They deserve it. I'm in the UK. The smartest developers I worked with in my ~20 year career were all Polish. The hardest-working and most skilled tradespeople that worked on my hou…

The EU is completely different to a parliamentary democracy. Only the unelected European Commission is able to originate and repeal law. The elected “Parliament” is only able to vo…

This website tracks AI model political leanings: https://trakkr.ai/bias Grok differs from some of the other models (it's more libertarian, and more right wing), but all models have…

In the EU that's the norm not the exception. A little taste of Europe for our American friends :-S

Just my idea. I'm working on a side project https://newsavista.com/invite/ASAD68923E that aggregates news and tracks news trends and changing sentiment on the major stories. With c…

This is excellent. A minor suggestion - I'd like to be able to render the current graph taller (full height of my browser window). Also some sentiment analysis on the "people" grap…

The Guardian either wilfully or ignorantly publishes stats from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry. Anyone who repeats these stats is an accessory to the terrorist regime in…

It was Hamas’s war - started by a terrorist organisation butchering, abducting and raping young unarmed citizens. The scale of the aftermath is what happens when an advanced democr…

General Electric was just fine when Thomas Edison died in 1931. And Apple was fine after the tragic early death of Steve Jobs. Companies like this become bigger than their founders…

Just heard back from Google regarding my report of the ad that served malware to me: > Dear Chris, > We’re writing to let you know that we reviewed your report (ID 5792409692803690…

Firstly, Mike, thank you for all you've done with HomeBrew - an amazing product. None of my ire was directed at you or HomeBrew. I am so frustrated at Google, not just for this inc…

This demonstration is the clearest I've seen so far, showing the gulf between Opus and Fable for app creation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzJCly4YgDQ The Age of Empires clone …

I reported the ad to Google immediately, and when I checked back an hour later the search results were clear. But I suspect it's only a matter of time before another one slips thro…

Slightly tangential, but I went to set up Homebrew today on a new Mac. Stupidly clicked the top link in Google (which was sponsored but not obviously so). Took me to a spoof Homebr…

The whole premise of this article is troubling. I don’t want there to be a single standard for vertically-integrated EV design. I want BYD to compete with Tesla, each having distin…

As soon as data starts being exfiltrated to Google (or any Big Tech firm), be sure that governments will demand their copy of the stream too. The non-disclosure clauses in mass sur…

> Never expected to see the Critical Drinker mentioned on HN. I find myself agreeing with the majority of points he brings up in his videos, but I suspect the majority on HN would …

The software, OS and chips are completely irrelevant to the discussion about the physical design of batteries. As for ergonomic differences, I see sliding phones, folding phones, b…

I think Hollywood has been churning out derivative content for a while, and catering for "modern audiences" (as opposed to the silent majority) too much. One or two exceptions - Pr…

This should be for the market to decide, not EU bureaucrats. If I want a thicker, clunkier, less waterproof phone with a user-replaceable battery, I can already buy a Fairphone or …

Alongside talk from the UK Labour government about intervening on VPNs, I'm getting uneasy vibes about this move, especially since Microsoft is one of the most government-friendly …

It would be illegal to post such rhetoric, and I can't name a single social network CEO who's been investigated and found guilty of posting such rhetoric. Perhaps I missed a court …
