Re:MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch on Thursday October 29, 2026 @12:21AM (#50284539)
Lately Apple has been releasing products that for some reason my parents love and I don't care much for.

- Touch screen macbook: they were already tapping the screen by mistake sometimes.

- Iphone Duo: they are psyched about this one, maybe the big screen?.

- HomeView: They want this for the kitchen. Because it simplifies things maybe?

well well well, if it isn't mr I'm gonna call "far left" anything I don't agree with. GAFL

Dude seriously, watch the video in slow motion and make a sane judgement. There's no reason at all they should've done that. She wasn't even running over him or pointing a gun or anything. If they wanted to catch her they could've done it.
isn't jogging more impactful to the knees than cycling? I've seen this over and over.

Re:Keep these Stupid American Trucks out of Europe on Sunday November 30, 2025 @01:22PM (#46099027)
always hated when people buy these for non-utility purposes, it's all marketing and the perceived notion of looking tough. Specially because these big trucks cause more pollution, both smog and noise.
That's basically what happened, we're heading that way fast. The fact that leaving the country crosses my mind is a good sign
This is move by the journalists is inspiring to be honest, ending press freedom is what they want.
not this way no, black hawk and tactical teams to illegally raid a build with innocent families?, I've never heard of that at this scale, it's pretty obvious they want to create a fictitious situation to convince people there's threat where there isn't any.

> aren't immigration laws there for a reason

Right, the problem is you're assuming immigration agents are following the law. You need to alert people of where they are to protect them. People who are actually here legally are being arrested, waiting for them outside courtrooms. There have been several cases of actual American citizens detained illegally based on racial profiling. There's no proper due process. Additionally, the treatment of those who are detained is very inhumane, using tactics to induce fear.

If you're plan to keep improving LLM's is based on more training, then we have an AI hype problem.
> ICE says its agents need to wear masks to prevent being unfairly harassed for doing their jobs.

Ha, the hypocrisy.

Re:I tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupid on Monday August 11, 2025 @01:34AM (#44861006)
If you use it for the right thing it's great, but if you fall into the trap of trying to make everything for you, you will for sure become super lazy. The reality is, the more power these tools have, the bigger the responsibility you have to stay sharp and understand the generated code. If that's what you're interested in of course
Re: on Sunday July 20, 2025 @07:58PM (#44630541)
The attractiveness of this country is quickly fading away, for obvious reasons.
Numbers game of course, but how long can we keep doing this. The country is becoming a nightmare for most immigrants now. And we're not talking about criminality at all.
I am worried for this country. Going to prison to El Salvador for 20 years for burning a car because one of the rulers of this country own this company is incredibly stupid
Brings back memories of those arcade side scrolling games, looks so good

I imagine they see it as an opportunity or a legal way to exercise their blatant racism. But honestly I'm sick of these people.
Re:Will AI take web developer jobs? on Saturday February 15, 2025 @08:36PM (#43064456)
It creates more competition and jobs are harder to get, so yes it will take some developer jobs, but not all of them.
I wish the government used money more efficiently. This whole ICE thing seems like a bad unnecessary flex. We already have more important issues to address including health care, gun violence... and we're deporting taqueros and fruit pickers, really...?
Yes, it's important to have real context here and recognize when it's a real issue. I'd love to see more people no matter the leaning (left, right) to actually practice this more.

Amazing that there are people here in HN in denial of what's going on. So much for "informed" people. Laws are being broken left and right.

I think the privacy should be the whole point. There's always a price to pay. I'm optimistic that soon you'll be able to get better speeds with less hardware.
