Lito Souza is a brazilian influencer. He has a Youtube channel dedicated to aviation education, history and news, with 4 million subscribers. He's the most kind soul you can ever meet. At the beginning of August, he started having diff

Well, he wasnt very good at conveying his idea then. I also stopped reading at that point. Fuck anyone that holds this idiotic beliefs.

Same here, I stopped reading right when he said this idiotic "guy from 300 years ago - when science as we know it basically only existed within the realm of white european culture" didnt thought about the rest of the world BS

These AI generated proofs have something akin to the quantum algorithms that can generate a response that would take 1 billion years of processing to finish on a classical computer. How do you test them to see if the result was correct?

I would rather go watch Weekend at Bernie's for the 100th time.

Yandex is great. When you want to see news/sites/whatever that does not conform to what the western mainstream powers "accepts as acceptable", you can go to Yandex and you will find it there. When Google search went to s

Bullshit. This was the reason the industry gave for why they were removing battery replaceability support. Everybody hated it when it was first introduced, and to this day I only buy phones which have easily accessible ways to put a new bat

Falling knife or not, if you own an index fund, or if your 401k owns one, you're buying a piece of it at IPO prices. The exit scam is almost complete.

HN is heavily populated by and biased towards left left leaning west coast IT adjacent people. But it still makes me wonder for how long can the US keep it's dominance on the world stage with so many people that think this way in posit

Karafun is a paid service? I've seen their karaoke songs on Youtube for over a decade, I thought that was their business model.

If everything is deterministic, i.e. determined, there's no free will, so you/I are just a NPC. I prefer to live in a universe where my conscious decisions matter, or at least can't be predicted beforehand.

To me, the fact that quantum mechanics is intrinsically "random" and unknowable beforehand, is what makes living bearable in this universe as a sentient being. If we, two legged viruses that we are, could reach a level of understa

Yep, no rational argument can be used to make you (or me) see the same movie.

These Minessota videos are classic examples of what Scott Adams used to call "two different movies being played on the same screen", in this case quite literally. From the point of view of a left leaning person, that movie shows a

Go create something original instead of tryingto destroy the greatness "created by a white guy" in the past.

Abnormal = non normal / non normative. Words have meaning. If for you it causes a bad reaction to it, you are the one that needs to deal with it. That's excatly the problem, normal people are tired of being called bad for seeing t

Yes, the analogy to the bell curve doesn't fit this use case very well, I didn't noticed it before. But the point still stands: non heterosexual behaviour is a tiny minority compared to the norm. So, abnormal is a perfectly good w

If something falls out of the center of the normal distribution, it's by definition abnormal. Once again, that doesn't make it bad per se. But trying to police perfectly good words just makes people become more antagonizing to the

I used to assume that the average Joe would be amazed at the way my Youtube/Facebook/whatever looks and works, with no ads and with a lot of annoyances removed. Then I saw, more than once, people complaining that THE ADS were gone

Not a "guy novel" at all. I read it around 20 and just thought it was a waste of time, nothing happened, just wandering around aimlessly like 90% of my buddies on their teenage years. The whole beat movement was just style over su

I believe the concept of multiplexing made the tower obsolete, orher than the subterranean cables of course.

The most infuriating case of shrinkflation I've encontered yet is abot the "Oreo" style cookies, that were used to be sold on packages where each cookie was stacked on top of another, "laying flat". Over time, rhe p

For fixed radars, at least down here in Brazil, RadarBot is a lot better than Waze. For cops on the side of the road, maybe Waze can be better. RadarBot updates it's list of fixed spees cameras really fast.

All banks in Brazil now use the Google Play Integrity api. I've been on rooted phones for almost 15 years, and I'll never not main a rooted phone. But for a couple years now, I have to keep a separate phone just to be able to use

If it was 2023 I would say someone just vibecoded a trivial android piece of code. But nowadays Android studio comes with Gemini agent integrated, and I doubt it would produce such terrible redundancy on a code so simple.

A little bit overkill to use a dependency to just show a dialog. I agree that Google ia making Android less and less free with every new release, but show a damn dialog, no need to use this.

Like the one the aztecs regularly unleashed upon their neighbors? Or any pre-colonial tribe in the Americas or Africa (in this case up until this day really). What did the Romans brought us really?
