Seems like an awful idea. I hope that that "watermark" will soon be discovered, reverse-engineered, and that tools to remove it will appear.

The sad thing is that usability of computers has not improved. More RAM has bought us absolutely nothing when it comes to UI/UX.

How? Linux developers don't live in Illinois or even in the USA for the most part.

It's not, you're just watching CNN too much.

HN readership and comments would greatly decline if people did not usr their phones in the can.

This. The Internet was a better place when people hosted things they wanted to share at home or on their ISP's servers, without the expectation of making money.

It's not awful, but if you are doing research or anything complex and don't want to spend hours fighting it, Sol is not an option.

Yes, but you can create multiple accounts. It has to be inconvenient enough or no one would pay for the higher tiers.

Why does an open weights model cost nearly the same as GPT5.6? $1.14 vs $1.23 on the cost index. Since you can't presumably run this on your own hardware given the model size and h…

I just go back and ignore the website when that happens.

No, those times are not fading. We are constantly opening up new revenue streams, like Venezuela, and maybe soon Iran too.

Thank you for reminding us that electric mowers are garbage.

If you want actual privacy (rather than promises from Apple or Google), what you need is a mini-PC running Linux with the Plasma Bigscreen DE. You then use a Web browser rather tha…

It's rather similar to publishing a non-peer-reviewed preprint on arXiv.

I like building my own keyboards. I get to choose the keycaps, switches, PCB, foams, cases. If some component fails or does not feel right, and can replace it. Building won't be ch…
