Oracle also has a vested interest in defending an expansive view of intellectual property rights. They lean very heavily on litigation as part of their business model and will want…

The vast majority of what I see out there is relentlessly negative about AI. It is kind of absurd to call this the "alternative" unless the implication is that the rest of AI skept…

> The real question is, who can verify that what the AI built is good and true? Recently, there's a lot of talk about AI allegedly finding security flaws in software. That is an un…

It is crazy to me that any parent of young children would let their kids watch YouTube videos on their own. Maybe this happened gradually enough that some parents didn't notice, bu…

You have joined a year and a half ago, have low activity, and 74 karma. OP has been here for over a decade and has loads of activity. You aren't in a position to post this.

This is even more misleading. You have to eat to live, but absolutely not all water usage for food is mandatory. If you gave me a budget of how much water I could "use" water every…

This is a HN comment reply masquerading as a novel submission.

It is wild that people are still posting this kind of thing in 2026. Some folks really are living in a different world.

The database is being reverse engineered and published anyways, as per the article.

They are useful for putting URLs in print materials like books. Useful for sharing very long links in IRC and some other text based chat apps (many google maps links would span mul…

Not when everyone logs in as ec2-user.

So not being able to download any of the games you have purchased ever again?

The major difference is that in the type of reading Joel Splosky is talking about, you are coming in not knowing the code's intent. It was written by one or more other people at so…

Again, implicit in this comment is the belief that I am out to or need to convince you of something. You would be the only person who would benefit from that. I don’t gain anything…

It doesn’t really matter what this or that person said six months ago or what they are saying today. This morning I used cursor to write something in under an hour that previously …

Do you just mean within Amazon? Because outside of Amazon, there was major resistance to AWS/cloud computing in general from older devs highly invested in the status quo. I have sp…
