General aliases are bad imho because it tends (in my experience) to attract spam... One way I get around that, is instead of aliasing @domain.com, I do .a@domain.com, so I use my emails when i subscribe ServiceName.a@domain.com

good balance for me...

A common model in some cost cutting software is to charge x% of the total savings... Win/win...just a suggestion... use picks "main LLM" and you calculate the "non optimized cost" based on that. Whatever savings you drive you take a share of the savings.

I've seen lots of things flagged because they arent flattering to the majority of the HN populus...

VPN'd right into that playground, turns out the toys were pretty blah

As others have said, the information wasn't something they'd need (arguably) to vet people, and even if it was, what is the argument to keeping all those people's personal data for more than a decade... They breached the confidentiality expected, and I'm not sure this can be just considered an "understandable mistake"... sorry, they need to be help to the same standards anyone possessing or processing data does.

isn't this pretty common to most analyses of past events and attempts to make proxy analyses for the future? If we had all of the facts organized and known we would be able to prevent all crashes, etc, would we not?

And apparently many people here on HN want to discredit the author's conclusions because they dont agree with them personally.

Your experiences are anecdotal but may not be the average... the relative number of people in homelessness has reduced from the 90's to today, that is certainly good.. (It has had a slight peak recently post pandemic).

Purchasing power has climbed, hunger has reduced, I think all of these are important metrics to consider...

I think people are much more polarized and that social media has brought out terrible polarity, but it doesnt necessarily mean the average person is not living better than 30 yrs ago.

"Confirmed True" based on 2 tweets (one of them from the iranians) and a few articles that all cite the same sources... lol, textbook fake... Israel could have leveled Gaza in an afternoon... most countries would have done that... I kind of wish they did and this would be over.

sure, it didnt start, but israel was "happy" defending itself from its neighbor shooting thousands of rockets each year... Yeah, it didnt start on oct 7th, but the escalation very much did. Actions have consequences, and a ceasefire was broken on Oct 7th... Let them resolve their issues now

The architectures currently seen on cellphones and most (if not all) modern electronic devices make it so hardware buttons are just as vulnerable as software "buttons"... (the hardware buttons actually trigger software which maps it to functions, so if the software is attacked the hardware button could be vulnerable - just as a software button...)

The case for replaceable batteries can be made from a convenience/durability/sustainability point of view, sure, but how do replaceable batteries improve trust?

Its a great way to stiffle innovation, though... Lots of ideas start out as dumb, and then get refined... We have also been using AI, meeting recordings, and summarization to some extent, but I dont see it being used "for all meetings", it will just be very counter productive IMO.

Its very realistic! Its being done at this moment! (amazing, isnt it?)

lfmao... but jokes aside, the "cloud" is just series of datacenters with less choice of a brand, you do realize this? There is no such "cloud" as you say... Internet allows exactly for decentralized data (among cloud-1a-b1-c2 to cloud-2b-5x-3h is not all "in the cloud", its the same as datacenterA to datacenterB.... proximity still has an effect, as do all other network conditions...)

Dont let the marketing sandcastle trap you in!

Current generation is so "cloud-happy" they dont appreciate the cost of being cloud-based... (10x? 100x? more?)

Large companies have been announcing HUGE savings, small companies would be able to save a LOT too... such a pity, all the cloud abstraction creates lazy teams IMO, and lazy companies... (again IMO, I know this wont be a popular view, because this audience is exactly the cloud-happy audiencem but if you achieve self criticism, self-hosting / colo etc is probably a better fit for 99% of cases)
