It's not really "insurance" at that point then, is it? The system is set up with lots of people paying into it to cover the expenses of the relatively few that need to draw on it, in the relatively low probability event that

Is it the same generation? I grew up in the Napster, MIT license, software-patents-are-bad, "information just wants to be free, man" days, and have more or less the same views today, particularly when it comes to AI model training

Not exactly "eggcorns", but as a father of a 3 year old, I'm constantly getting a kick out of the incorrect but plausible words she uses. E.g. "bump beds" for "bunk beds", "de-odor-mint" for &quo

Heh, you're right, of course, but as someone who came of age on the internet around that era, it still seems strange to me that people these days are making the arguments the RIAA did. They were the big bad guys in my day.

I'm really curious about this. Framing it as "running a large language model in the cloud" is almost burying the lede for me. Is this saying that in general the client will be able to cryptographically ascertain somehow the c

Congrats to the team! I feel like I see lots of posts here on HN and go "wow, I didn't know DuckDB could do that". It seems like a very powerful tool, which I haven't had the pleasure of using yet. Due to policies at wor

Oh, this is interesting. As a GitHub sponsor of Andreas for a while now, what does that mean for sponsors? Are we funding exclusively work on LadyBird? (Had we been, for some time already?) Does the SerenityOS project have a GitHub sponsor?

I guess I don't take it for granted like in the article that replacing something is necessarily bad. What specifically is the metric that is bad here? Landfill space? Material waste? Ikea furniture is less dense so sort of wins here.

Inflation has been 80% since then, but that doesn't mean it's 80% off. $1000 in 2000 is $1800 today, so a discount of 44%. 80% off would imply it's $5000 today, but prices didn't 5x fortunately. Good joke, though.

I haven't been following closely, but I had thought firebase was like a streaming database or something. But I guess not if it also runs AI models. Is "Firebase" more of a brand, then, nowadays that encompasses a family of pr

Yeah, I mean, that's the joke. The comment I replied to, "a huge class of problems that's extremely difficult to solve but very easy to check", sounded to me like an assertion that P != NP, which everyone takes for grant

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's nothing actually legally preventing a Mondragon-type industrial co-op like this from existing in the US, right? That it's not so common is an interesting question: does it get outcompeted

As the father of a son named Daniel, I found this fascinating. Thanks! I think I agree with the comment in the conclusion that Torah names are used by non-Jews when a Christian comes across the name. But I don't think in this case it&#

I suppose this is relevant on account of it being Easter. Growing up Catholic, we always said the Nicene Creed during Mass, which kind of enumerates the standard Catholic beliefs. I never thought much about it, but a non-Christian friend wh

That's pretty interesting. Do you have any more info about how you did that or how you found it or how much something like that costs? Was it just a sustainability donation kind of thing, or do you intend to (or can you) live there or

As someone who recently went down a rabbit hole into trying to optimize credit card rewards (and opting for cashback in the end), I'm still kind of perplexed how it all works. Like, who's paying for the flights? Consumers, merchan

Oh, of course. Brain fart moment. I pattern matched (ha!) to code I've seen too much where that's at compile time. Yeah, runtime here works but I agree is still not as good as Application.get_env. Aside from (IMO) code clarity r

A good point but kind of a weak article. It talks about the S&P 500 but that's obviously quite limited. I'd be more interested in a VTI-type (total stock market ETF) comparison. But even that hides the really interesting part

Are there any cars that "cruise" (by which I assume you mean maintain velocity without applying a pedal)? Non-EVs mostly sort of do so, they still slow down gradually. I'd be interested in trying a car that cruises indefinite

What dialect is that? For me, growing up in California, "chilly" is a synonym of "cold". Or at least it's colder than I would expect "lukecool" to be.
