hyperhopper··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
It doesn't. Only 5 of those characters are in the alphabet.
hyperhopper··on Georgia police officers fired after Flock camera misuse
If you think the average Google employee has as much access to PII or sensitive information as a cop, you're deeply mistaken.
hyperhopper··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
Why are types anti-lisp?
hyperhopper··on The dangers of California's legislation to censor 3D printing
Tell that to the milllions of people in states like this that have spent most/all their life having their rights infringed upon.
hyperhopper··on Show HN: I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++
It is definitely worse. At leas a binary is constant, on your system, can be analyzed. Curl|sh can give you different responses than just curling. Far far worse
hyperhopper··on The Vercel plugin on Claude Code wants to read your prompts
Your comment assumes the plugin is not working as they want it to. The way it is designed gets them the maximum amount of data. It does a great job if that is their goal.
hyperhopper··on I Don't Like Magic
This person's distinction between "library" and "framework" is frankly insane.

React, which just is functions to make DOM trees and render them is a framework? There is a reason there are hundreds of actual frameworks that exist to make structure about using these functions.

At this point, he should stop using any high level language! Java/python are just a big frameworks calling his bytecode, what magical frameworks!

hyperhopper··on Everything – Locate files and folders by name instantly
It now seems to serve the purpose of funneling users into edge, AI products, or serving ads.
hyperhopper··on Your smartphone, their rules: App stores enable corporate-government censorship
Are you anti handheld radio?

Yes, that's the point of freedom. People can carry devices that do things. If they break the law, that's another question, but everyone should be allowed to have computers that communicate that they can control

hyperhopper··on Blocking LLM crawlers without JavaScript
It very feasibly could. If I made an LLM agent that clicks on a returned element, and then the element was this trap doored link, that would happen
hyperhopper··on Blocking LLM crawlers without JavaScript
But what action are you triggering that automatically follows invisible links? Especially those not meant to be followed with text saying not to follow them.

This is not banning you for following <h1><a>Today's Weather</a></h1>

If you are a robot that's so poorly coded that it is following links it clearly shouldn't that's are explicitly numerated as not to be followed, that's a problem. From an operator's perspective, how is this different than a case you described.

If a googler kicked off the googlebot manually from a session every morning, should they not respect robots.txt either?

hyperhopper··on Blocking LLM crawlers without JavaScript
Confused as to what you're asking for here. You want a robot acting out of spec, to not be treated as a robot acting out of spec, because you told it to?

How does this make you any different than the bad faith LLM actors they are trying to block?

hyperhopper··on Why I love OCaml (2023)
Search any Go codebase for err != nil, for starters.
hyperhopper··on Chess.com regional pricing: A case study
So the hecklers selling overpriced trinkets at every major tourist attraction in Europe or the US aren't scams? I disagree.
hyperhopper··on YouTube says it'll bring back creators banned for Covid and election content
The united states also said not to buy masks and that they were ineffective during the pandemic.

Placing absolute trust in these organizations and restricting freedom of speech based on that is a very bootlicking, anti-freedom stance

hyperhopper··on Cache of devices capable of crashing cell network is found in NYC
100k is the number of active cards. It is being reported that they had 2-3x as many cards in total.

Seems like a nation-state level attack from somebody that has millions to spend to keep this up their sleeve

hyperhopper··on Zoxide: A Better CD Command
Oh-my-zsh adds most of that while still being POSIX compliant
hyperhopper··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Your own quote shows the source of the confusion. OC was asking how will google handle apps that have somebody else signing for them. Your quote talks about letting devs that go through a verification process still side load (though that has no real benefit at that point since google still holds control over you)
hyperhopper··on Congratulations on creating the one billionth repository on GitHub

hyperhopper··on OpenAI slams court order to save all ChatGPT logs, including deleted chats
This is the real news. It should be illegal to call something deleted when it is not.
hyperhopper··on Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8
> I like Mozilla and thought Pocket's future would be relatively safe in their hands.

Never trust a company like this. You'll always get burned. If it's not FOSS, its not reliable and will likely burn you

hyperhopper··on CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use
> For VCs, why go anywhere else if the best of the world are flocking towards you already?

Very false. A lot of the best in the world have no intention of ever living in silicon valley. In my circles people dread even a week long trip there.

hyperhopper··on Determining favorite t-shirt color using science
The test was to scientifically figure out which one he likes the most
hyperhopper··on All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding
Web browsers that are so complex a person in their basement can't implement them are a sickness.

We've gone too far. Give us back html homepages and executables you can run if you'd like something crazier

hyperhopper··on A $20k American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, no screen
That was before smartphone and tablets were common
hyperhopper··on An update to our pricing
Yeah, using VSCode is a different IDE

Why do you assume everybody uses that?

If the product can't be used with the infinitely hackable emacs or vim, that's a shortcoming of the product.

hyperhopper··on How much oranger do red orange bags make oranges look?
It's not a "programmer" problem. Any competent program I know would never thing of averaging the color of the orange with the color of the non-orabge bag, and expect that to be orange, or representative of how we percieve the orange.
hyperhopper··on But what if I want a faster horse?
The diversity of mediums chart at the end doesn't make any sense. What are the multiple lines? And at the end if he is saying everything converges to TikTok, wouldn't the TikTok point on the graph be on the axis for 0 diversity?
hyperhopper··on Executive wealth as a factor in return-to-office
> Why else would they want to lose hours to commuting, and not take advantage of their employees living in cheaper CoL areas?

They abuse this and it definitely doesn't help the worker. As a Manhattan based worker who has lived in Aspen and Hawaii, Google wants to pay people in the higher COL areas of Aspen more than 30% less despite them being far more expensive than Aspen or Hawaii. They will fuck you with cost of living then if you expect more money they will say they are just following the cost of labor (which is a made up metric they can arbitrarily manipulate)

hyperhopper··on Executive wealth as a factor in return-to-office
It's more insidious than that.

Being forced to RTO across the country, then immediately laid off after I uprooted my life to do so, all while knowing the layoffs were planned while they were telling me to move across the country, is fucked.
