Every single time I read about an AI related article I'm always disturbed by the same and recurring fact: the ridiculous amounts of money involved and the lousy real world results delivered. It is just simply insane.

Webapps solve this completely. You login to a service as we have been doing forever. And the control is still on their side when you use a webapp. Almost every single app that is on my phone can be a webapp.

Yes, agree 100%. It's not only Android the problem. It's the cartelization between them and hardware manufacturers. But then that means that we will be doomed to the current duopoly between Google and Apple. The very first step I

I'm going to say something that probably will get me down votes: Why do we have to beg Google to keep Android open? Seriously. So many open source projects have risen out of real and concrete needs and successfully made their way into

How can smart be good? Can you give me a practical and real example of a benefit of a smart appliance? How can it be better than a regular appliance that does not get on your way? Let me guess: now to operate a dishwasher I need to download

You do not buy a smart appliance. Period. A fridge, oven, toaster, washing machine, bed do not need to be smart. Smart is the consumer that is able to spot all this BS ideas that are putting in front of us and avoids it as much as it can.

$33k is still lot of money! What happens if you don't have that sum? How does the system allow to be arbitrary charged on health? I'm Argentinian and while we might be a country lagging behind in so many things these kind of ripof

Yeap, actually I haven't run directly `bhyve` but using the `vm` wrapper as is very convenient. I haven't looked at passrhrough yet, but I do feel that if I need to use it I would probably have to fight a bit with it, anyone had a

Uh, ok then. I always thought that those were actually real kernel processes. What's the use of having top report those kernel threads? Is it possible to renice them?

I don't know, but what I do know that "jail" has a very different meaning for me. In Argentina the lives of people of an entire country have been ruined because of the last 20 years of robbery from the state arcs. Yet every d

Why when a high profile politic is sentenced it goes to a 5 star suite while the rest of mortals are thrown to a hole? It seems that when you cross a certain invisible threshold "justice" applies just a bit differently. Same in Ar

What truly suprises me about BSDs is their simplicity and low footprint, OpenBSD being gold standard. I've been playing with `byve` the last two weeks (I highly recommend vermaden's blog for anyone interested in BSDs and obviously

What is an actual and solid reason to choose or stay AWS these days? The topic of paying hefty amounts of money to AWS when other options are available has been discussed many times before. My view of AWS is that you have bazillions of thin

Uh, apologies for not properly reading about the project. It was not my intention to diminish the project or the its author. Feel free to downvote my comment!

This has to be one of the coolest, near zero cost projects I've seen in a while. KUDOS to the author for the simplicity and creativity found on those cards!

Uff, they are really really pushing for people to keep using Windows, huh? Some time ago it was Windows Subsystem for Linux. Now this. I already said the same in that HN thread and will repeat it here: Let's do it the other way round:

So it's free... Until is not. My take on this would be that if Oracle makes any change to that "free" tier and you do not take proper action you might be automatically charged hefty amounts from your credit card. No, thanks.

I would probably change "Not dependent on a specific company" to "Not being hostage from ransomware from specific companies". See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45283887

In Spanish we have the saying: "Lo barato sale caro". So in order to save, you turn to "AI", and then you immediately need to turn to a real developer or a development team. If I were in this business, I would charge hef

LMAO. Billions of dollars for this, seriously? Makes Bill Gates Win95 presentation BSOD fail look professional. And LMAO for all the companies out there burning money for getting on the train of AI just because everyone does so.

Thanks for reminding me about scrcpy. I knew it but I've completely forgot about it. Will give it a shot. Why the custom fork? You added the VNC support to scrpy?

Fair point. I haven't actually tested the banking mobile webapp but I did test it from a regular PC and oh boy, it was like a 1999 web application. Not just because of the look and feel but everything was just odd and in the wrong plac

Today they are mostly irrelevant. Just skimmed their website and I can't find any reason why people would spend money on their products. In a competitive industry such as audio I would never purchase headphones or speakers from them. A
