Looks like it's only for osx right now and not available in europe

Re:Google releases Gemma 4 open models on Friday April 03, 2026 @08:00AM (#47625695)
Thank you for the video. It was super helpful. the 20g version was clearly struggling but the 10g version was flying by. I think it was probably virtualized memory pages that were actually on disk causing the issue. Perhaps that and the memory compression.
Re:Japan Post launches 'digital address' system on Thursday May 29, 2025 @04:07AM (#44124002)
When I was in college, I'd come up with a similar concept for creating addresses for the developing world. For those that don't know, most of the world actually doesn't have any address and the governments have no plans in place to solve this.

Basically have a third party DNS like company and all it would do would be digital addressing. Since we would also deliver the mail, there was the added benefit of not sharing your actual address, temporarily sharing it, having alternatives based on day, kind etc and potentially just sharing your phone number as your address etc etc

Looking back, this would've been a great company but one that almost no investor would fund

Re:I gave up on self-hosted Sentry on Friday April 18, 2025 @05:03AM (#43726289)
enjoyable read. thanks for sharing
This was a great read. At this point, any org should assume on-device models are public

$80!! EC2 is a scam
Re:Just for Fun. No on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @04:54AM (#41498697)
When I was younger around the 2000s, there was a movement that was called "because I can" or something like that. This reminds me of that
Re:Exercise has 2M users but no money in the bank on Friday September 06, 2024 @05:01AM (#41464316)
First time I've heard about them. I hope this helps them get a bigger donation pool and support from similarly minded organizations
this +100 I can't just let some random exe run on my machine with nothing but claims from the author.

In my head, I'm also wondering why a botnet wouldn't just want to take over such a machine because they know for sure that it's a scarecrow. But security by obscurity is no way to instill trust here

Wow! Apple does Apple again. Just carved the exception to the EU market. I was hoping these pushes would stir changes across the globe but I guess the market size is too big especially the US market
Re:Ask HN: Did you turn off Google activity tracking? on Sunday March 10, 2024 @11:54AM (#39660133)
Surprisingly enough, I actually _want_ mine turned on. I normally look through when I found a particular site and just can't remember what it was but vaguely remember the dates or some other information about them. I'm happy Google is even sharing these controls but I would assume anything that's deleted here is a soft delete on their system
Re:GitHub: Incident with Actions (Again) on Friday March 01, 2024 @10:24AM (#39562609)
This is materially impacting us. We were just about to launch a feature and have a call with customers in a few minutes :cry: The release is blocked on deploy (managed by GH Actions) so I'm literally doing a build and eventually k8s deploy from my machine
Re:Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today? on Thursday February 29, 2024 @05:53PM (#39556299)
I had a few [datetime].replace(year=[current year]+n) in python where n is not divisble by 4 e.g. 2,10

This is in code we use for scheduling

Re:Satya Nadella uses an IBM AS/400 in 1993 on Friday February 16, 2024 @03:54AM (#39394720)
In 93, I was a baby. I'm now at least a Senior Eng in many orgs. It's impressive, at the very least, that Satya stayed in Microsoft that long
Re:Show HN: Autotab – Boring AI Agents for real world tasks on Thursday October 19, 2023 @03:56PM (#37947874)
Awesome. I'm mostly curious what the path to monetization for this is
Re:DHH: The price of managed cloud services on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @05:41AM (#37912570)
DHH shares about how HEY dropped its cloud bill by an many orders of magnitude. They're spending about 5K a month amortized!
Re:The price of managed cloud services on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @05:35AM (#37912532)
I'm actually glad DHH is sharing all this in public. Hard to argue with real evidence. Just shows how powerful marketing and peer pressure are: that the whole tech world was convinced to migrate to public clouds is kinda crazy
wish they had something for Linux
Just learned of the 500 euro bill today. I need to fly to Europe more.

Neat project

would totally love to read a modern `Hacker's Delight`. My mind was so blown away the first time I learned about low-level optimizations. I wish I did more of that on a day to day
now, was this written ... by GPT-4?
is there a service that can print, bind and mail PDFs with as many pages as this? It'll be useful for some of the manuals I have to read too

how much is one of these going for?

you really got me there
I'd tried something like this with the Kenyan election but our setup was to use OCR (google cloud) -> text -> parse -> sqlite

We started late so the results were out when we finished but I think it'll be a good idea to develop software that can parse the PDF results and display them faster than the electoral bodies can. In Kenya, and Nigeria, the delays cause a lot of anxiety

Re:The “Build Your Own Redis” Book Is Completed on Monday January 30, 2023 @07:28AM (#34578798)
I believe this book is such an explanation. At least for the key-value store persistence bit
imagine if this was on Amazon! I really hope this catches on!
