I last tried Ubuntu as a daily driver in 2009. How has Linux reliability improved for consumers since then?

It might have been that the OP wanted to try for themselves using an app or some source code.

I check prices on my reciepts. I shop at Costco, Walmart, 99 Ranch, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's.

I'm fairly certain the error rate for all those shops is less than 5%.

Same as any other ad supported services- the service is useful or entertaining.

Provenance matters because LLM writing is cheap compared to actually having to think about what to say.

I only have a limited amount of time to read. Skipping someone's Internet comment because it looks like spam often means I get to engage with something else.

Thank you for the keyword filter!

Not sure about internationalization but at least for English, constraining to ASCII characters seems like a simple solution.

There's an interesting paper on how to sandbox that came out recently.

Summary here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/11/camel/

TLDR: Have two LLMs, one privileged and quarantined. Generate Python code with the privileged one. Check code with a custom interpreter to enforce security requirements.

Unless I'm missing something, the opt-out is one click away. I don't understand the problem.

Airalo works well on my iPhone for travel. I had super fast data in Europe (including UK), Japan, Mexico.

IIRC the rates are not competitive compared to local plans though, so not sure if it's worth it for you.

Plenty of AI models cite their sources.

I'm skipping 2 hours of ads per month for $15. IMO it's a pretty good deal.

(Assumptions: I watch 10 hours of YouTube videos per week, YouTube shows 30 seconds of ads per 10 minutes of video)

Twitch subs remove ads for subscribed channels, so OP doesn't buy subs.

Which is the more likely scenario?

1. OP buys bits and throws them at their favorite streamers despite not being willing to pay for subscriptions.

2. OP pays nothing for Twitch and doesn't watch a single ad.

You think he could be personally liable for eight figure plus damages?

Where is the precedent for this?

Unless D'angelo has some expensive eight figure lifestyle, he's not going to a poorhouse anytime soon.

He was chief technology officer of Facebook, and also served as its vice president of engineering, until 2008.

D'Angelo was an advisor to and investor in Instagram before its acquisition by Facebook in 2012.

Who pays for the R&D?

Emerging markets don't buy small cars as a conscientious environmental decision, they buy them because it fits their budget. Small cars cost less than large cars to buy and run.

- Google (Search, YouTube, Android)

- Facebook (Groups, Messenger)

- Amazon (Store, Audible)

- eBay

When my phone was taken in an armed robbery, it ended up in Ho Chi Minh City.

No threats though... I assume they just parted it out.

if paying these miners to stop has the desired effect of reducing the load on the grid, miners not existing would surely have a similar effect.

In a privatized system, a large, predictable, static load would attract additional infrastructure. Assuming how that's how Texas' system works, if these miners did not exist, the peak capacity would be lower.

They are also in a race to the bottom.

Some booking sites will have an option to show prices after all fees, but it will never be on by default.

Most people don't run an adblocker on their phone, and these torrent sites would cease to exist or become malware sites themselves if enough users used adblock.

Let's not kid ourselves- these site runners are not Aaron Swartz.

Search for torrent or download link, click,

Hope that you didn't click a sketchy ad that looks just like the download link, because the site didn't police any of its ads.

I guess to be more specific, zero-days that they don't fix even after they're exploited.

Start by analyzing whichever email service you use.

Add additional checkboxes:

- [y/n] Is SMS the only 2FA method available?

- [y/n] Is there no 2FA at all?

- [y/n] Do they have a history of unpatched zero-days?

- [y/n] Is it possible that if there is a security breach, you won't hear about it because no tech journalist pays attention to this service?

- [y/n] Can someone socially engineer the support team to get access to your account?

- [y/n] If a hacker gets access to your account, can your bank accounts be drained?

If someone wanted to buy your house for three times its market value and their grand plan was to turn it into lumber, would the smart move be to decline?

Driving an old vehicle makes others less safe. The risk of collision decreases with safety features like ABS. The 70s truck doesn't have these safety features.

What do you subscribe to on PBS? Didn't even know they had a subscription program.

Every newspaper already has a payment platform. The only value add is distribution.

How much extra would HN pay?

The answers in this thread are essentially all under $1. There seems to be not much rationale behind these numbers besides "it should be cheaper," so the anchor point is probably $0.
