I used the HN |Past| feature to go back 15 years. https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2011-06-08 There are three articles about Steve Jobs. To me LLM's are a more intellectually interesting cargo-cult than that cult

[this is probably not the answer you want to read] Because Ticketmaster has been a force in the market for decades (at least since the 1980’s), the simplest market based explanation is that using Ticketmaster is often obviously the economic

Not clear what you are asking, but at the international level Azteca is notoriously advantageous…of course top European sides never visit so there’s no general empirical data. And you won’t get much more from the world cup because the only

Cricket also does not require a lot of running and because the defense controls the ball, it fills a lot of time at a slow pace. Like Baseball, a Sunday afternoon game has a low risk of an injury that prevents work on Monday.

The Mexican Primera favors a unique type of athlete…players who can regularly play at 10,000 feet (3000m) because many matches are played in and around Mexico City. And other clubs are also above 5000 feet. Add in daytime heat, night cold,

[random comment on the internet] Some content on the subject of AI is deeply technical, just as is some content on the subject of blockchain, lisp, retro-computing, etc. But most of what is written about most things (including C, reverse en

That’s what I am getting at. Wayland’s “betterness” all requires technical arguments and none of Wayland’s “betterness” is apparent on the screen. Even worse Wayland’s “betterness” is only better if breaking user systems is ok. It’s develop

Then again, it's FOSS, so expectations need to match that. Yep. I just spent a couple of hours trying to get image thumbnails back in Ubuntu. Because you know, I use that Ubuntu machine for ordinary desktop tasks that involve images.

JS Bach did not use a piano either. Because so much of music was written around the organ (e.g. vocal music sung in tune with a church organ) tuning was what it was. The well tempered clavier is exceptional because it is an exception to t

To me, the more amazing thing is that the product is Windows Server 2016 and the bug is because Microsoft is still supporting it nearlyrly 10 years later.
