Come on, this is just contrarianism without substance. Or as we used to say in less pretentious times, "this thing is lame now".

Interactive debugging is apparently possible and was reportedly done on Deep Space One mission. One of developers involved frequents HN I believe.

Much of existing European F-35 fleet predates Trump's first term. In fact now quite the opposite happens: other options being eyed from reliable partners, even if technically inferior.

We were talking search engines here, but interesting indeed! What's the name of Neibus CEO?

You are talking about an entity whose ownership is 99.8% Russian nationals and state companies; whose employees for the most part are Russian nationals, whose main market is Russia and with very little tangible assets that can be arrested i

Even if they were anti-AI (which I don't think is true), it's not a big deal. There isn't exactly a shortage of write ups about GenAI on the Internet. There are film photography forums where digital photography is off-topic.

Lobsters is in general very anti grift and marketing. A huge portion of daily hype submissions are low signal fluff. As it happens AI the the hype of the day. Yes it is useful but also it attracts the same insufferable people who were pushi

We do not but there's a social consensus about the value people get from this taxation level. However the excess power price which is not a domestic supply/demand outcome is a lot harder to sell.

Norwegian power generation is sized for the domestic market, so tax income from selling excess is marginal at best. The power bills however have indeed crept quite a way up. This was especially noticeable in the first winter of the Russian

Yeah there's a 'delve' there but it almost feels it was put in as a taunt.

Kinda sad seeing those follow-up tweets about licensing issues years later.

Lisp Machines had versioning file systems IIRC. Kinda like on VMS. Was SCCS really that far ahead?

He was coding everything around: checking the validity of moves, auxiliary code, win conditions and on. Anything but the algorithm itself, likely for the lack of experience. Doing the thing here would have been figuring out the algorithm an

That's the convenient part. There is no shared border or waters; there is no conflicting interests to make a compromise over on the paper. They are not in a military alliance. There isn't really anything to uphold. And the pivot t

Of course it's there. Expecting all the stuff laid in 00s disappear overnight would be unrealistic. COBOL code is also still there.
