There are diminishing returns, especially for more mundane tasks. Fable is nice, and I bet Sol is also nice. But there really isn't much of a difference right now when using someth…

Yeah, not only the name: they’re also going with various semiotic signs that are strongly associated with a subscription service, including their website design, choice of typograp…

This is malware. It's doing something the user doesn't acknowledge or want, that has potentially destructive/negative consequences. Expecting users to have read the website (when t…

You can introduce a social/trust element to it, something like: Join our Discord, chat to us, come to our "office hours" video calls first, then you get to contribute. Maybe also l…

This is not a regular code review of new code. The original code still exists, and is sitting side by side, just in a different language. You'd be just looking at both files, side …

A bit sad to see this. Of course they are free to do it the way they prefer, and there are successful projects like this (Notably SQLite) but there has to be a reasonable middle gr…

It's not impossible, or even that hard to review the entire rewritten codebase. 10 engineers each reviewing 5,000 LoC a day for 20 days can do it. And that is being highly conserva…

To get to the point where these artificial gates substantially matter for interop, you've already cleared 99% of the hurdles, and you can get away with just spoofing the User Agent…

I'm honestly surprised they weren't before

This seems like a very reasonable system to ensure e.g. you and your classmate/friends can still interact as you grow up and switch age brackets. I wonder how families etc deal wit…

Can a Roulette wheel set find vulnerabilities in software?

Yeah if I understand it correctly, this is more like 2160p@2x which is... unusual?

You don't need exclusive, 24h access, so people can pool, share or rent the hardware. Solar energy is also now cheap enough that it likely won't really be a problem.

Given how fast the Open Source models have been able to catch up their closed-source counterparts, I think at least on the model/software side this will be a non-issue. The hardwar…

Many microwave models have this. It's either a dedicated button or holding a specific button down

Looks good. A minor piece of feedback, though: might be just me, not sure if anyone else has this pavlovian conditioning, but seeing the black banner/bar on top with the YC logo/co…

There have been many, many, desktop improvements since 1995, some of which came from the Mac, some came from Windows and some came from UNIX/Linux & friends. - Arguably the dock, t…

Just to clarify the meaning of the measurement, it doesn't mean they're 98% interoperable across everything, it's across the specific set of goals for 2025. (Which is still really …

Games are super large nowadays. IIRC Steam uses P2P for the update downloads, so you should be able to saturate whatever link you have, and the SSD should be substantially faster t…

Very weird USB-C port placement choices... - 2 USB3-A on the front - 2 USB2-A on the back - 1 USB-C on the back If you want to plug an external USB hard drive or SSD at full speed,…

These remind me of the Elliptic Curve pieces from another post on the HN front page right now ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44315321 ) I wonder if the poster was inspired …

The jobs created by the need to build and maintain robots (and industrial machinery in general) are very few compared to the amount of jobs the machines replaced. The new jobs that…
