I too have nothing to contribute to this post.

Apple has had the "perfect existing technology" business model for FIFTY years and people are still surprised.

Unless you are Peter Steinberger, this was not your idea.

Um. You mean the same site that uses its captcha page to DDOS sites the owner doesn't agree with, and was banned from use on Wikipedia because the owner was modifying the archived pages?

I don't think we should be supporting this random guy, no.

In California, from Xfinity Cable, Google’s DNS consistently has the lowest latency.

From AT&T fiber, Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 is always the fastest, though Quad9 is a very close second.

It’s interesting that it’s different from different ISPs.

You can use 9.9.9.10, which is unfiltered, or 9.9.9.12, which is unfiltered and passes ECS.

The Mac build isn't really usable. You have to manually remove the quarantine flag.

I'm regularly surprised that people are willing to block YouTube ads. I know that Google gets that advertising money too, but you're also blocking revenue that the channel owner would otherwise get. I suppose it might depend what you're watching, but most YouTubers aren't big business, they're just individuals.

YouTube Premium is one of the few subscriptions I am completely happy to pay.

Do we know that Windows 11 has suffered due to the use of genAI or is that just a random snipe?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I bought a 128GB M4 Max Mac Studio a while back, and for a while I thought like I had done really well to buy it when I did.

The problem I'm having now is that no models are targeting RAM of that size. Everything is either much smaller, targeting laptops, or much larger, targeting hardware well out of reach of enthusiasts.

Please, AI people, start making models targeting 128GB machines again. The last interesting one was Qwen 3.5 122B.

Claude Code is extremely "honest", and uses that word 10 times in that short transcript.

You should watch the Apple Newton commercials too:

I love stuff like this. There's a great episode of the 90s PBS show Computer Chronicles with a ton of these:

(Though at the time of this comment the Internet Archive seems to be down so if the video doesn't load, that's why.)

Clive Sinclair designed one of these in the 90s. It actually sold reasonably well, but was limited by the available battery technology of the period.

The title says "major browser", which none of those are.

Why is this statistic relevant?

Japan, who had the first earthquake early warning system, did research and discovered that scary sounds made people panic, which is a bad thing in a situation when you need people to act quickly. Their standard alert sound is a fairly pleasant chime.

The downside is that some people now have panic reactions to the EEW sound, since it is standardized. I guess sometimes you can't win.

If you look up the sound, don't play it if you are in Japan. That's extremely no bueno.

Outside in the real world? Sure.

Here on HN? I don't believe that.

It's surprising that it's not common knowledge that "Chiropractic" is not medicine, nor a science, and the field is associated with vaccine misinformation and unproven supplements.

It's funny how virtually everyone on HN is using AI to write code and simultaneously dismisses all interesting new software as written by AI.

It is the work of but a moment to check for trustworthy sources. It's sad that this skill seems to have been lost.

Fun fact, two (very expensive) wristwatches have actual atomic timekeeping in them, instead of just receiving a radio time signal: the Bathys Hawaii Cesium 133, and a few different shaped from Hoptroff London.

All released 2013-2015. Not sure what happened then for there to be suddenly two.

I don't see how. One is a full-screen commercial. The other is a free album in your library.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, and maybe it depends on the type of the black hole, but if you were to fall directly into one, or even enter an orbit too close, you would still be seen - and seen for an extremely long time.

Republicans are not on the side of liberty and privacy. So emphasizing that he's a republican makes the case even more strongly.

You can argue that this shouldn't be about politics, but how many years of living under an authoritarian government do you need?

Everything is about politics now.

When did we stop making buttons that actually look like a button?

The bas-relief era of UI design now feels like a golden era, and the early "Aqua" versions of Mac OS X the ultimate evolution.

Everything since then feels like we're regressing.

The "add comment" button for this comment is literally a solid blue roundrect. It's not even obvious that it's clickable.

Presumably, it’s cheaper.

This only works for two dimensional mazes where both the entrance and exit are on an edge and there are no loops in the maze.

If you introduce a bridge, or a tunnel, or put the goal in the middle, you can get stuck in a loop.

Doom cannot have hallways above or below other hallways without teleport hacks.

But you could do it in Quake.

"If we want to order food in a country where we don't know the language at all, we're forced to go into the kitchen and use a see-and-point interface. With a little understanding of the language, we can point at menus to select our dinner from the dining room. But language allows us to discuss exactly what we would like to eat with the waiter or chef."

Ironically, Japanese menus almost universally have pictures of the food, and often (amazingly detailed) plastic models* of the dish in the window.

I frequently wish this was adopted by western restaurants, as being surprised by what actually arrives on my plate after I order is a regular occurrence.

I'm fully onboard with see-and-point.
