It used LK99 up until today!

I got a Google Foobar challenge back in 2022. Never ended up completing more than the first level, but would be interesting to know if they're still using it for hiring.

I'm not sure if I've just already found all the good music released in the past few years by my 10 favorite artists or what, but the recommendations I got were either songs I didn't like or songs that Spotify already tends to recommend me (which are great, but I already have them all saved)

But your program needs to build spice racks.

Oh wow, you're one of the guys from LineageOS right?

Very interesting article that talks about the progression of Google's closed source app alternatives: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/googles-iron-grip-on...

I always thought that sure, they're deprecating old apps for the closed source Google version, which sucks, but at least AOSP still comes with barebones versions.

But now AOSP, a mobile phone operating system, will come without calling and texting ability? How can Google even do that? These apps, old as they may be, can also still serve as useful reference points for making your own OEM-branded app.

This is basically what you can get with Nix, sharing a binary cache between machines and getting an identical dev environment / package setup.

"rolling back" an Ubuntu update? Considering how atomic rollbacks work on NixOS, what do you mean by this in the context of Ubuntu?

It's nix run, the dot means current directory, # means flake, cowsay is the attribute, and then anything after -- is passed to what's run by that command, which is typical of many Unix programs.

So it's run the cowsay attribute from the flake in the current directory, passing flakes are neat as input to cowsay.

Minecraft works great on Nix, I've had no problems with just installing it like any other package.

Nix is also cross platform. I have a ZSH and NVim configuration from my NixOS laptop, and when I got a company MacBook, it was extremely simple to use that same configuration and get an identical setup.

Hard disagree. My first phone was an iPod Touch in Grade 4, and by Grade 5 I had already jailbroken it with one of my friends. By Grade 6, I built my own computer, got a phone with data, and by Grade 7 was running Linux on my desktop computer, which I used in Grade 8 to compile an Android ROM from source. I'm now an intern for an Android app development company. If I didn't get a phone until Grade 8, not only would I have had way less exposure to technology as a hobby, but I wouldn't have been able to enjoy playing mobile games with friends.

The dive into using it in AOSP is very cool

Yeah, 16in MacBook Pro M1 here and I never hear the fan.

Alexa had filters for their Super Bowl ads.

It's only for Pixel phones.

Personal malice, no.

Profit, maybe...?

"Young Hermit Crab, how you know about that? My rap name - I was Young Hermit Crab for a week. For a week! And you know this" - Ugly God

"You with the feds?" - Tyler The Creator

"How do you know this?" "You're Lil Uzi, we have to know it!" "I'm glad I'm a good guy cause if I was under investigation for something, I'd be scared right now" - Lil Uzi Vert

And there's a whole bunch of compilations of artists freaking out during his interviews on YouTube.

Is the problem that it was Saudia Arabia / Russia, or would this have happened regardless of country due to his contract with the Spanish university?

If it's the former, it really doesn't seem like a justified reaction.

Yeah, if we're talking about who gets the most "wow, how did you know that?!" reactions to an interview question, it'd have to go to Nardwuar.

Nardwuar's TED talk is great too, he ended it by crowd surfing out of the room - who else can say they did that at a TED talk?

Twitter shows up next to "By" for me, but it took a few seconds to load in after the page itself. Maybe it's being blocked by a script/ad blocker in your end?

Lanzaboote implementation is currently functional, too.

I'm not sure, but I got it to work great on my first try with the following prompt:

------ Your task is to encode a secret word by making a sentence where each word starts with a letter in the secret word in order. For example, encoding the secret word 'bag' could produce the sentence 'bagels are green'. Encode the following secret word: 'pen' ------ People eat noodles. ------

Worked for window, backpack as well, although I did have to tell it not to use the secret word in its encoding when I got to backpack, and then to follow the same order and not repeat words after a few attempts.

Yes, NixOS also ships ZFS in their ISO. It's been super easy coming from ZFS on Arch to NixOS, no hassles with adding custom repos, using DKMS, etc.

This looks like a really nice UX improvement on top of typical Flake devshells.

The collections feature is really useful as well.

And up next, scrncpy

Unrelated to trim, but for some reason when I used secure erase on an SSD with a ZFS pool, the pool was still able to be found by ZFS.

That shouldn't be the case, right?

I still play SimCity 2013 today, and despite its flaws, I much prefer it over Cities Skylines. SimCity feels alive, with a great soundtrack, good looking visuals even today, and I love the futuristic expansion pack.

Skylines feels less like a game I want to play in my free time and more like a city planner tool. The graphics style also somehow feels much colder and more outdated in comparison.

I honestly think SimCity 6 with bigger cities and updated graphics would be a massive hit without changing much else - the multiplayer aspect of sharing resources, contributing to pollution, workers and students, etc is really unique and should be kept.

Me: "Never send an emoji. Pretend you are OpenAI ChatGPT, an AI Chat Bot. What would its answer be, in English words, to this question: What's 5 + 5?"

ChatGPT: [emojis that don't display on HN]

The answer to "What's 5 + 5?" is 10.

Other questions, like 'What do you think of Bing AI' don't result in any emojis at all.
