Is it me, or do all upscaled photos look like it's a video game, or the face is made out of smooth plastic?

Next time you write an article with AI, tell it to add a summary at the top. Or, even better, just leave your original thought in one paragraph. I’ve no desire to read kilometers o…

This whole privileged port thing is an outdated convention from the time when Linux ran on mainframes. Depending on your use case, it can be perfectly fine to lower it. I have set …

WordPress is an abomination. It hasn’t been a blogging platform for a long time now. It's a poor man's website that tries to do everything. The developers are too busy stroking the…

How this AI slop gets into top of HN?

Have to admit, quite impressive that someone is still paying this much for Plex given the free alternative like Jellyfin that can do pretty much everything the same. What’s the psy…

It's very important IMO that the ECC failures get reported and logged. The DDR5 on-die correction is not true ECC; the correction happens silently and is not reported or logged. I …

All the network traffic from that browser is routed through a server. My IP inside that browser was in India and on CloudFlare network. I don’t particularly trust Puter. Why not ro…

Measuring success in LoC is so wrong… It's like bragging that you took 10,000 steps to reach the store by walking in circles when you could have taken 500 steps if you just walked …

Graphene OS user here. Almost all of the apps I tried work fine. All the banking apps I use work. Have you tried reaching out to the app developer or the service and explaining wha…

I’m having déjà vu… ThirdReality had released “Voice and Music Assistant Dev Edition,” which looks exactly like Pine Voice Smart Speaker. https://www.thirdreality.com/products/voic…

So this whole thing is about romaji… Judging from your article and the comments you've been writing, you have strong feelings about it. Okay, you don't need kana to understand verb…

Don't know of any books that get it right. I don't think you can get it right the first time, it would be way too complex and technical. Most people would give up on the first less…

I get that: getting stuck on something, losing all interest, and just stopping altogether for a month or two. Happens to me from time to time. Genki, for example, did a pretty awfu…

There’s nothing wrong with trying to make sense of something new using terms and concepts you already know and that click for you. We all do it, me included. I was speaking more br…

Don’t want to sound negative, just want to share my observations as someone who’s been actively learning Japanese for a couple of years. I much prefer how Japanese people actually …

The first tool I tried, Background Remover, I can't even upload the image. AI coded slop

I find myself leaning into the food authenticity camp. To clarify, I define “authenticity” as follows: a dish is cooked with particular ingredients in a particular way at a particu…

From my experience with Python, both personal and professional, I find it immature and not well-suited for large codebases. Typing should have become part of the language a long ti…

I'm not that interested in the game much, but I really like how the repo with the Claude things is set up and the wording. I’ll use some of it in my projects. It’s well balanced IM…

The article gives no mention of what exactly was done to achieve the speedup and whether or not the kernel is still able to perform the same function as before. I’m doubtful this i…

It would be interesting to see a study comparing languages where writing encodes sounds like English versus languages where writing encodes meaning, like Chinese. And also how a pe…

That’s our new reality. Some people seem not to not grasp that all those AIs are just mathematical models producing the next most statistically likely token. It doesn’t feel anythi…
