stemlord··on Generative AI Hype Peaking
>most code will not be written by humans

That cant even be considered a useful metric seeing as I spend similar time reviewing gpt written code

stemlord··on JSON has become today's machine-readable output format on Unix
Though jq syntax leaves a lot to be desired
stemlord··on So Many Unmarried Men
Are you suggesting the population should grow forever, and that we'll "innovate and adapt" past resource consumption? Feels a bit techno-utopian idealistic no?

Would much prefer a "painful fiscal responsibility" over living out some overpopulation nightmare scenario

stemlord··on Apple is once again advertising on X, more than a year after stopping all ads

stemlord··on Official DeepSeek R1 Now on Ollama
This documentation needs work. The entire project description appears to be

>Get up and running with large language models.

Okay... I have so many questions up-front before I want to install this thing. Am I stuck to a client interface or what? System requirements? Tell me what this is

stemlord··on NYC Congestion Pricing Tracker
You don't understand: plumbers, electricians, facade repair, any business that requires wholesale goods shipped to them in a truck are all things that will ultimately pass the cost to normal people. Increased cost of living will help ensure every last "normal New Yorker" is squeezed out of the area
stemlord··on Microsoft disguises Bing as Google to fool inattentive searchers
Bing is a lot better than google for adult content. Bing actually has pretty neat image search tools
stemlord··on NYC Congestion Pricing Tracker
It is expected that fees will also be passed down to non-wealthy locals by services whose vehicles need to utilize these roads as well-- they will raise their prices
stemlord··on I made $100K from a dick joke
Honestly ebay is currently a notch better than amazon, IME
stemlord··on Tell HN: Need help, locked out of Google account with 10 years of personal data
At the very least the average person can simply download all of their google data every year or so to soften the blow considerably. something that's actually super easy to do. https://takeout.google.com/
stemlord··on Next stop: Miami
Plenty of south florida rain is not helped by windshield wipers. Anyway I wonder if waymo sensors actually have better visibility in such conditions than people do
stemlord··on ISPs say their "excellent customer service" is why users don't switch providers
i had the same experience with fios over webchat with a customer service rep-- told them the price increase was too much for me and if there were no other options i'd have to go back to spectrum and they immediately opened up with my original rate again
stemlord··on The 'Return to Office' Lies
I like being in the office when everyone else is wfh. When everyone is in the office I can't focus, am stressed, little gets done.
stemlord··on Show HN: I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties
It wasn't a judgement remark, "earned income" is what you call that which is not passive income
stemlord··on Show HN: I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties
I thought "earned income" was an actual accounting term (to define a type of taxable income as opposed to passive income):

https://itap1.for.irs.gov/owda/0/resource/Commentary_Files_R...

" Earned income is money received as payment for work, including wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions, tips, and net earnings from self-employment. For tax purposes, it can also include long-term disability payments, union strike benefits, and, in some cases, payments from certain deferred retirement compensation arrangements.

Income such as investment profits and Social Security payments is considered unearned income, also known as passive income."

stemlord··on Reports of Unwanted Telemarketing Calls Down More Than 50 Percent Since 2021
Can't relate
stemlord··on Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop?
Could you recommend a thinkpad model you feel is built like a tank?

I bought a used t540p 5 years ago and it's been the crappiest laptop I've ever used. Terrible display with about 15deg of visibility. Flimsy plastic parts that broke in multiple places during replacements. Display randomly got damaged while in my bag, keys constantly falling off, even after fully replacing the kb when keys just stopped functioning, worst trackpad ever, RAM just started failing.

Honestly the framework is practically macbook-quality in comparison to a used thinkpad IME but maybe I'm looking at the wrong series or era?

stemlord··on Show HN: I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties
To be fair OP's website explains that most of the money isn't earned income. I'm happy for them though

stemlord··on Show HN: We built the simplest Online Unit Converter for everyday use
I often need a quick and easy conversion tool for mapping a val from one range to another

Also have a hard time finding good resolution/aspect ratio calculators

Finally the most fraught online calculator tooling I know of is projector throw distance and part specs calculators/visualizers

stemlord··on The business of gutting failed Bay Area tech companies
> having staff contribute to building it could influence the culture in a positive way

I hate this idea. That is not my job

stemlord··on Make America Date Again
I feel like all these dating crisis articles are specific to straight people because relatively speaking queer people are having an easier time than ever before. Maybe I'm in a bubble
stemlord··on Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom
>Given the clearance between the main part of the Mac mini and the slight lift that the vents give it, it's most likely that users will have to tip or lift the device to reach the button
