I'm not sure if this satire that I'm missing but some people consider running with a kilogram of sweat on their brow?

That has been my biggest pet peeve with scifi depiction of futuristic inputs. Why would anyone want to move _more_ not less? Better tech should be more sensitive and accurate allowing us to do more with less not the other way around. That&#

Not a shame at all when eBay still feels like 2004 but not in a good way. I'm honestly perplexed it's only 9% because it's such a terrible service in 2024. I recently tried to sell a small item on my >10 year old eBay acco

No, eforcing click-wrap legal agreements is actually possible. With basic KYC the scraper would instantly open up itself for litigation and no internet art piece is frankly worth this sort of trouble.

Extremely naive to think that any of this could be enforced to any adequate level. Copyright is fundamentally broken and putting some plasters on it is not going to do much especially when these plasters are several decades too late.

The thing is people want the benefits of having their stuff public but not bear the costs. Scraping has been mostly a solved problem especially when it comes to broad crawling. Put it under a login, there, no more AI "stealing" yo

Wow this is suprisingly accessible! How are people incorporating this aside from screensaver? That high contrast LCD screen from playdate would make a brilliant frame for these animations.

What if you got 30% discount? 2 minutes of work. If that didn't work Apple wouldn't spend so much effort fighting this.

No burn that I could notice in 2 months of use now. I don't think that's a major problem for laptops tbh. I don't use fingerprint sensors on laptops and ordered mine without on but AFAIK it does work on linux if I recall corr

I'm really confused by this post as AMD chipset is the de facto recommendation in any laptop discussion forum on Linux. AMD graphics cards are also much better on linux too so it almost seems like you got things in reverse?

I just got Thinkpad T14s Gen4 with AMD chipset and it's brilliant! The chipset works out of the box with great performance and battery (Tested on Arch and Nixos) and the 16:10 OLED semi-matte screen is a must upgrade (better than any o

The whole forum is basically drama bait. Top questions are "how do I deal with employee who slept with my wife?", "Criticized for doing my job too well" etc. None of these questions are looking for answers but instead fo

This statement smells whole lot like Dunning–Kruger.

I'm confused how is that relevant what's being carried in it? in fact the flexible synthethic backpack molds much better to variable-sized objects you'd put in it rather than giant square leather bucket.

It is if you're a schoolkid. The difference between a flexible 500gram backpack and 2kg hard edge backpack is massive and in fact not recommended by most health experts. Ergonomics matter.

Fair use is irrelevant here as no small business would ever risk court dragging even though they are in the right. Especially since breaking ToS and "business damage" are easiest attachments to any lawsuit related to digital space

AI so close to breaking the current copyright and many of us are very excited to see this finally happen! We just need not to snooze on the replacement and not fall for copyright propaganda which is already invading social media.

I enjoyed the article but like much of online content about Japan it comes off like obsessive fan service. Can you imagine carrying 1-2kg empty backpack with you every day? Just because something took long to make doesn't mean it'

Exactly this. I work at a small web scraping company (so I might be a bit bias) and any small business can collect a fair, capable datasets of public data for model training, sentiment analysis or whatever today. If public data is stopped b

XPath still rules at web scraping though often CSS selectors are better. With CSS selectors it's much harder for the user to shoot themselves in the foot with their selector design and most web devs already know them. So, really it&#x2

I think key here is that it's 100% recyclable or even reusable. The used tags could even be picked up at the exit/checkout if I understand correctly the process correctly.

So if your ISP like AOL makes all of their webpages nice and fast but competitors slower and uglier artificially then is AOL abusing their market position here? We already set the precedent here that this is market abuse. This new case is n

> no company can provide a walled garden? Or at least, not if they're successful? Yes. Why are we so ok on giving up our rights like this? "no company is allowed to inside trade/use slaves/have a monopoly" - yes!

HN's obsession with Apple feels like some twisted mix of Stockholm syndrome, american nationalism and sunk cost falacy. Truly bizare to the point I wouldn't be surprised if we find out Apple is actively astroturfing this and many

I think the argument here is that we are losing the _good_ jobs. It's like we're automating painting, arts and poetry instead of inventing the wheel. I don't fully agree with this premise (lots of intelectual work is rubbish)

Why do you perceive Altman as "slimy with limitless ambition"? I've always perceived him as being quite humble from his interviews and podcast appearances.
