I'm assuming it's Sherlock Holmes and the case of the rose tattoo! What a brilliant game. Believe it or not, thanks to ScummVM being in the iOS/iPad OS App Store now, I have actually played that game on my iPad. You'd be

It is entirely possibly that they're not being truthful. Your registrar is public information, there's not a lot of reason to believe that the information did actually come from them. Unless you've literally not given that nu

This is the sort of low-effort thing that makes people roll their eyes at AI. A simple GPT chatbot? That's it? It's not even some sort of orchestration system akin to Devin and the like, where it can do/process stuff as an in

I don’t even really understand why things have to be notable for Wikipedia. If people wanted to maintain all of the Runescape articles in Wikipedia (as mentioned by nouser76)… why not? Why not have Wikipedia literally be the central place f

The most surprising thing to me about this is just how... common these market moves are. Seeing so many big swings, even in the early days of the country, really drives home the idea that actually, things aren't as bad as they always s

It is entirely possible that the hospital knows what happened and why the person died, and are just not sharing it (maybe to respect the family's privacy, for example). Having said that, I do think you're right, the cause of death

> “As a company, we’ve been deeply tied to AI since our inception,” This kind of statement is just so weird. Really? They were deeply tied to AI in the 80s? When they were launching their first games and calling devs “software artists”?

One example of boilerplate that I've been automating is when you're creating model code for your ORM. I paste the table definition into a comment, and let the LLM generate the model (if the ORM doesn't automate it), the list

In the example I gave, it was just porting the same view code from one framework's way of writing view code to another. It's a one-off task involving hundreds of different views. There's zero technical challenge, almost no lo

Personally the use for me has been in writing boilerplate. As an example, one of my ongoing goals has been to port all the view code of a project to another framework, following its idioms. Using an LLM, I can process a file in a couple of

That looks -very- nice. What's your experience been with it, do you use Plex or anything like that? What do you mean 'can't go back to transcoding'? What have you been using that doesn't transcode?

I've seen this criticism a lot here in HN, and it's something that's always concerned me. There's a CloudFlare "essentially off" option that I've always hoped would make a difference when it comes to that.

While I agree with that, a general CPU benchmark would still be of use to compare different VCPUs. More use than what we have right now, which is only Amazon’s marketing claims. As an example, a t4g.nano, a t3.medium, a c6a.large and an r6i

I'm on 14.4 and using Jetbrain's IDE. So -this- is the reason my IDE randomly crashes. I'd been chalking it up to 14.4 but didn't have any specifics. It's mostly fine, though. The crashes are rare, and since everyth

Yeah, I’ve seen that as an option but haven’t given it a try yet. Might be a good time to look into it.

I’ve been using Postmark’s DMARC report collector[0] for more years than I remember, and it’s great - you get a count of all the emails that passed SPF/DKIM, and a list of the ones that didn’t. Easy to spot any problems, and I don’t ne

In the UK, I’ve had a cheap HP printer for several years, with their subscription, which delivers ink cartridges when needed. It’s free up to 15 pages per month, at which point I believe it’s £1 per 10 pages, ad-hoc. I very very rarely prin

I agree with you - I've seen this in other countries, where whatever you buy, companies can have their easy-to-manipulate price, but there's -always- the price per 100g/litre, so it's always easy to compare, even across

Yep, tried Jellyfin, UX was terrible, got back to Plex. If it’s not as good as Plex, it doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not.
