This proposal made complete sense and the counter argument was of such a tiring kind. I see that from time to time in these old standards mail threads. I can't put my finger on it, but perhaps it is that they only saw the "now&quo

> and recently blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline (in a covert operation no less) The truth is, there is no public common knowledge about who did this. So unless you are leaking confidential information here, you are just speculating.

What would be even cooler would be to let GPT4 summarize everything, not just rank it.

I have this one. I did not use it for a long time but after I moved into it, the touchpad was very shaky. Once in a while the cursor jumped all over. I found I could disable it with an xinput disable command, but that was just a temporary r

It is interesting to read about it proposed in 2014 https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlit... Hipp: > You used the word "immense" which I like - it is an apt description of the knowledge a

Not especially probable. What examples exist of a big company abandoning Europe for its legislation? From time to time you hear suggestions about it but I cam't recall it happen. That market is too valuable to leave alone.

Imagine a future where everyone learns from AI instead of books because it is more convenient, faster etc. You would get the same info, but you would not know who was the expert that you learned from. How would that change society if all au

The "problem" (not really a problem in my opinion, but the main contributing circumstance) is that we all speak different languages. We can all communicate with each other using a few common languages but the majority have another

Strange take. First of all, since we have this huge wealth disparity in the world, it is not surprising that a company that targets the very rich can make huge profits. Second, what does the most valuable company say about all less valuable

Why should it not be legal? Exactly what is wrong with it and how would legislation that forbids it but allows other M&A activities look like? I don't see a problem.

What kind of dictator are you talking about? Roman-style, where it could be time limited, or the modern version, of which there are many terrible examples before power transition becomes an issue?

The link about how he aborted the race is well worth reading. From Wikipedia: Kanakuri pulled out midway through the race and was cared for by a local family. Embarrassed from his "failure", he silently returned to Japan without n

I know less about Watergate than probably 99% of HN readership, but I recall a source Deep Throat, and a wikipage seems to confirm your thoughts on this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate)

Is it surprising that a newspaper admits it protects it's sources? I don't get the concern here.

Suggests? I could have suggested that too. It does not take much thinking to do. Is there a ladder of words used, where proves is highest? If so, where does suggest go?

To me it helped. Granted, I had some economic security beforehand but it helped a lot with my depressive mood.

It is like pristine snow in that it does not have traces of human activity all over it. But in contrast to snow, it changes very slowly, and no weather to smoothen out traces either.

It will become so ugly once exploitation starts. You know the pristine look of a field with new snow? To compare with once there are footsteps and tire tracks everywhere? The moon's beautiful undisturbed dust will become an ugly mess a

I didn't know they used containers in cars. I guess it makes sense when you think about it but it always felt like more of an "enterprise" solution to me.

Dropping traffic from the TV's MAC address in the firewall shodo the trick, no? Or perhaps it changes over time?

As a Swede I disgree on the strongest. What do you want to be neutral about? That time is past us. We belong in the company of European democracies that stand together against authoritarian aggressions.
