That would never have worked if people weren't already fed up to here with Flash. It was bloated, buggy, slow, and by far the single biggest vector for malware. Like, by orders of magnitude. Not to mention being a proprietary black b

The problem is that this is just another instance of trusting that "the market will solve all our problems." But that's based on "spherical economy in a frictionless vacuum" type assumptions. In the real world, in a

If you paid attention to his actions while in office, rather than a selection of his words while on the campaign trail, it was pretty clear he wasn't in the least bit interested in being a "peace president;" he just wanted th

But how do you start a proletarian revolution? It's all well and good to say "this collective action would change the bad status quo", but even if you're 100% correct, unless you can point to ways to work toward said

Sadly, I fear that even if we were to do something like that, any time a company is sued for infringement they'd find a way to ensure that the entity being sued just doesn't have any assets, sorry, you'll just have to be cont

I suppose that's one read of themafia's comment. My read of it was "this is why humans are fundamentally different from LLMs", not "this is how you fix LLMs to be like humans". It's still hard to see how

If there's an actual neurological attention window that you're referring to, that's as ephemeral as you say, it is not analogous to the context window of an LLM. When I'm working on a problem, I can explicitly apply kn

The point isn't that it is happening. It's that enough execs think it can happen. No actual evidence is required for that.

While it's true that HN, as a collective, was participating in that hype, you need to be very careful about trying to extend that to mean that every poster on HN is complicit in it. Many of us were skeptical from the start, and have

As akerl_ says, it's not telling you to assume anything. It's talking about behavior , not thoughts. You can be thinking they're the most ignorant fool on the planet, or you can be thinking that a minute ago you believed t

I mean, this is a very good philosophy to have. The trouble is, the people who are most vocal about "no poors allowed" emphatically do not subscribe to it, and the people who are most likely to have power over these things do no

The AirPods Pro do come with buds in a few different sizes—have you had the opportunity to try both the small and the large types? I've also heard that the most recent AirPods Pro fit much better for people who have had problems in the

You should look into notch therapy apps—I have some very mild tinnitus that flared up into moderate tinnitus for a couple of months last year, so I was looking for options and found that there were some that looked promising.

Ah, yes, that mythical "cost to actually build." As in, the cost to build things in ways that completely ignore regulations. Regulations about building materials that won't collapse, and won't catch fire, and won't

Diiid you read what they said about Australia? > the number of dwellings increased by 19% while the population increased by a smaller 16% That is the opposite of demand outrunning supply.

I think that all of us have spent too long living in a time of rising inequality. When you know that things are expensive compared to salaries, and that this is gradually getting worse, it's absolutely a natural and expected (though no

I don't think you're wrong; however, multiple things can be true at the same time. In this case, housing prices are ridiculously high, and wages are ridiculously low, if you compare both to the overall cost of living excluding h

For many of them, the quarterly results are the product. Thanks to Milton Friedman, far too much of the manager class now believe that the end goal of their job is to make shareholders rich, and the fact that they have to do that by makin

I'm not sure you can draw a conclusion like that, especially given that roughly half that time has been under the Trump administration, which really doesn't care about regulations on what it does. If the policy is about what to do

Well, exactly. Just like Apple is declining to bring "Siri AI" to the EU because of this. Interoperability rules make sense and benefit consumers when applied to many things. This isn't one of them, and the EC would do well t
