I had my PS2 stolen from a dorm at the other SD university. More security cameras would have been a great thing at the time.

> A crumbling pension system AFAIK the pension system is quite well invested and can continue for many decades even with current trends. Where do you get that it is crumbling? There is a silly law forcing recalculation of pension payment

I've never considered them a hypebeast, just a scam to get investor money as easily as possible. They seem to be quite successful really.

Isn't the big drawback not having a swappable GPU? Perhaps that's not as important anymore but I'm not sure we've confirmed the market demand for that.

Yeah, while the world is mostly clickbait at this point, "magically makes them eligible for inclusion in the S&P500" is probably some of the best (i.e. worst).

I want to buy an index with generally fixed rules. I don't know enough of the topic to know how bad it is but if Nasdaq is literally manually tweaking SpaceX's weight, just because? Then it's not buying the market.

Can see moving parts into a new case as being just a transition, and then replacements from there continuing the treadmill. But it would have been much cooler if you were still on the 486 era case :D

20 years now but rikaikun / chan were great at the time and I suspect still are for learning. Hover over the words you can't read, no corner cases really since it shows all the possible readings and meanings, not just one. I would

Don't want to discourage or anything but is this mostly pattern matching? Most of the comments here seem to be about corner cases "added to the model", which doesn't feel that novel. Naturally, context-aware is all about

I can think of one - Calbee is taking advantage of the situation to get massive, free TV time. On top of that, their product will be cheaper to make. In terms of a marketing coup, this is probably one of the greatest examples. No other pack

Yeah it was quite weird seeing "Many of these companies don't even have an external API!" given MCP is literally a protocol for an external API. Not a good one in my opinion but it indeed has mindshare.

This doesn't sound like Claude at all to me. Which is a good thing but wonder where that came from.

No tricks I'm sure. Commencement speeches, like most, are scripted. There was already a point prepared about pushing towards less populism (my take, I haven't seen the script of course), the interesting adlib here is having to get

Not about the article but I have the exact opposite impression of HN treatment of Japan. It's largely expats complaining about living in Japan or Westerners comparing Japanese values to their own and always concluding the former is inf

Even if you actually rape someone, if you settle with the victim jb cash, the charges are dropped. Something that really needs to change but seems to not be going so well. Not saying that's what happened in this case by any ways, just

Interesting - this was randomly in my feed but indeed today, I upgraded my server and didn't know at the time why all the apt requests were so slow. That being said, it sped up to full over time - I wonder if this is actually an effect

Wonder if anyone will sue when they end up on a pornographic Twitter or racy Instagram account, which presumably can't be blocked (hope they don't require installing a root cert...).

I wonder - has it been confirmed that no LLMs for PRs literally means no AI assistance for code? While I haven't codified it anywhere, the policy I would like is for issues and PR descriptions to have no LLMs - there is no reason to ba

I have reread this several times but might be missing so I am begging the question, what exactly makes the LISP syntax sugar for something that isn't a stack machine? Or did I misread that? If not, I think the OP is making the same poi

Zen is great and still mostly Firefox. I use standard Firefox on Android and everything syncs without hassle. The experience is so much better that personally cannot imagine using Chromium anymore. Of course I do wonder if the entire Firefo

Is it just me or is 1 year excessively short for qualifying for PR? I'm a bit unsurprised that it results in less leniency in applications, there are probably just too many applications because the thresholds have gone down (not saying

Unlike banks, many services, some Rakuten subpages, etc requiring full width, I have found real estate sites (purchase, not rent) to be the most likely to accept half-width roman characters for the name input box.

I don't know how verifiable it is, but the general narrative has been a lot is Chinese parking their money outside the reach of the CCP. I've never quite understood the mechanics of this though.

Really great to see this whole thread after so many questioning looks from people on why I use codex instead of Claude which generally doesn't work for me. I never thought it was about particular usefulness for low level vs high level

Ouch - "every Mac" from the original post is a hallucination then. I can live with the writing style when the topic is interesting (here it was for me) but complete untruths are much worse.
