Tangential - The funny thing is, broadcasting Bluetooth to multiple devices isn't a new thing at all. Back in 2017, Motorola did it on their phone [1]. No extra hardware afaik, it was purely a software solution. Of course, the company

Apart from the needless ableist/rude comment, no, they're not just popular because they're different. For many younger people (the iPhone-natives), wired is novel to them in some ways. Novel things always have some people a

(I'm not sure if you understood the Gita reference, if you did you can ignore my comment.) A better analogy isn't so much a chair made by yourself, but say you're making a chair for a competition. The only thing you can contr

Ah thanks, my bad. Looks like the data's from wikipedia for my country then. Off to wiki! Thanks again!

This depends a lot on too many factors. I'm not of your target age group, but not only me but most of my friends are similarly technically minded. Many of us were rooting our phones back in school, even though it wasn't needed of

Side note, this comment is evidently quite controversial, it went from +3 to +1. If anyone is angry at me I would like to assuage them that I am not , in fact, any owner or maintainer of anything in the linux distribution system.

Thanks! I looked at a random 2005 chart. Question, is this data generated by spotify itself, or are you using some other chart-tracking tool?

My comment was half in jest (I wasn't super serious about it.) In another sibling comment below I wrote how it's still possible to leverage this without actually implementing it.

> It would hurt a lot of productivity lol. I know. That's exactly the point. In such situations where one party (Meta) has enough money to lobby and is playing dirty, it's a massively asymmetric situation. In such cases, if y

It's pretty cool! I cross "validated" with the charts of where I'm from and the results seem to be fairly accurate. One question/request: How did you get the data, and would it be possible to filter by language or g

Honestly, like the Left-pad incident [1], getting things to go suddenly dark is extremely effective at getting people to drop everything else to fix an issue. Ideally, getting these servers to auto turn off the day this goes into effect (

Thanks for the post, really cool stuff you did! Extra thanks for making it written in a readable and approachable way! I don't have much of a background in this topic, but still managed to understand about 70-80% of it :) You're a

This thing has been going on for a while unfortunately. If I told you "Here's an "air", a vanilla, and a "pro"", what would you expect? The vanilla is base, air is lighter, and pro is nicer, right? Well, f

If only any of their former leaders and one of the most famous people ever had said something like "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will"... Well maybe that kind of company would've been aggressive abou

Same, I opened HN on my phone and was hoping to get an idea before I booted my computer up.

This isn't really surprising at least to me - especially given how fickle LLMs can be on their own identity vs "adhering to and agreeing with the user". Till the day LLMs grow a spine and can't be easily convinced to f

I forgot to mention in my comment, I also wanted it to be small. Instead, the phone I got ended up being bigger than my last phone, and hasn't (unsurprisingly) helped my RSI at all. Go figure lol.

Slight tangent, but I find it mind boggling that so few phones offer bootloader unlocking - which is essential if you truly want to own your phone. I was recently in the market for a new phone, and (correct me if I'm wrong) the onl

Can't speak for everyone but personally, I'd much rather read a slightly-imperfect human writing than an LLM that has a very artificial tone. Trust yourself! You can ask the LLM to "mention a few places where I can improve&

I wonder if anyone has any research on this field. I've often seen this myself ( too often) where LLMs make assumptions and run off with the wrong thing. "This is how you do <absolutely unrelated thing>" or "This

Is that really the case in the last few years/decades? My understanding is that any company that can (read: has enough money for good lawyers), will prefer to use trade secrets for a combination of reasons, a big one being that compe
