It's just so much better than anything else even despite it all. Which, honestly, is perplexing. It doesn't seem like it would take much capital to replicate Reddit pre-enshittification, but nobody seems to even be trying. I guess

This is an important insight. It's easy to obsess over the idea of any data loss, because the value of some data is quite high. But for most people in most circumstances losing their cloud hosted photos is probably not a big deal,

Does it though? The congestion is a "tragedy of the commons" problem. Being stuck in traffic sucks for everybody regardless of income. If rich people pay enough to keep driving on the roads frequently, funds (and maybe even space

I think the challenges with mushrooms as "whole foods" are similar to that of greens (also "good source of protein"). Challenge one: you need a truly huge volume of the uncooked stuff to get a meaningful amount of protei

Although I think you're exactly right, the irony is that they'll never actually be able to determine why somebody doesn't install an app due to this kind of junk. It's not like they can a/b test "bloated app&

If you can be so abusive to your customers and provide such a terrible experience and people still line up to do business with you it's a sure sign that you're basically a monopoly. If you have no serious competition you have no

I have a lot of trouble understanding the benefits of this versus just working with json with a programming language. It seems like you're adding another layer of abstraction versus just dealing with a normal hashmap-like data structur

Google calls this feature "quick share." Of course the problem is that it's all proprietary and Apple has no interest in supporting transfers with non Apple devices. It's pretty typical on HN to see somebody singing the

This has always been my approach really. Use curl for basic stuff, use a full featured repl for deeper exploration. I use Ruby but same idea. I never quite saw enough value in tools like postman. Usually either what you are doing is trivial

Nebula, originally from Slack [0]. Wireguard rightly gets a lot of attention, but Nebula is a really simple and easy to deploy overlay network that is often overlooked. It does lack a management GUI and that stuff is very much DIY. [0] htt

If the situation were reversed, and the default were clean and the adware was buried under "check below for more options," nobody would do it. The entire point here is to trick or confuse people who aren't paying attention. I

I don't use Twitter/X directly but I still follow some people (who exclusively post on that site) indirectly via Nitter. It's absolutely awful. I've seen spam replies that are actively pornography, presumably onlyfans sp

This is an early product, and monkeying with the system prompts to try and prevent some classes of offensive results is sure to have the kind of unintended consequences seen with Gemini's image generation. You can learn a lot about peo

I've used Gemini and find it no worse than ChatGPT for the kind of questions I ask of it.

Yeah this depends a lot on the store. I know trader Joe's employees can pick the music, but they have a reputation as being employee friendly. When I worked at a low end grocery store we had no say at all and just got whatever they sen

This isn't actually about filesystem permissions. ADB is a debugging tool that seems to have been used by certain applications. It shouldn't be required for any normal app functionality including storage access. That said this is

Agree, the first few years it was really impressive, with a lot of high quality stuff coming out. At the time I had the sense that they were burning money on very high quality (read: expensive) reporting in an effort to build up the brand,

I think it's pretty clear that they're trying to prevent one class of issues (the model spitting out racist stuff in one context) and have introduced another (the model spitting out wildly inaccurate portrayals of people in histor

Just because it's obvious to us doesn't mean it's obvious to everybody. The alarmist headline is warranted, and the fact that it's common doesn't make it acceptable. I welcome more awareness of this kind of lopsided

I mean, watching from the outside, it's hard to guess why OpenAI would be so valuable. They were the first to market with their LLM chatbot, but zooming out that forced Google's hand in releasing their own, and there aren't a

Eye stain has been a huge issue for me with earlier VR goggles. Some people seem to be suggesting the higher quality of the Vision Pro overcomes this, but I'm starting to really wonder. Would even more resolution actually solve it? Or

Maybe... for the stuff that is actually made of aluminum. But I have a plastic VR headset and I'm pretty sure an impact bad enough to damage the plastic care is also bad enough to damage the electronics, which are going to be way more

OP would rule this out because of the third party cloud service thing, but I use signal in the same way. It feels quite ridiculous but it works. The best option I can think of is syncthing, but the ux for non technical users isn't grea

Yeah this is insane. I pay for Mozilla VPN now and considered paying for Privacy Guard. I guess they just don't want our money.
