I can see how all of this is about leftists on HN, well done.

So will we get drones coated in mirrors and temperature sensors that automatically move them away from these weapons quickly? Or is the laser just too powerful?

Traditionally WINE uses QEMU on Apple Silicon to execute x86 binaries on an ARM CPU, so while I’m aware WINE Is No an Emulator there’s likely emulation happening in a lot of cases.

by andy_ppp 10mo ago
Honestly, it’s probably faster and less resource intensive through emulation than your average Electron app :-/

Definitely nobody in this thread struggling to see the grey areas and wanting to make sure everything is very cleanly defined, as if it’s difficult for them to deal with situations that are outside of rigorously defined clinical diagnosti

Are you really saying most people can’t discern autistic spectrum behaviour in their peers?
277.
by andy_ppp 10mo ago
Perhaps your thinking on this lacks grey areas. A healthy percentage of extremely successful people in computing are referred to as “on the spectrum” - are these people helped by having some of the aspects of autism or hindered by it? Why d

Someone has to support consciousness and reality I guess, thanks to the elves I say…

So you might need some NAD+ precursor like NMN and this compound for it to work in humans because by the time you’re old it’s much harder for your body to make. Was the experiment done in older mice or younger ones that have NAD+ but artifi

Happy Christmas everyone, I’m at 29000 feet on a flight to Hong Kong after a mini version of planes, trains and automobiles and including cancelled planes and taxis to different airports. I’m struck by honestly what a miracle it is that we

This is completely wrong, everyone knows you should rewrite everything in microservices immediately :-D

This is about the astonishing lack of ability in the political class in the UK. The security services are honestly wagging the dog and they think they can force some kind of key escrow eventually, but instead they’ll just destroy software d

I’d love to know more about what running a site like HN involves, would be great to get a write up of what it’s like running something like this at this scale (and what kind of traffic you guys get)!

He did work in Britain for decades, if I was him I’d just completely own it and say something like “if this is the weak stuff they are trying to get me on I must be doing a great job with things that actually matter. Everyone, especially th

On sentencing, Judge Menary KC told Barton: "Robust debate, satire, mockery and even crude language may fall within permissible free speech. "But when posts deliberately target individuals with vilifying comparisons to serial kill

So what would you like to say specifically that would be stopped by these laws?

by andy_ppp 10mo ago
None of these laws limit your freedom of speech do they - you can perfectly well say you think that a TV presenter is incompetent without being arrested - it's the abuse that is the problem here. If your style of communication involves

Haha - you aren't even allowed to say what you think about the US government on social media and then travel to the US despite what the constitution says. Donald Trump has also made flag burning a crime. So it's not as if the US i

You can say pretty much anything so long as you don’t insight violence or religious hatred. Nobody is allowed to shout fire in crowded theatre. Nobody has been convicted for saying something rude. With relation to the article + Grand parent

So do you think citizens of the UK should be held accountable somehow? I honestly don’t think the UK has done much to harm other countries since the Iraq War which obviously made everything worse.
291.
by andy_ppp 10mo ago
What on earth are you talking about? The UK has just done whatever the US wanted for about 40 years or more. If you’re saying historically as an imperial power we’ve done terrible stuff we can all agree with that!

by andy_ppp 10mo ago
Sigh, you know the UKs laws are much more complicated than right wing media in the US will explain to you.

Are you saying a monolith cannot use a distributed database?

by andy_ppp 10mo ago
I like this thoughtful and nuanced response, I think you could be right. Makes me wonder if choosing an extremely boring niche and just making several million dollars could be a good move right now.

You honestly don’t need extra CPUs in this system at some point do you?

Are you sure this is available in the UK or US? I’m pretty sure all the legal agreements you sign when joining say the decisions of Amazon or YouTube or Facebook are final so are these Terms illegal?
