Comparing it to a MacBook misses the point. The reason to buy the framework is modularity, repairability, customisability. You can upgrade your CPU, add specific ports you want, change ram. You can't do any of that with a Mac.

At least pulseaudio is pretty much dead now and we have pipewire.

Turns out it's what they said it was all along, an educational device.

Wow. I'd expect that from Singapore or UAE but finding it happen in a fairly developed Western country is a surprise.

"The total impact to Air Canada's planned capacity is roughly one per cent of annual available seat miles, it added." Seems like a non story.

I don't live there now but I did for a long time. The original comment was "I think that though we are a railway company, we consider ourselves a city-shaping company." Kyoto is absolutely not built around its station. Walk a

It's actually a bad example - there is barely anything around Kyoto station except a few hotels and some shopping malls. The main shopping/entertainment area and almost all tourist attractions are north of it, requiring connection

You missed the boat, baskets that open out into a giant play mat have flooded amazon and temu. Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toy-Storage-Organizer-Lego-Play/dp/...

The main reason it's doing well is because it's basically Disney. Freezers in Japan are tiny and nobody buys in bulk. The experience of going there and buying huge packets of stuff, sharing with friends/family, wrapping and f

I find the resistance to be a hindrance when typing. Fastest typing speed and comfort for me is my thinkpad keyboard which uses scissor switches with a very low profile - you need less effort per keystroke!

That is a fair argument. I don't know why they dropped out of favour - price? Noise?

It's the dvorak of git... Maybe more efficient but incompatible with everyone else and a very loud vocal minority. You can find this pattern again and again. How many redditors say 120fps is essential for gaming or absolutely require a

I use Gemini CLI and given the might of all their engineers and AI tools, the features they ship are constantly buggy and broken. It's so easy to pump out borderline useless functionality with AI that nobody is actually testing or desi

If I understand correctly, you had 30 working panels for the core functionality. You then vibe-coded an additional 486 new panels that use fake data? That's not quite how you presented the project in the title.

I reminds me of very early ChatGPT with mostly correct answers but some nonsense. Given its speed, it might be interesting to run it through a 'thinking' phase where it double checks its answers and/or use search grounding wh

"a Google hater mis-interpreting something and the posting ragebait." Isn't exactly a thoughtful comment either. It's exactly the kind of no facts baseless accusation that you claim to be tired of seeing.

The textbook thing was a non issue when I was in college. Previous year books were sold on to the next year, and lecturers gave us page numbers for at least two editions. I think all of the books for my year were about $150, not just one. N

Everyone knows it's illegal in the UK and Ireland. They also think they won't get any punishment. Which is the point of this judgement.

Eliza was 1960s. In the 1990s I remember taking my friend's IRC chat history and running it through a Markov model to generate drivel, which was really entertaining.

Yeah. Nobody thinks they will pay the fine, it just shows non compliance.

The first part is true but the second sentence seems dubious to me. Did they compute that from the previous visitor numbers or something?

I introduced it to my friend (who is not technical, and has a RTX 3080), his experience was: he selected a 3:32 song, it took 10-15 minutes trying to scan it. In the end it did a "decent job of removing lyrics from the audio and provid

Or if your main sim is an eSIM, there seem to be 500GB/month business sims for effectively £2 a month online. You can't port your existing mobile phone number over, but it's fine for data. I was introduced to it by another HN

For normal people the presence of wifi on airplanes is not a problem; they can simply not use it. It's not a threat to them. I use the internet more than I'd like, and I agree that the lack of wifi (on a long international flight)
