That is a hard one, as how do you know they aren't real? I mean I think I know but that is just because I know already.

The one key thing that is completely incorrect is there is no horizontal hierarchy. Everyone has a boss, a boss that you must not suggest is wrong. I'm very fond of visiting Japan but having worked there, found it impossibly challengin

I have basically no real knowledge on the history of punch cards bar how they work, but this is why the internet is still special, these niche websites.

There are far more localised versions of this in research facilities whereby budget, and available hardware is determining the focus of research far more than idea and it being right. This is where open source hardware is key

This is sadly becoming very common and they are worringly good enough for people to assume they are real. I had a friend who had this issue, she has tried to ride it off as no clue who made them or shared them but I know it can't be ea

I would be curious to see those stats that show they are no longer in poverty, as poverty is relative, aka when rent goes up many still can't afford it. Just because they have more money coming in, it doesn't mean they aren't

How very sad. Whilst not my piece of software of choice, it is definitely still used by plenty to do cool work. I do think it will eventually be surpassed by Python and Julia but it still has it's place right now.

Guess that makes sense assuming the cinema is still round the corner. I miss the days of the CEX store when it sold import games just round the corner as well. Considering you have to travel through New Malden, Raynes Park (which for me is

Without even looking I assume this is the art installation in Kingston Upon Thames (a lovely town outside London, and next to Hampton Court). I remember this from childhood as I used to get my haircut opposite these phone boxes and regularl

Which is even more nuts, especially with the features removed from Firefox sometimes like the grouped tabs removal then regain.

Two questions, how can you trust closed source? And how are they already on release 8.0; what are these significant improvement each time or is it like apple's yearly release?

Gog and Steam often release versions years later, sometimes items are well abandoned for a decade plus with no interest in release and people fairly download to play. If you then decide to monetize that, I don't think morally you can r

That is the case of course in this instance but still it isn't cheap enough anymore where I will just purchase off the cuff. Some now are £40 (Monster Hunter for example right now) for all the content which is a huge price increase fro

Ignoring the website itself, it's an interesting point. I work on photonics research and the range of equipment needed all usually from different stores is significant. It's clear at this point, it's not unified enough a fiel

Why would there need to be a code of conduct or disclaimer when it's clearly stated it's a patch for a photo editing product called gimp?

It's an offshoot patch for the original project so the usage makes sense.

Your life quality wouldn't improve. It's just a reason to buy new tech that looks cool that so many of us use here.

That's a different scenario. All you can eat buffets people will turn up and all eat a similar amount. At a company, multiple people will want to logon and look but fundamentally the only entity that needs to download is the business.

If your business is only viable due to shady subscription practices then it doesn't deserve to be running, whether it's Adobe, gyms, or whatever.

I hear you but how much change do you really feel we can make on the government. Whatever they end up wanting to do they will do. The bigger change we, especially those on sites like HN can make, is making sites, protocols, and new networki

A internet based company in many countries can not be held to any law because the UK aren't a fan. Companies don't need to collect cash in the UK to run a business worldwide.

The power to prosecute and the actual ability to prosecute are two different things. They currently can't prosecute CSAM offences nor piracy due to capacity. It won't happen.

This comment is a little unclear. However no matter what the government or security services want, they won't be able to stop people who want to use VPN or End to end encryption. Nothing would ever change in that regard.

Get back into computers that have limited ability but are fun to use, such as the MNT Reform.

Yes this is really common. Not all universities own the research you do. I have a similar setup within my university. They get to use the research technique I've worked on, but I have the rights to take it out of the university and sel

You are better being able to quickly deduce ways of acting from memories of previous scenarios, than have to attempt every scenario to build a fresh memory of each, which is a lot of memory, and requires exposure to every situation before b

Is this a post because of the fact it was released under CC or for a different reason?

I see why, but I don't feel this is the solution. Being able to search thru the endless LLM responses is not viable. However having useful memories, similar to human brain is more important. I sense this is why neuromorphic computing i

The obvious energy saving step would be to utilise previous searches by others. Many of the tasks people do are rather similar, it is such an energy waste to start again each time. (Obviously ignoring the huge energy saver, which is to obse
