Biganon··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
> How is anyone (as in not us, the tech nerds) supposed to reason about this?

People have more than enough brain power to reason about this. "There are several distributions, I recommend this one" is not exactly rocket science.

We really need to stop treating people like they have an IQ of 30 and only 5 minutes of free time per day, or we'll never defeat Google et al that purposefully maintain us in this belief.

Biganon··on Backups Aren't Simple
Making mixtapes for others is an act of love that must never disappear
Biganon··on Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers
There's no "sticking together" with a country that legally elected DJT, sorry.
Biganon··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I'm a French speaker, not an English speaker.

Which might actually make me less likely to make certain mistakes, precisely because I'm not influenced by pronunciation, only by grammar (I actually have to think about the words I use)

Biganon··on Play Store blocks AuroraStore, hurting GrapheneOS users
Same. Twint (basically the Swiss Venmo) insists that my phone is not compatible with it.

But using Aurora I can install it just fine and it works flawlessly.

Biganon··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
"as many have noted", I suppose.

I'm always baffled at how many people write "of" instead of "have", they don't even sound the same

Biganon··on “I just chose words carefully”
Funny tidbit: "missile" used to be an adjective, "a missile weapon" = "a weapon than can be sent/thrown".

Same with cereals, "cereal" was an adjective that meant "relative to the goddess Ceres" then "relative to bread/wheat". "Cereal plants" -> cereals.

It's called "nominalization (or substantivization) by ellipsis".

Biganon··on “I just chose words carefully”
Funny because "fixing an orphan" is hard in real life (assuming they've lost both their parents, you have to find them a foster home) but easy in typesetting (just add an empty line before), whereas "fixing a widow" is easy in real life (just remarry) but hard in typesetting.
Biganon··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
God please no
Biganon··on Debian votes to allow "responsible use of generative AI"
Read the HN guidelines again
Biganon··on Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs
Of which jurisdiction?
Biganon··on Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs
In legal doctrine.
Biganon··on Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs
No, it's not.

It might be criminally prosecuted, but "stealing" has a precise definition that usually implies removing someone else's possession.

Biganon··on US Military's cyber command unit grapples with cluster of deaths by suicide
That's just schizobabble / TI bullshit (not saying their suffering is not true and worthy of empathy).
Biganon··on App Store Rejection of the Week: Dark Hours
Essaie de lire l'article en entier, Quentin.
Biganon··on Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't
There's also guerilla gardening, where you plant stuff where you're not supposed to, typically municipal soil
Biganon··on Effective HTML
No. The exact opposite, in fact.
Biganon··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
Oh it's blatant to them as well, but you see, they get to own the libs, which obviously warrants setting the world on fire
Biganon··on Canceling "Hey"
Socialism has very different definitions depending on who you ask.
Biganon··on Canceling "Hey"
You're thinking of Mullvad.

Daniel Berntsson, a co-founder and co-owner of Mullvad, made a massive personal donation of 5 million Swedish Krona (roughly $500,000 USD) to the Örebro Party.

Proton is Swiss, not Swedish.

Biganon··on Canceling "Hey"
TIL Pakistani and Rroms are the same people.
Biganon··on Kill The Cookie Banner
How fortunate the state with none
Biganon··on Tell HN: Namecheap gave my account to an unverified third party
I have everything at Infomaniak. Granted, I'm Swiss, but I think they're great for anyone.
Biganon··on Workspaces – Explore the workspaces of modern creators
This does not spark joy. Why would I create a nice work environment just to prompt Claude all day long?

Fuck this fake life, I'm out

Biganon··on [dead]
I used to own long.cat

I remember I had to lie on a form and pretend it had something to do with Catalonia

Fun times

Biganon··on International chess federation sanctions Kramnik
What an asinine comment.
Biganon··on Claude Code is steganographically marking requests
How does it lead to the end of humanity if China reaches it first? You really think the US is more trustworthy?
Biganon··on Claude Code is steganographically marking requests
I did notice the tailed f, but what makes it an easter egg? I thought it was just a funky ligature
Biganon··on Claude Code is steganographically marking requests
> HN hysteria is ridiculous.

> this is a race that will result in the extinction of humanity if you fail in these goals

Biganon··on Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers
But saying he's a reptile is way too cool and badass. Lord Voldemort can be compared to a reptile.

Zuck is a tiny, pathetic piece of shit who throws tantrums when he loses at board games. He's not an evil genius mastermind, he's a metastasis.
