That's not what the quote is referring to directly (the title is a bit misleading): "In fact, when it is eventually declassified, the American people will be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this au

How so? Hearing from someone who has worked in this environment would be enlightening.

I'm very, very concerned for the astronauts piloting this upcoming trans-lunar flight. Given that Boeing, well, does Boeing things, the current state of NASA in this political climate, and the fact that problems keep arising with this

It makes it much more fun to imagine a room full of robots in overcoats trying to pass off as human, but doing a terrible job due to the audible "clanks" betraying them from beneath the coat. Spaces like HN then become a cacophony

I would like to formally petition that the tech world at large replace "em-dash" with "clank" in all correspondence

I particularly loved this one. I interpreted it as a man indulging in one last ephemeral vanity. A literal last fart in the whirlwind of life used as a metaphor to illustrate how useless mankind's boasts are next to the inevitability a

Not certainly. A LARGE number of fungi grow just fine without manure. I think this is a common misconception since agaricus bisporus (portobello, bella, white, cremini, button) need it to grow well, and it is the most commonly human-grown f

And if I choose to drink a Coke, then so be it. I'm not forced to, and I'm aware of the fact that I am consenting to whatever ill effects I might get by purchasing and consuming it. These pixels are a horse of a different color. T

The sad thing is that I think many people will en masse pony up their ID or snapshot without a second thought. I'm not sure if enough people will refuse to actually force Discord to back off this decision (unless their idea is to grab

Oh nice. I'd have loved to have had this a few months ago. It's not overly easy to find VST plugins for Linux, and I've missed that since moving from Windows last year.

Hmm, not sure why I can't access it then. Anyone else unable to reach it?

I've never heard this called all-22, and I've been around a lot of football. I played from middle to high school, and my dad has filmed all but 1 high school game for the same school for 37 years. I've exclusively heard this

Yours was not the source comment I was referring to.

by Rooster61 9mo ago
I think it's clear the source comment was referencing end users. It's patently obvious at this point that a large number of people who directly use Windows are frustrated with it, and perceive it to be degrading rather than impr

This looks like a lot of fun. Is there a way to use text rather than speech for input? I'm not particularly fond of my voice getting sent to an LLM.
84.
by Rooster61 9mo ago
The question that I haven't seen answered yet is whether or not we will reach a sort of "peak vibe coding" phase. What I mean by that is, right now, LLM's are somewhat decent at writing workable code. That code, however,

I happened to take a look at your HN profile and realized you don't post much, which leads me to believe this is REALLY bothering you. I can relate. My grandfather, who had been a math teacher and actually got me into computing way bac

Hmm, how do you figure? Just about every source I can find shows slow burning carbs, fiber, and protein rich foods blow fatty foods out of water in terms of satiety. (if you are using a metric other than satiety to represent "fills you
