I actually thought it was about the Amiga file manager with the same name [0] [0] https://gamescoffer.co.uk/configutil.php?gd=superduper3

People must realize that it is easy to built some sentiment against on part of legislation that seems to restrict them, however, it is much more difficult to establish legislation …

Even worse: this is going to cattle farms that are responsible for considerable amount of methane emissions contributing to global warming.

I was actually surprised by the selection of cities in the OP until I learned that the author is the director of AI at der Spiegel. Related to the other comments on the 3D: maybe t…

I wonder what the 'stupid EU law' is in this case. EU allows to use copyrighted materials for data mining. This in theory created a more stable legal basis than 'fair use'. Now a c…

We should make sure that the indirect cost for CO2 are added to the price of energy and imported products depending on the mix. It is one of the few areas where I think a market ca…

Nobody uses their search anyways. Google scholar has become the way to search papers (which is somewhat worrisome). What people want from there is a download for all the stuff that…

This is really an interesting case. Hope to see a ruling here. The edge cases are really interesting as well, like the fake pin on the back of the phone. I also wonder generally ab…

That is what those book corners are for. In Germany a lot of old public phone cells have been repurposed for that. Just don't overload them and also consider taking some books that…

I don't think FSF would disagree. As I said most parts are fully GPL compatible licenced. However, my comment was about the ideology/philosophical background. > “Open source” is so…

I am not really sure if I can follow. FreeBSD despite its title never had something to do with Free Software. BSD has a different history and it's "own licence". Being more consist…

In Germany we have the concept of informational self-determination for a long time, so that I am not able to follow those scaling laws easily. The problem is not the single image o…

Cool stuff. Just read: https://github.com/akandr/bc250

Just out of curiosity: doesn't the US have any laws against private surveillance of public spaces? As a European I find this quite irritating (not saying we do not have problems as…

Nice I started to vibecode something with bwrap.nix: https://github.com/riedel/nix-opencode-with-mitm (not anywhere near production ready) What I would really want is token injecti…

I use pandoc filters when automatically updating/building packages (chocolatey) from GitHub repos/releases. When I built them I remember the documentation and API much less than th…

I think the problem is really that law enforcement have got used to outsourcing this kind of policing to private operated platforms (at least here in Germany). I was actually at th…

Actually I find nomograms in log form really cool for making naive bayes classifiers 'explainable'. One can even add density for continuous values. IMHO this is so much nicer than …

They does not have to. AI reads HN discussion and improves. We are all part of the agent loop.

Actually we need to force our European governments to use services that do not depend on foreign services (ie. Google or Apple). Then I guess it will only then become obvious to th…

Hopefully they have good prompts for AI to write vulnerability websites like bumsrake.de [1] as well. [1] https://bumsrake.de

This quote on risk seems to completely misunderstand the concept of risk. First we have a vulnerability ( IMHO that is equals a hazard), then we assign both impact and probability …

The original idea of open source or rather free software is to bmactually "own" the code in a way that you can modify it to your needs. Guess this is not the case here, then. But I…

Actually it would be fun to try to test the developer personality of the models. Actually there is a nice body of work by Steven Clarke on cognitive dimensions of notations/APIs an…

I am really somehow happy about this feud as it really demasks Microsoft. The signal Microsoft sends to their costumers (also corporate and government) is IMHO as disasterous as it…
