I don't think this list is as famous as you assume it to be. The only "Carl Sagan reading list" I managed to find [0] is apparently his personal TODO note (books he plans to read, but haven't at the moment of writing). W

But... how is it even useful? Do you use it? Is it a good idea for anyone to, uh, use it? Is it a product that you or any other "vibe coder" cannot ~~build~~ tell Claude Code to build on the go, if he wants to communicate with Cla

What? Why are people talking and arguing with a bot? Why not just ban the "user" from the project and call it a day? Seriously, this is insane and surreal.

First of all, you are imagining some strawman situation, where indeed that datetime is encoded-decoded all across the codebase. Don't keeping your code DRY is an entirely different problem, which doesn't need to happen with this a

So... just blacklist all China IPs? I assume China isn't the primary market for most of complaining site-owners.

So, what's up with these bots, why am I hearing about that so often lately? I mean, DDoS atacks aren't a new thing, and, honestly, this is pretty much the reason why Cloudflare even exists, but I'd expect OpenAI bots (or what

It's not like I have a real answer, of course, but something flipped inside of me after hearing the following story by Aaronson. He is asking[0], why quantum amplitudes would have to be complex. I.e., can we imagine a universe, where i

At first I had a negative reaction to that comment and wanted to snap back something along the lines of "that's horrible" as well, but after thinking for a while, I decided that if I have anything to contribute to the discuss

Start using icons in data tables! …What? I suppose, if the OP feels he can give you imperative commands, so can I. I'll spare you the pretentious text elaborating the command — it carries as much substance as no text at all, anyway. An

Huh. Can you do that? I wonder what is legal status of this. I used to make all sorts of fake IDs (pretty good ones!) when I was a teen (you know, for purposes such as going to clubs, buying alcohol), but of course this is literally a crime

I don't quite understand the purpose. Yes, it's clearly stated, but, what do you mean "a reasonable subset of Python code" while "cannot use the standard library"? 99.9% of Python I write for anything ever uses

No, seriously, people need to be punished for submitting LLM-generated garbage without specifying that it's LLM-generated garbage. 400+ points, oh my god, people, what's wrong with you...

Is there some well established independent benchmark where I can easily (looking at a couple of graphs) compare all popular (especially self-hosted) transcription models?

by krick 8mo ago
To me, the most worrying part of the whole discussion is that your comment is pretty much the most "daring", if you can call it that, attempt to question if there even is a crime. Everyone else is worried about raids (which are no

Not universally true. I had a couple of cards without a chip because, reasons. I still was walking to the counter myself, because giving somebody my card feels weird.

Honestly, it is funny that people even seriously discuss this. I mean, now . It is such a blatant bullshit that you'd expect this time people would say "okay, now Musk went too far, nobody would buy into this". Yeah, I wish.

You are in the data I attached. #43.

You are largely right. In fact, only 444 710 of those accounts have more than 1 post, and only 229 920 have more than 5.

Let me help you. Words / [days since account creation] would be a far better metric to decide if you have an HN problem, and by that metric you easily surpass current account #1000. In fact, if I make a proper leaderboard by that metri

Yeah, that was my reaction as well. Not sure what other people are so happy about. (But of course I did.)

I feel like there's a lot of confusion, so not sure if anyone can clear up mine, but I'm really struggling to see a significance of this. Obviously, like all ignorant people do, I am going to oversimplify things here. But still, t

Yet when I call emergency I must provide my location verbally, and then am usually contacted for a follow-up, because the guys cannot find the place. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that this location technology works perfectly well:

My first reaction was that it's really great, but almost immediately I got a hold on myself: look, maybe you can argue for the cracks on the road under certain conditions, but surely it didn't have to put transformer booths and

> We aquired TikTok because of the perceived threat It's very tangential to your point (which is somewhat fair), but it's just extremely weird to see a statement like this in 2026, let alone on HN. The first part of that senten

That's super curious. No offense, the noise didn't make it sound more amateurish to me personally, so I wouldn't go as far as to immediately conclude that this was intentional by TikTok, let alone that it is because it didn

I'm not sure what they mean by "in the region", but my case is even more extreme, as pretty much the only time I'm forced to use whatsapp is when I'm travelling and need to communicate with all sorts of hosts who an

They are not in the same bucket, and I'm being intentionally provocative, if this confession makes things easier for you, but I really don't think you should mind that much if somebody is jerking off in public unless it harms you

Even that I'd call somewhat petty, but it is more defensible if it's insulting to you when you hear toilet noises from your phone, and you are totally in your right to tell it straight to the person who is calling you, that it&#x2

As a matter of fact, I do NOT understand the overwhelming opposition to this. What's your deal if a guy is good at multitasking and people on the other end of the wire don't mind it? It isn't like he is desecrating a temple,

You probably meant "doesn't make sense".
