I didn't answer because it's had and I'd rather not give a incorrect answer. And, I may have conflated issues: Iphone Storage < Icloud storage vs opposite way.

If Seinfeld told a backup joke: "You know how to take the backup, you just don't know how to restore the backup. And that's really the most important part of the backup, the restoring. Anybody can just copy a file!"

Amazing question with nobody really answering your question 100%. The answer is : it's hard. If you only have a iphone and more photos on your icloud than can fit on your phone, you're kinda screwed if you don't know what you

Reminds me of a story: I was sitting at a restaurant waiting for my food. I casually notice two young children in the next booth playing with a phone, but pay little attention. Moments later their dad (presumably) comes back and asks for hi

That's a good one, I can get up without hands no problems. Sitting without a thud is a bit harder. Watch a toddler move around on the ground, they are incredible flexible and strong.

For hanging as art, just found this https://github.com/dmellok/el133-pico-driver Uses a native C driver instead of python so you can run the display off a battery as it's more efficient.

I've had a number of thinkpads and nucs with vpro/amt. All the things you say are technically correct, in practice the software and feature set are horribly documented. I've spent numerous hours trying to get it to work relia

Because HN/nerds like to think of ourselves as objective, open to the truth and data driven results. Then we find out, we're no better than the average, just different topics.

MJ was not a "Black man" he was the best player of all time, That is what people see, not color. Everyone wanted to be like Mike. I swear the people arguing for this are some of the most racist thinking people, at least the Maga c

This is the naive short term way to think of a stock price. I assure you fund managers, hedge funds etc do not. And I'm sure you can reply with an anecdote, but that doesn't prove the rule of 'any stock'.

Over 50 here, I use the following as a test of someone's general balance/strength/flexibility: Taking off your socks/shoes(tie/untie) without sitting down: hard for most in their 20/30s. Very hard with out bend

Let's just say the EPA can enforce vaguely written laws starting day 0 against property you own but you had absolutely nothing to do with the issue. Vague example: You buy a house, a month later you get a demand letter from the EPA tha

You're not wrong, but I'm fairly certain that if we did have a multi party system and ranked voting, not much would be different. This is because the people on HN, Reddit etc are a minority. The views expressed here are not public

Here's a simple one, start at your state level. Talk to your state representative, should be easy enough to meet with them. What are they doing about DC water and energy level requirements in your own state.

They won't, it's hyperbole.

Where do you live so I can get that same feeling? I was in BPC during Sandy, never lost power, never had flooding. Stayed around to help get our servers moved over to DR. So yes, I remember. Thankfully, people are seeing how bad NY and CA S

It's "all politics" when you agree to a particular issue It's "regime" or "fascism" when you don't.

EPA is garbage, pray you never end up on the wrong side of one of their poorly written enforcement mandates. They will take down your life's work for something you have no control over.

And when you get to boomer age your cohert will do the exact same thing, and you will be yelling at the kids to get off your lawn, and the cycle will repeat. Ask me how I know...

You don't need to read the code manually line by line to do that. But yes, you need to know what you're doing.

Or C, agentic coders who have been doing this for 20+ years (software engineering) know what they're doing? Also, when people say 'read the code' do they really mean go line by line, or review the pseudo code? Meaning, read t

Some cars isolate the noise with speakers in the head rest so everyone gets a optimal level of isolation.

We can easily accelerate past 1g... 1g is just chosen for human comfort, but running any rocket engine continuously for a year requires an impossible amount of fuel.

Humans take risk adjusted decisions all the time, OP is still correct that LLM risk is FAR below all the ones we know and accept today. Death by Cars, Cancer, Heart disease etc...

So the crazy who committed a horrible crime is the fault of a LLM? Maybe so. Certainly there should be some protocols/laws followed here, but do you think this can extend out to cause mass damage or a singular event that should be inve

Good point, humanity chose a and the sky in fact did NOT ignite an destroy the planet. The hypothesis was very very far off from what I recall. But it's good we talked about it.

It seems the consensus in this thread [if I'm skimming correctly] is most want copyright completely removed. So in your hypothetical: you write the book and have a change of heart, I'll just copy it verbatim, slap my name on it an
