He's 86, what ship?

It's not about the technology itself, it's about everything that surrounds it, the software, the commercial side. I will go out of my way to avoid HP.

I am curious is anyone using DuckDB in prod?

Was there ever evidence that they would take away apk installing?

Boy do I regret signing up to a yearly plan of Google Workspace, I sure as fuck won't be renewing that next year.

Hes been stacking the Supreme Court for years, how do you think that will go?

> Now they have lower standards for applicants from poor families or bad schools. As a result Oxford and Cambridge have sunk to fourth place in the latest Times Good Universities Guide.

He did say exactly that.

Either the Qataris knew about it and threw one of their citizens under the bus or they didn't know about it and they won't do anything to avenge one of their citizens. Either way their reputation amongst the Arab word as the U.S.' useful idiot stands.

Imagine having all the money in the world only to let people walk all over you, phew.

As someone from the UK, this really threw me for a second!

> red states

Well you'd be surprised to find out that this stupid policy (and many more) have been brought forward by Labour (Left).

Exactly! And I'll even stop paying for their other products as well.

It's so funny to me that they think that forcing power users to cave in is going to bring in more money. Heck I will stop paying for Google Workspace and move my shit to Apple rather than pay for YouTube premium or watch YouTube ads.

> the Xcode cloud build and distribution ecosystem is an absolute steal at $9 a month. Private Testflight (with no review) can be more convenient than that desktop cable.

I genuinely can't tell whether this is sarcasm or not. Are you seriously comparing a 9$ per month plan Vs simply plugging your phone or syncing an app file wirelessly?

> The government's lawyers argued that ministers had considered whether Wikipedia should be exempt from the regulations but had reasonably rejected the idea.

It's funny, I'm coming up on my citizenship application and I sure as fuck won't ever be voting for Labour. I would rather create my own party and fail then vote for them (or conservatives or Reform). It's amazing how accurate The Thick Of It is.

Queue the cynical takes on reputation laundering/taking the blame and personal relationships.

While possible, surely we can all agree then when a large business is trying to pivot/explore a new field, it does not necessarily have in-house talent to make that work, nor does it actually have technical/business/operational knowledge on how to make that work. Even for something as simple (to us) as making a new app for example, do you really think they can just hire a bunch of freelancers or even a specialized app dev shop and that would work? You need people who have done this before to manage that work, and McKinsey is a safe option to pick.

It's almost a trope at this point saying the knowledge they offer is useless but you clearly overestimate the knowledge big orgs have/have actionable access to.

I am sorry, Cloudafre is the internet police now?

Last I checked it was the parents' primary job to protect a child's emotional development. And yes some kids might not be fortunate enough to have caring parents but I'm pretty sure that alone would fuck them up more than social media. But hey let us continue to make the world a safe space lest Western parents actually parent their children.

I closed the tab as soon as the first image loaded. Why is this garbage posted on HN?

Tangent: Is there a Firefox extension that blocks articles with slams, claps back, rips ?

I saw the musical in London and it was so good! Highly recommend it!

> it makes sense to me that..

This is exactly how the investigations are NOT conducted. You don't find the evidence that confirms your theory and call it a day when the pieces sorta fit together. You look solely at the evidence and listen to what they tell you leaving aside what you think could have happened.

The coordinates IDS are 16-bit long. The first 4 bits index (verb) which bit is set.

Is it really that difficult to pretend to be a right-wing extremist?

I genuinely feel for them. This is nothing but a stunt, once they have to renew their visas and experience the systemic anti-immigration bureaucratic machine they will regret moving there.

Diffing two scans is now AI?

> Encouraged structured thinking by forcing the AI to justify its findings first, significantly reducing arbitrary conclusions.

Ah yes, because we know very well that the current generation of AI models reasons and draws conclusions based on logic and understanding... This is the true face palm.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that very few are pointing this out. People seem to rally against Iran because of some hypothetical scenario where it could become...exactly like Israel.

The same AR they built a product for and flopped? Oh please..

Defending this while listing "health" as an interest is peak irony. I've always wondered what drives seemingly smart people to side with such shitty (sub)human beings.
