Your article was well worth the read. Thank you for that. It's merely a HN trend where lazy people who can't read an article bad-mouth it as AI. You'll find the lazy AI comment in every article's top first or second comm

Here we go again. Commenter doesn't read an article because it doesn't fit their style. Immediately bad-mouths it as AI. Edit: typo

> Why, for you as a service provider, are passkeys not just better (or at least equivalent to) passwords? Why you missed the last line of my answer? How did you get an impression to go back to broken passwords?

It's the stupidity of Service Providers to adopt passkeys in the first place. As a service provider myself, I've evaluated and said "Nah" to passkeys - because it's simply increased Customer Service contacts I have

They are not selling the information. They are selling a service for easy access to that information. These are two different things. Note: am not an AI fanatic.

Everyone here saying about execs and so on - don't seem to catch a few nuances in this chain. 1. Bill Gates is doing the "Internal Disruptor" CEO style 2. Everyone is reacting in a way Bill Gates expects them to react 3. The

It's the inverse. We created a world for introverts only in the last ~50 years, where people can spend all their time in an office desk not actually talking to anyone. This was never the case in any of human evolution before. It's

I treat any organizational theory that has a unidimensional view - like coordination is a good-to-bad slime mold – as incompetent, or at worst, corporate sabotage. Any active product or business development - builds product/domain&#x2F

Ops here. Don't use musl if you care about disk size or compatibility either. For reference: docker.io/node:26-alpine - 61MB docker.io/node:26-trixie-slim: 84MB gcr.io/distroless/nodejs26-debian13: 55MB Before this

Yep. The system in general is great for treatment, but fails for diagnosis. It takes them a long time to diagnose, sometimes years. But once they manage to do it, then they bring in all the heavy artillery and the health care machine works

There is a reason for it. WebP was designed for a narrow-use: optimize for web. It doesn't support HDR, limited color gamut. e.g. All the devices that you use today are taking and viewing HDR pictures, or Print workflows, webp has no r

Depth. Wider color gamut, HDR, the things our devices now capture and render. And it supports animation by default, so the "motion photos" will be natively shareable. Also, recompressing JPEG as JPEG-XL gives a free boost, so simp

by rdsubhas 1mo ago
JXL is one of the technologies that I hope we can fully transition over, i.e. in a couple of years nobody (even non-tech-savvy people) are sharing or copying or saving JPEGs.

How do you folks code at 40-50 tps? With an extremely lightweight harness (pi) and just 8k system and tools context, and ~40tps on qwen 3.8 27B 4-bit on low thinking mode, it still takes me nearly 30-45 mins for a basic coding session... Do

This is exactly my point. I've been writing with those dashes (em or en, whatever, just Alt+hyphen on mac instead of two hyphens). And now this is what people and tools use as the judging symbol for AI? That's just one example, AI

by rdsubhas 1mo ago
AI is trained on human data. And high quality human data at it's best. Can we assume everything we think as AI - must have had a high-quality human pattern behind it, and there is no way to 100% prove which is which - unless the author

I'm seeing a worrying trend on HN. Nearly for all articles, there is one unquantified, unproven comment at the top saying it's 100% AI — no proof, just baseless emotion of what fits the commenter's writing style. This is the

I'm on-call all the time, and the first thing I've taught myself is to not glorify it like some superhero saves the day worship. I'm both proud and (slightly) ashamed each time I handle an incident. It's not a virtue. Ho

I have to disagree with this as off topic. The blog lists ways to optimize sqlite for production, for those who have already made that choice. But these comment links are about choosing sqlite vs others and differences, which is completely

Looking at the link, it was quite an eye-opener moment (atleast for me) to see so many language-differentiating features - exceptions, async/await, continuations, generators - can all just be abstracted into one concept called "ty

Noone can discuss in good faith if the argument is: "If generated in bulk by vibe code" >> "what if I generate word by word with autocomplete". This is IMHO the reason why we can't have sanity, because there a

Yeah the problem with EU is that once "compliance" becomes the only reason, lethargy kicks in. Their players stop competing because they have no incentive to, the compliance will keep them afloat. I would assume the same here. If
