Just move the image to the top when you're talking about it. This isn't deep insight, just basic readability.

Yep, I ended up looking into this quite a bit more, and now agree with you. Evernote ratings were historically lower before the Bending Spoons acquisition. There are shady things you can do with ratings like ask whether they like they ap

I use omp with Deepseek v4 Flash and Pro. Probably put about 20 million tokens through it. I've never seen this. US-hosted versions. Opencode Zen.

Thanks for responding. It's great to hear from someone working these issues day to day, and it's the reason I come to HN. I feel like this particular line of questioning is a bit silly, with all the "Can you absolutely guaran

I had a small project that embedded the Lua interpreter in scripts as base64, which allowed me to write shell scripts in Lua, since it carried the interpreter with it. About 270k of bloat to make it work, though.

People are framing this like they're creating sustainable businesses, but if you look into the details, what they're consistently doing is stagnating on any kind of feature development, making the apps and sites more difficult to

This article is like an advertisement. Here's how they spin it: > Speaking to TechCrunch, co-founder and chief product officer Matteo Danieli said some of the scrutiny was due to the fact that products such as Evernote were genuine

Brave has integrated uBO directly into their core logic. Visit brave://settings/extensions/v2 and you can download it, even with no MV2 support. I'm not aware of any other browser adopting this approach.

The hype is a function of people trying things because no one knows quite where we're going to land. But this is two orders of magnitude more impactful then NFTs and crypto. There will always be grifters, but it's patently obvious

No, I think the car companies will have telemetry from the sensor aggregated and sent back to them. The number of times it alerts, where the driver was, the nature of the alert, the speed of the vehicle at the time of the alert. There is

I get the EU passed a law. A lot like Australia passed a law about banning under-16s from social media. Just like GDPR, enforcement is minimal. Passing laws divorced from reality does little.

It's like we live in different worlds. The entire arc of technology over the past 30 years has been to centralize, collect, and then monetize. There are tons of systems that shouldn't be doing that, but they all evolve to end up d

The result matters, which is why regulations should be considered carefully. The whole cookie fiasco is exactly that: they created a whole industry of shitty compliance and the rules are complex enough that every engineering team is like &q

Well, this is a way to up the casualty count! What would you propose countries do with veterans? Kill them all, or maybe exile them to an island? I guess that turns getting drafted into a death sentence, which it could be anyway, but your a

Yeah, the laziness of detractors in their language around "slop" frustrates me. It amounts to a constant stream of shallow dismissals.

I've done the A/B test. Costco saves my family 25% across just food, ignoring other stuff I get there (batteries, shirts, jackets, shoes, underwear, deodorant, etc.) You're pointing out that you need to plan properly to bulk

Over-consumption? That doesn't follow. I sustain my family on Costco, going once a month or so, but have to feed four people, including two teenagers that consume way more than 2000 calories a day. You keep using the word "oversiz
