I usually have the same (residential) IP for weeks on end and there's absolutely no malware or scraping or whatever the heck it is that Cloudflare thinks it's protecting against going on in my house. Yet I still get blocked or cap

Still nowhere near profits. Until @sama shows third-party audited data, I don't care what he tweets. Same for Anthropic.

AFAIK Premium allows you to download to persistent browser storage. But is it DRM-free/open or usable format?

I mean, what's the take here? Discrimination against people who can't have children? Hatred towards those who won't? Did he only encourage people of a certain race to have children? I remember listening to some interviews&#x2

So... Did this get flagged because of its content or because of the backlash?

Yeah, I pretty much agree with what he's been doing. But he's not what the average person would call 'media,' so his reach is severely limited.

If I had shovels to sell, I'd definitely announce a strategic partnership to have a huge quarry dug by hand. Seriously, is there anyone in the media keeping unbiased tabs on how much we're spending on summarizing emails and making

Isn't their ranking based on how many hits their respective pages get? Omarchy hype is happening on social media for the most part.

Why not sponsor something that is already gaining traction? Lots of posts on Omakub/Omarchy on X and reddit, so they're clearly doing something right. Linux didn't need only polish and money, it needed an evangelist with a st

ITT: some of you would rather see Omarchy fail and thus Linux desktop adoption slowed down because you don't agree with DHH's 'controversial' political views. Guess we'll have to keep waiting for someone with a &#x2

The Linux community has, to my knowledge, never had someone with DHH's outreach experience and promote a "come-to-Linux" moment. Especially after using Apple products for 20 years. Also, it has sane, sensible and appealing de

One can call into question the paucity of AI-critical posts & comments here on HN. Not much is being said about the economics, everybody's living off the hope that "they'll figure it out." And AGI is just a few hundr

I mean, I get that the tone might not be liked by everyone, but his work does raise some IMO valid concerns about the economics LLMs, which I don't see discussed around here very often. Then again, I get that AI has AI-friendly owners.
