dexterdog··on MLB approves robot umpires for 2026 as part of challenge system
I want to bet on the ump that umps that ump.
dexterdog··on Always Invite Anna
It's probably just ego on the one side. That person likes to be invited to feel like they are the more valuable person in the relationship. If I were the other person I would make sure that invitation is never extended.
dexterdog··on Google's AI Agent Payments Protocol (AP2)
Worse, what about when you have a mandate that can be filled multiple times when you only need it once?
dexterdog··on Ants that seem to defy biology – They lay eggs that hatch into another species
Thank you so much for introducing me to this concept. I knew the word thanks to Shriekback. I used to have ducks. At one point when I only had 3 females, I found a broken egg with a fetus in it. I knew they were all female, but couldn't convince anybody of what I saw.
dexterdog··on TikTok has turned culture into a feedback loop of impulse and machine learning
If you are doing anything with youtube on a TV you should be using smarttube which allows shorts if you want. You can also just turn them off if you despise vertical video like I do.
dexterdog··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
> Maybe I have a coupon? Is the price really the part of this that sticks in your craw?

It was the price and also the reference to WMDs. You can't get WMDs at all so the price part is irrelevant.

> I'm fine with not infringing on the well regulated militias rights. Exactly as it was written.

That's also a cherry-picking way to interpret that line. You're intentionally leaving out the part that is inconvenient to your opinion.

It was and I thought that was pretty obvious
dexterdog··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
> What part of "well regulated militia" is unclear?

What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is unclear? If you're going to base your argument on the first few words you can't win against the opposition does the same with the last part.

> Maybe all of it if you have a political slant, but no literate person who didn't set out with an agenda actually takes the second amendment to mean "any lunatic with $100 and an axe to grind should be allowed to own weapons of mass destruction without even proving they're sober and sane."

What WMDs can be had for only $100 that would actually fall under firearm regulation?

dexterdog··on Google AI Overview made up an elaborate story about me
Paying the company that sells the service of checking for you.
dexterdog··on Texas Instruments’ new plants where Apple will make iPhone chips
Definitely non-zero. If you were Mexican or Canadian you would not take the bet on even 20 years right now so who would bet on 100?
dexterdog··on How does the US use water?
The water that cools the datacenter is one minor ingredient in the process. For the cotton plant it is one of the few, critical ingredients.
dexterdog··on My boss fired me over WhatsApp while he was on vacation in Honolulu
Agreed. I can't help but think about what the actual story is here. The author clearly doesn't know all of the details and is making a lot of assumptions of malice.
dexterdog··on Making Your Own Merchant Service Provider
> The cost of those consumer safeties and convenience is incurred by the merchant. This is the cost of business.

That cost is a minimum of 100% passed on to the consumer.

dexterdog··on Streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy
In all of that time there are two best directors and two best supporting actress wins of the major Oscar categories. That is not much considering how much money they have dumped into movies. Netflix has always been quantity over quality.
dexterdog··on Telo MT1
The pricepoints are still vaporware.
dexterdog··on Telo MT1
The Y does not have FSD either.
dexterdog··on Launch HN: Hyprnote (YC S25) – An open-source AI meeting notetaker
> finally, speaker identification is a big challenge for us too.

But your home page makes it looks like you already have it. I just tried it in a 30-minute meeting with 20 people and it put the entire conversation under a single speaker, in a single paragraph.

dexterdog··on The future of ultra-fast passenger travel
Very rich people and C-level execs. Ok, maybe not 'need' but they want to.
dexterdog··on My bank keeps on undermining anti-phishing education
It's also a great filter for the scammers. The people who are non-gullible or medium-gullible will follow. The truly gullible will say "What is the web address?" To which they respond "citibank-support.blogspot.com"
dexterdog··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
That's what sponsorblock is for
dexterdog··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
If you're going to switch you should switch to a better option. I've been using librewolf for years since Firefox doesn't have the best track record either.
dexterdog··on In a First, Solar Was Europe's Biggest Source of Power Last Month
The title should say electrical grid power. I'm willing to bet diesel was still the number one generator of all power.
dexterdog··on The EU wants to decrypt your private data by 2030
So is Meta committing fraud when claiming in it's policies that it has no access to user e2e data?
dexterdog··on MCP: An (Accidentally) Universal Plugin System
And then a few steps later it's just bots talking to bots. Then what did we read when we're on the loo?
dexterdog··on Tesla Robotaxi launch is a dangerous game of smoke and mirrors
It should have lost a lot of lustre, but it hasn't. I see no justification for the stock being even $30 right now, but it is 10x that number.
dexterdog··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
Those insane valuations were not 1% of this.
dexterdog··on Dilbert creator Scott Adams says he will die soon from same cancer as Joe Biden
> The richest man I know sold his business in an all-cash transaction for $114 million in 2011 when he was in his late 50s. He divided the after-tax sum in half and used one half to write checks based on weeks of service to all of his employees and kept the other half.

That sounds like a lot of unnecessary double tax being paid.

dexterdog··on Yggdrasil is an experimental compact routing scheme that is fully decentralised
Or throttle new node cration
dexterdog··on Tailscale has raised $160M
Um, it's 3x the cost to get one feature. By your logic they should be charging $100/user/mo for the feature since that must also be the same. This is typical "enterprise" nonsense pricing and it will absolutely drive some adopters to look elsewhere.
dexterdog··on Show HN: Physical Pomodoro Timer with ESP32 and e-paper screen
The technique isn't what caused his company to fail. A big part of it was likely his obsession with the technique. He also probably wasted massive amounts of time setting up his other tools instead of using them.
