I've long held a belief that if countries want to mandate compliance, they should be required to provide the mechanism for compliance. Want to deem whether content is allowed or not? Fine, provide an API that allows content to be scann

Likewise, Slack. Currently at 2.3GB. I'm very curious if this AI wave will actually lead to more native apps being made, since the barrier to doing so will be lower.

As someone who has launched something free on HN before, the resulting signups were around 1/3rd valid users doing cool things and checking things out, and 2/3rds nefarious users.

Very cool, performance is abysmal at least on my m1 pro mac though - only getting ~2fps.

One thing I like about this, despite it meaning Bun will be funded, is Anthropic is a registered public benefit corporation. While this doesn't mean Anthropic cant fuck over the users of Bun, it at least puts in some roadblocks. The

Tangental observation - I've noticed Gemini 3 Pro's train of thought feels very unique. It has kind of an emotive personality to it, where it's surprised or excited by what it finds. It feels like a senior developer looking t

This is the correct approach in my opinion. Metadata should not be used to control rotation - there are just too many edge cases for where it can go wrong.

One of the things I've always been curious about is how effective diffusion models can be for web and app design. They're generally trained on more organic photos, but post-training on SDXL and Flux have given me good results here

The issue becomes there's little to no way to tell the difference between the two. Additionally, if human summaries aren't copyright infringement, you can train LLMs on things such as the Wikipedia summaries. In this situation, th

> Presumably just rounding to the nearest 5 cents isn't that different The above context was that rounding to 5 cents might be illegal due to laws regarding SNAP debit prices being different than cash prices.

> The fact that this can run standalone Just make sure to wait for reviews on this front - it almost certainly can't run AAA games at the native resolution + fps. Likely it'll only be able to run lower req games on device.

100% true regarding the housing costs, but renting is actually fairly affordable in Sydney. I had a penthouse on the beach for $3900 USD/mo. Here's the view from it: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations&#x2

IMO the biggest barrier to linux is disappearing - the requirement to know how to use the command line. You still have to use it, but you don't have to know how to use it anymore with the introduction of LLMs. I also have switched my p

They're going to have a hard time selling the M5 when compared to the M4 Pro. Geekbench for that chip is 3843/22332, which is slightly slower for single core but better for multi, but also has thunderbolt 5 instead of 4.

It's a long-term gamble but a short-term win. In almost all scenarios, a setup with this incentive structure will lead to massive adoption. It's too tempting, and with most jobs / political positions being short term (<5yr
