No one will want to open your headline.
acd10j··on Nvidia to acquire Hugging Face
Why would they sue OpenAI, openai is their one of biggest customer.
acd10j··on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage
It’s a cartel just like the OPEC oil cartel.
acd10j··on SpaceX's giant Starship Mars rocket nails critical 10th test flight
I don’t think they are letting go of these rockets; they are definitely being retrieved back. Otherwise, rival countries like China will end up retrieving them.
acd10j··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
737 Max also had stellar records and then they started crashing one after other. Boeing has earned this reputation. Also as per information from twitter pilot did called mayday immediately after takeoff, so high chance of technical issues in aircraft.
acd10j··on Cursor 1.0
There is a loyalty if they keep winning, if they stop running their competitors will beat them. I don't switch between cursor or windsurf daily, i keep cursor only even if windsurf has some marginal improvement in workflow as i know cursor will have them in short time. No need to switch, But if they stop improving they will get eaten away. They have already taken lot of developer market share away from vscode and vscode copilot.
acd10j··on Apple Notes Will Gain Markdown Export at WWDC, and, I Have Thoughts
Biggest advantage of markdown is that it is directly understandable using llm, as it is native text format, all others cannot be copy pasted and fed to llm and you have to write some translation between them.
acd10j··on Databricks acquires Neon
Databricks is Oracle-level bad. They will definitely ruin Neon or make it expensive. In the medium to long term, I will start looking for Neon alternatives.
acd10j··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Number one rule of combat is that you need a very good homegrown industrial base. In order to be great country it needs to be combat-ready. If you apply that lens, what Trump is doing will start making sense. He is trying to revert globalisation and free trade in order to make the USA manufacturing superpower again. Not sure whether this will be successful or not, as China already has an order of magnitude advantage in manufacturing.
acd10j··on Microsoft is killing Skype
What are you talking about? Microsoft Teams took over everything else during and after the pandemic. The reason for Skype being left behind was that everyone started using Teams in enterprises.
acd10j··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
Even if the OP had purchased Tesla from an official dealership, but he will still have to wait three months for the part. Nothing in the blog will change if he has bought in an official country. Additionally, Tesla does not have official dealership models; they operate through direct sales.
acd10j··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
Wow, this is a truly terrible experience and a disgraceful display of customer service. Not picking up phones and not responding to customers is unacceptable and will undoubtedly deter many potential buyers from ever purchasing a Tesla.
acd10j··on Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2B of U.S. Income in 2024
This is a poorly written article. They can't even get basic figures right. See Unspecified “U.S. tax credits” were good for $300 billion of tax savings. It should have been $300 million. Seems to be a psyops by an incompetent writer against Elon.
acd10j··on The Origins of Wokeness
I have observed Hacker News commenters to be more predominantly left-leaning and "WOKE" compared to the general population. Not sure what the reason may be, but it is possible that they are taught about woke culture in their companies or universities. Generally, compared to the founder and startup culture that we all aspire for, wokeness is more prevalent in the majority of the YC audience.
acd10j··on My second year without a job
Not sure, If he has option OP can ask his parents to help or live with them. Having zero balance in account is not a very good situation to be in.
acd10j··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
You are right they are already trying to slow SpaceX as much as possible. More people in their hands more people finding ways to decelerate SpaceX
acd10j··on $2 H100s: How the GPU Rental Bubble Burst
May be their business model is running compute at loss and stealing ip/code from people using platform?
acd10j··on Tesla Robotaxi
Ok, lets think of it other way, all things equal, if you are tasked with cutting costs of vehicle without cutting back things which makes your brand unique, and without reducing margin or running on loss how will you do it? You make vehicle simpler, with less expensive parts. That's how hardware design works. Cutting back on quality or software expense is not a option for Tesla as that will make Tesla equal to any other Chinese EV brand.
acd10j··on Tesla Robotaxi
If you go down to basic physical material costs, Surface area of car, Metal cost, Glass cost etc, are the things which will determine car price in long run, So car which is weighting let's say 25% percent less can be be built cheaper compared to car weighting more. Less doors, less glass use, less paint, less material, less battery needed for same amount of distance, which brings down to cost.
acd10j··on Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
don’t add too many features, one of the usp of this is simplicity and suspense.
acd10j··on 300k airplanes in five years
If you want to have strategic deterrence capability, all scenarios are kept in mind, even if they are little low probability, in warfare sometimes enemy tries to find low probability scenarios and exploits that. (Remember german blitzkrieg in ww2)
acd10j··on Ryzen 8000G review: An integrated GPU that can beat a graphics card, for a price
Can this integrated graphic units (APUs) work similarly to Apple M series for Generative AI inference, in combining GPU and System memory and give competitive advantage to AMD?
acd10j··on Ollama releases Python and JavaScript Libraries
In my experience award for easiest to run locally will go to llamafile models https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile.
acd10j··on Autonomous trucking is harder than autonomous rideshare
I think rail like truck fleet where a single driver controls a fleet of 10 something autonomous trucks for local time low latency backup control and Starlink for remote backup control could be something that could be useful.
acd10j··on Ask HN: How many of you still have a Facebook account?
I think better answer would be it is no longer cool to have Facebook account specifically for people on HN. So even if we have account we would not come and accept.
acd10j··on Japan Airlines lays on extra plane after sumo wrestlers make too heavy to fly
If airlines increase seat width to accommodate overweight, no of seating in aircraft will go down, which will lead to increase in per seat pricing, in effect healthy people will be subsidising overweight.
acd10j··on Dig near Paris unearths beginnings of urbanization dating back to 4,200 BC
If you read full article it is mentioned they got full 8 years, not 2 days.
acd10j··on Why I eat old cheese (2020)
Food poisoning is real, Rotten Cheese and Panner could cause severe food poisoning, Until unless you and me are experts in determining whether aged cheese is still edible, a single ER visit due to food poisoning can eat up all money saved in eating aged cheese.
acd10j··on Google’s Plan to DRM the Web Goes Against Everything Google Once Stood For
Just like how Firefox earns money, sell default search engine rights to highest bidder (google, bing) etc , Chrome itself can become billions of dollar business.
acd10j··on For many widows, the hardest part is mealtime (2019)
Divorced and Widowed is not the same thing. In later specially in happy marriage grief component is very profound. In case of divorce grief might not be present.
