Vaslo··on London Police Deploy Facial Recognition at Protest for First Time
Mods here are getting ridiculous- who is the mod that removed my comment for just saying literally the opposite opinion of the original commenter? Why would my comment come down but not the OPs??
Vaslo··on Poland is now among the 20 largest economies. How it happened
The rest of Europe would be also afraid if they didn’t have the nice cushy buffer of Ukraine and Poland to give them breathing room.
Vaslo··on Poland is now among the 20 largest economies
So you’re taking from others who earned it and give it someone that didn’t? Got it.
Vaslo··on Child marriages plunged when girls stayed in school in Nigeria
Agree 100%. You are far more likely to be flagged if you have a reasonable but unpopular right leaning opinion with a similar edge to the left leaning opinion with just as much “sass” as the response.

I don’t feel like it was always like this.

Vaslo··on Child marriages plunged when girls stayed in school in Nigeria
Your comment is noted and appreciated about the reason for the ban but OPs point is well taken - pro-Trump or right leaning comments that are very reasonable but unpopular positions to leftists here are more likely to be flagged, even when the original post they respond to is just is inflaming.
Vaslo··on The Vatican's Website in Latin
Why? Most Russians are Orthodox, not Catholic
Vaslo··on Let's Buy Spirit Air
We can barely make an mmo with a bunch of kickstarters who threw in 50 bucks 5 years ago complaining about “the excessive money they laid out” squeaky wheeling the games to death, this is going to be even worse.

Great idea in theory but…

Vaslo··on Show HN: SimDrive – a browser racing game with your phone as the controller:D
When I open it on my phone it just gives me a QR code, but I’m already on my phone and I can’t find another way to start. What am I doing wrong?
Vaslo··on OpenWarp
You aren’t the only one who didnt get this off the bat. I still don’t understand why I do this instead of just typing Claude my terminal
Vaslo··on How Mark Klein told the EFF about Room 641A [book excerpt]
The HN headline really should use the title of the article. Almost no one knows what room 641F means.
Vaslo··on To my students
The nonsense about not using AI for defense is a start
Vaslo··on To my students
There were never going to be repercussions for this, so not very courageous.
Vaslo··on Website streamed live directly from a model
Does a good job of laying out some facts about individuals and not being too opinionated. I typed in Trump and Kamala separately and it gave simple facts about both - good work on this!
Vaslo··on Soul Player C64 – A real transformer running on a 1 MHz Commodore 64

Brings back memories

Vaslo··on Ask HN: Is GitHub's #1 repo fake? build-your-own-x 491K stars
Broader discussion here: https://awesomeagents.ai/news/github-fake-stars-investigatio...
Vaslo··on Swiss authorities want to reduce dependency on Microsoft
You can do all those things. But as someone who used VBA extensively and often got hired because of my automation skills, not having VBA and other aspects of excel would be a non-starter.
Vaslo··on Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner
My fail2ban is loaded with DO scanners everyday.
Vaslo··on Connie Converse was a folk-music genius. Then she vanished
Very interesting find. Her music is on Spotify. Not my kind of music but definitely has a periodic feel to it and can put you some place else in time.
Vaslo··on Show HN: Pyra – a Python toolchain experiment inspired by uv and Bun
Not clear what problem this is solving that uv and bun don’t already solve? This is like a solution looking for a problem.

If you enjoyed and learned from it I guess that’s what really matters.

Vaslo··on Silicon Valley is turning scientists into exploited gig workers?
Marx is the last person people should listen to when it comes to economics.
Vaslo··on Silicon Valley is turning scientists into exploited gig workers?
Your comment about PhD topics incremental reminds me of what someone once told me about getting a PhD - you learn absolute everything about almost nothing.

That’s not a knock on PhDs, rather it’s a waste of great talent to be so hyperfocused on one deep incremental topic, then to hope someone has a job for you in that specialized topic upon graduation so you can add the most value.

Vaslo··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
I just responded exactly how the OP responded to prove a point.
Vaslo··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
You guys seem to be obsessed with them and taking their money.
Vaslo··on EFF is leaving X
“What do you mean people are still on X? No one I know is using it anymore!”
Vaslo··on EFF is leaving X
Unfortunately it’s gone the way of the ACLU, and instead of fighting for their original cause they’ve become legal brownshirts for the far left. I know lots of folks who were big on the EFF but even my Trump disliking libertarian friends have had an EFF falling out.
Vaslo··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
Sounds like someone has some billionaire envy. It’s ok, you did the best you could with what you had.
Vaslo··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
Yeah it’s like they don’t want their children murdered, crazy
Vaslo··on EFF is leaving X
lol what? Still hundreds of millions of users on X.
Vaslo··on Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?
Do you homelab or self host?
Vaslo··on When legal sports betting surges, so do Americans' financial problems
We all have the occasional friend that brags about every time he wins money at the casino. If you accompany them a few times, it’s incredible how the “always winning” story just changes.
