So this depends on your definition of "working for": Are you working for the CEO or for the owner of the company?

I haven't watched the video and was very happy to have a summary. What makes you question it was written by an AI?

The HN hug of death is really not specific to the Fediverse.

That also rubbed me the wrong way. So much marketing text and then a single paragraph about service terminations and price changes.

Recently I was browsing through old threads where users showed off their personal websites and blogs. I wanted to find some inspiration for my own website. What I found instead were about 3/4 dead links – even though the threads were a

Almost 30 years ago, that's insane to think about. > Your compensation will include meaningful equity ownership. I wonder to what that turned out today...

For me it's Lemmy. Much smaller userbase and it will probably never grow _big_ (because federation is too daunting for some), but for me that's a plus. It's a bit like HN: sometimes it's good to _not_ become mainstream (

Where do you find the "X comments" links that are JS-only? Just visiting the home page of lemmy.ml, all comment links are actual links that can be opened in a new tab or copy-pasted (e.g. https://lemmy.ml/post&#x2F

I was skimming though the pages of this issue from 1986 and thought how those prices for hardware seem fairly reasonable. But looking it up, the inflation since 1986 was ~176%, so 1 USD back then equals about 2.76 today.

This submission is about an update that was posted just two hours ago. It contains some new information and is from another Reddit user (but also an app dev).

I just wish one of the countless Reddit alternatives in the past ten years had gained any significant amount of traction (outside of very niche groups or groups far on the political fringe).

I'm not sure what this would achieve? I mean, surely it wasn't some random developer who came up with this idea and implemented it. This is a management decision and management decisions are driven by the company culture.

Always felt the Deluge is a more 'hacker-type' groovebox, i.e. not as shiny and beginner-friendly as most other products – but with sheer endless capabilities. For examole the number and length of tracks being only limited by RAM

Would love to know how they resolved the problem on a technical level. After all, the apps running in the background would still try to download updates every five minutes and disabling/blocking those update requests on the server mig

We live in dark times if we unironically talk about Microsoft "allowing" certain executables in Windows.

To be fair, this is neither done in LEGO, nor has it anything to do with googol. But you're right that there are many similar machines. I've seen them in two different museums and it's always great to make you think about tim

I think it's good marketing, even though it probably won't make me personally buy their products anytime soon. But having a platform to respond to (preselected) criticism in a humorous way seems to be a good fit for the target aud

For those who didn't watch the full video: the 100,000 USD are an intentionally high price because the creator does not want to sell that specific glass block ("priced not to sell").

For me personally performance with Linux gaming is much less of a problem than it was with teenage me's Windows gaming. Back in the day I didn't have much money, but today I can just buy a slightly beefier GPU to compensate any po

Thanks, very interesting! Weird that it never occurred to me before reading OpenAI's announcement (and missing all the cool projects like yours beforehand).

Any idea how this is done? I.e. is it just priming the underlying GPT model with plugin information additionally to the user input ("you can ask Wolfram Alpha by replying 'hey wolfram: ...' ") and performing API calls wh

PCs are much easier to upgrade than phones. I ditched my Galaxy S2 many many years ago, but my PC is still fine after a few upgrades (e.g. SSDs).

I absolutely love the idea, but I wonder if this is a good use case for e-ink screens. With content changing every minute, this would mean 1440 screen refreshs a day. Not sure how this affects the lifetime of the display and the energy cons

I don't know much about RPI alternatives, but those seem to either cost a lot more (BeaglePlay) or they seem to be much larger and with worse power consumption (used Xeon workstation)?

I challenge the 'clearly' in your comment: It's a saturated blue text on a blueish, gray background. I would not have seen it without your comment :)

Thanks a lot for making this! Just last week I was trying out the transcription APIs of AWS and Google Cloud and they produced rather bad results for a German interview (wrong punctuation and capitalization, about 1 misheard word per senten
