You are getting downvoted because people see their own reflection in that statement. And they don't like what they are seeing.

He clearly has psychiatric involvement in his personality: NPD at least, psychopathic at worst. Both type of personalities are great manipulators who can deceive even the closest friends, more so the masses.

They are free to do whatever they want, but please keep that crap out from paid plans.

This is an interesting approach. Archive.org could be such a solution, kind of. Not its cold storage as it's now, but a warm access layer. Sponsorship by AI companies would a good initiative for the project.

Nowadays people complain about AI scrapers with the same vain as they complained about search indexers a way back when. Just a few years later, people had stopped caring too much about storage access and bandwidth, and started begging searc

The problem with that software title is caused by a hostile licensing system it uses. It relies on an offline form of online activation where the activation key is tied to your installation ID, which in turn depends on OS/hardware iden

My personal bet is that traditional search engines face a -70% usage drop at the moment.

The problem with duplicate questions is that they weren't duplicates at all, and mods weren't competent enough to tell a difference.

Incompetent moderation and the air of hostility towards contributing users.

Signs of over-moderation and increasing toxicity on Stack Overflow became particularly evident around 2016, as reflected by the visible plateau in activity. Many legitimate questions were closed as duplicates or marked off-topic despite bei

To give it a different light: by using an indie web approach (i.e. self host), there is an intrinsic guarantee that a publisher has put at least some effort and resources to make their materials public. This ensures that the published mater

Pretty much what Google did back in 2021 or so - all the ads suddenly became "adaptive" - meaning that they started to produce funky texts trying to lure the unassuming viewers. Needless to say that those generated texts sometimes

If a file system implements lock/unlock functions precisely to the spec, it should be fully consistent for the file/directory that is being locked. Does not matter if the file system is local or remote. In other words, it's n

Running a command is the main idea of cron. In this case, the author runs composite commands like: test && action Where 'test' is another shell command that returns 0 or 1. This is not a special cron syntax, it&#x

Bait contributors by a FOSS-like model, then switch the mode to sell the results of their contributions without paying them back. What a classic.

It is not that clarity as in a "positive happy life". It is the clarity that frees you from perceptual distortions - if everything can be faked, one starts to question themselves what kind of information they are consuming. Progra

It is not about artists per ce, it is about manipulative entities. For any manipulation to succeed, one has to create a fog, disorientation, muddy waters. AI brings clarity. This results in a lot of pain for those who tried to hijack the ga

Thank you for sharing. A lot of HN people got cut by AI in one way or another, so they seem to have personal beefs with AI. I am talking about not only job shortages but also general humbling of the bloated egos.

JavaScript in 2010 was a totally different beast, standartization-wise. Lots of sharp corners and blank spaces were still there. So, even if an implementation like MicroQuickJS existed in 2010, it's unlikely that too many people would

This coincides with my experience. At first, Azure (AWS, ...) were simple enough to get started in no time. Later, the service creation "wizards" started becoming progressively bloated, getting full of vendor-specific details I co

A distro working out-of-the-box for a certain user group is not a weird spinoff. Some people love to economize time; a distro that takes care of exactly that is a good deal.

I don't think personal blogs have made a comeback. Most modern blogs are ego-boosting camouflage, the same content you'd find on social media. This kind of content isn't intended to disseminate useful information, but rather

I am kind of fascinated that some people move the world forward finding a solution even for supposedly dare conditions, while others kill innocent with bombs. This is what I've felt after watching the video. Good luck to these manufact

DuckLake format has an unresolved built-in chicken and egg conflict: it requires SQL database to represent its catalog. But this is what some people are running away from when they choose Parquet format in the first place. Parquet = easy, S

Plenty of them. Image tracing is probably the most notable one (converts pixels to vectors). After playing with it several hours, I can say that Affinity 3 is pretty solid release. The new AI persona is surprisingly useful too. Initially, I
