This is such a bad faith argument. Imagine you put up your house as an investment into some crypto exchange and the exchange goes bankrupt because it turns out they're misusing customer funds and defrauding their customers. You'll

I don't see how it's a get rich quick scheme when looking at companies like Immersion, who've been shaking down companies successfully for years. https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/14/meta-settles-l

In Germany, I wouldn't get marked down for using the wrong spelling, because it just didn't matter. Behavior? Behaviour? Who gives a fuck, it's all the same. It's ridiculous that these regional variations are somehow sig

I think their comment is very ungenerous of what this kind of thing provides in being able to engage in a dialogue about a particular thing. It can be insanely difficult to break things down for somebody unfamiliar to a particular topic esp

We don't actually like tech or hacking here. I'm not sure why it's called Hacker News anymore. Feels like this post is right up HN's alley, then I see a comment like theirs. There are so many benefits to AI, that I'

The biggest problem is always just going to be that it breaks any understanding or concept of a type system. When object.doThing().doOtherThing() can fail because the result of doThing() can be null, you suddenly have to fill your entire co

Boston Dynamics' BigDog was funded by DARPA for the military. Was there anybody who actually believed the primary purpose for these things being developed wasn't military? I'm sure we'll find plenty of other uses for the

So because there was a revolution in Ukraine because the then president refused to do the people's will in regards to the EU, Russia is justified in invading a sovereign nation, Ukraine, taking its territory, kidnapping its children a

This is absolutely the case considering their insane lawsuit on Palworld, which is a patent dispute. Nintendo has clearly turned evil and this is only going to cause great harm and strife in the gaming industry long-term if they win. We&#

Marketing and finance. Unfortunately, lasting, reliable and deep economic growth can't exist without an industrial backbone. I don't know where Germany would be without its historically strong focus on exports. We'd be a holl

Well, this isn't going to end well for Iran. I don't understand their end game here. Israel has demonstrated their ability to penetrate Iran's air defenses and target specific high value targets in Iran's government and

This is some crazy amount of misinformation. It really doesn't matter whether you do 5 reps or 20. People obsess too much about the specific number of reps, as if magically you stop benefiting because you did 10 reps instead of 5. It&#

Exactly my point, yeah. The significance of the impact is also debatable and not nearly as much as one might think, especially if you do proper programming. I don't lift weights to compete, I lift to be healthy, strong and generally fi

While I've had many physical hobbies, weight lifting has been the one that has been most beneficial to my health and my overall level of fitness. That said, don't skimp on cardio. If any bro tries to tell you that it'll impac

Agree. It's incredibly frustrating seeing takes on science by engineers on HN. It's as bad as, if not worse than, the takes I see about politics around here. For context, this is what the paper itself says: > In order to experi

It's trivial. You replace a dll and the Steam API check is circumvented.

It's not in what the Arch maintainers said. The improvements are more around improving their build pipeline and allowing things like simultaneous x86 V3 and v4 releases (from the comments I've seen). This isn't about moving a

Books are better in book form for one simple reason: Spatiality and tactility. Skimming, skipping pages, marking and jumping between different parts of the book. These actions are all extremely easy, intuitive and convenient with a paper bo

That article is about RAM latency in isolation. See this Anandtech article that shows similar numbers to chips and cheese when evaluating a CPU's DRAM latency (further down on the page): https://www.anandtech.com/show&#

Love these things. I still remember the first time I saw some at a stand at a festival here in Germany. Me and my friend each bought one, then bought a few more because they were so freaking good. Still have pictures of our first bite. It w

US shipyards and military production are extremely low on any number of metrics. It's unclear even now whether the US has enough stockpiles and enough production of modern munitions to maintain an active war against a peer adversary li

Also, shipyards that recently built one are more likely to get contracts to build more. Because other countries will be facing the same question.

Why the BBC? It should go to archives like archive.org and publicly accessible "pirate" archives, so corporations like the BBC can't stick it in a vault and bury it.

Yeah, my 30TB of digital media fits in a shoebox and even doubling that would still fit in the same shoebox. It's also not something that takes up a lot of time unless you let it take over your life. Maybe a few hours a week of gatheri

That's just not feasible and you know it. That just means companies like Google and OpenAI (with billions of dollars from companies like MS and Apple) will monopolize AI. This isn't better for everybody else. It just means we&#x27
