I have owned two high end OLED TVs both got horrible burn-in within a year. I'll never get another. This will only be worse on a computer screen with permanent areas like menu bars…

You need Google Translate to read it. <--- read with a high degree of irony.

On my deathbed; "I wish I'd spent more time ranting about crappy software made by monopoly companies that just don't give a ... ack ... gasp xxxxxxxx"

Far to little effort and attention has been devoted to creating beautiful text online. The web set text back centuries. In some ways it was never this bad except for the monospaced…

Now maybe AI will buy their products?

"Apps" suck. Use a web ui and tell Apple and Google to shove it. If anti-trust and/or our consumer protestors in various US legislatures won't fix the app stores by breaking them u…

Wait a minute, is this a metaphor for our relationship with high tech? I want to breakup with my Pixel 6 because its camera lacks megapixels...

Today I drifted in AI generated dread feeling that half of what I read (including this article) was AI generated -- maybe more since it included AI generated music. Was it due to m…

Haha, followed the link in Firefox but it was blocked because of my ad-blocker. Who has the time to track all the stuff Google collects about you? At least spread out the tracking …

The consensus seems to be: - Cmd-v should paste to match formatting everywhere. No one wants that formatting or if they do they are in a tiny minority that can be served with some …

The article is a load of confused rubbish. I couldn't find anything remotely insightful or even coherent in it.

Very nice ideas, please please please someone pick this up! Doing anything on a mobile device is far more painful than people assume. A generation of people are now unfamiliar with…

Thanks. Why are paywalled posts left or even allowed on HN? I'm sure there are other sources of this exact content. I have nothing against paywalling unique content, just don't exp…

same as for non-logged in users, namely popular for various categories

If you are not logged in to YouTube you get generic crappy recommendations, why not this for someone without history turned on? I use the YouTube recommender extensively and unders…

Wow, Red Bull does give you wings!

Hype is ever-present, beware. OK. ML was overhyped but has proven useful, OK. But the new Generative AIs are fundamentally different. They are trained without any notion of a groun…

As a data scientist who has created AI applications and built many models over the last 10 years, I can say beware of ChatGPT. AI derived knowledge should be used only by those who…

You really have to ask? Don't force subscriptions! If everything I ran - occasionally - required a subscription, no matter how small, I would drop 99% of it. I have already done th…

Every new/subsequent round of funding will dilute your shares or options. If you have good management and investors, they will add "anti-dilution" shares when new funding is taken …

Some of the article's conclusions seem over simplified. Mastodon has federated moderation, some servers have almost none and others have strict rules--kind of like group message bo…

I played with a similar compositor when they first became possible and concluded that they were pretty and wow-able but 95% useless for your GUI.

Maybe true but is it causal? Said another way, maybe counties with poor medical facilities, poorer people, etc. are more attracted to voting Republican. The title might read "The d…

Doesn't work for washingtonpost.com, "disabled" for the Economist. WTF, legal problems?
