The smallest violin in the world for Sam Altman, and Musk

I won't say too much about the person posting this because they got a new toy and want to use it but man this is like a certain extreme of Parkinson's Law or something as far as using up compute resources.

You got a whole data center doing god knows how much compute running billions of matrix multiplications all to solve a trivial css overflow bug in a text box. And this includes the LLM itself writing custom web-servers programs and python scripts when the best estimate guess from a google search probably would have given you the same result.

I actually like the 4.7 the most, interestingly enough. Not like you can "objectively" weight artistic output like this.

You could use the argument to justify installing functionally anything. From a key logger sending over everything you type to a crypto miner mining exclusively for google. I download a browser to browse the web. An AI agent is something else.

Biggest thing that JetBrains has over VSCode for me was their very clean built in database tooling

Well this is terrifying

the crawlers are working hard today because I got lead here just by searching for a better man page on kagi

I liked the idea of using nvim but i rewrote it with bash function for easier argument handling

  nman () {
    if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
      echo "Usage: nman <command>"
      return 1
    fi
    command nvim "+hide Man $1"
  }

Pix has spiced up Brazil’s fusty banking sector, but it gives the central bank a worrying amount of power

Economist what you think central bank does exactly that this is somehow too far?

Zen seems interesting but their website crashes when I try and visit which is a bit of deal breaker when it comes to a web browser

This is the same president that wants to give the death penalty to Drug Dealers but I guess that's fine so long as you use crypto.

no tidal support yet but looks very useful for one off uses

caffeinate -d is incredibly useful for work... uh reasons

This is very annoying. Even with the prevalence of smart tvs some tvs just don't come with all streaming apps I want and Chromecast was a great inexpensive option. They are discontinuing it in favor of a product that appeals to a totally different market in mind at 2x-3x the price. Roku still mostly fills that niche but I don't see the logic in this move at all.

"People should just stop" is never the right answer. You might as well be commanding an engine to stop overheating.

1) I don't understand this argument. As if we don't absolutely do this all the time. Theft as a concept is impossible to completely prevent yet we still know it to be illegal. Same with Vandalism. The supreme court just made it legal to prosecute the homeless. Hell there are countries were suicide is illegal.

2) You say this as if a room temp superconductor is something that endless dollars aren't spent on trying to achieve.

They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.

These are not whole distinct things. They are two overlapping circles. No one but the most unscrupulous of lawyers conceive of these a 2 wholly distinct entities.

Unethical or "uncivil" behavior is something that happens and to act like we have are hands are tied and shouldn't adapt to address this because our hands are tied because there are unintended consequences is asinine and impractical.

Either there's some unstated sarcasm or the person above made the most hn libertarian-ass comment I seen in a while.

Yes I would like functional civil institutions that are able to protect me from the unethical behavior of others. Welcome to Civics 101 today we are reading John Locke.

It’s been explicit goal of Conservatives for decades to remove “over regulation” and now thanks to this precedent newly instantiated corporations in the Texas 5th district can shop around to whatever judge they want and effectively strip any regulation now and forever; which has in fact already happened with a Texas judge ruling the FTC can’t ban non compete clauses

(https://ipwatchdog.com/2024/07/10/preliminary-injunction-ftc...)

Yes, immunity for "official duties" sounds reasonable until you read all the justices own words and realize how purposely broad and far reaching these duties are.

Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial

Wouldn’t this have made it impossible to prosecute Nixon for Watergate?

The question becomes what if the President then uses their power to jail/execute political rivals? How would you rule that as unofficial? Tons of dictators jail rivals on the “official” business of maintaining order or peace or some other nebulous term. The presidents role to enforce law is so broad that it can be used to justify almost any act.

It seems like the biggest outcome is that as we all know Congress can't pass laws, so the judicial system just go a huge amount of power to interpret ambiguous laws (I'm not sure how controversial this but language is inherently ambiguous...).

I expect a lot of court shopping to judges in Texas to get favorable result to abscond with any regulatory oversight

Ambiguity is built in the very nature of language. Good luck writing anything doesn't have some ambiguity built in...

Supreme court rules government illegal in landmark ruling...

Definitely looks like a solid improvement over Helm when it comes to just downloading and installing Kubernetes packages but it still to early for me to have a solid opinion since the aspect of actually building and distributing your own chart doesn't seem have been tackled which is basically 90% of the use case for Helm despite calling itself a package-manager, ha.

CR only tested processed food so that's not really a conclusion you can make.

We found [phthalates] in all but one food (Polar raspberry lime seltzer).

A very grim lol.

Very interesting have a wildly popular in demand product turns people against you.

Surprised by the amount of negativity here. So many comments that are saying the raspberry pi isn't competitive in their market anymore and then post more locked down less open systems at 2x the price.

Man Quora has such terrible usability issues and this does not help it at all.

Moving single digit volume of sales and "solving" obesity are two orders of magnitude different things.
