Wikipedia should change the pop ups to feature Donald with an appeal to use his world view.

I’m not following this comment. Yes, it’s a true statement. But do you mean it changes the situation? Should your comment be read as support for them spending their money sourced through donations to defend the accusations?

Big, difficult goals can be inspiring.

So true.

Some of the space race was driven by Cold War politics.

Is it fairer to say, initiated by? Listen to Michael Collins speak on the first episode of “13 Minutes to the Moon.” “We did it.” The “we” being humanity, not nationalism.

Yes, it started with rivalry, but it lifted humanity’s ceiling. There is a lot wrong with the Apollo story (race, gender), but these issues were a symptom of the time, less a cause. These issues were reckoning against a legacy.

The goal was to show superiority, not leverage it. I wish this was the case for a nation capable of going to the moon today. Instead of leverage against shared and common issues, the goal was to better.

It’s also lovely to see the exhibition IRL when it comes, if you’re lucky enough.

When I saw it, there were narratives about the people behind the shots which made it extra special.

Weird critique. Someone builds a quality pair of lightweight scissors, and you critique it like a boastful 5-axis CNC operator.

Like the rest of us needing to edit many couple of minutes long videos, there is massive gap in the market for something lighter weight. Look at Capcuts success over Adobe: 200+ million active user per month for Capcut.

Werid that a path to getting a download is a YouTube link but here we are

The branding is unfortunate that it looks like a cassette branding - reminiscent of an inferior medium - as I’d like the EU to succeed on this.

Hard to use on a mobile with the keyboard popping over the text editor, but looks like lots of fun. Wish there was a mobile app version.

The title is editorialised and most comments are a direct response to it.

It is a very confusing title that only gets more confusing when starting to read the article

It doesn’t sound like one app to rule them all, rather you can use one of the “approved” app of your choosing. I am guessing but given the main providers are all involved, I suspect it will mean you can use their app in anyone else’s spots, and they will continue to provide the underlying contract with the council.

If you’re leaning out, spend two weeks leaning in.

I did, and learned a ton, and likely not going back to how I was before, or how I used it a week ago.

The comments in the article about not reading the agent is good but it’s more than that…

Vibe coding is for non-coders. Yet, you get a feel for the vibe of the AI. With windsurf, you have two or three files open, and working in one. It starts smashing out the multi, interspersed, line edits and you know with a flutter of your eyes, it’s got your vibe and correctly predicted your next ten lines. And for a moment you forgive it for leading you astray when you read what it said.

Yes - totally agree on side note. Took me a while to realise that firebase is now a high-level hat sat on top of GCP that you can take off, and put back on, as you please. Very neat.

It’s insanely lean to get started. But at the end of the day, its GCP underneath with GCP billing (i.e. no spend caps). The easy mode UX, and the risk of real expenditure, sit in contradiction to each other. Of course, there a very generous free tier to placate that. But things like realtime need to be used with real cost considerations, and not frivolously once you need a feature only available on pay as you go.

There is little mention of realtime on the Firebase landing page https://firebase.google.com

We likely agree that firebase is superb. But your criticism of using ‘alternative’ is unjust both in terms of the breadth of firebase, and why a competitor might target someone about to choose Firebase.

So hard to see the content sneaked in around the ads

Context for comment readers. Author switched as was looking for a non-US provider

I accepted your side quest. The first page of results are all comments on hacker news about Jamie Zawinski and where I gave up.

Do tell…

I know. Also, twisted in this comment I think.

The Musk headline was loosely tidied to someone arrested (whilst) praying *outside* and ignores the context of what was happening at the time, and for the many hours before the arrest. Minor details like that.

Happy to live in a legal systems where these devices are banned, and we can cross the road freely.

From your language, it’s clear you’re not talking from the perspective of the UK’s different legal systems.

They may matter like you say in other systems, but they are not the same in all systems.

Wow the other comments on this thread are all ironic, exaggerated, and misleading.

A little context is necessary.

“Up to” is worth emphasis. Even if in an extreme scenario a 5 year sentence was disbursed only up to 2.5 years would be in prison (and likely far less), automatic release at 2 thirds in the worst case.

It’s possible to point in 3D space with two rotation components. For example, the first two components of a UV texture.

But I agree it is helpful to think of quaternions as direction and spin.

The does video starts off with some serious hyperbole (noted for anyone reading this comment before watching the video)

I think Apple played it well to test the market on a larger scale with few hardware compromises based on cost, rather than testing the market with something cheaper, less capable, and with the promise of being better in the future. There isn’t a huge amount the Vision Pro can’t do now or could do better in the future.

This is great.

For summaries my preference-where I have the option to set it-is for a bullet pointed list over a condensed paragraph. Easier to scan and typically does better at conveying the flow of the source too.

RIP bricked Kindles during beta-testing

I wonder how many Kindles were hurt during the making of this…

The menu bar? God no. Cluttered enough.

It’s not like it’s hard to quit an app. You push Apple-Q for the app, Apple-W for a window.

What’s the point in having a window if it doesn’t need it. Do I need to check if this is the last window so I don’t lose my download, stop my render, etc. These things bite me on Windows. There is not the one way.

This stuff is so divisive. You can find seemingly a roughly equal number of people who passionately think the opposite on many of these very-different-from-windows UX choices. I’m one. The dock tells me what apps are running and available. There are other ways to find the windows, and running apps don’t need windows.

Wow - thanks.

Super interesting.

Since some people perceive discussion quality to be (relatively) high on HN

It’s really not at the moment on so many discussion worthy topics. I get it, there will be the same old tropes and opinions but HN does a great job of cutting through the noise and unveiling interesting perspectives.

I’m surprised and a little disappointed. And left wondering where to find the discussions on such topics that are worth reading.

In fairness, I don’t think paragraph 2 excludes discourse on the topics I mentioned. It certainly hasn’t in the past.

I keep reading about tech news on websites where I’d have expected so see it here first: that was a reason to ask.
