cwnyth··on Show HN: We had AI write a wiki from 45k Enron emails, every fact cited
You're not wrong. These load-bearing air molecules are not too energized; they are quite tranquil―and the wavelengths emitted off plants' photosynthesis organs are equally pleasing.
cwnyth··on Shitter – A Nitter Fork
Dude created his account 30 minutes ago. He's just a cowardly troll, probably paid by Twitter.
cwnyth··on Shitter – A Nitter Fork
You forget that Twitter is just a joke.
cwnyth··on Meta ordered to pay $25B penalty in New Mexico Cambridge Analytica case
No one reads the article anymore. They're just vibe commenting.
cwnyth··on The compiler was supposed to end programming too
I'm not sure you're even reading the comments to which you're replying.
cwnyth··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
If someone thinks they can profit off of or otherwise control the Torment Nexus, they will build it as fast as they can.

AKA, Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia.

Additionally, engineering is distinct still.
cwnyth··on Show HN: Wonderhop – A daily game: guess what most people say, or what none do
Plenty of good answers were rejected, especially where typos were concerned. On the coffee shop question, CK's coffee shop wasn't found and Waffle House was rejected, but Paul's was a top answer? Paul's also serves breakfast food. Seems arbitrary. Memphis Colosseum was rejected probably because the proper spelling is Coliseum. But how could it not find it from "Memphis Colosseum"? It's easily found (and the spelling corrected) in Google Search.
cwnyth··on Hittite royal archive found in Turkey
Jaynes' goes far beyond the Bronze Age, though. It's unfortunately a bit of claptrap. Read "A Man and His Ba" to see just how clearly Bronze Age man knew they had individual will.
cwnyth··on Hittite royal archive found in Turkey
I agree, but that's why I said "Despite the terms used." I'm suggesting, moderately, that the user might be thinking of that split and how others have used alternative terms to better describe the situation.

Certainly, that Hittite broke off first is the consensus, and thus it makes sense (but isn't the consensus) that we should say something like "Indo-Hittite". BUT, one is a matter of describing history, and the other is an arbitrary label attached to that description.

Your "well akshually" was a nice way of softening the original poster's brief comment. I just don't think any of us truly disagree (barring that user's subsequent thoughts, of course).

cwnyth··on I Found a $90k Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Google
Some people actually like to read what humans write.
cwnyth··on Hittite royal archive found in Turkey
It's not consensus (yet?), but Kloekhorst's categorization does put the Anatolian split first and early, making it essentially two separate branches of PIE. He isn't concerned about the terminology, but it does allow for alternatives, and "Proto-Indo-Hittite" is now a century-old term.

Despite the terms used, Anatolian and non-Anatolian languages are seen as two separate branches.

Maybe I'm being too charitable, but I hadn't read that user's comment as a "well, acktually", especially given the chain of comments, but perhaps I'm wrong.

cwnyth··on CIA World Facebook Is Dead – Here Is an Attempt at Recreation
The title of this submission says "Facebook", not "Factbook". That's what they were referring to.
cwnyth··on Vibe coded browser ports of Halo, The Simpsons: Hit And Run, GTA work well
Yes, that is different. The Simpsons one doesn't ask you to bring a ROM, though.
cwnyth··on Vibe coded browser ports of Halo, The Simpsons: Hit And Run, GTA work well
Right or wrong, it is literally IP infringement.
cwnyth··on US imposes sanctions on ICC hours after former judge wins Nobel Peace Prize
I personally know people who drive a Tesla and hate Elon. It's strange that you think no one acts contrary to their beliefs?
cwnyth··on Archaeologists Are Reconstructing the 'Invisible' Technologies of the Stone Age
That would be the Assyrians, not the Persians, whose archive the Medes "fired".
cwnyth··on DraftKings is using AI to behaviorally target chronic gamblers
In many places where gambling is banned, there is still gambling. And in places where it's legalized, it can (in theory) be effectively regulated (if there's political will, which is difficult to muster sometimes). And say what you will about lotteries, but it's far easier to blow your life savings at casinos and with sports betting than buying a bunch of lottery tickets.
cwnyth··on MicroLLM Lab – Try 7 tiny LLM's in the browser
I got the same error with an Intel Iris. I'm using Firefox on Fedora Gnome. "Prefer WebGPU" also didn't fix it.
cwnyth··on Windows 11½
A mature Windows 7 wasn't terrible. You could easily configure it so that it stayed out of your way, and only the updates were a headache. Windows 8 and those beyond were all downright atrocious. While I had dabbled in Linux for years before then, announcing Win7 EOL finally pushed me 100% into the Linux camp.
cwnyth··on Windows 11½
Welcome to Fedora! I've missed literally nothing about Windows since switching to it about a decade ago now (around the time they announced Win7 EOL), and every time I had to use it for work (thankfully never these days), I grew more and more confident that I never will need to return and that Windows is only getting worse.
cwnyth··on When did Google get so weird?
Google's search has been frustratingly awful for quite some time now, long before AI.
cwnyth··on PostmarketOS is rebranding as Nura
I absolutely do, too. Even dropping the "OS" will still net a cool name.
cwnyth··on Attention is all you have
FWIW, it's about a 6-7 hour series of tests. Worth it, imo, but yeah, it's pricey.
cwnyth··on Attention is all you have
Same. My very first email with them was deleted, because I was using it via POP3 instead of logging into the site. I should probably just self-host an email for junk, then I can remove the very last Microsoft thing in my life.
cwnyth··on Attention is all you have
I lost out on subsidized housing because of Hotmail, but even to this day I still regularly get obvious spam.

Hotmail was great 20+ years ago. Now, it's junk and I only send junk its way.

cwnyth··on Attention is all you have
I use Chrome at work and Firefox at home, and I still bookmark on both. It never occurred to me to not.
cwnyth··on Attention is all you have
There are aptitude tests for those two traits: Analytical Reasoning and Ideaphoria at Johnson O'Connor. You, like me, probably will score high on both.
cwnyth··on Ogre Battle 64 Recompiled Project at 99.05%
Same as the other poster, I can't play it, as I have no Playstation newer than a PS2. Maybe one day it'll get ported or someone else will create something for the PC.
