Look at some overall browser/os usage stats and say again that the web isn't relevant on mobile, and look at browser usage stats for desktop and android and claim again that firefo…

As absurd as it is, Apple forcing people to use Webkit/Safari is, at the moment, good for the browser landscape. You already have websites that say browsers that aren't chromium ar…

Big employers (at least the ones I know) aren't regarding work, I guess with smaller ones it maybe is, especially with BYOD? I think the issue probably isn't uncommon for freelance…

> We expanded the M1 money supply from $4T to $18T and largely handed it out in a diffuse way. This is often quoted and either comes out of ignorance or is intentionally misleading…

And yet, every time GitHub Copilot comes up, people on HN are in arms about their code being used to train a model.

I obviously read it, otherwise I wouldn't have known which version they are using. They are banking on others, that do just skim the figures and tables, not noticing their usage of…

It does have the option to use a neural network (nnue) in its evaluation, but it is very different from what AlphaZero/Lc0 do. You can choose not to use it, so you still could have…
