Or you could just google the syntax to accomplish the same task faster and with fewer resources.
askl··on We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub
So many security breaches involve the internet in some way. Maybe we should just turn it off.
askl··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
You never know, the ciphertext might have contained a solution to that issue.

Isn't it just the default slopcoded website design?
askl··on O&O ShutUp10 – The antispy tool for Windows 10 and 11
Linux is a great FOSS alternative.
askl··on Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development
> What do you hope to accomplish by shamelessly lying?

YC funding.

That will happen after the founders "successfully exited" so why would they care.

askl··on 99% of My Website Traffic Is Bots
I didn't read the article, but the AI illustrations were off-putting enough to close the tab.
askl··on AMD acquires Taalas to boost inference performance by etching models in silicon
Might be worse because it takes time between designing the silicon and having the first usable chips. So they're outdated the moment they hit the market or even before that.

I mean are there even any reasons to buy a new phone?

If I compare the Pixel 6 Pro I'm using at the moment to current models, they are functionally identical. The only reason to upgrade might be getting a fresh battery and access to firmware updates.

Otherwise I'd be happy to continue using it for the next 10 years.

askl··on Three Six Mafia – Data about "6/6/6 dating" (2024)
Maybe by being something different than the regular slop on the HN front page. And just being a high quality article in general.
askl··on How to earn a billion dollars
Or

4. Do a "successful exit" and let some other fool figure out how to make the company profitable.

askl··on How to earn a billion dollars
Crazy that you're giving that advice away for free. You should be selling a course instead.
askl··on How to earn a billion dollars
Or even better, a world where billionaires aren't able to exist.

There needs to be a wealth maximum, afterwards you just get taxed 100%.

askl··on Ask HN: So what happened to Facebook "localhost" tracking?
> That insurance isn't free, so paid for by member dues?

Yes, obviously. That's how every insurance works.

Are you not allowed to leave the US?
askl··on Commission fines Temu €200M for breaching the Digital Services Act
Ordering ISPs to DNS block temu would probably be easier and effective enough.

Or maybe getting google and apple to make the app not available in the EU.

askl··on Last.fm is now independent
Thanks. My first thought was "independent from what?". I'm a last.fm user since 2006 but never noticed any ownership changes.
askl··on Nearly half (44%) of every T-shirt goes to waste before you even buy it
In the near future our AI assistants will try to scam each other.
askl··on Web Serial Support in Firefox

askl··on Intel Arc Pro B70 Review
> it's clearly a graphics-processing focused card.

Yes, that's what the G in GPU stands for. It's great to see that there are still manufacturers that understand this.

askl··on Deep under Antarctic ice, a long-predicted cosmic whisper breaks through
I just turned off my ad blocker to see how bad it is. Because with it turned on I didn't see any popups.

They have Google ads on their site promoting a paid ad free version of their site? WTF? Why would you pay google to put ads for on your site for your own service?

askl··on BYD Seal 08 debuts with Blade Battery 2.0: 1,000km range, 5-min charging, 684hp
Nice to see innovation in the EV market.

Meanwhile legacy EV maker Tesla continues doing nothing other than silly toy projects. (Or rather hyping up silly toy projects and actually doing nothing at all)

askl··on Arch Linux Now Has a Bit-for-Bit Reproducible Docker Image
Ignoring the real benefits of security updates to prevent the unlikely event of supply chain attacks sounds like a weird tradeoff.

askl··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
> Your next phone will be heavier, bulkier, more expensive, and less reliable as a result of these regulations.

Huh, phones are getting heavier, bulkier and more expensive already with every new generation? There's no regulation needed for that. Also more fragile because everything is made of glass.

askl··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
> If you really want to be able to self-swap your own battery, you can just buy an Android that has a replaceable battery.

Those don't really exist anymore.

> Do we need to regulate something that isn't a problem?

It is a problem and needs to be regulated.

> All regulation has downsides, is it worth paying this price here?

Of course the upsides of regulations are worth it. The downsides might cause slight inconvenience to the manufacturer, so that doesn't really matter.
