Pavilion2095··on Show HN: Hacker Times, a New York Times-inspired version of Hacker News
Yeah. Look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50321605 — what the hell is this? Why do people click on random links allegedly belonging to no name projects? What are these projects about? Fascinating.
Pavilion2095··on Show HN: Hacker Times, a New York Times-inspired version of Hacker News
Yes, but it's still nice to have a good UI. HN has many things that one can find inconvenient.
Pavilion2095··on Code-execution flaw in UEFI firmware threatens most servers on planet Earth
Not only this is clickbait, they want me to solve a captcha in order to open it. What a trash website.
Pavilion2095··on Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude
20% is no joke, no need to downplay potential benefits.
Pavilion2095··on I will no longer upload to NEW
The author wrote so much, but it has so little substance. LLMs can provide valuable feedback, but they can also produce garbage. Given that the author didn't show any bad outputs and built their message around "I don't like reading it", it sounds like a personal problem that should have stayed in their head.
Pavilion2095··on Rust Style Guide
There is already a catch-all option if you don't need exhaustiveness in some part of your code.
Pavilion2095··on Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs
It depends on the context. If you're a PC user and you got a Mac at your new job, there are likely more important things to learn.
Pavilion2095··on Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
Because if I'm already using AI, I need and probably have access to something better than a primitive local model. And if I don't use AI, then I don't need it.
Pavilion2095··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
How so? Not only these restrictions exist for a reason, but you are perfectly aware of these restrictions before you purchase the said hardware.
Pavilion2095··on Human brain is two separate organs, Stanford Medicine-led research finds
Instead of starting a meaningless argument about the title, try reading the article. It explains the significance of this discovery.
Pavilion2095··on Show HN: The same nine streaming subscriptions cost $702/year more than in 2021
We aren't talking about a choice between running a mainstream setup or a niche setup though. There is much more to this choice—I'm sure you understand what I mean. I don't want to dive into this discussion, I just want to highlight that it isn't as simple as you suggested.
Pavilion2095··on The same nine streaming subscriptions cost $702/year more than in 2021
Inflation isn't accurate variable because salaries of many people are lagging behind inflation.
Pavilion2095··on The same nine streaming subscriptions cost $702/year more than in 2021
These streaming services don't even support 4k hdr on linux, leaving people with no choice.
Pavilion2095··on iPhone Duo
Spoiler alert: Silo
Pavilion2095··on Which tools do Claude, Codex and Cursor choose? We measured 17k runs to find out
In many countries Meta platforms—Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApps—are primary means of communication. If you want to find interesting events happening this weekend, you need to be on Facebook. In this regard, Google and Apple are much easier to leave because they offer personalised services, and you can always move your email and photos elsewhere. But you cannot move other people from Facebook or Instagram.
Pavilion2095··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
The age verification requirement wasn't dropped, what are you talking about? Linux getting an exemption isn't a win.
Pavilion2095··on On A.I. regulation and messaging
> coding tasks

Exactly. There are common coding tasks that these models can adequately do. They are absolute trash for anything that isn't coding. And even with coding, they are so, so far behind frontier models.

Pavilion2095··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
> Once I was as proficient at Rust as I was at Go

That's a big time investment for many people though. The one they—or rather their employers—cannot really afford.

Pavilion2095··on Codex in ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview
It's easier to use for most people. I don't think CLI and GUI programs target the same audience.
Pavilion2095··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
And by that point a program written in go has been deployed and making money for months. These are two wildly different languages, people should stop comparing them as if they're targetting the same niche. Checks and protections that rust has aren't necessary in most cases, but increase development and maintenance time.
Pavilion2095··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
I assure you, this is one of the mildest things they do after training before the model reaches you.
Pavilion2095··on 2027 memory capacity is reportedly sold out
Can you blame them? Users didn't care. Heck, developers didn't care - look at how popular vscode is.
Pavilion2095··on Zed DeltaDB
Because it's not broken, the issues you're describing are far from universal. Also, fixing them won't bring any money.
Pavilion2095··on Back to Kagi
$10 is nothing when it's $10, but everything is a $10 subscription these days - and you end up spending a lot of money.
Pavilion2095··on Your 'app' could have been a webpage (so I fixed it for you)
Back then developers didn't have tools to create websites that look good on both desktop and mobile devices. So websites back then were hardly usable. Apps solved this issue.
Pavilion2095··on Why write code in 2026
> The relevant question is who is going to pay you to write code manually.

Hopefully companies in the industries where software quality matters and is regulated, e.g.: medicine, aviation, nuclear, etc.

Although this market is relatively small.

Pavilion2095··on OpenMandriva: Statement regarding attempted distribution sabotage
AUR has always been a risk and that wasn't the first attack of that kind. And here... Well, if it was coordinated, they would've picked a distro that doesn't prompt responses like: "Oh, mandriva still exists?"

Nah. Microsoft has better means to sell Windows.

Pavilion2095··on Raspberry Pi 5 – 16GB RAM
These are two very different devices that serve two very different purposes. The comparison is flawed.
Pavilion2095··on Learn SQL Once, Use It for 30 Years
The issue is that most of these tools try to reinvent the wheel. Instead of using sql, you use 'fluent builders' or whatever, and they have their own tricks and cevats.

Sqlc is the best thing I've personally used because it produces models and repositories based on plain sql queries.

Pavilion2095··on What if remote working, not AI, is to blame for weak junior hiring?
A text generator can't be responsible for decisions that people make. You're giving them too much agency. Idk how they did it, but so many people seem to hate AI instead of people who are pushing it.
