They're cheap, effective, reliable, very easy to service[1], and parts are also readily available. I'd only choose a side-loader if I was extremely squeezed for space and water. [1] There are multiple YouTube videos of these machi

I suspect it's due to the amount of water they use (or lack thereof) which leaves a lot more residue along the drain path, along with the horizontal drum that tends to trap rising water vapour attempting to escape. Leaving the lid on a

How do you do that without the water spilling out? Or do you mean waiting for it to drain, opening it, and then refilling (along with more detergent, having wasted the previous dose)?

China became the manufacturing capital of the world because it doesn't have these regulations. It's time we caught up.

You're the idiot for believing the propaganda. The doomers were screaming about this shit decades ago. So many predictions that never actually happened.

This section of highway had one deer-vehicle collision per day. That sounds like an extreme outlier.

Just like the periodic news about a new study on a method that makes batteries last effectively forever, this is unlikely to be implemented.

Not all HN commenters; it's only a tiny extremist faction, which unfortunately is also the most vocal about it.

I remember seeing that default style long before AI. Probably where it came from. At least the default is not Corporate Memphis.

The title was perplexing enough for me.

by userbinator 7d ago
Definitely, although a bit less annoying to read than the usual level of Claudish, so it was either edited or the AI is improving.

It's a sign of the times that I'd probably think "AI-generated" if I saw those images without any surrounding context. (Maybe a few years ago, I might've thought "great Photoshop job" instead...)

Mentally autocorrected the title to "paypal cipher" and got enticed to click... More seriously, this looks like the context modeling that advanced compression algorithms do, but in reverse. Recovering the key does not settle the

It seems that within the past few years, there have been a great increase in the number of articles on low-level GPU internals/programming, which was previously a very niche subject. However, once you understand that a GPU is conceptua

I don't give a flying fuck. Ignoring the idiocy of Imaginary Property is how China is winning. It's time we caught up and then leap ahead. Everything is a derivative work.

Can't wait for someone to point an LLM at that and "open it up" ;-)

It's not. There is no evidence, just propaganda.

I say put your data up in torrents, host a few KB of plain HTML linking to them, and let decentralisation do the rest.

CF classifies anyone not using a popular browser with Javascript enabled as a "bot" This is my biggest complaint about CF. They are implicitly supporting user-agent discrimination in favour of Big Browser, instead of discriminat

The answer is probably "because SOAP was the hot new thing when they first decided to do this". Working with enterprise software is in general a horrific experience, especially that which originated in the 90s at the peak of OOP d
