Additional diagnostics can also be very expensive. Articles like this don’t seem to understand the overall costs to a health system with decisions like these. And that cost eventually does go down into the pockets of patients one way or ano

What is the connection to Rita Hayworth?

What does Rita Hayworth have to do with Shawshank redemption, so much so that it would be in the title?

Do you want to know how I can tell that you did not read the hacker news guidelines.

The entire point of the article is about the Mac mini sales flying through the roof because of this.

Uh, that escalated quickly.

This is called whataboutism. This particular feature aside, sometimes there are very good reasons not to throw the kitchen sink of features at users.

The hacker news guidelines forbid you from suggesting someone has not read the article. Please do not participate in this forum with such conduct.

Pro tip to the author: it’s not necessary to write “It’s worth noting”, this just weakens the prose. If it is worth noting, just note it. No need to add additional commentary.

This is a good example of a comment taken completely out of context to indicate something that’s not true at all. Take a look at a chart of gold. Crash of 10% makes it sound like gold depreciated a lot.

Several of these I don’t have any problems with myself, but the one that I get affected by all the time that I haven’t seen here, at least from as far down as I scrolled, is the bizarre typo that the voice dictation randomly inserts a capit

It sounds funny, but it's not. I once issued a bug to them that didn't have enough information about how to reproduce... and I was lambasted on Reddit and eventually just deleted my account there it was so terrifying. Some dev tea

It’s hard to deny the role of social media in all of this.

Sure but all of that predates the Epstein releases and reactions, which is what this thread is referring to.

The difference is that the actions and rhetoric around Venezuela and Greenland and the Fed reserve are direct actions by Trump. The thing in Minnesota is a tragedy but I don’t think he told anyone to go out and kill somebody on the street.

Venezuela, Greenland, and this. Anyone notice how these extreme events all happened around the same time of the Epstein files getting released with highly publicized questions about all the redactions? It certainly seems like a distraction

Unfortunately, it’s also apparently so useful that numerous companies here in Europe are replacing entire departments of people like copywriters and other tasks with one person and an AI system.

ChatGPT did much better but I cannot paste it into this text box no matter how many times I try with different formatting to get the white space preserved. chatGPT also could not figure out how to format it for pasting here.

If you look at the actual harmonics of a string and of horn, you will see how wrong you are. There is a reason why they sound different to the ear. It’s because of this that you can have a relatively inexpensive synthesizer (not sample or P

This is terrible. It’s always sad to hear about things like this.

"bug" can refer to many categories of problems, including logic errors. I've certainly seen uninitialized variables be a source of bugs. Stackoverflow for example is full of discussions about debugging problems caused by unin
