counterpoint as a dev who works with k8s and wants a linux env:. I was told to get a mac when I joined and I wish I hadnt. WSL and vscode remote ssh make windows better for linux dev. the alternative is getting a parallels license. I mainly

They never ack'd the reason why they did it. My wife's phone was basically bricked, and the google offer for "free fix" was functionally worthless because the contracted companies wouldn't repair it. See many articl

In the past, I think the two party system somewhat protected against this. The complete capture of the party by trump has removed the system's ability to guard against this. Most senior republicans from a generation ago would recoil at

I want an EV and the major thing I'm going to look for is a high number of physical buttons. I have a 2008 GTI and it has a wonderful physical interface. I'm not trading it in for a giant touchscreen I have to navigate while I&#x2

Have you hired junior engineers in question? so you're bad at hiring? what's the post history here? what are you trying to sell? https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nmn.gl .

My dad was an amazing P.E. teacher at my school as a kid in the late 80s, and we did cup stacking, probably around 1990. I guess he probably caught onto it before it got really big. He wasn't a conventional P.E. teacher so he loved fin

The DoD banning an app on their network is a lot different than banning it competely in the US. I would think DoD should ban most apps connecting to their networks that aren't work related. I feel this whole effort is either in bad fa

This makes me want to hook up my email to AI to reply to all spammers and waste their time in super long email chains. If enough AI fakes were replying to these spams, it would be almost impossible for spam to work, right?

Yeah, but he wants people to hear "reduce headcount by 25% if you buy our shit!"

That's the hype isn't it. The direction of travel hasn't been proven to be more than a surface level yet.

It's draconian to have some upper limit on wealth? what if a small number of people managed to, legally, extract wealth to the point where we all became vassals? (Or is that what we've already gone very far towards?)

I think the study was talking about teens, which is actually ridiculous because I think most teens are on their phones 1000% more than adults, and a survey of teens saying their parents don't listen enough is hilarious. But I identify

Are you a parent? Do you know any parents? Do you know any drug addicted parents? Do you know any parents with smartphones? The analogy you made is just terrible hyperbole and counterproductive to any real conversation.

Did you think their implementation was good? It seemed super naive and clunky to me. I think its potentially a huge problem that when you ask an image generator to show a person, that person is almost always white, unless you give some huge

Gemini's heavy handed racial diversity is a funny (to me) clumsy and ridiculuous mistake, but there are tons of way more insidious things since "don't be evil" ceased to be the motto. This doesn't even rate.

It has been done for millions of years, within small tribal groups who all collectively observe child rearing from within overlapping multi generational families living in close proximity in a group of dwellings connected by walking paths.

It's a technical achievement, and the headline reads like a breakthrough. I completely understand why people's trust has eroded in media, and especially in science.

How though? You don't need an LLM to copy and paste a Disney character and post it on a million websites. An LLM returning an output isn't the same as publishing something. It's not being redistributed by virtue of just bein

Even to me, as a tech person, the level of SEO allowed to infiltrate google results seems way out of proportion to what they should allow. There are several obvious URLs that always come up with "top 10 lists" that seem wholly des

I don't think any amount of lawsuits is going to prevent AI from replacing many of our jobs. We're all going to be in squarely the same position as these artists within the coming couple of decades. There was a conversation betwee

Do you always remember to run every test? Does every other dev? Are there 100 other devs? If you check in bad code will it break something for 100 other devs? It all depends on the size of the org.

I've worked in k8s hybrid cloud automation for the past few years, and it requires deploying a k8s cluster, installing our services, and then running tests against the cluster. Our pre-merge pipeline takes 3 hours minimum and often muc

Based on what I can tell, their data is solely based on whether they "reported living in a home". This sounds like extremely bad science. I can easily see someone reporting whatever they think you want to hear if you're givin
