Peaches4Rent··on DraftKings is using AI to behaviorally target chronic gamblers
It's only the most cutthroat people who end up being in the position to make the decisions. So they end up making the decisions that come naturally to them
Peaches4Rent··on Ask HN: Can we please limit the AI news flood?
Oh but the world is ending due to skynet anyway. So why bother with batteries? They'll turn us into ones after we pollute the sky

Peaches4Rent··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
Belief? Any stats to back it up?

From when is your immigration going to be 0? 1400s or 2010 or yesterday?

Just so you know, I think comments like these are just unproductive.

Its one thing to correct the meaning of the word "self sufficient" and its straight up bad faith to talk past the actual meaning of the comment

Peaches4Rent··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
Aah, so by definition only a select few can do it
Peaches4Rent··on Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
Don't think that it matters if it was effective.

There's a reason attempted murder is a crime even if it was unsuccessful

Apologies for the noob question, but what is an IR?
Peaches4Rent··on European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS
If the other kids are jumping off bridges, I would have a great reason to tie my kid to the house. But this isn't that obvious to kids. They will be resentful, they will hate your guts. This will have lasting consequences to your relationship
Peaches4Rent··on European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS
They want to protect the children so that they can take them to the island
Peaches4Rent··on Former NOAA employees built Climate.us to preserve climate data and resources
No one will believe said citizen with expertise because they don't a have a degree. Every billionaire backed media circus will ridicule said citizen.

Example: Gary Stevenson is an inequality expert with a masters in economics but people keep demanding where are the PhD grads with his opinion, which there are, but it's a statement to distract and discredit

Peaches4Rent··on Valve open-source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your own
Yep. And I will mentor them

"Locked down" is an incorrect way to look at it.

It follows a different philosophy. I've been using atomic systems for the past year or so as my main driver.

If you want to install something that needs superuser access, you do it inside a container. This protects your OS from breaking.

The number of times I've accidentally installed something which broke my window manager or compositor is now zero

Counter. As a group of 4 dota players who are software engineers, we have a collective 20k hours.

All of us refuse kernel level anti cheat.

Dota overwatch is the best we have available for anti cheat. It's better than kernel level anti cheat

I say, be happy this means your 7 year old pc will be future proof for longer!

Framework provides adequate price to value, what are you saying?

This doesn't have the best value

Peaches4Rent··on Steam Machine launches today
True. But if it doesn't work, a refund is quick and easy
Peaches4Rent··on Steam Machine launches today
Yeah. That's great,but I think it gets a bit expensive if you try to go small form factor and silent. You need more premium parts for that.

So if you want something small, it's a bit more expensive

Nope. Just built a pc this Jan. Ram and GPU prices are insane.

This is what you get for the price. Maybe a 100-50 max difference.

I've been looking at building a TV box for a while and this was the number it was hitting

"But before you start snickering at those stupid Americans, know this: every other country in the world has passed a law just like this in the years since."

The reason is copyright law keeping the monopoly going

See https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2026-01-01...

Quote: ``` Anticircumvention law originates in the USA: Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 establishes a felony punishable by a five year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine for a first offense for bypassing an “access control” for a copyrighted work.

So practically speaking, if you design a device or service with even the flimsiest of systems to prevent modification of its application code or firmware, it’s a felony — a jailable felony — to modify that code or firmware. It’s also a felony to disclose information about how to bypass that access control, which means that pen-testers who even describe how they access a device or system face criminal liability.

```

Booooo

Yeah just milk those suckers dry. Hope dare they try to do something good and ask to get paid

That statement isn't proof of anything.

If I start a climate crisis cult, doesn't mean my predictions are wrong

Any proof of this?

If only hackernews had /remindme like on reddit
Peaches4Rent··on Can we have the day off?
Not the point.

If you don't get paid more for being more productive, someone else is getting richer. That means they buy the houses in your neighborhood, which means you can't buy it because they outbid you

Peaches4Rent··on Mullvad exit IPs are surprisingly identifying
Bull.

This is the best VPN regarding security and privacy there is.
