News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yeah, that assumption is correct. So doing laundry for others as well wasn't really something I was considering.
> I assume you got a spouse or parent do all the laundry for you? I’m not sure you realize how spoiled you sound.

What a weird accusation. I do this myself, it takes like half an hour a week and is actually quite relaxing.

I'm not sure you realize how spoiled people sound who would spend thousands of dollars to replace such an insignificant inconvenience.

I was expecting to be disappointed at seeing another humanoid robot that can fold laundry BS startup.

But it looks like they're trying to build something that is actually useful.

Or you could just google the syntax to accomplish the same task faster and with fewer resources.

So many security breaches involve the internet in some way. Maybe we should just turn it off.

You never know, the ciphertext might have contained a solution to that issue.

Isn't it just the default slopcoded website design?

Linux is a great FOSS alternative.

YC funding.

That will happen after the founders "successfully exited" so why would they care.

I didn't read the article, but the AI illustrations were off-putting enough to close the tab.
Might be worse because it takes time between designing the silicon and having the first usable chips. So they're outdated the moment they hit the market or even before that.
I mean are there even any reasons to buy a new phone?

If I compare the Pixel 6 Pro I'm using at the moment to current models, they are functionally identical. The only reason to upgrade might be getting a fresh battery and access to firmware updates.

Otherwise I'd be happy to continue using it for the next 10 years.

Maybe by being something different than the regular slop on the HN front page. And just being a high quality article in general.

Crazy that you're giving that advice away for free. You should be selling a course instead.

Or even better, a world where billionaires aren't able to exist.

There needs to be a wealth maximum, afterwards you just get taxed 100%.

> That insurance isn't free, so paid for by member dues?

Yes, obviously. That's how every insurance works.

Are you not allowed to leave the US?
Ordering ISPs to DNS block temu would probably be easier and effective enough.

Or maybe getting google and apple to make the app not available in the EU.

Thanks. My first thought was "independent from what?". I'm a last.fm user since 2006 but never noticed any ownership changes.
In the near future our AI assistants will try to scam each other.

Yes, that's what the G in GPU stands for. It's great to see that there are still manufacturers that understand this.

I just turned off my ad blocker to see how bad it is. Because with it turned on I didn't see any popups.

They have Google ads on their site promoting a paid ad free version of their site? WTF? Why would you pay google to put ads for on your site for your own service?
