It's significantly more difficult to get a working DC-DC setup up and running that's actually reliable and safe. The power supplies on these devices expect 220V AC so it's easier to just feed that in, and rely on the onboard

Every time someone complains about some rough edge or papercut on MacOS, someone always chimes in woth "there's this app that fixes it for $10". I find it astounding that this has somehow been normalized.

The winner will be the one that announces "we have AGI" based on their own definition, and the rest of the world actually agrees with them. The upside of being right is massive, but the downside of prematurely announcing AGI only

Honest no-snark question, coming from someone who does not know a lot about VPNs other than the wireguard app I have for work. What's the difference between this, and just configuring the VPN settings that's available on my router

It's a fairly common notion to "sweat out" a flu. Stay in bed, wrap yourself up in lots of blankets and just sweat the damn thing out. High body heat kills the virus. So it would make sense that drugs like tylenol/parace

When looking at this history here on HN, he started out in the poker world. I'm not sure if he played, but he wrote a poker engine or something. In my experience, the venn diagram for professional poker players, crypto enthusiasts and

I agree. On all the implementations of Mixpanel that I've been involved in, I've made it a point to not send any PII to Mixpanel. It's not needed for Mixpanel analytics to work, Mixpanel is not a CRM, it does not need custo

In South Africa there are no juries, and the democracy is deemed fairly good, albeit rotten with corruption (but that's another story). The judiciary is fairly independent so far, and criminal cases are solely tried by a professional j

There are functioning democracies out there without jury trials. I would not say it's "critical to a free and fair nation'.

This is how it works on the Gautrain in Pretoria/Johannesburg in South Africa. You scan when you enter the system, and you scan when you exit. Your fare is calculated based on where you enter and exit. If you stay in the system longer

Irish Rail wants to charge me €15-€20 for a single trip from Wexford to Dublin, a 150km trip that would cost roughly €5 when taking my EV and can be an hour quicker with nice traffic. Buses aren't much better. Sure, parking and wear&#x

You don't need AGI for this circle of life to be apparent. 1. AI company wraps GPT/Claude/etc and delivers a novel use case. 2. OpenAI/Anthropic/etc creates a similar product in house and ships it as a feature. It i

I find some special amount of pleasure knowing that all the old school sci-fi where the protagonist defeats the big bad supercomputer with some logical/semantic tripwire using clever words is actually a reality! I look forward to defea

Nope, a creator that starts making shorts at the expense of normal videos can fuck right off. They are clearly optimising their content for non-subscribers caught in the skinner box loop that is a shorts scroll session. They do not care abo

But it literally is ahead though. How can you say it's not ahead when starlink does not have this capability right now ? Sure, they claim 1Gbps next year, at which point this Chinese demo won't be ahead ahead anymore. How can

I want to commend you for making this actually musical. Too often these basic synths aimed at kids are little more than a noise maker unless you really know what you are doing. My spouse and I are into music and we are pretty serious choris

In addition to the other answer you got. E-bikes are pedal assist, so illegal ones usually have throttles in addition to more powerful motors. This depends on the region though.

Also worth considering that the 3 Laws were never supposed to be this watertight infallible thing. It was created so that the author could explore all sorts of exploits and shenanigans in his works. It's meant to be flawed, even though

I don't think this needs to be a theory. Valve regards Microsoft's flirtations with walled gardens (MS Store) as an existential threat. They see their investment into linux gaming as a hedge against future locked down windows OS,
