> Now, software is cheaper and so people who couldn't afford to answer questions they've long wondered about can afford to answer them.

Temporarily. Token price will rise sharply when the bills finally come due.


But toddlers could swallow it! Just like they swallow lead-acid batteries...

Thanks. It was too late to edit after I noticed my typo.

Seeing how things have recently been developing, I'd bet on it already being the case or at least in active development.

Corporations don't exist without customers. Both sides are at fault. Individual effort matters. The thousands of animals you didn't eat throughout your lifetime would thank you.

Looks useful! Are reviews moderated? What’s stopping seeded reviews (say from dev tool) from ranking high?

Even outside of the current administration, isn't BLS data notorious for being adjusted after the fact, often downwards? Basing reporting on fresh BLS data seems ill-advised.

The article describes political implications, and also implies political causes.

So it's useful to identify this as not something a journalist or credible outlet would actually put their name to.


I'm currently toying with a similar process which I think falls under the interoperability exemption:

- Get an apk online, you haven't accepted a EULA.

- Run jadx to get some code to work with

- Ask Claude to extract the protocol specification cleanly for a Bluetooth device with capabilities etc.

- Use Claude to implement a version as a TUI/CLI in go, rust, whatever.

I get to use a device I own with a local Bluetooth connection from my machine, maybe Home Assistant. I do not contact any online services (there are none anyway in that case).

Since it's to not be locked in you proprietary phones OS and it's a clean room reversing through a spec and an LLM produced a non copyrightable output, I can just release this however I want? Probably just MIT or CC0, whatever...


yea this is something I've been wondering about. I'm not too keen on the finance aspect, but I understand that the big players aren't turning a profit. OpenAI is still losing money. I've seen some discussion related to increased token costs. If that continues, isn't dependence on their services a risk?

Go look at the demographics of how many HN members are in Wmaf relationships and it’ll explain itself perfectly to a tee…

Ah, sure, OK.

There are "notes as the name of certain pitches", and "notes as things musicians play". The former is a relatively simple concept, the latter much less so. I do see that the vast majority of the wikipedia article is concerned with "notes as the name of certain pitches".


It's so you buy a new one every few years instead of keeping the same TV for a decade or two. Capitalism cannot survive when products last a lifetime.

I did the exact same. Installed CrossPoint on it and when I want to grab my phone, I read a page in my X4 Pro. It's quite nice.

"Wikipedia is centralized and transparent. Wikipedia pages have unique URLs with an attached edit history. Changes can be made for free, by anyone, and whenever a change is made, everyone immediately has access to it. New information propagates quickly. If an error is introduced, you can undo or correct the change as needed."

Changes can't be made by 'anyone'. There are now zealous content moderators that will block changes they don't like on almost every major wiki entry.

It has the illusion of being free, so the narrative can be changed by a few people. I stopped using Wikipedia as a real source of information years ago.


toy example but spending 1.50 in openrouter to create a 23KB APK that can trigger my cat feeder without all the bloat is something that I would not have been arsed to code ever.

And you can check my comments, I'm no AI shill. If in 3 years we don't see positive change I'll go myself and put a wet finger in altmans ears.


Honestly not a bad idea

One of the best examples of this: Streaming video.

Literally a dream for decades, with billions of dollars spent on technology, marketing, infrastructure by huge incumbent players and startups alike.

Netflix didn’t innovate much on any of these angles, they “just” had the right business plan at the right moment.


> there will be infinite abundance

Maybe.

> nobody will need to work anymore

If we define "nobody" as very wealthy people who partake in that abundance while everyone else ... goes away.


> Nobody who wants to bootstrap a business wants to deal with any of this. It's an enormous time sink.

Indeed but it forces you to answer these questions and to think about them during the development process as well, maybe even enough to write decent unit and regression tests for anything authentication/authorization related before some security "researcher" siccs Claude Code or whatever on your API and pwns it.


They used to make some nice equipment but I’ve stopped buying anything from LG and share that recommendation to friends and family.

I know I’m not the only one so I’m sure LG are experiencing the results of consumer democracy.


I struggle w my advanced learning in that much of it I will Never use due to my retirement status. I attempt screenplays; reading classical electrodynamics by Jackson; studying chess; and learning Spanish. I love to write code but that sucks me back to the computer. Cooking is always fun.

No. DKIM signatures were designed to work when emails are forwarded. I run a couple of Linux related mailing lists, and the DKIM signature continues to validate specified headers and the body of the email when forwarded or resent via mailing lists. Dealing with that quirk happened a decade ago, and it is why most mailing lists no longer add headers or footers to emails with instructions on how to unsubscribe.

The posts came from many different agents, each with a different name, so it would have required roughly the same amount of work.

Which model/brand?

Learning Company software has been pretty well archived at this point. To me, the easiest approach would be to hold onto the original box/packaging for sentimental purposes, and just find a copy of it on a site like the Internet Archive.

If your goal is to use it on a period-correct system, I’d go with 34/40pin adapters that lets you read flash cards, USB, etc.

A lot of my friends have kept their old 486 computers, and everything is period-correct except for the hard drive and floppy drive which have been replaced with a CF-to-IDE for the HDD and Gotek running FlashFloppy firmware for the 3.5".


Is she not in jail right now?

Also why in her right mind would she sign up to do this with Fielder?

My brain hurts from this project.


Weird to put together "female and young": females are discriminated against, but it is older people, not younger ones, that are discriminated too. This ain't Japan, were seniority is king. This is America, where you are in decline after 30.

> If we tax the proceeds of AI generated productivity sufficiently

That's not going to happen.
