Bitcoin was derailed from being peer to peer electronic cash to this strange "store of value" that doesn't store value. It happened almost six years ago, back in 2017.

> Bitcoin: a peer to peer electronic cash system

If you're buying into something that isn't "a great currency" then you are being lied to, and the thing that you're buying has been derailed from the original plan.

Reminds me of "The fall and rise of JavaScript"

Did you really just compare private companies data retention to totalitarian censorship, and in a good way?

My pet conspiracy theory is that is is wired to please the user, to get better coverage from the media and social media.

It can appear reasonably smart on the surface, but all it is is a stochastic parrot. It cannot reason with you about the code.

To best illustrate what I mean, watch this chess match[0] it's quite riveting.

Since it read millions of matches, it can predict a legal move most of the time, and even some good moves some of the time, but it cannot "understand" the rules of chess, and makes some hilariously illegal moves, especially if the match lasts longer.

Detail of fees and organizations [0]. Biggest are (in order): Citadel, Citi, Credit Suisse.

Looks like it. The linked article does NOT show what HN title does. Even the original title does not imply what the HN title does. The article is about one specific area of the brain, which is not the most obvious difference.

The anti-robot feature to me looks like Bloomberg's, not Archive's

So it is a sandboxed, abstract filesystem, not rw access to my actual filesystem?

The first lines of the description say

> This API allows interaction with files on a user's local device, or on a user-accessible network file system.

I don't want this in my browser. Why would anyone want this? How do I disable it?

Have you seen it play chess[0]? It's pretty funny.

It doesn't really "get" the rules of chess, but it has seen lots of matches and can do some "linguistic" predictions on the next move. It gets hilariously lost pretty fast, tho.

Generating is correct.

I think you mean "conscience".

I agree that some of this can be exciting to some, but (novelty aside) AIs promote mediocrity, not awesomeness.

It's a common problem on HN to have too little context. Even in the tech space, there is so many subdomains, that it's easy to get confused. It also doesn't help that often (not in this case, tho) writers assume you already know what they are talking about.

A couple of words of context (or maybe a "category tag"?) would be so much helpful, most of the time.

My old DSLR has a RAW+JPEG setting which will do both, I use it all the time.

Is it renewable?

If is, in fact, a problem with FTX, not crypto per se.

It's like if "Theranos' scam will leave deep scars in USD".

The whole thing reminds me of "I, Robot", when the AI realizes that the greater good for humanity can't care for themselves, it is to be ruled by the AI for good.

This is the kind of vibe I get from this writeup, and the level of separation from humanity these people operate.

Which is ever absent from all and any Hacker News entry.

All I want form a framework is for it to be boring.

Am I the only one? Am I crazy?

It's all tradeoffs. Reflex cameras are pretty standard, also the electronics have been around for a longer time now. But there is a balance in getting things to

* have all the basic and possibly premium features

* be rather compact and portable

* have the right weight

* possibly be weather/waterproof

* process images fast (including video)...

* ...don't drain battery in minutes...

* ...but also don't overheat in users' hands

* etc

I clicked the article and got the context, but it did take a click and couple of lines of text to "get".

I complain because I come here for news, not for riddles.

Is it really that difficult to add just the tiniest bit of context to let me know what the article is about?

As is, it could be any of:

* Kitchen appliances

* Urban stealth

* Image processing

* Fashion contagion

* Music and rhythm

* ...

"Spring Boot" has inherited some of the good ideas from Dropwizard.

I owned a Firefox phone and it was awesome. It had understandably few apps, but it worked really well.

One thing I really appreciated was that it was conceived as an appliance rather than as an attention grabber. We tolerate our phones being attention grabbers, but unrightfully so, it doesn't have to be this way. The default UI even had the saturation toned down, to not be so much in your face.

It was pretty capable for an 80 Euro phone. It was the only smartphone I owned that I could feel vibrate in my pocket. I concede that Android ran better on it, but it's not like FirefoxOS ran bad, on the contrary.

I unfortunately lost it, and it was about the time it was being discontinued. I would probably get another one. Heck, I would get one now, if they were still around.

Anecdote: friend had a KaiOS and it was pretty aweful.

I am NOT getting over it.

Oh yeah, I remember that intro.

When I think of Amazon/Tesla, I always associate it with early 2000s era science-fiction videogames.
