What on earth are you talking about???

I didn't get a single coherent idea from any sentence/paragraph.

Shame on me? Shame on you for not being concise, synthetic and to the point.

I don't really get it. High profile people working for Apple leave for OpenAI, obviously for money. Is it worth it though? You already have a good job, enough money and work for an iconic company.

I mean people in these positions taking these decisions, wouldn't have actually benefited way much more if staying at Apple and actually disclosed OpenAI attempts to steal IP and technology?

AI is a massive leap forward in providing safe and educational digital experience.

Can you point to any serious studies that sustain that claim? If anything that sounds like a gamifying learning experience, letting children become expert beginners.

Please, no. The last thing a child need is a screen. Give children books, creative toys, teach them read, enjoy music, do science or any activity always with a human companion and let it be disconnected from the virtual world.

Children do not need screens to learn. I didn't need one when I was a kid, nor endless generations either needed it.

Why are we trying to push everything through an LLM?

Recently bought a Keychron K3 and so far very happy with it. Its price/quality is really good. The main drawback is that it might take a bit to get used to it, especially if you use laptops with different layouts.

Man if I ever had to read 60 AI reports, I'd quit on the spot.

I cannot think of a more harmful widespread technology than AI.

I would be truly ashamed to assist a top notch course only to turn to a computer for answers.

I would prefer to fail forever and learn the hard way before doing some cheap copy/pasta.

All that it was ruled against her should be illegal. It should also be illegal for companies to add abusive contract clauses that directly go against basic rights as freedom of speech.

Disgusting set of human beings Zuck and company.

Read the book and then decide if it's worth continuing on FB.

The comparison was against the original game. I haven't played on the computer since ages, but that was my impression the times I played it. I'm not deep into all the nuances of the game just that it was considerably better that the 1995 release.

If you play the original and then OpenRA you will be amazed how well OpenRA is balanced.

As an example, while in the original game using allied artillery against soviet tesla coils was a dead sentence in OpenRA is great to be able to fire well beyond its range forcing you to come out of the base to defend it.

They also added a ton of features which make the game truly enjoyable and fun to play.

Well done OpenRA team!

If you think Linux is a good candidate for older hardware (which it is) wait until you try a BSD.

That's pretty lame. Startups that show this behavior to the OSS community should be equally punished, be under the YC umbrella or not.

Thanks for the insight. So regarding what you explained above, is Corgi's fate supposed to be similar to Delve's? Or are those numbers so big/important for YC that they won't be banned?

Can someone give a bit more of context on this thread? I have no idea who Nico is nor what Papermark is or does.

As an aside thought not related to the thread: Is it my perception or people are getting more used to not only vibe code things from existing solutions/projects but also "steal" open source code and do whatever the heck they want without complying morally/ethically/legally to the whole premise of open source?

I have the feeling that more than ever open source violations are flourishing everywhere without any major legal consequences.

For me Windows 2000 Professional is the best OS that Microsoft ever released. At the time I used it was really polished, stable and fast.

One recurring question that I keep asking myself is why UIs have to constantly change for the worse?

What would happen if vendors kept using the same UI for decades? Would people hate or love having a one well thought UI?

I don't because I'm not a Windows user since a very long time. See my other comment.

My youngest brother had exactly the described problem in the article just the moment he needed his data the most and called me in panic having no idea as to why his computer randomly decided to ask for recovery codes.

Iteration 19 is particularly beautiful if you look at it with polarized glasses, it almost looks like a 3d effect.

Users should be given a choice and clearly and concisely explain the consequences of choosing one or the other. Simple as that.

What it should definitely not happen is to do this behind scenes and store recovery codes on a microsoft account. Why those codes have to be stored on their servers?

A screen should display the recovery codes and instruct the user to print them and keep them in a safe place in case of requiring them. I should be able to recover my data completely offline. End of the story.

A user can set up a computer with a Microsoft account, switch to using a PIN every day, and never think about that account again. Then, one day, after a firmware update, a hardware change, or an unexpected issue, the system may display a BitLocker recovery screen requesting a recovery key.

This is absolutely TRASH behavior. One of my siblings not only experienced this but after setting Bitlocker off it turned on ONCE AGAIN automatically after some time.

I urged him to print those fucking codes on paper just in case after we carefully recovered them. This is one of the worst things that can happen to a non technical user.

One thing I will never understand is why do me need to have animations at all? There is zero value on them. Worse I'm inclined to believe that they introduce a nasty amount of bugs and they also need to be maintained.

Is this a true story though? I mean given the fact that we are seeing AI slop posts everywhere I'm inclined to not take seriously many things publisehd out there anymore.

I hate laptops now shipping with the Office 365 logo. Apparently the Windows logo wasn't enough. How many more Microsoft symbols will keep polluting keyboards?

When I was a kid I used to spend entire days building and creating new stuff once I built the designs from the booklets.

Today when I see a Lego kit is kind of another toy: is designed to build one and only one design, compared to the generic kits that were sold and also popular many years ago.

All these new kits pieces are just to accomplish one build. The Lego spirit of ever combining and creating with same pieces over and over again is gone.

It never occurred to me that I could tie shoes with a different knot. This is excellent. It takes a bit of practice to undo a lifetime habit of tying my shoes with a weak knot. Well worth it!

For some reason I have a pair of sneakers that they will always untie way many more times than any other shoes that I ever had, no matter how hard you make the regular knot. No more!

Is it just me or do I have the feeling that we have gone too far with our memory requirements? Why everyone now suddenly need 32Gb, 64Gb or hundreds of additional Gb of RAM?

Same thing with GPUs, is kind of insane having so much processing power and yet requiring more and more. What purpose for? What's the limit? Does it really really pay off such investments?

For me as a non-AI developer (I don't use any models of any kind, nor I train LLMs at all), a system with 16Gb seems to be more than enough for a vast number of applications.

What's going on with tech companies now releasing "limited editions" or "limited runs" of a calculator? I find that a hit ridiculous. Not long ago there was a post on a japanese made Casio laccquered calculator that costs a fortune. Have people started to collect calculators?

I didn't know about this one. Looks an in-depth book on the shell as well. Thanks for sharing.

The pocket is perfect for beginners. It has a nice introduction in chapter 1 that explains all essential concepts to understand and operate the console. Then it is basically a sort of reference of a moderate list of most useful commands for performing different tasks.

The "Efficient" book is an in depth walkthrough of the shell and how to reason and combine important commands to perform not trivial tasks. It is certainly a book to be re-read from time to time because it has plenty of good tricks and explanations.

Thanks for pointing it out! I visually checked the books on the shelf but my eyes tricked me and confused "rr" by "rn".

For anyone just starting I highly recommend: "Linux Pocket Guide" and if moving forward adopting linux as a daily driver "Efficient Linux At The Command Line". Both books by Daniel J. Barnett.

Even if you're a seasoned Linux user you will learn a lot from those books.
