A few months ago we were hearing that it was game over because of Deepseek. Today it has a mind share close to zero on the developed world. Being 90% as good (which Deepseek isn't) doesn't cut it... US models might not be "de

This is a fantastic idea to trigger the truly unthinkable: a war between the "Nordics" and the two European nuclear states.

As an amateur photographer, I can't see the scenario in landscape photography (the page pictures a beach) that would require extreme precision. Is it for measurements? This is a serious question. I can understand the appeal of a well m

Physical hardware is fun, sounds better (when analog or acoustic) but I can't go back after a long time with a streamlined VST-based workflow. For playing without a computer, I simply use romplers for the convenience. So, while I have

When I read HN comments where people say "AI sux, AI is useless, AI is a waste of time", I think I must be living in a different universe. Maybe Hacker News is a dimensional portal between my reality and other people's. Hi th

I'm not arguing which system is best. I'm just saying this isn't a big advantage for a lot of startups from a purely financial perspective, which was the original point. Sure, one startup will go down because the young founde

There are many companies that deal with this complexity for you. Online payment processors and e-store services for instance. Source: I have an US company, sell products to all states and don't deal with this. I think you're the f

I didn't want to start a healthcare discussion but employer costs with healthcare in the US can be lower than Europe labor taxes. EmployEE costs is a different thing but many startups have young employees who don't need a whole lo

Hacker News has a silent majority that works tirelessly to keep this site relatively free of ads disguised as articles and political news. I hope it stays that way. I'm just completely tired of those political echo chamber articles, ev

I've vastly reduced my direct search use after LLMs showed up. I still do dumb searches, but anything remotely resembling research is much easier directly through AI. Google nailed AI with Gemini, leaving DDG in a uncomfortable place..

I use AI as a senior developer I ask questions to. It gives me an answer, which I can use on my work or not. Saved me days of work, but I couldn't be taken out (yet) of the loop because I'm still making the decisions...

I've thought about installing solar panels on my roof for years. But when I factor in installation costs, it never makes sense because the local energy rates are pretty reasonable... Also, I live in Southeast, a place with plenty of su

This. Sometimes I hear people saying random stuff about the US and I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm aware of food deserts, but that aside, I could find fresh food in most grocery stores in the many places I've l

After FIRE I started building my own small to medium projects. Emulators, tools, games, some available to the public. I tell people I'm a full time software developer who does remote consulting gigs (the last not true but justifies my

Note to people on this thread: the impression the discussions give is that Linux isn't ready for prime time desktop use. I thought Wayland was the latest and greatest, but folks here report issues and even refuse to ever use it. Window

Their success is a big part of why the experience is so bad as they have to appeal to a common denominator. At the same time, they also win on the little things that diehard opponents choose to ignore, like search that kind of works. I don&

Languages often simplify as they evolve, dropping "annoying" characters like æ. In fact, it was replaced by "e" (or ae itself) in most cases as the words got imported by other languages.

I don't disagree with that, but I want to point out that this is one facet of hedonic adaptation. People will always complain about of what they don't have. For instance, most inmates in inhumane prisons would love to have the lif
