Really? What's the punchline? I like jokes.

This wont change anything it will just make it less evident to those who missed a day of checking HN.

It's called context taint.

This suffers from a common pitfall of LLM's, context taint. You can see it is obviously the front page from today with slight "future" variation, the result ends up being very formulaic.

Somewhat offtopic curiosity: Is there anything that Japanese fishkeepers do to keep the water and livestock inside the tank during earthquakes? Here we have no such risk for earthquakes, so a 600lb tank of water 4ft off the ground isn't much of an issue, even when bumped. I'd imagine earthquakes of this frequency could complicate that.

I wonder sometimes why we stopped at Unix, as if we all just happily said "..There!" and plopped ourselves down as if the work was done. Plan9 was our future and we let it rot unseen- a thriller with the last chapter removed.

Much obliged. Have a good weekend. Your new gray hairs are en route :)

Models are trained with content scraped from the net, for the most part. The availability of content pertaining to those specs is almost nil, and of no SEO value. Ergo, models for the most part will only have a cursory knowledge of a spec that your browser will never be able to parse because that isn't the spec that won.

Nonetheless, here is a link to a list of the specs you asked for: https://www.w3.org/Style/History/Overview.en.html

A tweet I saw earlier:

    Mark Gurman @markgurman

    BREAKING: Apple’s chip chief Johny Srouji informed CEO Tim Cook he is seriously considering leaving the company and would likely continue his career elsewhere rather than retire. Apple is urgently pushing to keep him. He remains at least for now.

We actually had a myriad of competing specs. CSS proper wasn't released until december 1996.

Nobody will agree with this hot take, but I was around in the perl years, so maybe take this opinion with a grain of salt:

Perl wasn't arcane on purpose, the bar for being a programmer was just that much higher, born through necessity as we didn't have as much material to easily turn someone into a capable engineer, so to make anything work you had to -really- be motivated to learn, and that extended to the entire skill tree of things that happen before learning to code, like simply navigating the machine and being able to reach the realization that you needed to write something on your own.

Perl evolved to suit the needs of those that used it at the time, and it reflected their interests, skills, and abilities.

These days everything is so abstracted, so available, so easy, all of the material to learn literally anything is free and at your fingertips, programmers don't need to be that knowledgeable to identify a need and generate some code that mostly addresses that need.

If they think they're anywhere close to being far enough "in the lead" to force ads on paying customers, they're mistaken.

Also, stop with the "wE FeLlL ShOrT", corporate platitudes mean nothing in 2025. We know you don't feel that way, you know you don't feel that way, cut the bs.

That only works on reddit, this is aiming to be a place for insightful comments and fruitful discussion

There is a vouching system for comments that are flagged.

Just as the delivery vans participate with local police through FLOC, so will the drones, soon. Remember, if it can be seen from a public vantage point, it's not private, including what can be seen through windows and behind fences.

I'd prefer you focus your attention elsewhere

When you see these claims it's important to frame the assertion contextually as in the transformer generation, AGI is 10+ years away. This does not, however, account for the next architecture that will do more with less.

Your brain doesn't live in isolation, your body and the fitness of it are crucial to fueling that brain.

And for each of those names there are 100 rust zealots tainting their legacy with their behavior.

Are you new? PHP was the standard for that type of app at the time.

>his attempts to bulk up and become a MMA competitor notwithstanding

a lot of us nerds value physical strength, it's 2025, we're not mouthbreathers anymore.

Ah yes, the signature snark from the Rust community. This is the type of thing that repels people.

The endless crusades are indeed tiresome.

what's the punchline? I like jokes

Automated or not, editing titles is not cool. What an odd double standard.

'an' precedes a vowel sound, 'a' precedes a consonant sound.

You should work on that.

Your sex life shouldn't be intertwined with your work life.

Can somebody do the napkin math on an estimate for how long for us to get plasticized hair and nails and teeth?

You wont encounter that type of change with mushrooms at a conventional dose. Normally when people talk about the change in neural structures etc, this comes from higher order psychedelics, or sometimes lower order psychedelics at heroic dosages. Think of it like electroshock therapy in the sense that enduring this large eustress, change is made.
