I love the Economist but the are hopeless with AI. Most of their articles on subject sound like they were written by the Anthropic marketing department. Their Insider video intervi…

They aren't getting prosecuted because everyone involved has made nice and turned it into a marketing exercise. I heard about it on the radio (local Johannesburg radio station) bef…

For comparison the death rate from the vaccine is around 0.0001%. Yes they didn't want the hospitals to get full. That's when the younger healthy people who would have recovered ca…

I'm willing to bet that most funds will just change their reconstitution process to give themselves a much longer period to add new IPO stocks to their portfolios and end up avoidi…

Elon Derangement Syndrome I presume. Some of the pessimists are absolutely perma-bears who hate any thing to do with Elon to the point of madness, but still doesn't change the fact…

It's been fascinating comparing different news sources reporting on this. If you listened to some of the more X/ Musk friendly new sources this was going to be a slam-dunk and Musk…

My, admittedly cynical, view of it is that the main selling point is that you share your data with the person running the ODoH server. The truth is that very very few people run th…

I listened to Elon's interview on I think it was Dwarkesh ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYXbuik3dgA ) and it was way past just talking up his book for the IPO. I so wanted it t…

That only worked because the attacker didn't understand dnssec. If they had unsigned the domain first and then hijacked it they would have succeeded. I haven't been able to find an…

Most of those stars were on the first weekend. It's impossible to get that many stars that quickly in any remotely organic way.

I think the real issue is that its still in its painful growth stage and we have a way to go until we will start to understand better where its good and where its a disaster. I hav…

What's old is new again. I remember getting taught this in business school back in the early 2000s. It's also counter intuitive but it can dramatically keep your costs down as well…

We use it heavily in our Kubernetes environment. Everything beyond the basic install goes into a repository. As soon as someone commits a change, ArgoCD running on the cluster pick…

I'm sure there are LOTS of issues that need to be addressed, but the demand for the chips are so high that the incentives are overwhelmingly in favor of this continuing. If the rep…

The covid response was done poorly done in classic knee jerk style and a bunch of authoritarian aholes used it as chance to act like authoritarian aholes. Also yes once the virus e…

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding things Letsencrypt has been doing this since 2020 https://letsencrypt.org/2020/02/19/multi-perspective-validat... I.e they check from multipl…

I know this is completely off-topic and I'm sure it has been posted before but looking at "Angry Burritos" is definitely the most relaxing thing I've done all day.

The para-Olympics thrive with dramatically smaller numbers than trans women can manage. A 3rd category would do just fine. The muscular changes that happen during puberty are perma…

I feel you. I've got a 13 year old daughter with DS. We don't have 6 hours of screaming but she has definitely thrown her share of hissy fits. My personal favorite was driving into…

Am I missing something? There's nothing specific to rust over anything else in the article and seems to be a mostly hand-wavy "How to use rust with Shuttle" article.

That might be true but that doesn't mean we want to talk about it all day long every single day. Obviously HN's moderation and flagging system is a long way from perfect, but in ge…
