Yes, I think we agree... I think they're using it for both marketing and to test the viability of it and get player feedback, but I do expect LNF to have at least some substantially similar mechanics to NMS for this reason.

Ride share companies use all kinds of techniques to off-board drivers that they deem unsafe. This can be as simple as tracking the driving record and accidents, but they also use the accelerometer in the driver app to assess the location of

Yeah, I meant the marketing effort for No Man's Sky since that's where the money is. They need to continually attract new players.

The enhancements they're making to NMS appear to be backports from the Light No Fire engine, so my impression is that they are releasing updates to No Man's Sky as a marketing effort while the actual technical work is predominantl

Same. My side projects are coded almost exclusively with the Deepseek V4 Flash 07/31 in omp, and it recovers beautifully in every case. I'm using OpenCode Zen.

I think we're agreeing, but you seem to be spinning things: 1. BUSL does not allow production use. Additional Use Grant (optional) is necessary to allow this, and is typcially accompanied by a revenue limit, setting a trap for any busi

I can tell the world is getting squeezed. This has been posted to HN several times in the past 20 years, and it usually receives a great reception because of the hacker ethos involved, the love of lan parties, and the success in tech. It&#x

I agree with your core point that luck is necessary, but thinking that everybody works hard is simply fiction.

Yeah, I don't think building a house dedicated to LAN parties is a waste of money at all: it provides a substantial benefit for those that get to use it!

Kenton worked at Google and was instrumental in building capn' proto and protocol buffers and then went to Cloudflare and did huge amounts of infrastructure work there. I wouldn't compare Kenton to a typical dev.

Yeah, it's interesting to watch humanity graduate from "how can we delight the customer the best?" to "how can we trap the customer and extract the most from them?"

I don't listen to podcasts with ads, but my wife does, and I was in a car ride with her a couple of weeks ago, and she demonstrated something that I hadn't known about even though it's trivial. Her fast forward button skipped

The phone's reader app is quite good. I use Librera FD and quite enjoy the scroll mode. But then I'm subject to the bright screen, all of the colors, all of the notifications, and everything else that the phone brings. The calm of

I have a similar reaction from folks when I don't trust services/devices. Most telling moment was when I refused to upload my license to LinkedIn because I lost 2FA (token on phone, phone destroyed). Microsoft assured me they woul

I find the original poorly written, and it did not, for me, invite any consideration, because it didn't make much sense. "Bread to the wise"? "Riches to men of understanding?" Why would someone wise get bread, or

Nice, thanks for the explanation. I haven't run a mailing list in over ten years, so I'm afraid I'm a bit out of date on the setup.

It's a mental thing. The phone is the doorway to all the things , and the reader is the doorway to reading. When I'm being intentional about my phone usage (not always, but most of the time), I defer to devices that are focused.

Same, got it about 6 months ago, flashed crosspoint, and have since sold my entire family on the X4. The innovation of getting respectable book formatting running on ESP32 is remarkable. Impressive work.

Wait, wouldn't setting gmail.com to p=reject break anyone using legacy email-forwarding setups and mailing lists?

After many years of thinking about this, I have arrived in the exact same place. I think the SQLite team learned this in the early days, and have done very well for themselves, giving away all of their source code for the product itself, f

The freedom to host open-source software is more important than contributing back to the original project: it's where the actual value of open source comes from. Would you host your website behind Apache or Nginx if you couldn't j

This framing ignores the fact that many people pick up technologies because they want to be able to switch the vendor that is hosting it for them. If I'm hosting a LAMP stack from some shared hosting provider, it's easy for me to

I read a few dozen comments to see if I could get an answer to this in the thread, but it does appear to be a case where we're highlighting one of the risks of picking up a new license: folks don't agree on how to interpret it. I&

The actual gains will be very similar to the gains that I thought would come from projects like Khan Academy (which was also quite hotly contested among teachers when it first came out). I don't agree with your rhetorical statement abo

We've only just begun. It's a veritable certainty that LLMs will be critical to education in the coming decades. I'll check back in after a few years!

I understand your individual points and I appreciate the response. Unfortunately, I don't find your arguments compelling because you've shifted your statements as you've explained more, and the absolutes you opened with are b
