We will still talk about AI in five years because AI is still massively behind what the general public thinks of as AI Think skynet or HAL. All powerful and all knowing systems that run every aspect of our lives. Even our concept of VR is s

Funny though, this term is spread by the media. That’s how it becomes commonplace. Now the media is telling us we should stop using a term they popularized, by continuing to use the term in their headlines. Maybe if they just no longer used

With everything going on in politics right now, the one thing that unequivocally makes me proud to be American is that we have improved pizza We improved burritos, and sushi too. We even put sushi in a burrito and Indian food on a pizza. Yo

Jobs was evidently pissed to lose those 3 people, so it’s safe to assume they were very senior folk. They likely were involved in the iPhone design to trigger this CEO panic Imagine having vested stock before the release of the iPhone. Imag

I’m “reading” all day long. Code, chats, news, documentation. There’s really all the difference in the world if you can sit still and focus on a good engaging long-form work. I think most folk are losing the discipline to do that, as we all

Police won’t act if they don’t think they can get a conviction Chase an AirTag to someone’s house and all they have to do is say “oh, I don’t know what that is. Here, take it.” Can’t prove intent, can’t prove who actually took it, and now i

A massive reason WP became the de facto web CMS was the community, including volunteers supporting plugins they wrote and published for free. For example, in the early 2010s I manned a help booth at wordcamp. I frequented the forums and gav

FF has a strong reputation for adhering to open standards. For Google to not dedicate “scarce resources” (what a choice of words when talking about a company with a market cap over Two TRILLION dollars) to those standards, I think it’s fair

I have no problem with well-meaning, but dumb people in local government jobs. I actually have quite a large problem with successful and intelligent people taking government jobs in bad faith for the expressed purpose of ruining it for thei

Based on my anecdotal experience, another issue is that salespeople are not trained on the tech I worked on a feature for new vehicles and the company failed in part because buyers simply didn’t know those features were part of the vehicle.

Also a significant number of palantir senior leadership moved over to Andruil years ago. I would imagine this “fellowship” between the two companies has been in place for quite some time already

Which also seems to be pretty much dead at this point. TOR appears to have enough nodes operated by the authorities, with enough notable de-anonymizing exploits that anybody running a market or selling enough gets got And the ledger isn’t a

It’s a novel invention but at this point I still don’t see how it’s anything more than a speculative gamble I stayed away from bitcoin early on because I didn’t understand the fundamentals. I spent too much time reading about P/E ratio

I’ll play devils advocate Bitcoin hitting some arbitrary new high is not newsworthy or interesting. It’s the same story we’ve read for a decade. Some kid making 50k exploiting a crypto service with some social engineering via memes is actua

It’s funny to me that so often on HN we have discussions about making ethical choices in who we work for and which projects we contribute to, yet the sentiment on this CEO is honestly the most sympathetic I have seen in any comment section

I think the average American understands everything they need to understand when they pay their premiums and are refused the care they require to survive. It’s laughable that anyone can have this reaction of “gee, maybe if people only under

So, no suggestion then Nobody is buying $250 flagship earbuds from Apple if they aren’t fully leveraging the Apple ecosystem. Plenty of competition at this level for other platforms.

I think we often forget that Russian propaganda is also often aimed at Russians and not the west. Nazis invaded Russia and calling their neighbors Nazis is meant to invoke fear and imminent danger to the Russian people. It’s a completely di

I’m still using an RSS reader for that very purpose. I want my trusted content displayed chronologically; miss me with the algorithm and the recommended influencers. I’ve been on the internet long enough to know what I want and how to find

Not in the modern sense. Those mediums do not have algorithms, feeds, followers, profiles, influencers, likes, or any features that many people point to as the toxic aspects of pretty much every commercial social media site of the last deca

That’s not true. You can use iCloud keychain and have numerous recovery options, including other passkeys. A lost device is not a critical issue at all. To your questions, the password safe can store passkeys as well. The entire point is to

The main point of this article is that good implementations are few and far between Most of my banks don’t support it at all, but the few that do still require SMS as a recovery mechanism. So it’s pretty pointless from a security standpoint

I remember the backlash to livejournal among the web forum community that I frequented over a decade ago. Little did we all know that in just a few years the entire internet would pivot to the most inane, short-form, self centered and low i
