The very first sentence of the article: "Will Apple turn to Intel for production of its M-series chips in 2027? " So it is not returning to Intel architecture.

725686··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
So you sold insomnia, sold it, and then created another competing tool? There where no restrictions in the deal?

725686··on Does our “need for speed” make our wi-fi suck?
I don't know why I was downvoted. I was just expressing awe at how many wi-fi devices an average US household has. I was not implying the information was wrong.
725686··on How I bypassed Amazon's Kindle web DRM
How do you actually use the code? There is no readme.
725686··on Does our “need for speed” make our wi-fi suck?

725686··on Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available
In my twenties I worked for a "company" in Mexico that was the official QNX ditribuitor for Mexico and LatAm. I guess the only reason was that Mexico City's Metro used QNX, and every year they bought a new license, I don't know why. We also did a couple of sales in Colombia I think, but was a complete shit show. We really just sent them the software by mail, and they had all sorts of issues getting it out of customs. I did get to go to a QNX training in Canada, which was really cool. Never got to use it though.
725686··on If you are harassed by lasers
Wrong. Noise affects everyone around. The laser only affects the source of noise.

Yes, the base image's hands are creepy.

I don't know. Is it? I haven't touched one in 20 years.
725686··on Clojure Async Flow Guide
I absolutely loved Hickey's talks even when I never used Clojure more than for a few simple examples.
725686··on Clojure Async Flow Guide
Is Clojure still a thing? I sure would hope so, but I haven't seen much of Clojure activity in HN recently.
725686··on We caught companies making it harder to delete your personal data online
Deleting your personal data is just an illusion. Companies just mark your data as "deleted", but keep the data anyway, in the best of cases just for auditing purposes. You will never, ever, be able to delete your data. Stop dreaming.

Good for you. Not everyone is as good or strong as you.

725686··on It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA
"The View Transitions API is beautiful and I can't wait for it to become widely available."

a few comments below

"The view transitions API is a disaster."

I love HN.

725686··on Signs of autism could be encoded in the way you walk
For some reason, I dislike seeing people that walk "funny". I am particularly disgusted by people that walk with their feet facing outward a little too much.
725686··on Ukrainian hackers destroyed the IT infrastructure of Russian drone manufacturer

Isn't it because of the curvature of spacetime? Not that that means much to a layman, but I think that progress has definitely been made.
725686··on Hidden interface controls that affect usability
I absolutely despise switches. I'm also constantly asking myself if the label represents the current state or the state it would switch to.
725686··on Exploiting the IKKO Activebuds “AI powered” earbuds (2024)

725686··on What happens when people don't understand how AI works
"how to conquer Persia" and "what is the name of the small fibers which form a bird’s feather" are very different kinds of questions. There is no one right answer for the first. That is divination. The second is just information retrieval.
