On MacOS it is way better than the crippled hacked-together thing that is on iOS. Google was right to move from WebKit to Blink for Chrome. It is far more stable and impressive.

Imagine you’re Black and we’re having this same conversation about systemic racism as if everyone is inherently a racist in society. Anyone who disagrees is called an uncle tom, is that reasonable? Are there people who don’t like Jews? Of c

Yep, I did. My mom taught at a school where during the war Ukrainians would gang up on Russians, both being immigrants. A lot of Russian things were “canceled” to the point that Babylon Bee ran this story: https://babylonbee.com&

There is a similar mentality among humans that many fall into, the “victimhood mentality”. And many Jews themselves also have the same thing. In a conflict, often both sides use the same tactics without realizing it. The way BLM blamed “sys

I truly don’t understand how the world’s most valuable corporations with huge reserves of cash employing tons of developers can exist and NOT make a stable and reliable bug-free product after 30 years. It’s just more bloat and bugs all the

Just recently, US has worked with Saudis and Ukrainians and others to supply heavy and novel weaponry to be deployed in eg Yemen, coordinating airstrikes, giving intel etc. to devastating effect and has done even more direct involvement in

That could be said about compiling higher-level languages instead of rolling your own assembly and garbage collector. It's just working on a higher level. You're a lot more productive with, say, PHP than you are writing assembly.

I totally agree! When I was growing up, I saw plays also use it like this: The two are in a room. -- Some guy says this -- The other guy says that You just don't see em-dashes used like they used to -- and it shows!

Happy holidays. I'm open sourcing all this to the HN community under MIT license :) I worked on all this code personally, using OpenAI's ChatGPT 4 models to refine it and battle-tested it myself on apps used by millions of people.

I never really had this issue because I used Google Suite with a domain. (That’s what it was called back then.) So I can have email aliases under that domain, and even choose the alias for outgoing email. However! This creates an extra secu

Better to have systems in place to stop people stockpiling weapons, than not have it. Just because not all murders can be prevented doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws and systems in place to try to prevent as many as we can. The

I disagree with this person on utilitarian grounds. Nay even grounds of existential risk to humanity. And just like him, when it comes to AI, I am making a huge exception for my usual principles. My usual principles are that open-source gif

This seems to indicate a serious misunderstanding of both bitcoin's economics as well as the feasibility of having an "oversupply of heating". Hundreds of millions to over a billion people globally lack reliable energy for li

Seriously, the only way I would accept Bitcoin mining is as a winter heating source that pays for itself. Why can't people sell those?

The authenticator GUI only shows “sign in to your_domain.com”. It never allows a more general “sign this content for your_domain.com”. E.g. “sign this transaction request to move £50 to Bob's account”. That is why you should ship a p

I meant only for 2. And I don’t care if it’s boring, it has to be available. Crime scene details or forgery details are mundane and boring too, but for the investigators they are essential.

I think that we should have revision control for intermediate stages - for code, documents, even paintings. So we can at least have some idea of provenance, how it's made. Until AI is used to fake that, too.

I find it ironic that individual income tax is a thing in USA, but as soon as AI does the work, oh only the owner has to pay. As a libertarian, I find the whole requirement for workers to secure an accountant and file individual income taxe

Somehow poker is still banned though, thanks to Chuck Schumer from 2006 (he’s still there). “Except in Nebraska!” (Sorry I mean Pokerstars New Jersey.)
