I think everyone should do a re-test every 10 years then maybe 5 years after 70.

Billing per used or not idle cpu cycle would be quite interesting. Number of cores would just effectively be your cost cap. Efficiency would be even more important. And if the provider over subscribes cores you just pay less. Actually that&

curl -u just requires the field to be there, I suspect. No authentication takes place. You can send any password and the output doesn't change.

I think the curl -u switch just requires the password field to be filled, there obviously isn't a legit user account test@example.com with a password of password either at microsoft or at the Japanese imap server.

Topics near current political issues are always a dumpster fire. If you really must comment just assume you're going to be downvoted and strawmanned so you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your journey and have a nice day you

How would banning AI in the UK help there either?

by Neil44 9mo ago
The obvious issue is that there's potential for any of the AI models to be tricked into producing dodgy content, so if you ban Grok for this you're then obligated to act against the rest too. I'm 100% sure I'm not the fi

I switched my main everyday machine to Ubuntu last May, no regrets, it's a superior experience day to day.

It's not immediately clear to me why a news piece on a Salvadoran prison is relevant on HN, I guess that's why the flagging.

Not being battered by upsells nobody asked for every time you turn the laptop on is so refreshing.

Things like this are useful when for example you want to charge a fleet of electric busses overnight.

I think they were behaving wrongly yes because the one constant in life is change whatever you do and whatever species you are. Adapt or die surely? The universe isn't a museum.

Samsung makes fast expensive storage but even cheap storage can max out SATA, hence there's no point Samsung trying to compete in the dwindling SATA space.

My partner is / was a copywriter. She was already a bit fatigued by it even before the whole AI thing. She's still finding bits of work but is pivoting into AI herself now. I think of it like all the other jobs from yesteryear tha

I messed around with our website trying url encoded hyperlinks etc but it was all escaped pretty well. I bet there's a lot of tricks out there for those with time on their hands. Why anyone would bother creating content when Google AI

Interesting - surely you'd have to trick Google into visiting the /search? url in order to get it indexed? I wonder if them listing all these URLs somewhere are requesting that page be crawled is enough. Since these are very low q

I found your reply unnecessarily snarky. The possibility I'l pondering would be to have a facility in deep ocean, far away from any countries coastline, but near shipping lanes.

I often find myself in the bizarre situation of backing out of a suppliers website to google their contact number. A bit like when you want pricing on something without falling into a sales funnel.

Since there is a lot of space out there in the ocean I wonder if some kind of big floating energy station could be a thing, using middle of the ocean wind, tidal or solar. I guess you don't have to pay anyone for the space or worry abo

I have a BMW PHEV. There's a 3 cyl turbo engine with an auto box at the front and a 90hp electric motor and 7.6kwh battery at the back. Most of the new ones just have a more traditional layout with an electric motor built into the auto

I remember the one where you got physically bigger every time you killed someone, until you couldn't fit through doorways etc. And smaller and smaller every time you died. It was pretty hilarious.

It's a shame there isn't something like Lineage OS for Apple mobile devices.

That's a great explanation thanks. There are many types of customers around and not many spend like that. They're treating it as an investment in a very direct way I guess.

Cool so the value you provide is much of the benefit of CF but without messing with nameservers etc. (scary). If you don't understand all the techie bits you're going to read 'CDN plugin' and be filed in that basket so I

Nobody's forcing anyone to live in a city, they want to because the jobs and culture and opportunities are there. And companies want to be there because that's where the workers are. It's a feedback loop, I guess cost is the
