Yeah instead of this slop a simple table explaining the tradeoff would have been far superior.

Yes, all of them are terrible and should have ceased to exist 10 years ago? Now is just the next best time. It won’t save the industry addicted to them of course, China has long gotten rid of them.

I think often of how all it would have taken was a bomb for the 10 or so people that years ago at some browser vendor consortium out of pure self centeredness went „nah lets fragment“. We could have saved many many collective years, electri

It infuriates me to no end that we are expected to put up with building design and technology from 1900 as a consequence of the obsession with "property values must go up" (notwithstanding the property ) and a healthy helping of

Well, it's gonna be 2027! > Maybe this building in 2026 can't assume robots are parking the cars. But we could change the city's rules now and maybe a building a year from now will be able to dedicate less space to parking

Its obviously a permanent fixture. And well, electricity by virtue of having been around for 100+ years as a mass market product has been utterly ossified, saddled with far too onerous regulations and taxes and is being driven by inflexible

Yes, that's why Cursor was very popular when actually reading model output paragraph by paragraph was still the way you used them. That's no longer the case, their use has cratered, and in fact they have been disintermediated by t

You mean organized crime like NSO Group? Sorry, governments all over the world are too busy using them to spy on opposition to care.

Again with it. You have two cameras, so you can batch 2 already with no latency hit. In fact less latency because the fake multithreading is gone. (You are not even measuring latency correctly)

But they have such great AI generated insights on their AI stories: "Many users praise Zhipu for open-sourcing GLM-5.2 under MIT with a 1M context window as a major step for accessible AI, while others respond with insults and anti-Chi

It's one thing to have 5%, it's another for Jassys utter failure in Amazon AI efforts. They are nowhere, and the former isn't gonna save the latter job.

I love that even when trying to put malware into Arch Linux AUR, the malware is still distributed through NPM. Legendary platform.

This is a lane only for bikes, with no car lane going the same direction. It's like turning onto train tracks (and if you keep going down it, you might well be stuck).

If you want to build a modern web frontend you will need to use npm. But a lot of those only ever run in the users browser where they can't do any harm. I would never consider the insanity of that ecosystem for backend work.

No, the whole point of machines is their external interfaces? A Linux VM with no interfaces is just a closed box wasting power doing math. And I think I would caution Apple to consider the lessons of WSL; having shared access to the filesys

Data center operators are in the business of selling electricity. They do not command large PE multiples. This is an even worse business, because xAI decided to also be the bagholder for the NVIDIA graphic cards. Not to mention they finance

Clever, shitty numbers and they decide to IPO at the peak of the "actually SaaS is worthless" hype. I wish them the worst, considering their business model.

Keep in mind that this is the only way to start any process . Even if you just want to launch some throwaway utility program.

Yes, Ubuntu on the previous gen Snapdragon X is still trash.

I don't need a standard for this. This is just noise. There are some people who have some sort of mental ailment that makes them obsessively want to introduce "structure" "scheme" "patterns" where it is ju

Which is a problem, because now people add Claude generated "docs" and Claude still defaults to making super verbose comments. It's inevitably outdated within days and ends up being a trap for future Claude sessions.

It's fantastic for reverse engineering like this. You still need to point it at the right resources of course (USB captures, a vendor driver binary, firmware dumps etc). And of course this mini OLED is somewhat of a throwaway feature t

I feel like German university was already well "LLM proof". Come to class or not, no ones keeping track and it doesn't matter for grade. There are regular exercises, but they are not graded; you can submit them if you want it

I think the report says they just put a little cover on the hole where the pin shouldn't go (but can).

The report on that incident says there was a hardware modification to make this impossible, to be incorporated before Jan 2023. (It also says this happened to Boeing in 2018 and they ignored it, of course)

The author doesn't give a fuck about games, which is why this article is pure slop. If you decide the LLM should write your "passion blog post", it gives off immediate "soulless Linked grifter" vibes.

Anthropic & co charge API users much more, not least to demolish the middlemen low-effort plays like Cursor and Copilot. To not own the model is not viable in 2026.

Except that whole payload-to-orbit business turned out to be a dream of SciFi readers, very prevalent on HN, not so much a real massive business. Which is why Starlink is still the biggest "customer". It's probably most inter
