Btw, Germans have no problem with pronouncing the letter L (before a vowel, anyway)

It's amazing just how many stories of Rob Pike seem to show him being both a dick and wrong

There's so many comments here railing against Android but... I can't recreate this at all? With Android 16 on a Pixel 7 using the Google photos app, if I tap the rotate button 8 times it dutifully queues the animations and ends up

i mean, i definitely agree and am somehow allergic to seeing llm written text from other humans (you typed a prompt! why not just post it directly? i'd rather have bad spelling and grammar than llm slop). but... while i feel i can dete

Weird to make reading zshrc supposed unsafe when I happily publish it in my public dotfiles repo... Who the hell keeps API keys in it? OTOH it seems like lots of these AI tools keep appending PATH in it so I guess there's a fundamental

Then as a California resident you should presumably be googling instead about the CCPA and the right to delete :)

I can't stand this and will actively discriminate against comments I notice in that voice. Even this one has "Not because [..], but because [..]"

Why? This is asserted throughout this HN thread as an obvious truism, but it seems precipiced on some dramatic right wing free market concept of how the world works that I can't tell is coming from the libertarians of hacker news, or i

Are you arguing for or against capitalism here?

Allowing something isn't the same as enforcing it to be allowed. If there's regulation, like with ending roaming charges between countries, then it's required to be followed simultaneously across the EU. If there's a dir

Yeah but if you fuck it up it's a much bigger deal

Good thing then that there's a range of options between being let go immediately for no reason and companies being forced to employ bad employees for life.

I feel I just need to run a slightly too large LLM with too much context on a MBP, and it's enough to slow it down irreparably until it suddenly hard resets. Maybe the memory pressure it does that at is much higher though compared to L

Also, anecdotally they are more popular amongst less price sensitive people with disposable incomes, where paying for the convenience is worth it. But also, definitely not the Ocado model.

The database is Postgres, and the schema is quite sensible. You can (and I have) write normal SQL queries in psql to modify the data. It might not be as easy as rsync to transfer data out, but I would trust it way more than some of the fold

To be fair, given the context I would also read it as a derogatory description of an LLM.

Part of the issue is that the landlord gets any say whatsoever about a public utility.

This is less to do with claude and rainbows and unicorns, and more to do with whatever your chat context before this request looked like. IMO you should be regular cleaning out your context, and use something like https://github.

I mean if you skip the traditional publishing gates, you could in theory endorse articles that specifically bring out sections from other articles that you agree or disagree with. Would be a different form of article

Why would that affect anything? The Chinese Android ecosystem is already split from the Google one.

Well exactly, I'm pretty sure that's what the GP is getting at — it would be a surprise if Rust didn't have good JSON support. Which it does. So it's unlikely to be the bottleneck.

440Hz is an A (and most people don't have perfect pitch anyway). Otherwise, I completely agree.

But you don't need it for Android... Can happily install uBlock Origin on bog standard Firefox there.
