As my friend likes to say, Michael Burry has predicted 20 of the last 1 crashes. I saw some apocryphal analysis that showed you'd be beating the S&P 500 (and by a decent margin) if you bought every time he predicted a market crash

This looks really cool and I will doubtless play, if it ever comes out. Unfortunately I get Hytale vibes from this website. I don't understand the point of announcing such a project, not least with such an elaborate landing page, so ea

How does an operating system even function without localhost? This is absurd I can't believe this was caught by even a single one of the 5,000 devs working on Windows.

> the Boeing 737-800 had just 220kg of fuel left in its tanks... enough for just five or six minutes of flying Maybe I'm just unaware, but it's crazy to me that these planes burn 40 kilograms of jet fuel per minute.

While this is another ridiculous attempt by the government to exert control, there is something a little odd about an ostensibly neutral encyclopedia being owned by a wealthy, openly politicized nonprofit. When Wikipedia begs for donations,

Intuitively it makes a lot of sense. Red is obviously associated with “bad/stop/destructive” and green with “positive/go” while blue is neutral in this respect. The other colors aren’t primary and they have their own problems

I think Topological would more properly be called a "CAD startup" than an "AI startup." I know the distinction is a little nebulous but it's far more descriptive of what the company actually does . The foundation m

That was my original title but I think mods changed it because it doesn’t reflect the website’s title.

I don’t know how these were advertised when originally sold, but I think products like these ought to clearly display a minimum sever lifetime. Something like “Nest connected thermostat, with 10 years of guaranteed cloud connectivity” displ

This is a shortsighted way of seeing things. The first issue, though surface-level, is using LOC as a measurement. If Company A’s million lines of code are cleaner, clearer, and better-documented than Company B’s 100k lines, then in that ca

If Claude usage limits are this important to your life, it seems a little smarter to just bite the Claude Max bullet. Isn't an ordinary sleep schedule easily worth $180/month difference?

When are we getting Mac biometric support for extensions? I want to be able to use my Touch ID with my password manager on my Mac! Do any HNers have solutions for this (Dashlane)?

Does the author find it aesthetic or artistic to write like this? No caps, incomplete sentences, banal and faux-poetic prose? He's writing an opinion piece about software, it doesn't need to read like Tumblr poetry written by teen

Denuvo definitely does attempt to hire from the scene. It's less that they necessarily need those specific peoples' skills, but rather because there are so few people who can crack Denuvo, so hiring a single such person dramatical

Why on startup? Windows startup is already so painfully slow, especially compared to Apple silicon machines, and adding Office to it would only compound this problem. I think this problem can be avoided, while also still helping pre-load Of

This reminded me of a hilarious passage from Chapter 9 of the novel Ulysses . Stephen Dedalus is pondering a £1 debt he owed from five months prior: > Wait. Five months now. Molecules all change. I am other I now. Other I got pound.

Hierocles was a Stoic philosopher. I think his "circles of concern" idea is beautiful, and it perfectly expresses how we should treat one another: treat your neighbours and close friends like family members, treat your countrymen

Fair. I was exaggerating a little. My point is this: I spend over 100,000 minutes per year listening to music. Any unnecessary friction in the experience is therefore extremely frustrating and has a disproportionate effect on my life. In al
