globalnode··on Social Cooling (2017)
I dont know? does non participation now flag you as a problem person? (playing devils advocate: i dont participate in any social media besides HN)
globalnode··on Where it's at://
how can it be hacked? can i impersonate someone else? whats to stop me from making posts with someone elses handle. how secure is the data? or does it just ride over tls and use that for protection.

globalnode··on How to motivate yourself to do a thing you don't want to do
just do it is the only way forward. perhaps helped by breaking things up into smaller chunks (pomodoro's perhaps). action precedes and creates motivation.
globalnode··on World Nuclear Association Welcomes Microsoft Corporation as Newest Member
Why was tupac's comment flagged, it was genuinely funny and also something worthy of discussion. What if big tech are the next nuclear superpowers? Thats a talking point. Censorship on HN seems a little out of control. Then I remind myself its just a forum for a VC company in N America and it all seems to make sense.

That dystopian future was supposed to be way way way in the future... not here right now :/
globalnode··on Ex-WhatsApp cybersecurity head says Meta endangered billions of users
They managed to tap in to a seemingly unlimited ocean of uninformed useful idiots, paid shills, bots and psychopaths. Its how you get rich in social media.
globalnode··on Europe enters the exascale supercomputing league with Jupiter
crack passwords?
globalnode··on Google AI Overview made up an elaborate story about me
Could this feasibly be a case of generative AI used by bad actors to make it look like the model simply hallucinated once discovered. Ofc by then the damage is done. Like a form of trolling.
globalnode··on John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta
I love this part: "To make something really different, and not get drawn into the gravity well of existing solutions, you practically need an isolated monastic order of computer engineers"
globalnode··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
wont it just open the door for alternatives? linux on pc and ??? on mobile?
globalnode··on Looking back at my transition from Windows to Linux
And games.
globalnode··on How can AI ID a cat?
Same here, I've never done any study of these things other than learning a bit about gradient descent out of interest. But the idea that these networks work as classifiers by figuring out boundary regions was more interesting than I previously believed.
globalnode··on I've never had a real adversary
Because we're conditioned like the dog that chases the car. Its a good observation.
globalnode··on UK drops demand for backdoor into Apple encryption
but what about the children! /s
globalnode··on It’s OK to block ads (2015)
Its fuel for your life goals, lets you think about where, what and how you want to do things for yourself. As opposed to being led along by what other's tell you you want. I'm not a philosopher but this seems like a good reason for why its valuable.
globalnode··on GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU [video]
As roer said above "Nobody is trying to argue whether child abuse is a problem or not.". You just built a straw man argument around something that isn't even being discussed.
globalnode··on GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU [video]
Its these sorts of straw men that keep the conversation going in the wrong direction.
globalnode··on GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU [video]
of course its concerning, but i doubt its the ultimate objective and it also seems contrived given the other dangers to children that abound.
globalnode··on GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU [video]
Nudge the door open with child abuse "concern" and then expand to your hearts content later. The analogy of it being like a police officer standing next to you while you chat online to a friend was great. He was joking when he said "lets cancel cars" but it might happen in the distant future. Letting people control heavy projectiles doesnt seem like such a great idea.
globalnode··on Rust in 2025: Targeting foundational software
the only place i see any interest in rust is HN or linux kernel lol, while some highly vocal people are raging about rust taking over the world, the rest of the world is moving along without it. just an observation but it seems like a storm in a tea cup.

but just saying this will likely attract an avalanche of downvotes, its like the only things you cant talk about online are anything against rust or the genocide in palestine

globalnode··on Simulating and Visualising the Central Limit Theorem
Not sure what you're stating but it seems to be made of straw.
globalnode··on Simulating and Visualising the Central Limit Theorem
The definition under "A Brief Recap" seems incorrect. The sample size doesn't approach infinity, the number of samples does. I'm in a similar situation to the author, I skipped stats, so I could be wrong. Overall great article though.
globalnode··on My AI-driven identity crisis
didnt read the article but i doubt ai was the driver
globalnode··on WHY2025: How to become your own ISP [video]
At least you don't live in australia, where the govt invested in a national broadband network so every aussie could have affordable and fast internet. Guess what we have. A broken cesspool of providers where its going to cost you in excess of $1K p/a to keep a connection to the internet going. Well done straya. Its the same with anything where theres the potential to fleece consumers.
globalnode··on Weathering Software Winter (2022)
When you really think about how unreal it is to be able to write some commands and automate stuff. Whether its a PC, a machine across the world or some other physical automation, its an entirely new thing for humans to be able to do. It deserves something other than just being functional and fiscally rational. Artistry should come into it somehow. Whats the point and wheres the enjoyment otherwise. Coming up with ways to preserve your art is definitely a worthy goal, and fear that someone will come along and buy it (or some other disaster) and deprive you of your art is fair enough.

Thanks, always helps the message when you grammar right.
globalnode··on Ask HN: What toolchains are people using for desktop app development in 2025?
Interesting, I think this is a good choice too if you want cross platform and to avoid potential future geopolitical issues that may crop up given the way the world is going.
