Looking at it and very excited. In unsupported features, charting is mentioned. Could there be any value in not directly implementing the drawing of charts, but tie in to other open source library? Just curious of your thinking.
Yes do the same for ICE - very constructive suggestion. Completely unnecessary to call the argument silly though.. There are marked differences in what's needed in an EV vs an ICE, most obvious of which is the giant battery with a very different supply chain.

So basically your source is: "trust me bro, I'll prove it to you?" I think it is a relevant question. We cannot go around calling someone genius prompt engineers, and then skip the engineering part of noting down what actually works and how it can be replicated. Could we try to work backwards not from the perspective of the problems of the person asking the question, but perhaps work backwards from your claims (I.e. to where you have them from)

Don't worry, this journalism probably isn't even societally important /s
I like that you chime in on this and think better cooperation makes more sense here. I assume you also have no interest in enshittified, slower, more expensive, environmentally worse, lower quality Internet. From your point of view, what are potential options/directions to approach to solve some of the issues arising from f.x. crawlers, bota, and other detection-avoiders? I am genuinely curious here
I just lost the game

My take from this comment is that maybe you do not understand it as well as you think you do. Claiming that "other modern infrastructure" is easier to understand than CSS is wild to me. Infrastructure includes networking and several protocol, authentication and security in many ways, physical or virtual resources and their respective capabilities, etc etc etc. In what world is all of that more easy than understanding CSS?
Re:GrapheneOS needs OEM partner access on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @09:42AM (#44247548)
These things i am also against. But there is at the same time an interest in allowing data security and ability to repair, f.x. I would never suggest an EU led or controlled version, but the EU has many types of resource and overlapping goals I think.
Re:GrapheneOS needs OEM partner access on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @09:40AM (#44247522)
I was actually thinking funding and networking. I do agree with what you said.
Re:GrapheneOS needs OEM partner access on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @04:14AM (#44245329)
GrapheneOS devs should approach the EU for support here in my opinion. Right about now the EU, or at least many member nations, are very interested in ensuring ability to take ownership of important/critical solutions.

Great first step asking for help and seeking to improve. :) I would like to point out that a lot of people don't have internal monologues. There are many ways to think and many ways to be smart. Internal monologue is not a requirement. I have it myself so I cannot give advice on how to think without, but just bear in mind that it isn't required.
You basically just described ads, although poetically (: Edit: after having read the article i want to change ads to "ads, influencers, and pyramid schemes"

I foresee it in that position due to people building it as such. Perhaps the same criminal humans you mention, perhaps other actors with other motivations.
Re:Stupid Slow: The Perceived Speed of Computers on Friday June 14, 2024 @02:02AM (#40677944)
This is such a common frustration for me that I sometimes share to family, friends, and partner. They have a hard time understanding why I think it is such a big problem.

I think people perhaps have gotten to good at accepting the gruel they get, rather than the feast they could have. My partner tries to get me to be less frustrated all the time. She is right, of course, that this is not a helpful emotion. But I cannot concede and just accept gruel like this. Ordering plane tickets is something I dread every time.

Anyone have good ways of keeping the energy to improve and not let this affect you, despite it doing?

Looks very cool. Will be keeping an eye on this for local network hosted and/or desktop application version. Thanks for sharing!
Regulating predatory practices is not the same as destroying a company. And if it happens to be the same, then that's probably a good thing. I have my problems with many things EU, but that hotels are allowed to provide cheaper prices themselves is just good for both the hotel and the guest.

I'm more concerned about the winrar in that photo. Someone please tell them about 7z
Wasn't this fairly special due to the amount of vapour? I remember reading it increased atmospheric water content by like 10%. It's so unimaginable to me that it simply is not related to record years.
It surprises me Tonga eruption rarely or ever mentioned in relation to the last years record heat. It was predicted when it happened that it might lead to some temporary years of more heat. I don't have the knowledge to say if this is the primary reason, but it seems disingenuous of experts and news media to represent this purely as a consequence of our emissions.

>...and you're served the relevant ads.

Should probably correct this to: ...and the analysis yields a personality model that helps best manipulate you

That it is currently being used for relevant ads is just one outcome, incidentally also an attempt at manipulating you, but that's more my disdain for the ad industry talking.

>I'm making non-fiction books

If there are factually incorrect things to the books hallucinated by LLMs, they're not non-fiction.

>...minimal factual errors

This is still really bad when pretending to be a book portraying historical events...

Wasn't this a news article last year? As far as I can read there are not really any follow-up information in this one
Shouldn't the title be corrected on HN to reflect the article?

It is not stated that no device exists - just that don't have access to one, as indicated by the title on the article itself: "Digital master tapes of the 3D series 'Reboot' found, but a playback device is lacking"

It might be true, I guess, that no such device exists, but that's not what the article says anyways.

This is a common sentiment, but I have yet to hear any reasonable proposal for solutions. It certainly is talked about a lot in my experience.

It is so easy to complain about overpopulation. But how would you solve it?

1 child policy? Didn't work out great in China. Some can have children, others can't? Doesn't exactly seem right. Culling? Yeah, no-one wants genocide.

It's a very complex problem and people are very fast to complain about it, without thinking much about what actually to do.
