antifa··on NexDock turns your smartphone into a laptop
You can get an external monitor and seperate keyboard for about $100. The issue for me at least, is that I don't want to to put android apps on a monitor, I want a real Linux desktop experience when I plug my phone into a monitor.

A device with the NUC's power and size that could have it's own battery (if external, not too huge) would be awesome.

IME 99.9% of android apps have no hotkeys or mouse support, firefox shockingly has no hotkeys, and chrome is missing enough things (like mouse middle click, which currently works consistently windows+mac+linux) that the experience is completely broken. How bad the android desktop experience is really holds back these awesome devices.
antifa··on Ask HN: Has anyone successfully pivoted from web dev to AI/ML development?
I think it's the opposite, there is a growing bubble of interest in hiring for AI stuff. In 5 years time your RAG pipeline model training career is going to pop and become my new `brew install ai-thing`. If I need image recognition/generation or LLMs, I'll call openai APIs the way one might call stripe or Spotify APIs. Don't trust them? Claude. Don't trust anyone? Self-hosted with RAG will be good enough without model training and easy to use by then.
antifa··on Show HN: I created an After Effects alternative
The cool thing about the word alternative is that it does not mean "drop in replacement".
antifa··on Ask HN: what are examples of successful "open-source alternatives"?
Do you live in a world where success means "#1" and failure means "not #1"?

Seems unusable with unintuitive undiscoverable controls, standard touch screen controls like pinch-zoom and pan don't work on Firefox for Android. The about page says something about rotating your device, but that's a pretty bold assumption that the user wants to do that, or isn't currently on a subway/bus or otherwise in a fixed position like a stand, large tablet, or the user could have various disabilities.

This theory gets parroted endlessly, but nearly never actually happens in reality.
antifa··on Microsoft breached antitrust rules by bundling Teams and Office, EU says
It's extremely easy to argue that Slack is much better than MSTeams, but now the market does not exist for anyone who wanted to make something better than Slack.
antifa··on Microsoft breached antitrust rules by bundling Teams and Office, EU says
MSTeams only uses chromium as a base, it's degrees of poorly written extends far past the scope of chromium and even beyond the stars.

> At the end of the day it should only matter if Microsoft's practices are hurting consumers rather than their competitors.

MSTeams hurts users 24/7 around the clock.

A is the only thing we'll be able to do in the next 500 years, if that helps.
antifa··on AdonisJS
Almost all high level backends (node, php, python, ruby, etc.) work best behind a load balancer.
antifa··on AdonisJS
What I look for in an expressjs alternative is 1.) First class typescript support 2.) Better tree shaking.

antifa··on Ask HN: Is misinformation a solvable problem?
I imagine this puts a price on misinformation that bad actors are happy to pay, but prices out the average person.

I'm annoyed that Firefox for android doesn't have hot keys at all and chrome for android is also missing enough hotkeys/mouse behaviors that I'll usually notice very quickly.

Being one of the last restaurants to close for the night isn't a FOMO sales strategy.

I can imagine someone who doesn't have their own phone being clumsy (or careless) and accidently dropping it and breaking the screen.
antifa··on A ChatGPT mistake cost us $10k
I tried subway online ordering once almost a year ago. The last final screen crashed and deleted the entire order from my cart. Anyways, you're probably wondering if the order actually went through but subway's UI was shit and nearly tricked me into replacing the same order a second time: yes.

I am curious how well proton works under ARM, both for apple silicon and whatever alternatives.

antifa··on Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite prototype that runs Linux emerges
> That's an exaggeration

That's mostly only an exaggeration for games made in the last 5 years with the heavier concentrations of DRM, online-only, micro transactions.

antifa··on A new term, ‘slop’, has emerged to describe dubious A.I.-generated material
Slop is not a new term, it refers to content people like (perjoratively, similar to how fast food is something people like) but for whatever reason (low brow? bad for you? clickbait? lowest common denominator?) should not be classified as good quality content. This slang is older than AI, possibly by decades.

Feels like a conspiracy to force power users to experience software the way noob users experience computers in general.

Maybe the plot twist should be that the AI makes a big deal out of the selection process, then instead just kills those 250,000 people.

> But the Impossible Burger did more than talking ever did

TBH, nah, I don't believe the impossible burger has really done anything truly notable, as far as vegan causes go.

Now, if you were to end beef subsidies leading to something like 25% of beef farms changing over to a more vegan friendly or environmentally friendly alternative uses, or developed protein alternatives that reduced food costs for the average person, then yeah.

Impossible Burger isn't a bad product, but as far as the big picture goes, it's a slightly tastier virtue signal than black bean burgers.

antifa··on Save Team Fortress 2 (#savetf2)
But that behavior badmouth the game publicly and seek financial repercussions, as written, are indistinguishable from what I'd expect someone who was wrongly banned by an automated anti-cheat system with all appeals met by robo-denial.
