createaccount99··on Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy
I'm a bit surprised at how little Middle East has tried to pull this lever. Shouldn't they have a lot of say in Trump policy, with just a "we'll pull out of these commitments to your personal circle."
createaccount99··on Human Rights Watch says drone strikes in Haiti have killed nearly 1,250 people
> Prepare to go to jail for the rest of your life.

There will only be consequences for the losing side, if even then. See WW2. Options 1/2 are valid, option 3 should be "cope being evil."

createaccount99··on Life as an OnlyFans 'chatter'
That's pretty smart.
createaccount99··on Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters
> Grok is integrated into Twitter is a pretty good thing for discussions, as it is certainly a more objective and rational voice than most human participants

Hard agree.

createaccount99··on MiniMax M2.5 is beating Claude Opus 4.6 and MiniMax is 17x-20x cheaper
Nobody in the know is paying for Claude anymore, it's so overpriced. It's just the enterprise users.

Is that 'Why "Shota"' readme section tongue-in-cheek? Too devilish
createaccount99··on Zed editor switching graphics lib from blade to wgpu
Clean change, all things considered. But, like, what? What's to say you won't run into a billion problems here, too?
createaccount99··on Why is the sky blue?
Is the source for the blog, open? What do they use to make the interactive charts? Vibe coded new stuff, or based on some existing framework?
createaccount99··on Can Ozempic Cure Addiction?
Statins are, in fact, not blood pressure medications. They are cholesterol-lowering meds.
createaccount99··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
Brussels = location of EU headquarters, and in common lingo Brussels thus means "People running the EU and deciding things on everyone's behalf."
createaccount99··on UK infants ill after drinking contaminated baby formula of Nestle and Danone
Not similar in terms of intent
createaccount99··on Guix for Development
You can stop recommending that flow (nix on guix), it's not good. You'll know if you try it.
createaccount99··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
> unusual L for Anthropic

Not unusual, not for Anthropic.

createaccount99··on 'Source available' is not open source, and that's okay
I agree with this. The new definition of "open source" has been crafted out of malice. _Anyone_ new to programming runs into this confusion, and that's evidence in itself.
createaccount99··on 'Source available' is not open source, and that's okay
MinIO made their source AGPL, but then cloud providers hosted the service "as is" and make money off it, with MinIO team getting zip. That still complies with AGPL but is not monetarily beneficial to the MinIO team.

At least that's my understanding. They closed source completely, but a source-available license wouldn't have run into this issue.

createaccount99··on Apple's slow AI pace becomes a strength as market grows weary of spending
> I would bet significant money that,

You can do that right now, on the stock market. Sometimes it's good to put your money where your mouth is, that forces you to correct your world view.

createaccount99··on Ask HN: Should "I asked $AI, and it said" replies be forbidden in HN guidelines?
Forbidden? They should be mandatory.
createaccount99··on Show HN: Fresh – A new terminal editor built in Rust
Would love to see something for diff views (e.g. side-by-side/unified). I mostly program through CLI agents, and so seeing the changes it makes is probably the primary thing I use the editor for, these days.
createaccount99··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
So why exactly did they close source, what were they losing by having AGPL? I thought AGPL + selling private licenses to corps was a fantastic method of getting some income for an open source offering.
createaccount99··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
I thought that literally was the point of AGPL. If not, what's the difference between it and GPL3?
createaccount99··on DeepSeekMath-V2: Towards Self-Verifiable Mathematical Reasoning [pdf]
This habit of making advertising repos on github confounds many.
createaccount99··on Firefox 147 Will Support the XDG Base Directory Specification
Perhaps you should've started to launch your shell in "~/home" instead of "~". Now your home is 1 level down, and the only downside is typing "/home" after the tilde.
createaccount99··on Solution to CIA’s Kryptos sculpture is found in Smithsonian vault
The actual reason is that you'll have people going to see the doctor because their cheek's itchy (they're lonely, or clueless).
createaccount99··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
Frankly the idea of managing the db myself seems like a horrible idea and a lot of work. But perhaps I've been indoctrinated by the big cloud.
createaccount99··on Show HN: AI toy I worked on is in stores
Give your kid your phone with the chatgpt app realtime active on it, they'll love it
createaccount99··on Why Signal's post-quantum makeover is an engineering achievement
Yeah let's only start work once it's too late. That'll teach em!
