Is that the earthquake in question? No. So your hair-splitting is motivated by what again? Rationalizing HN overreacting so that people can be entertained? Everyone here is "winnin…

Okay. Let's make every such instance news? HN is exaggerating to feel close to the action. It's childish. There is a trench off of Tokyo that is likely to rupture in our lifetimes,…

8 is serious. 9 is Pacific subduction rupture. 7 is not really top news of the day. People with friends and family exposed don't really appreciate being false-alarmed with 7s and 6…

Bill Gureley's talk on regulation comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cO3-MLHOM&t=1447s The reason barking at open source will only get the dog thrown into the river i…

It can't be one language, and that's the big problem. It's inescapably a bunch of tiny DSLs. Once you see both the inconsistency and the necessity for inconsistency, it becomes muc…

Would like to hear the rest of this story. Don't have an X account atm.

Just like how the web was won? I think Mozilla is chasing a past formula, but the projection isn't linear enough to remain consistent, and the critical parts of the outcome, utter …

The algorithm advances are going to crash this so hard.

Making a note of this as an obvious technical alliance that should have existed for decades.

The OS running the program isn't even perfect. I tire so much of complainers who want someone else to make all their tools infallible yet want to do nothing. Let's just full-stop t…

Presuming there is an infinite pool of programmers who tirelessly work for a low price?

Was the human labor?

Present-to-present time, especially while we wait for VK_EXT_present_timing to become adopted, can only be indirectly measured. This makes just-in-time rendering unnecessarily hard…

What these hardliners are standing for, I have no idea. If the code passes review, we're just arguing about hues of zeros and ones. "AI" is an attribute that type-erases entirely o…

Doing short form updates on BlueSky, but that is the worst algorithmic feed I have ever experienced in my life. I gave it some data. I indicated I didn't want to see some posts. Th…

> What does that tell you? That HN was a neat community fifteen years ago, but like all things cool made by early adopters, it will eventually attract a following hoping to be some…

> calling it out Calling what out? Did we suddenly invent a durable Turing test that will last more than six months? (We didn't, but some people "just know") The only durable metri…

"very, very obvious" and yet so could be your comment or mine. Can we stop this kind of farming comment already?

That's so wonderful. Glad you got your grievance's about ESR off your chest. Hopefully in the following forty years, you will be able to move on from events from the previous forty…
