    I have an iPhone 14 Pro and honestly can’t tell the difference between mine and the newest gen besides the different colour options. Releasing a new iPhone every year at this point…

    Russia’s ok though. As Tucker Carlson pointed out they have bread and shopping carts.

    I enjoyed this game a lot. I believe I got to near the end, but unfortunately got stuck, and now returning to the game would require relearning all the mechanics.

    I guess the low pricing was so DeepSeek could gather training material. The provider on OpenRouter indicates that data can be retained.

    You might like IncusOS. I found some rough edges but it has some very nice properties like the OS being immutable, and having no shell.

    Is this not an apples-and-pears comparison? DeepMind is a research lab, not an LLM-pilled money furnace.

    >You can see what others are doing even if you don't have accounts on their sites Not practically. That works up to a number like three. Are you really going to manually poll every…

    Yes, I think many people use GitHub just for code storage, and that's fine. I casually browse GitHub sometimes in the same way I do HN. I follow friends and colleagues and through …

    Ramen in London is atrocious, not only is it priced as a luxury food (ramen is supposed to be fast and cheap), it's tasteless and often lukewarm. I went on holiday to Spain and fou…

    Running a git forge is easy, I find the social coding/network effect the stickiest part of GitHub. I want my code to be discoverable, and I want to discover others' code. I wanted …

    I never understood why being able to “play the game” is considered a positive signal. Getting a degree is the safe path, it doesn’t require any risk taking, and not much initiative…

    Me neither. Might take the expiry and “use within” on the bottle a bit more seriously now.

    Forcing research people to work on products seems like a reliable way to make them leave.

    Is that so? I feel like I’m seeing more Python and TypeScript than ever, especially when it comes to AI tooling, which is disappointing. I can’t fathom why anybody would want to co…

    Reading some of what Liang Wenfeng said on the investor call a few days ago gave me hope for humanity. I really want to believe AI is going to be a tool for good, not going to just…

    Most scrapers are unsophisticated, this is why Anubis "works." For this same reason, basic fingerprinting already employed by Cloudflare et al would have the same efficacy.

    The hashing has nothing to do with it. It's just an arbitrary hoop for clients to jump through that filters out the bots that haven't implemented that hoop. So why not just use the…

    The cost is nothing. The browser implementation is too slow, mobile devices are too slow, and hash algorithms with hardware acceleration are too fast. You can’t balance these three…

    I think you missed the point. How do you reliably identify and prove vibe coding? You accuse them of vibe coding, they say no I wrote it by hand. Or they say no, I only used a litt…

    I'm tired of SlopHub but at the same time how do you realistically ban vibe coding? This will cause a bunch of infighting with people accusing each other.

    Surveillance? Somewhat. HR culture? Absolutely.
