I’ve made my own personal vote against this behaviour by no longer patronizing businesses that do this. The only way (short of legislation) for consumers to change tipping is for businesses to be aware that having pinpads with options like

I scrolled through and didn't see anywhere that they defined what "complete" meant. It could be as simple as Canada counts a skyscraper as completed when the first residents move in versus perhaps America counts it as comple

Very cool. Effectively, ChatGPT is using tools now. I wonder how much longer before it evolves opposable thumbs :)

The reality is that everyone alive is susceptible to these scams. No human is impervious to being victimized by these groups. They will pay good money for information to target people. Originally, some scammers would aim for early mornin

This extortion is so common that it has an entire subreddit devoted to it (/r/sextortion) and it's often busier than the /r/scams subreddit.

Wow, there are so many of these spreadsheet wrapper around data products now. It feels like a new one shows up on HN every day. Just yesterday https://mathesar.org was on here and there's been at least another dozen or so

Fundamentally, similar to freelancing sites that learned their customers were really the businesses paying for work... airbnb has learned its customers are the businesses renting out rooms. There's an unlimited supply of people seekin

Paypal stranded me in Atlanta when I rented a room for a week and they denied the charge. So I called their customer service and got the worst customer service experience of my life. The rep would talk over me, literally speak gibberish,

Bots have been improving a lot in recent years. It may be that the future is not multiplayer but single player with excellent bots... maybe Sliders got the end times wrong :)

One must only take a glance at the ownership breakdown of any major story on Ground News and it will be rather clear they may be onto something. 3 or 4 conglomerates are often 85%+ of the news sources.

There’s a lot of bad networks out there. I won a number of Fortnite battle royals testing this and it was rock solid 120 fps, barely any detectable latency at the 10 ms ping I was getting. The lack of noise actually made me prefer it over

If you’re just scrolling the comments, I recommend checking this out. It’s a lot funnier than I expected :) GPT does a great job of making it marginally believable while completely unpossible. Love it!

Reading this really points out to me how killer of a deal that GeforceNow is. I truly don't understand why more publishers don't allow their games on the platform.

oh it was with buildx (which uses qemu) as GitHub Actions run in x64. I was showing a specific example of arm64 build tooling challenges small startups encounter (Github Actions lack of arm job runners in this case). My arm64 builds on ar

by arecurrence 4y ago
Completely agree... the only exception I've run into is that for small operations build tooling often doesn't work well with arm64. EG: GitHub actions can build a container in a few minutes in x64 or 35 minutes in arm64... likewis

Do you use VSCode? Add the tailwind autocomplete plugin. It's intellisence for your tailwind config. Huge productivity boon when learning tailwind.

This is not as rare as public clouds may lead people to believe. I have had to move workloads around since AWS began (even between public clouds on occasion). In particular, GPU availability has been a continuing problem. Unlike interchan

This comment doesn't make sense to me. Epic broke one of the major tenets of their contract with Apple. Apple faced losing a significant revenue stream if Epic's efforts were allowed to continue. In particular, since they inten

I'm surprised Ambrosia scored so poorly. Ambrosia was a taste explosion and remains a fond memory even now years later. Perhaps it has a narrow optimal for eating period. Honey Crisp is similar and generally my consolation buy as it&

There's so much production code in C++ that it will have a long tail like Fortran even if people were to stop launching new products with it.

You're totally right, some of the articles I looked at focused on tangential causes... whereas analysis of moves compared to decisions by a vastly superior system has got to be the smoking gun. I suppose new algorithms will be designed

Why don't cheaters just use two machines or even just their phone and a laptop? The evidence is often around other processes or browser tabs running on their device (and in this case also focus loss) but an immediate thought must be t

Indeed as VOIP numbers are banned. However, I know a number of people that aren't using DALL-E because they only have VOIP numbers (This is an ever growing reality today). They got to the phone step and were unable to continue (and s

This adds less than you'd think since people are already tracked by their cellular location. Some off-shoot use cases for this are determining where someone travels and when along with who they interact with by looking at adjacent cel
