I've ported complex applications (not as complex) in about a month. So I could see someone already deeply familiar with Firefox and we assembly to get something working in a month or two, which 25k covers in almost all markets.

But the fact remains that those individuals are few. Whereas any schmuck can get Claude to do it (no offense to OP) so at this point I don't even think the money argument is worth discussing even it comes to LLM. For the majority of people a LLM is the difference between being able to do something or not being able to do it.

Why do you say it's worth it before you've even read it, let alone seen it?

People who absolve engineers of all responsibility annoy me to no end. They're omnipresent on this forum and justify working for Facebook with things like "not my decision" or "someone else would do it" or "it's not that bad you just don't understand" or "I'm just following orders"

Matter of any kind interacts with radio wave on some level. You might be thinking of how radio waves in the bands and power used for cellular don't have a negative health impact. But they still 100% interact and the human body, being both dense and conductive, absorbs radio waves beautifully.

Hopefully, it has improved since then, but I haven't checked.

Good news then because you're currently in a thread about how FUTO has improved!

Qwen 3.6 9B doesn't exist.

If you meant 3.5 9B and you truly believe it's as good as 4o then I can only assume you have a very basic use case.

VS Code is updated monthly. More and more they also release a bugfix to the monthly release, a week or two after.

Your analogy falls apart because the "lazy bastards" still knew how to program and understood the code they were working on.

Vide-coders often don't read, let alone understand, the code they send for PRs.

Heh that’s a very low bar though

This is a low bar: ?

communities with as high of a signal-to-noise ratio and breadth of experiences as HN, especially not public ones that one can stumble their way into without knowing a guy / joining a clique

If this is such a low bar, then how come there's only HN? Can you name another? 10? 100? Because I can't.

Just because you disagree with a law doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You anti copyright shills are exhausting... Why can't you try to attract people to your side to eventually instead effect some real change? Do you just take that much pleasure in being an edgelord that your cause be damned?

Please do tell us of that mythical leader who is so good at governing that no other country has ever had a grievance with them?

Disabling notification preview in the operating system settings doesn't prevent the issue, they're still saved in the database.

The only way they're not saved is to disable name/content in signal itself.

Maybe you're not as capable of elementary logical inference as you thought?

Any application can send notifications without going through a server.

It's entirely possible to ship malware in source form... Just look at the numerous supply chain attacks. Nix is a cute project but entirely irrelevant here.

I'm surprised that this is the best NYT investigative journalism could do. It's well written and comprehensive, but it also contains no new information.

And I truly mean it, all the proofs listed here are so well known that you're likely to learn just as much by watching one of the hundreds of "Adam is Satoshi!!1" YouTube videos.

Given the title (a quest!) I would have expected some personal findings to be added to the shared narrative, not just rehash of the first 2 pages of a Google search.

I have been the service provider who had to paywall just to stop the spammers and you're right. But it's also true that kids will be collateral damage (or anyone without a credit card).

In my case, and it was the 90s, I took the time to setup a way to pay by calling a premium (1-900) for $1.49 number so the barrier to entry even for kids was still reasonable.

Maybe in modern day the equivalent is adding Google pay and Apple pay then you cover some kids at least (gift cards and such).

Quite the hassle for the provider, and it will turn away any person who cares about privacy. There's no way to win anymore.

It's very gracious of you to let us fill captchas without signing up first.

Buried in your prose is certainly a point shared with your average website visitor: they want the information, they don't want to be wowed with complex animations. But they also don't want no styling. There is a middle ground between looking like lynx and having some flair.

Maybe I'm not normal

You definitely are not normal, if we define normal as "the vast majority of people". If web developers took your feedback seriously it would be detrimental to the experience of almost everybody. But I think that you knew that.

Most of the opposition to women in the army comes from conservatives, not from feminists. They imagine themselves injured in the trenches in need of being carried by a fellow soldier, and they conclude that women are too weak.

Fair? No. Par for the course? Unfortunately yes.

Your bad attempt at humor makes it quite clear that you've never dealt with network engineering or administrating to any extent.

Admitting that ipv6 has some downsides, however minor they may seem to you, won't hurt your quest to render ipv4 obsolete.

In fact being less insufferable is how you win people to your causes, not by laughing at their genuine albeit minor issues.

I can pay 529 EUR to get a new mainboard and keep the same case/battery/speakers/camera/keyboard/mouse/screen/etc.

Or you can spend 50 euros more and get an entire new laptop that is not only much more powerful than your old framework but is almost as repairable: the neo.

At some point your argument begins to work against you, you should just have talked about the keyword repair being cheap. Not how you can get a new motherboard for "only" 530 euros.

Fair enough, let's use dvd rips as a metric instead. They tend to begin at 700MB.

So by reading this article on PC gamer you've now downloaded the equivalent of a full-length movie worth of low quality code and ads.

WebUSB is incredibly useful to flash firmware and update configuration on random devices.

The alternative is to install random software on your computer for every device (or, if you're a Linux user, you'll likely simply be excluded and whine about it).

You're right, nobody uses video conferencing in a browser. let's kill it!

Desktop Linux might not have a unified way of storing contacts but all other major operating systems do: Mac, Windows, Android, iOS.

So if your blocker to accept this feature is that it's "difficult to support on desktop Linux" then all I can say is cry me a river.

You can move without disconnecting, you have to "drag" instead of move. Press G. Last time I tried it it just created a ratsnest of random angles wires though so you still have to fix them all one by one.

That's also why I ditched kicad, it's really a very very basic thing that every other software gets right. Wires should follow your part and do 0 and 90 angles only... Then all you have to fix are overlaps, if any.

They absolutely can generate the file tree so that each slide has its own url.

They also could use the query part on the url rather than anchor.

Lastly statically hosted doesn't mean no URL rewriting, they could again catch links to parts easily.

The poor UX of these tools is just a lack of will, not a technical limitation.

Then again hacker news should probably not blanket delete the hash in URLs either.

I've not heard many people claim that LLMs don't hallucinate, however I have seen people (that I previously believed to be smart):

1. Believe LLMs outright even knowing they are frequently wrong

2. Claim that LLMs making shit up is caused by the user not prompting it correctly. I suppose in the same way that C is memory safe and only bad programmers make it not so.

AnonC doesn't seem to be upset that the journalist was fired. The disappointment comes from Ars trying to brush this entire situation away by deleting articles, comments, and making no statement on their website.
