No you can't, because those people have stopped creating because the creation economy was destroyed by AI. We just keep getting recycled slop based on what existed in 2025.
Disappointing to see the release and still no implementation of multi-user sign on for local multiplayer games (like all true consoles).
As I noted when announced, it's something that doesn't get headlines, but a real barrier for enjoyment for a console-like PC. Hate being stuck with 'guest 1' and 'guest 2' or whatever. Many games want each player to progress and without true multi sign on, it just doesn't work. Hence games dropping local multiplayer on PC.
Wow. I saw 4.1B credits and thought it was super generous. But my math says the subscription plan gives less value than the API.
For example, API input is $0.435 / M tokens, which works out to 13.79 M tokens for $6.
Plan is 300 credits per input token, which works out to 13.67 M tokens at 4.1B credits per $6.
Very similar math for cache input and output.
The x.com post (by the journalist!) does not point to the actual article. I guess that's discouraged on X? Talk about social media being useless.

The main thesis is that the liabilities risk/cost from securities class action lawsuits is a tax on public companies.
I saw this story. I think the most fascinating part was halfway through (after two hours) the boy decided he had to ditch his life jacket in order to make it to shore.
What a hard and life changing decision to make at 13. Incredible.
I wonder if Steam will finally implement multi-user sign on for local multiplayer games (like all true consoles).

They were originally working on a MS teams replacement, with a bunch of things in one app like teams. (I tried it back then, it was pretty green). Now it looks like they are focused on drive, chat and email. The old app seems deprecated, so I presume they forked it into some of this new stuff.
These sorts of projects always seem to end up with the worst doctors. At the end of the day, seeing a good doctor is all the patient wants.
Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s longtime design chief, said the company is looking to combine the electronic and manual door-release mechanisms, which are currently in separate locations.
I never understood this. I get that the electronic release is "cool" or something, but it never made any sense to me that it wasn't integrated with or connected to a manual release.
Edit: my math was bad.
What is the alternative, ask them not to tell?
The moment the seals fired the rifles the mission was over, a complete failure.
So the obvious alternative was to abort without killing everyone. The vaunted seals can't escape from a fishing boat? Nothing was accomplished by this mission other than killing a bunch of fishermen. For shame.

The x.com post was always a little vague to me. I would be interested if we got more background on this.
Completely agree. Iny experience commercial prep was not of the same quality and the actual LSAT questions and doing actual true historical LSAT practice tests was cheap and effective.
I am well read on this case.
She would have got the same treatment even if she spoke French.
This is simply untrue and I would be happy to hear a source for your position. It happens to allophones and white presenting anglophones:

Feel free to have the last word. My last word is leaving Quebec and never coming back.
She died because she didn't speak french and the staff laughed at her rather than try to communicate with her. If you think racism in Quebec doesn't have a connection with language, you are dangerously misinformed.
By constrast, it is less and less easy to live only in French in Montréal, since it is not always possible to find someone that speaks French.
Sorry you went to a restaurant in chinatown that didn't speak french. I hope you can recover safely from that experience. Meanwhile, this is the truth of living in Quebec as an allophone: https://www.montrealgazette.com/news/article505933.html
Be sure to also check out how francophone Quebecois have been very effective at revenge - driving out anglophones and allophones from Quebec through vindictive attacks against their language, culture, schooling and employment. It's sad, but I am ultimately glad I will be the last generation of my family born in Quebec. Au revoir and good riddance.
I think everyone can agree women are nicer to look at
How is this toxic bullshit upvoted on HN. What the actual fuck. No everyone does not agree with your bullshit.
You're lucky. I had a real bad experience and the host managed to get Airbnb delete my review, I think the reason was something like host interactions were not relevant to the review? It was completely ridiculous.
Yes, definitely had that experience growing up of going over to someone's house and being unable to operate the very complex tower of black boxes. Could not agree more.
You can have the TV still be a dumb monitor by using a TV box, but handle the switching of inputs if you have more than one input.
The problem is that as video technology has advanced, it makes less and less sense to pay for video processing technology on a receiver. Your new TV supports HDMI 2.1 with 120hz and VRR for your new PS5.
Does your receiver? Are you willing to spend $1000 to upgrade your receiver to simply correctly pass through that video signal, with little meaningful audio upgrade?
The thing is, traditional receivers wanted to be the "brains" of home theater, switching video inputs, managing audio, turning everything on.
That role is no longer sensible when used with smart TVs/Apple TV boxes/Android TV boxes.
As a result, traditional receivers are relegated to be being audio decoders and amplifiers. Honestly, I think there's already more manufactured and lying around than the world really needs. It was inevitable that a few product lines would be consolidated.
Isn't the problem that none of this was transparent to the user? That honey takes affiliate commissions and MAYBE gives some of that money back to the user? That honey takes credit for the sale and MAYBE stands down in certain circumstances?
I don't think any of this is transparent to the user. That's the scam.
The San Francisco I experience is full of positive energy. Sure, maybe if you're visiting and stay in Union Square, that's not what you see. But if you live in the residential neighborhoods and work somewhere nice (such as in the Presidio), there isn't another city in the world I would rather be.
I do not believe CS:GO free tier had any cosmetic drops, only lootbox drops. But I certainly could be mistaken. In either case, any truly free cosmetics were much rarer than other games.
I think a few replies have missed a key issue: Valve's CS monetization is the worst in the industry.
Most current monetization for cosmetics allows you to both (1) grind for items without paying anything and (2) if you want to pay, show you exactly what you are paying for.
Even games that still use lootboxes (i.e. don't follow #2) allow you to grind for items.
CS is one of the very few (or only current) game where you can't get a cosmetic without paying (must purchase keys to open lootboxes) and you don't know what you are getting (lootboxes).
It's bad and there is no excuse.
The trading mechanic, which adds a real world value to these cosmetics, and encourages players to pay for lootboxes makes it worse.
People sometimes hate on popular games like Fortnite and COD, but they have way better/more fair monetization practices.
