For sure! Web attestation is the gateway through which we will close off the web, and Google's already proposed it.

I don't have a good answer for you, I'm afraid. I'm gonna be looking into alternative stores that still allow you to download the files. I've never worked with Kobo before, but I heard that that could work. Google Play c

+1. I have two Boox devices and they're both excellent. One is a 10 inch reader that's quite thin, and the other is essentially the equivalent of an e-ink phone. Where to buy books is still a challenge for me, though. So far I&#x2

Dude, you're basically arguing that we should bring the equivalent of App Store review process to people's chat history. You know that automated and human reviews are an absolute nightmare for people to navigate and errors are mad

He's referring to the reality that AI helps you pick up and finish tasks that you otherwise would have put off. I see this all day every day with my side projects as well as security and customer escalations that come into my team. It&

My personal project output has gone up dramatically since I started using AI, because I can now use times of night where I'm otherwise too mentally tired, to work with AI to crank through a first draft of a change that I can then itera

Yes, I love this idea. I've heard it framed as "Transparency for the powerful and privacy for the weak."

This sounds correct to me. Cory Doctorow wrote explicitly about how Kagi uses Google's own index, but just presents the results in a more useful way, which validates everything that you're saying. > In other words: Kagi is a he

I don't understand what's bizarre about it. When you're putting out a press release about something, you want the public to know about it for some reason. And the U.S. Secret Service met with a huge number of outlets and did

Are you just re-emphasizing your point? I was trying to point out another differentiator that many people commented on at the time.

Played and beat on an OLED deck, twice. Extremely playable. 30fps or higher almost all the time, handheld and docked work great. It's the #10 top most played game on Steam Deck. https://store.steampowered.com/charts&#x2

Speed. Altavista, Dogpile, Metacrawler and the rest were slow, and Google felt instant.

One of the challenges here is that there are a lot of explanations that might be completely reasonable that cover all of the weirdness, but it feels like there's too much of it.

You're glossing over the fact that the journalist is not technical at all (she covers policy stuff) and so she can't be adversarial at all in the technical realm. But she's also not adversarial in any way I can see. Off the

That single paragraph is the weakest part of the article, IMHO. The other observations are quite well-taken, I think, including the observations about the experts cited in the article.

> But a large part of this is completely unsubstantiated speculation that people are nodding along with, which, in my opinion, is showing a breakdown in the ability to comprehend logical or evidence-based arguments. This is how I feel ab

This is exactly right. Another note: they tried to time the announcement with Trump's speech - the actual devices were found weeks ago. The NYT article mentions August in the same sentence it mentions the 35 miles. The cherry on top i

Everyone is talking about curves, but no one's talking about how the axes are labeled. Based on common usage of the term learning curve, I had thought of it much like a power curve where the y-axis is the amount of cumulative effort yo

The jail time wouldn't be for using AI. It would be for submitting a document to the court that would have gotten an F in any law school. Sort of like recklessly vibe coding and pushing to prod. The cardinal rule with AI is that we sho

I think this thread is an example of a fascinating class of miscommunication I've observed on HN, but I want to say it out loud to see if I'm understanding it. Two people meet in an HN thread, and they both dislike the status quo

Ah, I miss hg. Another cool aspect is that because it was written in Python and available as a library, I was able to write a straightforward distributed wiki based on hg in a single Python script. So much fun.

Not OP, but I think SimCity 2000 has a certain charm to it, but if I had to pick my favorite from the series, I'd say SimCity 4 is the way to go. It's available on GOG.

Even with no cars, we'd still need roads. The majority of the wear on them isn't from passenger vehicles.
