I'll take any scripting language over Lua any day. Every time I had to extend a tool that used Lua as a scripting language, I abandoned that tool because Lua was such a pain. I gen…

About the same way you'd know Anthropic is getting you the model you picked. Which to me is not really obvious, given clear differences in quality throughout the day and month

It's hard to tell the difference because they nerfed Pro to oblivion, it used to be much, much better model (even for non-coding/chat)

EU doesn't impose a minimum manufacturer warranty period. What it imposes is a _seller_ guarantee, for which the manufacturer's limited warranty conditions don't really apply direc…

I'd be surprised if Reddit wasn't selling tools specifically aimed at seting up and managing operations like that

I think the idea is that _regular_ people will use CC client but via a 3rd party reseller, and the reseller intercepts the data for distilling (or anything). Requiring the users to…

It doesn't, I get that it's _a_ benchmark. It's just not a good or insightful one, and having it posted so often on HN feels like low quality spam at this point

Upvotes are cheap, the fact that something is upvoted doesn't mean it's valuable (see: Reddit). Another thing is how insightful is the discussion under a typical pelican comment ar…

Care to share an example of this backrestless chair? Is it like a regular chair just without the backrest, or has some other differences? Does it have armrests for example, and if …

From my experience, these trucks make much more sense on a road in the US. European roads are fairly small so these trucks look _even bigger_, whereas in the US everything is massi…

> to fit two motorcycles in the back of the Ranger, you need to adjust the angle of the handlebars awkwardly to fit both on the bed. can't you position one bike facing forward and …

Thank you, that makes sense. But in that case it doesn't do much for the op's argument, which seems to be that Europe _prefers massive cars_. US still has much more of obscenely bi…

> The Ford Ranger actually sells better in Europe than it does in the US. And the larger F series trucks sell more than an order of magnitude more. Do you have any sources for this…

On Android most apps started bundling androidx/jetpack compat libraries that help deal with various API versions, and generally make the development much, _much_ easier. These days…

Google Play offers such functionality already, it's called App Bundles. Instead of uploading an entire APK, the developers can upload the app assets that get bundled into device-sp…

Yes but it would be nice to see the targets, so you know how far off from an optimal solution you are. I know I'd spend more time looking for better solves if I knew the current on…

It's automatically granted but the app needs to declare it in order to access internet. Because of that it's not enough that the app _currently_ doesn't request internet permission…

I'd love the same test but with various Mac versions, and with Intel and Arm machines

It's still possible, you just need to declare which other apps you query for. Even then, there are loopholes that still let you query for all apps installed on the device. But HSBC…

And how often in practice are terms and conditions attempted to be enforced in the first place? No need to challenge them if you can ignore them

It looks like Anrhropic has great visibility into what hackers do. Why would it also see what legitimate users do?
