Friction-free is a big ask. Brave tried something a while back with their Brave Payments, but of course no one trusts them and it’s not going anywhere.

I suppose the cost of hardware, network usage, and electricity is still under 0.05? I mean, we know the unit economics for LLMs don't make a ton of sense, except if enterprise cust…

They’re bureaucrats interpreting the law as they see fit. We’ve had updates blocked because the word Android was mentioned in our in-app change-log.

The endgame is that all apps publish a list of the functions they don’t have, to appease a baroque and obtuse review system.

The author doesn’t really address the question either. Even if I agree with them that work isn’t all that important, paying your bills and eating food is, so… ahm.

I don’t disagree with you at all, but it’s not like we didn’t have alternatives. We could’ve just paid for the content, directly subsidising the creators we like.

I agree with all your points, except that 1) people can travel through other means, and 2) people can travel less . I have plenty of acquaintances that could do with a bit of disco…

Weird take. I’ve used both and both were perfectly good at adhering to my instructions and guidelines. Now I won’t touch Altman-related products, but I doubt the newer models from …

Cynicism, but I’d say because they charge by the token for API users?

I would argue that the most wastage is in how people embark and disembark. During Covid I flew a few times back home and they did line-by-line from the middle through both doors, a…

Boy what happened to DB since 2022? That was when I last travelled in Germany and I was never able to relate to everyone’s online complaints about them. Did Berlin to Nessau throug…

It’s a privilege with most externalities _not_ taken into account, i.e. it’s hurting us all because we ignore its true cost and make it available in vast quantities. Since the glob…

Dumb question but if the all-wing design has major advantages (and basically no negatives?), why haven't we been pursuing this for a long time? You’re telling me that just recently…

Random allocation of citizens to seats might actually make for a better government. We could try that one, since the MBAs-and-lawyers clique with money/influence have been doing a …

I wonder if the harness itself is not token-efficient? It would be fairer to compare K3 using the same generic harness, such as a Pi setup with some sane extensions for token optim…

Others have pointed out enough issues such as ethical sourcing, but here’s 2 more: 1) It’s hard to be excited about something that has been promised to destroy your job. 2) New mod…

This is one of the shittiest comment sections I’ve seen on Hackernews all year. It’s prime-rib astroturfing or bots spamming “excited to use this/see the workflows”. We should flag…

Yeah, I can 100% understand your frustration. It’s also a bit opaque as to why it’s re-encoding. That said, we are a family so I can’t get everyone else to stream to mpv, so Jellyf…

Back-of-the-napkin math supports that, but baby births aren’t uniformly distributed. Well, anyway, I’m sure they thought about it. Thanks for explaining how I got my Belgian ID num…

Newspaper ads weren’t targeted specifically to YOU based on what the newspaper knew about YOU.

Are there never more than 1k babies born in a day?

Setting HW-encoding is a tad complicated indeed, it’s hard to debug WHY it’s not working. But once you have it, you’re good. Jellyfin has been rock solid for us in 2 years since we…

You can check why it’s re-encoding, there’s some guides out there. In my case it was the subtitles! Turns out Safari can’t handle all types of subtitles. Might be worth looking int…

And the old horse you had lying around might also become Trojan now. Yuck.
