In fairness, a better Google search is worth millions of dollars. And I agree that the primary virtue of coding with current AI is that it just cuts time that is spent looking through multiple pages of junky search results. It's not

It still kind of low-key boggles my mind that so many developers choose iPhones and buy into that ecosystem. Not criticizing them... everybody makes their own choices and gets to decide what's good for themselves. But I just don&#x

I would so gladly sacrifice lightweight for power, battery, reparability, or price. Same with my phone.

I run Brave at home and a local LLM on the same machine, and didn't know this. I guess I'll be playing around this weekend.

It is perfectly possible for the first AGI to be stupid. A moron. In fact, I'd bet that's fairly likely.

I asked "Which is louder, a 12.5 decibel scream, or a 12.8 decibel whisper?", which I wouldn't think has much of a presence in its training set, and it answered correctly. May still get it wrong in more subtle ways, though.

That's too binary. You can dislike Musk without disliking Tesla, and vice versa. I think it's rather pointless to avoid companies led by people with politics I dislike, because that is nearly all of them. Hell, I wouldn't h

You forgot 'sell more'.

That is interesting, although improbable.

Carter set back nuclear power in the US a lot . Emissions would be in much better shape if he hadn't done that.

If you research all the controversies around Brave, I think they pretty much amount to nothing. Just some people holding grudges. But the complaint that it's a reskinned Chrome and will be forced to eventually adopt most of Chrome&#x2

I think losing the Google money will be the only thing that could save Firefox... although it'll be a tough year or two while all the execs flee and side projects get axed.

HN often covers major news events, and wars fall into that category. Their impact is wide-ranging and of large import. I don't see an issue with the occasional HN coverage of it. I could see an argument that this conflict might be ge

Words do not have magic attached to them. They do not inherit sins. 'Solution' and 'final' have definitions, use those... don't gasp in shock and insist on synonyms when someone happens to use a combination of wor

No, but the 'correct amount of calories' is a steadily decreasing number, so it requires constant adjustment.

It's a version of the tragedy of the commons. Yes, your software bloat isn't the main factor keeping you slow, and cleaning it up might be barely perceptible. But... all the other software makes the same decision. Then, suddenly
