I've used Laravel since v3. Taylor's ego has started to tick me off in the last ~5 years. And, I feel like him buying a Ferrari made his priorities apparent. I'm not sure what happ…

Ignoring tariffs for the moment... No one should be shocked that Amazon would do this. Remember back when it was controversial to apply sales tax to online shopping? The biggest lo…

Upvoted because we’re seeing the same behavior from all AI and Seo bots. They’re BARELY respecting Robots.txt, and hard to block. And when they crawl, they spam and drive up load s…

Okay, but why not work on making atmospheric methane more useful/practical? CO2 is less of a warming influence than methane, and there have been huge natural gas leaks (of methane)…

So this is just an advertisement for your company's services? Noted...

Upvoted because your ToS is very clear about the images we scale aren't used to improve training. Thank you for that. I have some pretty old photos I may have to pull out and upsca…

So 5,000 qbits to crack a 50 bit prime key. That’s an interesting factor. Assuming a similar scale, 204,800 qbits would crack RSA 2048 keys. I’m curious why it scales to needing “m…

Fruit trees can take a very long time to mature and grow flowers/fruit. Hopefully it can pollinate with itself, and isn’t a kind that has sexes.

I still believe Recall to be a very bad idea, a feature no one wanted, and a risk even as an Opt-In choice. But at least it will be harder to access. I want to see a security resea…

Maybe you misunderstand the market my employer serves? We've built sites for clients both huge and small. Our clients like WordPress because it's well supported, easy to roll out, …

It’s the excess, unaccessed content. The indexes haven’t been well optimized in MySQL (MariaDB is better). But still. A lot of small companies only pay $20/mo for hosting …

I have used and developed in Wordpress since 3.2. Mullenweng is a dictator and maverick, and I’m not convinced that he’s good for the Wordpress ecosystem. But neither are highly cu…

Wait, so they added 30g of erythritol and observed negative impacts? Most the time I see it around 7g plus other sweeteners. It’s almost never alone now. I bet they need to look at…

I think this flag was added because a lot of these sex workers want to post pictures without flagging their sensitive media. Then they dog pile replies on all the trending tweets, …

I bet this is less time than my uBlock Origin rules have saved me. <_<

Uh... Post-truth has been here awhile. They’ve had the capacity to fake/alter live events for decades now.

Isn't this just AI-powered cat-fishing? Even if that's not your _intended_ use-case, I anticipate it being >90% of all users being cat-fishers.

Bun is a very nice runtime. I played with it for several hours, and was impressed by how snappy it feels.

You should check the guidelines: > Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curio…

Tailwind is also bad if you do know how to use it. The need for an atomic abstraction off every combination of property and value… is not a sign of skill or good design.

I think https://zed.dev might have this?

I think that GPT4 (and all others) are overhyped, and overblown. ML/LLM does not fundamentally understand the code. It has to be trained based upon contextual information as to wha…

Well, that isn't the use-case I would need. The whole app would be written in PHP, so there would be no node process to execute the function. Invoking the function in node would re…

This is very cool. However, most our use cases would be in PHP apps. I see that you’re working on a code generation API. Would that be the step necessary for generating the PHP inv…

Ever since I saw a picture of bacteria found in a tumor I have been fascinated. The more correlations I see uncovered, the more I wonder: did the bacteria colonize a tumor it found…
