But whose cloud infrastructure do they use? (I don't know, but it might likely be AWS, GCP, or Azure.)

I'd have expected an email too, but surely 'preorder accepted' acknowledges the payment?

I didn't say anything about USB? If you're referring to upthread wanting RAM to be standardised like USB (not standardised on something like USB), I took that to mean backwards com…

Sure, but it's not the only reason to use them, you can improve mouth feel and prevent melting even if the fat content's higher. I'm struggling to prove a point because Waitrose do…

Yeah but DDR3 was faster then and still is now - I can't imagine my M4 Mac having a slightly older version RAM would meaningfully affect me, but another 24GB of it (or whatever I h…

It's not wrong for all food, surface temperature measurement has its place, you just have to understand it is surface measurement.

..sure? I don't personally care what either enforces, since I'm in neither jurisdiction. I wouldn't have thought the US is any more (or even as ) likely to personally, but sure. I …

Ime those people don't want to see the content at all; xcancel is used mainly by people annoyed by login walls (I even have an account! It's just annoying.). (By 'those people' I m…

I think the thing most of us missed in dismissing GPT 2-3 as 'next word in sentence predictors' was that recursively this allows something resembling thinking, 'reasoning'. LLMs ar…

I expect everyone who can conceive of something other than Android or iOS* on a phone is on HN, and not a bureaucrat in Brussels. *(or BB, webOS, Windows Phone 7 Phone OS Phone Mic…

Xanthan, guar, and locust bean gum are to control melt and improve texture – many people add them to homemade ice-cream even.

"AI says" – if you interpret it and think it's correct and stand by it (and I trust your judgement) then I really don't care where you got it from initially, you don't need to tell…

A lot of non-LA/desert scenes are LA sets.

AUR packages consist of packaging a third-party software (whether binary or source built as part of the package) for use on Arch. Most updates are just bumping the upstream softwar…

It's a wordy (/AI?) way to say it, but I took it to be commenting on our lives being more 'abstract'/digital than they were, so naturally a lot of our language is less physical. Ou…

I'm also a native English speaker, sounds perfectly normal & commonplace to me.

There is more risk in someone adopting something with established users though. Some people ( cough ) might be a bit less careful if they see something has tonnes of users, votes, …

Interesting one if you look at Google Ngram Viewer – usage dropped off massively to 70s/80s, and it's picked back up since but not to 1953 or earlier levels, so even that doesn't e…

Cries in London

Yeah, I don't disagree there should be more of a barrier, I remember being surprised I could just adopt things. Just explaining the intended use.

I've used it (not for abuse). It's simply volunteering to maintain the package after previous maintainer(s) have explicitly disowned it, knowing they no longer have time for it or …

I think this comparison is also assuming the distribution of request & requested floor is uniform? When actually near pairs are less likely (I'll just take the stairs) than bottom …

Spicy opinion: a reinvention of commits by and for people who use commits like 'File > Save'. ...but if the end result is more popularity of 'stacked' logical changes, yay anyway?

Bit of a stretch... It's a dead-end private road, also sometimes called a driveway, where the owner has their own rules for how it should be used.

68.4% still don't enforce it , i.e. adoption is just over 30%, not nearly 70%.
