Regulation doesn't have to be at the level of controlling how technology is designed. It can be more creative, at the level of organizations or incentives, for example: - Require advertising companies to follow special rules, includin

I'm confused. Would the start ever have to be truly black? Wouldn't water always be driving hydroelectric turbines, generating some electricity? Solar panels generate electricity without requiring input. I understand that sync

How is the software inspected and tested for defects, malicious or accidental? I'm just very curious about how this is done.

This is really cool! How did you select the languages to support? I was surprised that you included Finnish and German yet excluded Swedish (the language I would want to use), and I'm wondering what the blockers are for the other Nor

For a project that crows so loudly about its typographic prowess, the home page offers a comically terrible reading experience. https://imgur.com/a/7uPhyTd Huge, wildly irregular word gaps, awkward hyphenation, stacked

I do think you're on to something. What if we took the approach of creating a clear legal distinction between advertising companies and non-advertising companies? For example, if you want to be an advertising company, there are limits

Ouch. That screenshot is uncomfortable to look at. The window title bars are painfully narrow, the frame borders have inconsistent thicknesses, the Start menu overlaps the taskbar, the vertical centering of text is wrong. The answer to yo

That's a pretty misleading clickbait title. TypeScript isn't getting 10x faster; the TypeScript compiler is getting 10x faster. I would argue it needs editing, as it violates the HN guideline: > use the original title, unless i

Sadly, Latinx is still used all over the place. Google turns up 94,800 instances of "latinx community" just in the past year: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22latinx+community%22&tbs=q... In fact, when I qu

Beautiful work! I noticed that when I zoom in on the Earth, the orbit line floats about one Earth radius away from the surface. The Moon is also off of its orbit line by about a Moon diameter. (This happens for me in Chrome on both deskto

Just curious, what did you donate to? Mostly GiveWell, or other charities? I'm at around 20% and trying to keep it up.

Wait, can you say more about that? That doesn't match my intuitions very well, so I'd like to understand what made it such a big difference to you. Were you using Tesla Autopilot? If I were using Autopilot, I'd have to be c

Thank you for giving away your wealth to help other people. Let's normalize this practice.

I think this where the real question is for me. When I read about MCP, the topmost question in my mind is "Why isn't this just tool calling?" I had difficulty finding an answer to this. Below, you have someone else asking

Simplicity is fine! Minimal effort is fine! But these are poorly executed. The article says the logo follows "the design language of the logos of other web technologies," but there is no design language. The text in in random s

If you don't mind educating a curious person — why are Braille displays still worth making when text-to-speech is free, everywhere, and communicates information much more quickly than Braille? I can understand that there might be spec

I would like to hear more about why you are confident the number is so low as to be effectively zero. What is your confidence interval, and what reasons do you have for your estimate and level of certainty?

To me, the much more questionable assumption is that volume is preserved when a liquid spreads out to a layer one molecule thick. There's no reason why the volume you get when each oil molecule is surrounded on all sides by other oil m

Not that surprising. To most people, pure RGB-blue looks a bit violet. People are used to ink (subtractive) blue more than light (additive) blue. People call the sky blue and water blue; both are closer to cyan. Most people think of a n

What about, instead of using AI to summarize the issue text for the developer, using AI on the _submission_ end to notice if the bug report doesn't contain enough details and ask the submitter clarifying questions until the submission

It's "fabrication", plain and simple. Fully agreed that "hallucination" is a bonkers word for it — sensational and melodramatic. But few people know what a confabulation is, and moreover it's an overly complex

It's a brilliant design choice. At first I was like "What?" and now the more I think about it, the more I realize it is an absolute genius move. People need to get trained out of (even informally) assuming they can identify

This is exactly what I do, in Notational Velocity. One file per day, duplicate at the start of each day, with regular backups. I mark completed items with a "+" and items I won't do with a "-". Simple and works gre

What does single__hyop actually do? I read the whole README and couldn't find a definition of it. Is it essentially the same as onload="..." ?
