Exactly this. And whats more, the idea of device attestation makes people trust those devices, and the history of rooting consoles and phones proves that nothing holds, even tech backed by billions in commercial interest. The whole point in

Fingers crossed for the judiciary - if the implementers ignore the intention of the law, then lawyers will have to help them understand the limits of corner cutting - and block this.

Step by step. We realize we will not get there in one day. Its the same as with bicycle paths. Initially - those make no sense, leading from nowhere to nowhere. Give it a few years, and a usable network emerges. Right now there is serious m

If this was a gym subscription, it would be an equivalent of some people going to the gym, and some people sending their android to the gym every day, for the whole day, and using as much equipment as the gym policy allows.

Dunno, maybe there is a bug. I was both a subscriber, and had the extra usage enabled, and paid for extra usage before, and didn't get the extra credits. I am on the max plan, so was rather looking forward to the extra $100 to burn on

I was wondering about this for a while now. My main home office has 5 monitors, and i still have to swipe between desktops regularly. I used to have 6, but two ultrawides stacked one above the other was a bit painful and I developed a back

Easy. That is the only social media site that is so comically bad, that it does not trigger me in any way with the feed. I am using it as a way to reach out to colleagues from the past - a bit like facebook circa 10 years ago. I can't

I am old enough to remember the outages of aws, gcp and azure which predate the gen ai thing. And of course the countless, endless, hopeless procession of bugs in just about anything else. I am running it in a large mid cap company (~25bn r

It's a leadership failure. They obviously have a UI/UX dept. Those people want to be considered productive. Hence, they need to force a major redesign every now and then. Without a Steve Jobs like leader, those things will happen

And the 2nd level consequence of that levelling the playing field would be more competition, and fewer huge, powerful gambling companies. Fewer, huge companies have the money and skills to buy politicians (exhibit one: "prediction mark

This. And same for phones, tvs, operating systems. I bought a perfectly fine macbook pro m1 in 2020. It has been made far, far worse, slower, bloated and less responsive by apple. I see nothing improved, everything significantly degraded. I

I look at people who use fb or tiktok, or x, the same way I look at smokers or alcoholics. With sadness and pity. The fact that we let children use this is hard to accept. The fact that fellow hackers and engineers, some of the brightest mi

The interesting part about vibe coding is the spectrum of experiences and attitudes. I have been playing with it for 2-3hrs a day for the last 4 months now. None of my friends who are using it are using it in the same way. Some people vibe

Fair point. I read your comment as '$200 is a lot, they shouldnt ask for more'. My bad!

by aenis 7mo ago
I find it hard to understand that people consider $200 p/m a lot for what they are getting. Expensive compared to what? A netflix sub? A 1hr of a senior dev is at least $100, depending where one lives. Since Claude saves me hours every

Same. First time in 2 months that I found it easier to fix the bugs it created manually, rather than get it to fix. Its google-code-CLI-on-gemini-2.5 level bad for me today. Meaning, almost comically bad.

Sample of one and all that, but it's way, way more sloppy than it used to be for me. To the extent, that I have started making manual fixes in the code - I haven't had to stoop to this in 2 months. Max subscription, 100k LOC codeb

When I was 6, I got a Commodore PLUS/4, which was Commodore's unsuccessful attempt at a business-oriented 8 bit computer. I think my folks wanted to give me a Commodore 64, but things happen. Since there were not nearly as many ga

TBH, they are all rather useless at those sizes. I used to run a lot of local models on my mbp - mainly stt, tts, embeddings and diffusion models - and small LLMs used for utility purposes - but stopped. It saves time in the long run to run

This. I think I have upwards of 20 chargers I don't use that came with various laptops and other devices. And I don't use any of the OEM chargers, they are too bulky. Pure waste.

I know, I've been to many places, and met lots of fantastic, friendly people. But the attitude towards police - the dead seriousness of any and all interactions - no wrong moves, or else - is frankly frightening.

And in related news, major European democracies are spending real money architecting sovereign cloud tech - planning on replacing not just the infra, but also the key parts of commonly used SaaS stacks. (How do I know? I got a job offer fro

America is an authoritarian country for decades now. It first dawned on me when i visited NYC some 30 years ago. I stepped over some arbitrary yellow line I wasn't supposed to - the uniformed cop that noticed that went from 0 to 100 in

And because of how broadly and frequently people use Discord, it will be super useful when correlating with other data feeds. That might be even more valuable than the discord activity itself.

Huh? Just roll your own, thats hacker news after all. Frigrate nvr + cameras that are confined to internal network. Easy peasy. And you get to set it up exactly as you want. p.s. i am not saying going with apple is a bad idea (i dont have

I am not sure its super toxic. Does anyone take this stuff seriously? Its a bunch of people virtue signalling, writing cringeworthy pieces on their ground breaking ideas on leveraging AI, stuff like this can't possibly be read by anyon

And at the same time, its arguably the least toxic of all social networks. Yes, cringeworthy but at least not addictive! Its like facebook all those years ago, i can IM friends from highschool without having to pay any attention to the feed
