My local grocery store goes a bit further, selling € 280-350 laptops with 4 GB RAM and Win11 preinstalled. Absolutely bonkers.

At a glance the repo feels like a meticulous forensic investigation, but I couldn't find any photographs or other information about the alleged drone capture and where all this inf…

I really like your analogy as-is, but LLMs aren't reliable power tools. Asking for external help requires good communication and can be overkill for small tasks. Hiring a team of s…

Dan, your HN comments are a collection of beautiful essays that is becoming a reference library for healthy discourse. I think it deserves a dedicated website.

> zero-content Changing the default demo is a reasonable and actionable suggestion.

"Heavy-duty" calls for exaggerated impact and prestige. "Tony pioneered the famous red-and-green squiggles of Microsoft Word, empowering millions of users with a spell-checking rev…

The conclusion conflicts oddly with the author's arguments and interests. Attributing LLM usage would actually help the author avoid articles even touched by LLMs, but they indirec…

I really like this idea of rapidly extensible software, a browser is a nice sandbox for it! Models also seem to be much better at generating programs than "manually" executing a de…

Lightweight browser extensions generated on demand, now there's a good use case for what they seem to be actually building. Extending applications without having to launch a full a…

I laughed on the groundbreaking emphasis that you can move and resize the chat window because it's a Mac. You're up to something, maybe they really have a broken pseudo-window with…

Allegation of severe HN censorship. Further speculation on the political motives inside Y Combinator.

You are controlling your emotions with that technique, accepting and waiting emotions out is just not the only option. Getting indoors from a cold rain is an obvious choice. I can'…

Probably flagged by containing suspicious words, such as "children", "stripped", "strings" and "kill"

I stopped worrying after I began protecting all keys with a passphrase.

I hate generic name-text-submit-forms as the only method of contact. Somehow the article makes them the definition of not a "f** off contact page" - why? I think such forms are a d…

Even worse, dry heaping spoonfuls easily get 2-4x the volume of liquids fitting the same spoon. We can't just guess the recipe's teaspoon standard and blindly convert everything to…

I don't think data leak extortioners have any incentive to even pretend they won't keep asking further payment. Why not just offer a monthly subscription "service"?

Measuring pasta with calipers is prime HN material, thank you for posting this!
