Yes, and BMX's were quite a hot & recent thing at that point as well.

Flip it around, why would you go to the trouble of creating a web page and content for it, if some AI bot is going to scrape it and save people the trouble of visiting your site? The value of your work has been captured by some AI company (

It's not as straightforward as that. It's more like scammers getting other people to buy gift cards which are redeemed in steam and other games then the value getting moved around as in-game currency between game accounts (game-bu

The discussion seems to be mostly about the moral issues, but it seems likely that the titles being a 'magnet for scams and chargebacks' is more likely the cause.

If you wanted to be generous you could say it the other way around, moving some features to premium allows people who value time and money differently to still get the bulk of the value they want out of the proposition. I don't for one

This anecdote is interesting, but the article cites poor storage and counterfeiting as the main causes of the issue.

ewww how cheesy is that.

Yeah it was an Easter egg style thing, similar to when the change the Google logo for special occasions. Not comparable to a push add for a movie (which I also haven't seen a screenshot of yet to be fair)

That's interesting thankyou. It's a good google rabbit hole. Apparently we're in surge pricing right now because of Ukraine, and Russian shells are only costing them $1000. It seems they caught us sleeping, manufacturing wise

by Neil44 1y ago
This is true, but the author also talks about cost e.g. $500 for a drone vs $100 for an artillery shell with far more effect. Surely at the point where the drone has visual on the target you can fire 5 x shells over for massively greater ef

This feud is just a pantomime for the crowd in my opinion. There's a bigger play here.

The ultimate irony being that they actually do measure all kinds of things against datum points as the cars move down the line as the earlier you junk a faulty build the less it's cost you.

by Neil44 1y ago
That seems an extremely cynical take to me, I don't think that's true at all. It divides people into monoliths and makes assumptions then uses those assumptions to restrict and hold back.

by Neil44 1y ago
Yes I do assume that... I've worked in IT for a long time. That phrase in a ticket would be an immediate eye roll from me. A lot of the quotes in the article trigger my eye roll reflex actually. But there is some stuff in there that wa

Removing admin from people who don't need it is 100% the correct thing to do according to any IT guidelines you could quote. And of course, every single user will whine that they're special and really really need it. With regards

I've got claude bot blocked too. It regularly took sites offline and ignored robots.txt. Claude bot is an asshole.

I think the latency reduced was the 12 seconds to start playing the video via the ai agent. However I was also expecting some mad kernel microsecond based stuff also.

I had an E30 that I customised quite heavily. 24v engine, LSD, suspension work. I drove it to the Nurburgring. Good times. I also had 2 x E34's (1 V8 1 diesel) and an E46. The E46 I took to 230k miles. I have an F45 PHEV now, the fami

I guess the point is that just having one of these will now be a complete crime and you don't need to catch someone in the a act to prosecute.

I don't understand why modern day Germans would have to apologise for the holocaust either, maybe I'm out of touch. I also don't know why HN keeps these Elon posts up because they're always a shit-show of reddit-ness and

I would encourage you to watch the whole video of the incident, with sound, and then put your hand on your heart and honestly say you think that was a sieg heil. (but don't throw it to the crowd after)

Yes - Tesla seem to make very big changes under the hood that aren't obvious from outside so you don't realise they're actually refreshing the models. For example at a refresh of the Y they changed it so that the whole floor

They made their own modem, the right move but still brave, I bet there are a lot of 'Chestertons Fences' in those.

I would get these from the library one after the other, I had to use pencil in the character sheet so I could rub everything out before I returned it. I remember keeping bookmark-fingers in as many pages as I could in case I had taken a wro
