It's objectively a terrible deal. It has console specs for double the price of a console. In fact you could literally just buy a separate PS5 and Macbook Neo and spend less than most Steam Machine configurations, so even the "it&#

This comment is astonishingly uncharitable and also mostly wrong. Do better.

Might as well save your breath. You're not going to convince HackerNews commenters that there is any human being on Earth with net worth over a certain threshold who is not evil. It's just too comfortable of a worldview for people

You wrote this whole comment just to demonstrate that Warren Buffett is indeed following the law, like the parent commenter stated.

The person you're talking to literally spoke to lawyers and followed their advice. If you know better, maybe you should work in government law.

Dumping $60 billion worth of shares would tank the stock price, causing it to not convert into anywhere near $60 billion.

SpaceX paid that $60 billion entirely in stock. In other words, they traded 2% of their own inflated stock value, for 100% of Cursor's inflated stock value. This is actually a great deal for SpaceX. If they had paid $60 billion dollars

My understanding of that ruling is that, the intent of the constitutional clause is not only to prevent ticket prices from being raised unfairly, but also to prevent ticket prices from being so low that they no longer cover the cost of runn

That's a circular concern. The only reason there would be a 2-hour wait, would be because the company didn't hire as many customer support agents, precisely because they want people to use the automated systems instead.

An emulator is a computer program that executes the machine code of some system. For example, if your computer is x86, you can't natively run ARM machine code. But an emulator can. QEMU is an emulator that can run entire operating syst

"America has lost" seems to be a matter of plain fact rather than opinion. What singular goal of this Iran invasion was achieved? It seems the US has gained literally nothing in this war, meanwhile causing trillions in global econ

To be fair, the title is "I wrote a C++ ray tracer from scratch without AI", not "This C++ ray tracer, right now, contains no AI-written code" It sounds to me like there is some point in this project's history when

Its behavior is dictated by the language. The context of this thread is that someone stated that the C++ standard library sucks, and someone replied to them saying that it's just some implementations that suck, but that's separate

You can't really separate the two, firstly because some parts of the standard library interact directly with the language's syntax (e.g. <initializer_list>), and secondly because the language standard dictates things about t

You're not wasting your time; LLMs have written plenty of compilers. Compilers are easy for LLMs to work on, because their level of verifiability is very high. That is, an LLM can easily determine whether what a compiler is doing is co

Anyone who still even views this as a conservative/liberal issue, is someone who is in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby. Solar is simply a very cheap and realiable way to generate electricity. Much cheaper than gas and coal nowadays

Gotta love HN. A commenter does literally nothing other than recommend a book and the top reply is "don't recommend books to him - he's written books, don't you know that?"

I don't think the commentary being made here is that startup websites should not be flashy. Just that, maybe they don't all need to look exactly the same as each other.
