Re:Show HN: Unfenced – Land for sale that borders public land on Thursday October 15, 2026 @12:16PM (#50105878)
Very cool project. One of my favorite Show HN posts. It’s interesting to see how hard it is to line up the maps from different sources, but in most cases it is close enough to dig further. A really useful tool. Thank you

What a refreshingly unique website!
It also seems like all of the models have converged on very similar images.
I’m only interested in this because it is the first company I’ve seen try to completely wipe itself off the face of the earth in a little over a week. You won’t even be able to access your billing history after March 27 and there will be no support available after that date.

Because it opens them up to liability. The most experienced board members will leave the board deck behind so they don’t have a copy. They sure won’t go searching for things that aren’t presented in the board meeting. It’s better for them to blame and fire the CEO.
There will absolutely be an M5 Ultra. Gurman has confirmed it.

This is a much better explanation. Thank you

Unfortunately iPads also don’t allow you to turn off HDR
Re:Netflix: Open Content on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @11:42AM (#46435073)
I would like to see them give us an option to turn HDR off. In some situations it is just too bright and in others too dark.

Apple should dedicate some resources to making this successful. Metal could use more wins outside of Apple itself.
Re:Rivian Autonomy and AI Day on Thursday December 11, 2025 @01:03PM (#46234771)
Rivian hasn't and never will deliver the features they promised for the Launch Edition vehicles so I'm very skeptical
Re:OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @03:51PM (#46126663)
This is exactly the kind of failure Google is notorious for. Google has put me through their login purgatory multiple times where the only solution was to wait many days and try the same steps again until it works. I think it would be much easier to get this resolved with OpenAI than with Google.
Re:XBMC 4.0 for the Original Xbox on Friday November 21, 2025 @03:59PM (#46008931)
I fondly remember opening up my Xbox to solder a mini board to the Xbox board. Later, they figured out how to add it without the additional board.

I don’t think Hacker News is the right place to post celebrity obituaries (see Diane Keaton earlier this week).

This is great. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time after giving up on Portal. Thank you
Re:Spending on AI Is at Epic Levels. Will It Ever Pay Off? on Saturday September 27, 2025 @11:17PM (#45401477)
Where are you finding the best material for reading/learning?
Re:Ask HN: Are there any modern devices similar to Palm Pilot? on Friday September 12, 2025 @05:52PM (#45227191)
Not exactly what you want, but I recently discovered my old Palm Pilot IIIe still works when I put batteries in it.
Re:OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 in August on Thursday July 24, 2025 @06:47PM (#44677239)
Are they losing so many customers to Anthropic, Gemini, etc that they have to pre-announce this?
BYD buses are operating in the US.

Which model did you use with aider?
Re:Tsunami Warning for Northern California on Thursday December 05, 2024 @05:52PM (#42333772)
Also confusing when the SF Fire captain is on the radio telling people to evacuate to 100 ft above sea level right after a CalTech seismologist says it is unlikely to cause much of a tsunami due to being a strike-slip earthquake.
Re:Experience the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing on Friday August 30, 2024 @01:27PM (#41402805)
This is fantastic. I really appreciate how the two audio loops take advantage of stereo and are on separate channels. Much more immersive this way.
When did Palo Alto become South Bay? South Bay was always much further south.

Ask HN: Why does Google ignore their own recovery process?

I'm so tired of Gmail requiring me to verify using my account recovery information and then deciding to ignore it when I get it right. I'm using the same device, browser (but not Chrome), and IP address that I've used for years. I'm getting the recovery code and entering it correctly. Also performing an insane amount of Captchas. At the end of this, it still won't let me in. This happens...

The toolkit may be free, but the data is very expensive.
This was in reference to Silicon Valley
