Fully agreed. It's also that the interesting stuff quickly falls off the front page, and you have to go to https://news.ycombinator.com/active to find it.

"Social media" is such a wide and vague term. We're basically banning people from talking to each other.

If Reddit is "social media", so is HN.

To me, Google switched the "Evil bit" around the time of the Dragonfly debacle (2018)

If OP is only seeing the problems now, they must have been selectively blind.

Gobsmacked to learn that this was originally developed on the Apple II. I always thought of PoP as a 16-bit type of game.

and Disney

I don't think full context should be provided at all times in casual internet conversations.

However, in your defense, "Richmond" is one of the most overloaded geographical names, second only to "Kingston".

Oh you're right, I misread. They're actually blaming their customer's vibe coding on their problems. I which case I call BS

They are mostly blaming their shift to vibe coding for their problems. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/an-update-on-...

Is this the OpenClaw effect?

Why are you still assuming good intentions of Vercel? This was them less yhan a month ago : https://vercel.com/changelog/updates-to-terms-of-service-mar...

Those worries are ruled out... for now. Laws can be amended.

Same here, I've not been able to open an account, it's a bit frustrating.

It's the 2026 version of this https://paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Reminded of Dan Luu's post on the Normalization of Deviance (2015, https://danluu.com/wat/)

"There's the company with a reputation for having great engineering practices that had 2 9s of reliability last time I checked..."

Now it's 2026, and customers are grudgingly accepting zero 9's of reliability.

How could Signal be considered privacy-conscious ? The first thing they do is ask for your phone number.

Interesting to see the deep-dive on "younger car drivers", but not a pip about the old-age drivers. Yet we see from chart 1 that their casualty rate is far worse!

Not for me.

If it's confirmed that Altman's played the Koreans against each other, it's going to cause a furore in Korea.

I get the feeling that they are doing this partly for marketing purposes.

The aerospace industry has had countermeasures in place against bit-flips for a long time, oftentimes thanks to redudancy

Airbus/Thales's fix in this case appears to add more error checking, and to restart the misbehaving component. https://bea.aero/fileadmin/user_upload/BEA2024-0404-BEA2025-...

("une supervision interne du composant à l’origine de la défaillance ; - un mécanisme de redémarrage automatique de ce composant dès lors que la défaillance est détectée)

This. Your SBC's ecosystem/support is 10x more important than its specs.

Anectodally, I've seen that some newly graduated engineers prefer to forgo the job search altogether, rather than lower their comp demands to get a foot in the door.

Not mentioned in the article : interns/juniors are too expensive these days ; seniors offer better value per dollar of comp.

What's your location?

The paradox of politics : are hated whilst actually doing what the majority wants.

As we saw in the case of the Winter fuel Payments : if a policy is unpopular with voters, it is abandoned. The Online Safety Act is popular, so it will stay.

A company invented the role of "forward deployed engineer" to solve this problem.

There are 300 random candidates but probably only 3 viable candidates.

As the meme goes: "You don't need to sell it to me, I was already convinced!"

Have you been to Korea ? Or even the UK ?
