ClassyJacket··on AI slop is already invading Oregon's local journalism
There is no use case for NFTs at all. The "verifiable ownership" is pointless when you could just use a traditional database, as every individual game has to respect the blockchain - they could just respect the database instead, and not use the power consumption of Belgium to do it.
ClassyJacket··on AI slop is already invading Oregon's local journalism
>How does AI attend meetings, ask questions of local officials or bodies, provide in-person reports and original fact based copy?

I suppose when we give it a robot body?

ClassyJacket··on Codenames App, or my biggest project so far
Why's that? I used to mainly game on the 360 and I've never particularly found them a hindrance to my enjoyment, or thought game designs were being altered negatively for their sake - despite not being really much into getting them myself.

Do you have some examples of games that have been made worse by the inclusion of achievements?

Now, in game purchases, on the other hand...

ClassyJacket··on Chuck E. Cheese's animatronics band bows out
Jenny Nicholson is one of the best YouTubers, incredibly thorough research, and one of the funniest people on the platform. I just wish she posted more.
ClassyJacket··on The Birmingham Blade: geographically tailored urban wind turbine designed by AI
From what I hear the showstopper for home wind turbines is the noise. Even the quietest ones produce some sound, which at your house when you're trying to sleep is annoying.

I'd imagine things with moving parts need alot of maintenance too.

ClassyJacket··on Raspberry Pi 5 now supports Valve's Steam Link
Xbox Game Pass is awesome, assuming you're happy with that and not PC games specifically. It's pretty seamless and performs well and they support heaps of devices. Plus it has Halo which automatically makes it the best one.
ClassyJacket··on Australian Parliament bans social media for under-16s
The point of this isn't to keep kids off social media. It's an excuse to require ID for adults so they can arrest us for criticizing them.

They also recently tried to pass a "Misinformation" bill which would have given them the power to decree what we can and can't say on social media, and they'll try to sneak that back in, too.

This country is a nanny state and it's getting scary.

ClassyJacket··on RomCom exploits Firefox and Windows zero days in the wild
I exaggerate alot but even by my standards this is ridiculous hyperbole. Rust just isn't supported on alot of platforms and libraries.
ClassyJacket··on Show HN: App that asks ‘why?’ every time you unlock your phone
Someone already did. I'm trying to remember the name of it.
ClassyJacket··on ISPs say their "excellent customer service" is why users don't switch providers
I don't switch providers because thanks to the Liberal Party of Australia choosing copper phone lines instead of fibre for the NBN, no matter which provider I choose I'm stuck with 25mbps that doesn't work at all when it's raining.

Details don't matter much when no matter what that's the best you can ever get, enforced by law.

ClassyJacket··on GPD Pocket 4, 8.8-inch Modular Full-featured Handheld AI PC
That screams cheap and nasty to me. They should definitely remove it.
ClassyJacket··on ICC issues warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas officials
So, just to be clear, you think any country that's invaded should just immediately surrender?

So if I invade the US tomorrow with a sharpened stick, they have to hand their country over because any kind of defence is immoral?

ClassyJacket··on Niantic plans a “Large Geospatial Model” trained on Pokémon Go player data
Inverness is a city in Scotland
ClassyJacket··on Toshiba stuffs an entire PC into a dot matrix printer – Toshiba Jimucon SJ-9500
I thought I was about to read about a cool old computer from the late 80s, not something from 2024
ClassyJacket··on Pimco Landlord's NYC Building Sells for Less Than Value of Its Debt
Wonderful. Anything that hurts landlords is good <3

I simply don't believe you.
ClassyJacket··on Is Chrome the New IE? (2023)
Yes it should be, but it isn't, that's the problem
ClassyJacket··on Why did Windows 95 setup use three operating systems?
There's various youtubers who have tried upgrading MS OSes thru as many versions as possible and they have taken it pretty far
ClassyJacket··on Show HN: I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties
Yep. The fact that in most places in the US it's illegal to build apartments above shops is insane. That's the norm in the UK.
ClassyJacket··on Is the UK's liver transplant matching algorithm biased against younger patients?
I know we're on Hacker News, but still, that's how I interpreted it
ClassyJacket··on Something weird is happening with LLMs and chess
LLMs can't count the Rs in strawberry because of tokenization. Words are converted to vectors (numbers), so the actual transformer network never sees the letters that make up the word.

ChatGPT doesn't see "strawberry", it sees [302, 1618, 19772]

ClassyJacket··on Control iPhone with the movement of your eyes
I can't wait for this to be implemented on other devices and used to make sure you actually look at the screen during ads! Google is going to love it.
ClassyJacket··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
I think you're agreeing with them?
ClassyJacket··on New elliptic curve breaks 18-year-old record
I mean, look at all the insane places leftists have shoehorned gender crap into lately. I wouldn't put it past them.
ClassyJacket··on Francois Chollet is leaving Google
Keras is not a language
ClassyJacket··on Australia's 3G Shutdown – Why your 4G/5G Phone is now Blocked
I don't understand why voice calls aren't just a standard and required part of the 4g and 5g specifications?? Did they really design and implement 4g and 5g assuming 3g would never be shut down, ever?
ClassyJacket··on Rust Trademark Policy Updates
Rust? No, this is IronOxide™
ClassyJacket··on FDA proposes ending use of oral phenylephrine as OTC nasal decongestant
You're almost certainly experiencing the placebo effect. There's mountains of evidence phenylephrine does exactly nothing.
ClassyJacket··on FDA proposes ending use of oral phenylephrine as OTC nasal decongestant
Finally. I hope this reaches Australia and the rest of the world. Phenylephrine doesn't work, it never worked, it's obvious that it doesn't work, it's a literal scam, and the companies selling it are fraudulent.
ClassyJacket··on Nvidia Rides AI Wave to Pass Apple as Largest Company
Especially if you're the only one that makes GPUs for AI use
