Halving the emissions of the wealthiest 1% would have the same effect as eliminating the emissions from the poorest 50% of the population[1]. It's not a population problem. It's a consumption problem. The number of people consumin

Is there a reason not to use Supabase Auth if you use Supabase anyway?

For all I care, they lost that claim with [Deleted video] - and by that I don't mean that they remove videos, for which there are countless valid reasons, but that there is no way to see what it was you liked, and that the lists you cu

I believe that would just be fighting losing battles on a front that doesn't matter. Content mills existed long before AI. Clickbait existed long before AI. Fake news and misinformation existed long before AI. AI will empower things li

I like that it has a curious and inquisitive tone. It seems limited in its reasoning right now, but it is pleasant to chat with.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't, and having dead content enabled, I've seen some weirdly incendiary responses to pretty harmless comments recently. It's weird. I wouldn't be surprised if the HN team is already doing a

I have the /e/OS Fairphone 4 and the battery life is pretty good. To be fair, I've only owned the smaller versions (Galaxy Mini) and non-flagship phones before, so this one is quite a bit bulkier in comparison. With my low us

Nothing wrong with Apple building in-house solutions or integrating things into the OS. Problems start when a trillion dollar corporation uses their platform to strong-arm smaller development studios or individuals, shuts down their revenue

I recall there being a thing about a drum machine app, as well, and iirc F.lux had faced anti competitive behavior as well.

If I just wanted results, I'm sure I could have. I just thought it was interesting to see if this more abstract description would map to results that would be considered impressionism.

A few years ago the general opinion was still that artists were going to be safe from being replaced by AI for the longest time compared to other jobs. Today I think it is valid to say that artists were among the first people to get a direc

To be fair, they have done a good job with that motto for a long time. I've been with them for 10 years and have recommended and praised them for being "no bullshit" on a few occasions, both here on HN and on reddit. It sucks

The email provider that account was tied to doesn't exist anymore, and the domain is taken. I didn't notice until after it happened, so I am not putting all the blame on reddit. It's more of a string of unlucky circumstances.

The last time I tried to change the password of a reddit account I lost access to it. I attempted to change the password, got an error saying something went wrong. I figured I'd try again later. so I also didn't save the newly gen

To extend on this, I wouldn't use clear text for this. Create a HMAC of the IP and add it somewhere in the page, makes it harder to realize what's happening and for the adversary to work around it.

Even if ChatGPT relieves you of the question how you're going to say something, it still requires you to know what to say, and when. It can't tell you what you need if you don't know to ask for it. The how that ChatGPT can

The good thing is, there is a bit of a resurgence of the solopreneur spirit.

I was referring to my own interests - as the one who would be losing his privacy - not the consequences for society. I made that very clear in the first sentence of my OG comment. There are no advantages to me losing my privacy. That is, me
