You state that like it's a fact. I didn't realize we understood everything about consciousness and the brain. The more you know.

I would think anesthesia, in specific doses, would only attenuate consciousness...if it stopped other processes your organs and nervous system would stop. I guess this confirms tha…

Most government sites, especially open-source ones that want international contributors, do a decent job at internationalization. It doesn't seem like much of a reach to have that …

They're going to have to work on the i18n. It defaulted to English but the entire page except like 3 words are in some other language.

Our government failed the citizens and let outsourcing and wage suppression destroy the US tech industry...positioning the country far behind other countries in technology supremac…

$12,000 for the base model is insane. I have an Apple M3 Max with 128GB RAM that can run 120B parameter models using like 80 watts of electricity at about 15-20 tokens/sec. It's no…

Why does data collection, ostensibly something that should be mandatory for proper signals to run the country, stop when the government shuts down but we can still send billions to…

This is the kind of hacker news I'm here for

I don't know how many bad things Microsoft has to do before consumers realize they are a terrible company and you should stop buying their stuff.

Just don't try to build it from source haha. Compiling Postgres 18 with the PostGIS extension has been such a PITA because the topology component won't configure to not use the sys…

The US government should track how many Americans don't have health insurance, instead of caring so much about GDP or the stock market. It's a KPI that would clearly show how poorl…

Care to explain why? I like Electron but I've switched to Tauri because it feels way faster and more secure.
