LLJ3W & don’t (deeply) need to see GOATSE in the neighbor’s driveway every morning. Driving’s a privilege they tell us, makes sense they’d restrict plates based on sensibilities of the average taxpayer. Meanwhile of

This makes me angry, so can anyone think of a legitimate steelman of their position? Expect my view is consistent with reality, though: they’re chasing profits and getting away with it, so why go on the record and look bad if they can ignor

If any party receiving an iMessage uses iCloud backup, it should be available to the US govt one way or another. Am I correct that parties who don’t use backup are indeed messaging “entirely” privately, barring Harvest Now, Decrypt Later?

raf: from grins to smirks, thank you for repeatedly putting the smiles on my face. You know me so well considering we’ve never met. Ever so salient; thanks for (hopefully) course correcting any of my remaining years :)

I was surprised to see a ~2020 photo of a security flyer: “HVL Do Not Stop List” (High Value Load) Thus I learned some truck stops in Texas, California, and elsewhere are too dangerous for “L Brands” (Bath & Body Works?) truckers to pat
