You definitely don't want Holland or UK in your new union. With the rise of fascism there, Farage in the UK (and Brexit was purely xenofobia driven) and the PVV, FvD, JA21 in Holland owning nearly a third of seats. The EU is getting wo

No it doesn't. A website's own preferences fall under the 'necessary for site functionality" exception. Besides how many sites actually have this as the only reason for cookies? Every time I get a new cookie banner I che

The cookie thing sounds good at first but then it shows that they rant to reduce cookiewalls by making more things ok without asking :(

Yeah I really hope they don't. It's ridiculous to throw out all the great work they've been doing.

Well in my country (Holland) I see a lot more hate. Even when I wear a rainbow wristband in June I get insulted by groups of extreme right guys. This didn't use to happen. The thing is if you're not protected you don't really

The whole "porn is a poison to society" narrative is very strong with conservatives now. A lot of them (here in Holland even) want it banned like it's Afghanistan and for everyone to have a family with lots of kids that has t

It will work for a while and then the airlines will game their systems against AI agents just like they currently do against consumers. It's just a temporary solution. A real solution would be for laws to force them to not do this. But

They are very good at talking to businesses but even more important was their installed base. As they used to say "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". They won because they were first mover, not because they were the best becau

Pretty good actually. I use adult games in steam too and I sure use it on streaming. And most people do, they just don't talk about it.

It doesn't have to be synapses but it should follow a similar structure. If we want it to think like us it should be like us. LLM are really good at pretending to be intelligent but I don't think they'll ever overcome the &qu

That's true. Most of my local models are uncensored. I don't want that prude culture pushed on me. And it also stops AI from working correctly because a lot of stuff I talk about with my friends is sexual and it's so annoying

I'm a Linux user but I don't understand the drive of Linux users for it to be a mainstream OS. If it would be mainstream it would be more commercial, the users having less agency, having no choice in desktop environment and tied t

Yes because they were embracing new markets. They've always followed this process but they made a big paradigm change at that point. This is why they suddenly "loved Linux". Because it was no longer a threat but a tool to the

I think the agentic idea is worth exploring. It could be useful. However I would want it running fully locally (on my servers, absolutely not on Azure or any other cloud) and to have full control of where everything is stored and how it wor

Agreed. I tried it 2 months ago and found the game. Also back to Fusion which is free for hobbyists anyway.

Why not use a later version? Is it much heavier? I haven't used blender much. It's too focused on animation. I mainly make more engineering style things for 3D printing. Even though it can technically do that, the interface just r

I don't agree there. These tariffs hurt the American people a lot more than they hurt us. All this is pretty much inspired by the fears of the big car companies. But we're also buying a lot less American cars, Tesla for example ha

Well, the EU is trying to undermine its own GDPR now in an attempt to suck up to Trump :( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45882203 And DMA/DSA are also getting nerfed :(

I wonder how well that conversation detection works. Does it really help in a loud environment? As a neurodivergent person I lack the innate human skill to filter voices out of a cacaphony of noise so loud bars etc are hell. There also the

Same thing though. Electron is chrome. Webview2 is edge which is really just chrome with a bit of UI sauce over it.

Yes the A yubikeys indeed. That's the original yubikey, the C version came much later. And it's still pretty rare at our work so I didn't imagine the poster referred to that. Also because the A version is much more solid. The

Then let them do that for those countries. Not for everyone. I'm not in any of those autocratic countries. Or offer an opt out in the countries where this isn't a thing. Using adb is not really great for doing updates. And also, I

If OpenAI hadn't used data from the NYT without permission in the first place this wouldn't have happened. That is the root cause of all this. I'm glad the NYT is fighting them. They've infringed the rights of almost eve

Having a stick with exposed contacts and no USB shell (like the yubikey has) is not possible in USB3 format. It requires springs on the stick itself, no chance of the easy, pretty much unbreakable yubikey format. That only works for USB2. U
