Distribution got better for a time and then became the same old bullshit. When Netflix was the only dominant streaming service it was great. Now ever other person has their own custom streaming service and content is distributed across them

And thus microservices were spread across the unsuspecting world.

There is no realistic path to human oversight for the vast quantities of data these models are trained on. Imagine the cost of having every Reddit comment ingested human reviewed. Insane.

I'm curious about this because I've had Fable decompile games and help me understand what's going on inside the game itself and it never complained. I'm not sure what it takes to trip the "safety" guards but di

I have to wonder if everyone else is just running these models raw without any custom instructions. I hear all these things about voice and code comments and those are all things I've dealt with long ago via claude.md instructions, rul

I switched between Windows and OSX and Linux frequently over the last 20 years. The longest lived Linux experience is the one I'm currently running. NixOS with Hyprland for a desktop environment. None of the annoying opinions of KDE or

A lot of people are stupid though. The law had zero age verification in it for example, but tons of breathless conspiracy theorists are claiming that's what it is about.

The easier a thing is to do, the more often people will do it. And downloading a file and pressing print is a far, far lower barrier than machining steel.

The baseline is already being established. In the majority of US states now you have to send your photo ID to a 3rd party to access "adult content". The conspiracy theories around the California and Illinois laws are senseless giv

It's easy when you just ignore all the externalities! I'll be paying for the decommissioned nuclear plant near us for the next 20+ years through my electric rates. The plant is closed and no longer operational but still has to be

The party of "personal responsibility" literally never hold themselves accountable for anything. It's always someone else's fault.

Conservatives are the problem. Always have been. From the time they started a civil war to maintain slavery to the time they fought against women's suffrage to their fights against LGBT rights. When public sentiment turns on them too m

Step debuggers can 100% cause or hide race conditions that are exposed via other mechanisms. Especially in multi-threaded apps as I stated. If you've never encountered it, I'd suggest you've never debugged really nasty race c

My NixOS + Hyprland desktop largely has the same shortcuts as OSX. I super+space for launching things. Super+Q for quitting. Custom keybinds are trivial. I always thought KDE and Gnome were kind of garbage, but Hyprland gets out of the way

What sorts of integrations are you looking for? I use a few tools: mautrix-imessage - imessage bridge so I can send/receive messages from my Linux computers vdirsyncer - Pulls iCloud calendar data for display in my waybar. I also have

The specific reason I reach for print debugging first is it works literally everywhere across all technology stacks. I regularly work with different projects written in different languages. Printing works across all of them and the logs are

It's only ever brought up by people with absolutely nothing to contribute to the conversation. So you've got that going for you.

Nope. It's a stupid take. Especially considering over half of the US states have jumped right to looking for that verified answer but no one on HN gives a shit when red states do things. They only ever bitch and moan when a blue stat

This is a nonsense argument considering over half the states have already put actual ID verification requirements in front of "adult content". Blue states are trying to ratchet to what red states just pass? Why? They could just fo

by tstrimple 2mo ago
That and there was basically zero uproar on HN for any of the 20+ red states requiring 3rd party ID verification and or face scanning for access to adult content. But when blue states try to implement something far less privacy invasive, th

Sure buddy. None of those changes to voting are "manipulating". Counties that used to need federal preclearance closing 1,688 polling places once the Supreme Court said they didn't have to ask permission anymore is "just

Oh great. You've summoned the Sinophobes. You literally cannot say anything positive about China without these people coming out of the woodwork with their tired talking points.

Honestly this really just reflects on you and what you're capable of doing. All of my children eat vegetables. My middle daughter decided to become a vegetarian at 14. I can absolutely make sure that they do their homework. Otherwise t

Sounds like you're extremely limited in your experiences in the US. Maybe you should sit this one out? Your ignorance is not as good as someone else's lived experience. https://ncac.org/resource/timeline-of-ab
