Is there some kind of an advertising blurb for why you’d want to use Toit, especially for scripting? I think the only thing I saw was “a readable language”, but I’d probably consider Python more readable than it judging from the examples.

I’ve been going over the art that I’ve saved in the past 15+ years and it’s quite sad when I go look for the original source of an image and find out that it’s completely gone from the original website. No indication that they’re on some other website, at least by reverse image searching it. Definitely has made me glad that I’ve been hoarding these images on my hard drives, with the total count being somewhere over 300k at the moment. I think the oldest ones have now been migrated across four different computers. Kinda sad for everyone else since they can’t see them anymore though.

Haven’t started saving web pages yet, but I definitely should though. My home server has some tens of terabytes to spare, so that’s at least not an issue. Been eyeing these comments to find a good self-hosted solution.

I think the only Chinese EV that interests me is the Xiaomi SU7, and even then I'm extremely unlikely to ever buy one.

I think I only heard good about her for a very brief period after she took the helm. After that it's been mostly "Xbox is a disaster" with studios being closed, hardware getting more expensive and whatnot. I don't actually believe that Xbox is going to do much with physical media going forwards and they're probably not backing down from AI much either (at least in private). I imagine what happens with Project Helix is going to dictate her legacy (unless Microsoft shuffles her out before that).

After the PHP vulnerability, we got some clients asking if our SaaS product used PHP (it didn't). It's possible that they just contacted their vendor, who assured them that everything was fine.

>It would be smart for TV mfrs to do a deal with Xfinity and their equivalents world wide in order to sell viewer data to advertisers and receive “fresh” ads, even if the TVs are excluded from the residential network.

Doesn't exactly sound like a thing to be that concerned about if you never plug in your TV. If you buy a TV right now and never plug it in, how would it know about any future deal with Xfinity to connect to its open networks? And if it had a feature to connect to random open Wi-Fi networks right now, that wouldn't be hard to prove. My LG has never shown up in my Wi-Fi client list despite my open guest Wi-Fi. You can even test it by naming your guest network "Xfinity WiFi".

Taking apart your TV and pulling out the wireless radio sounds like absolute overkill to me. Feel free to do it if it makes you feel better. It will definitely not allow it to send data (over Wi-Fi) under any circumstance. I'm just not convinced that the alternative is that much riskier.

Yeah. My suggestion would be to not give them a dollar. Zero-revenue companies usually don't go far. Better yet, don't even have an account. Having zero MAU is also a pretty terrible for a business.

Claude is a commercial service. And much like other services (AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, etc.), they might boot you off if they feel fire under their feet.

My boss is demanding me to use AI but hasn’t started demanding me to run parallel agents or anything like that, so I’m managing to keep things under control. Who knows how long it’ll take before they start doing that or just fire me outright. I feel pretty checked out anyway. I do remind myself every day that “it’s just a job” and I shouldn’t care about it. I think I’m more worried about AI ruining my leisure time too and has me check out of life entirely.

>And like the DAO hack on Ethereum showed, if most people who run blockchain software decide that something never happened, they can revert transactions that way.

Isn't that a pretty integral part of the blockchain? 51% attacks were even featured on the HBO show Silicon Valley.

So instead of letting me browse their website from Google searches, they'd rather me just ask ChatGPT and have it regurgitate answers based on their content?

Was it mentioned somewhere that they got compromised? And that it's not for example a hardware failure? I imagine lead times for getting brand new hardware would be in the 2–4 week range these days.

Tuike Finland is not a contractor. It's a Google subsidiary. Tuike Finland also has the auxiliary com­pany na­me of "Google Technology Finland". Their official place of business is Ensontie 1, 49420 Hamina.

Notably, this is the address of Google Hamina Campus.

Google (through its local subsidiary) asked the regulators if they could skip doing an environmental impact assessment. The regulators told them that they could not skip doing it. They'd already started logging before asking for the exemption and continued to log for months after being told that there would not be an exemption.

They'd also applied for a landscaping permit for the site, but were denied one by the municipality because they'd still not performed the environmental impact assessment.

The HN submission title is wrong and editorialised. Google is not being investigated for cutting trees. They're being investigated for environmental damage, including drainage and water management at the site. There's been reports of water running from the site out into the environment. The local residents have been worried over brown, muddy water streaming out from the clearance site into the surrounding nature (https://www.hs.fi/suomi/art-2000012327899.html).

>This gets brought up every time the discussion happens, yet we manage perfectly well even further north here in Norway.

Yeah, try going to school in Lapland. If school starts at 09:00, you're walking to school in the dark. If school ends at 14:00, you're walking home in the dark.

>the greatest video game imaginable still only appeals to people who like video games.

I don't know. World of Warcraft definitely brought a lot of people that didn't like video games to PC gaming. And then you had something like FarmVille that brought even more people (many of whom probably didn't like video games before) into gaming.

Isn't that exactly the kind of thing that would be offloaded to an AI? If you can just take a picture, record the sound, or vaguely describe a bird and it instantly gives you an answer.

This argument only works if you have a career (and lifespan) that spans 100+ years. I'd venture a guess that 0% of Grubhub delivery drivers were farmers a hundred years ago.

Really glad I'm not currently shopping for a new computer.

It's also pretty fucking sad how this thing comes with less RAM than my low-end Mac Studio from 2022. I only upgraded from a 512 GB SSD to 1 TB, and I still have 32 GB. And even still, I paid 2599€ for it, where as the OLED MacBook Pro is 4049€.

There's been quite a lot of people still defending the site. Basically "who cares about DDoS attacks and altering archived sites' content when it allows bypassing paywalls?"

>Most automation has led to people transitioning to higher wages.

Gonna need a citation for this.

According to the AI boosters, my career (and pretty much everyone else's) is already over anyway.

Why? Do managers have to manage a bunch of AI agents? Or are you equating an LLM to a living breathing human?

Was thinking the same. My assumption would've been that this would have been a normal and routine enough of an operation to be able to push through without needing a separate RC process.

A bit less impressive considering that it's the M6 and not the M6 Pro.

A rational company would not buy out an employee that they're going to be rehiring.
