Anyone who is not explicitly privy to a fully bespoke, end to end encrypted data transmission and retrieval system has no way to determine the function or purpose of that system. It could be text, audio, video, raw signal bitstream from an

It may just be me, but I have found greater joy and satisfaction working in Go compared to any other language. I believe this is very important when considering the finite and decreasing time remaining in my life. Sometimes "good enoug

Sounds interesting, but their page appears to be broken for mobile. They have something hijacking the scroll behavior making it near impossible to actually read anything about this. Why do web devs constantly have the need to break decades

Weeds are just unwanted grasses, flowers and hedges. Sounds like you like all of your lawn plants, so you don't actually have any "weeds." That's how I do it too. It's the right thing for our planet.

Thanks for the link. I'm not a marijuana advocate, but from that article it sounds pretty plainly like so many other stories of law enforcement effectively stealing cash because they can, and are often instructed or incentivized to do

I am a satisfied Apple user, and have been for over 30 years. I have never contacted Apple support. Not once. Yes, really. Unfounded claims are unfounded. Sometimes devices break, sometimes they last for 20 years and keep on humming. Also f

It would be nice to have some generic/universally accepted syntax for fuzzy/non-fuzzy(?) search behavior. e.g. something like "exact match for this string" and ~(similar or fuzzy match for this string)

Indeed, AI is immensely useful! I use it every day too. However, it's been my experience that finding original works, perhaps that I can cite as a source, is somewhat difficult when the computer might confabulate both the content and t

It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine. All I want to do is search. No AI. No ads. No shopping. Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own origina

Kagi does zero advertising, only word of mouth (or from social news sites). I would strongly bet their primary source of customers came via a HN referral. We are literally their Target Customers.

Can confirm. Spent the last 5 years at 2 different startups. Presently unemployed and broke due to literally worthless equity.

What should they be relying on instead? Maybe rsync everything to an FTP server? Or Torrents? From your other comments, you seem to think no one should ever use GitHub for anything.

Garbage LLM generated SEO spam.

As a contrived example... If you train exclusively on AGPL source code, the probability of generating something identical to AGPL licensed code is likely non-zero. This is a very important question.

Maybe a shorter trial would work? Personally I only need about 30 minutes with a code autocompletion LLM to see if it will do what I want without pissing me off (and maybe even making me smile!)

Not OP, but some "problems" actually aren't. More often, I'm looking for an easier / faster / better way to something I'm already doing, either because I want to do it _less_ (e.g. pay monthly bills) or I

Disagree. It's never too late to start doing the right thing in matters of mother nature. In this case, it's taking care of the riparian environment near the mouth of a river. It doesn't always have to be about human interest

What do you define as "Legacy?" I groan every time I come across a Maven project, which AFAIK isn't quite yet "legacy." What about dependecy management, testing, building, and all of the other non-java-code bits? Gr

Calling a Mac Studio equipped with 192GB of RAM "consumer grade" is a big stretch. "Consumer ${thing}" to me is somewhere =< $3000.

This is only true for certain workloads. Specifically, workloads that you can put behind a load balancer. One huge advantage of FaaS infrastructure like Lambda is when your workload doesn't need to process >1 rps. Lambda, for exampl

Hilariously ironic, with a sufficiently large cloud footprint, things like BGP (and more/other internetworking protocols) and OpenZFS become required skillsets. I have firsthand experience of this. :)

4gb was good in 2005. 16gb was good in 2015. Personally I won't use a computer (as a daily driver) without 64gb of RAM today. Everything eats memory like it's going out of style.

My magic crystal ball just showed me that they're going to use your email for training AI models. They're just trying to catch up with Google in any and every way they possibly can, users trust, privacy and security be damned.

Exactly this. 45 minutes at 65mph is plenty far away for just about everything mining related with the sole exception of considering watersheds. Watershed impacts are actually what killed gold mining in the California foothills - there&#x27
