alternatives like matrix exist... maybe some vibecoders could take a project like that and try to "soup it up"

postmarketos would probably be the next in line for consideration: https://postmarketos.org/ and then maybe ubuntu touch: https://www.ubuntu-touch.io/ edit: list of supported lineagos devices (would have be

I think getting rid of IP shifts economic focus on to tangible physical goods which you can exclusively own: you can sell the physical medical devices, just not claim a specific design is "yours exclusively" IP has always had awkw

hopefully this continues to show how awkward the idea of "intellectual property" (IP) is until people abandon it IP sounds good in theory but enables things like "patent trolling" by large corps and creating all kinds of

not sure I understand the petrol car using 3x as much energy as an EV... wouldn't it make sense to convert gasoline to electricity then? I presume that must not be as efficient as other ways to convert fuel to gasoline? (I understand t

This is my instinctive view on this, I wish in society there was more of like an "orientation" to make people "fully adult / responsible for themselves" and then people could just be let alone to bear the consequenc

a bit disturbed to see this upvoted as much on HN as I thought techy people shunned Apple products (like Stallman calling their ecosystem a "jail") but... I can see there are a lot of Apple users here apparently. I have some old h

Relatedly, I'm periodically thinking about the issue of people who prevent problems not being rewarded as much as those who become "heroes" for resolving avoidable situations I guess it may be important to underscore the valu

Let's see, current "natural" remedies (competitors or complements?) for chronic fatigue to the proposed ketamine: adaptogenic herbs (like ashwagandha or ginseng) exercise? coq10 / magnesium / b vitamins?

I'm wondering if this is what I've been thinking of as "prompt source code": the prompts you use, viewed as source code, for producing whatever code actually comes out... so people can look at what prompts you used to ge

What kind of hardware does HN recommend or like to run these models?

sounds likely and plausible but also like an "unproven conspiracy theory"

I think you could probably identify different "risks" and then just code in such a way as to mitigate them; I don't personally think there would have to be much of a risk of atrophy of skills if this is done. I guess it remin

And so it sounds like Anthropic bungled their deal in retrospect... I wonder what happened?
292.
by erelong 8mo ago
I think Anthropic sounds well-intentioned but is blundering this incident in a big way and they really needed to work better towards a deal instead of isolating themselves with a "principled stance" that sets up a competitor to sw

This sounds impractical and like they will probably not keep the ban AI use should be able to accelerate the development of ports on currently unsupported or undersupported devices which would directly support the project I guess I wouldn&#

I wonder if AI will force people to consider necessary deregulation to create jobs; in other words, many jobs are regulated out of existence and artificial scarcity is created which AI will exacerbate (hence AI isn't the problem, over-

Good site; frequently see comments on here that sound like those on the site Granted, popularity doesn't prove such projects are good projects and some criticism might be otherwise justified

"This is the way" I think the other problems are that some things aren't proven or some studies are wrong, so it doesn't eliminate making choices on certain topics without a study backing what you are to do (and then you
