iamtheworstdev··on Antiviral chewing gum to reduce influenza and herpes simplex virus transmission
With regards to HPV, when they tried recommmending (and even making it mandatory) for young print the Christian-right cried foul pretty hard. The Texas Governor got a heap of shit over it at the time because abstinence is the only thing teenagers should know about.

iamtheworstdev··on xAI has acquired X, xAI now valued at $80B
> Edit: Elon mentioned in the last earnings call that if you are on AI3 hardware and bought FSD that they will have to upgrade you free of charge to AI4.

Unfortunately, that's because they were sued in court and lost when they tried to force people to buy the upgraded hardware in the past. Not because they stand behind their products.

iamtheworstdev··on Wall Street stocks tumble as investors fret over US economic slowdown

iamtheworstdev··on Wall Street stocks tumble as investors fret over US economic slowdown
It's intentional. Anyone thinking otherwise hasn't been listening to Treasury Sec Bissent talk these last two months. The goal to lower prices is to "increase supply and lower demand," and yes that's a direct quote. You don't lower demand by asking people to stop buying things. You lower demand by reducing people's ability to buy things.

iamtheworstdev··on Framework's first desktop is a strange–but unique–mini ITX gaming PC
i don't know about other people's experience - but my framework with intel cpu is always running that fan relatively maxed out even when it's not doing anything. And it has massive issues staying asleep which is some sort of driver issue with Windows. But I can be an airport and all of a sudden my backpack feels like it's about to combust and i can hear my laptop fan rippin', even though it should be asleep.
iamtheworstdev··on Ask HN: Do US tech firms realize the backlash growing in Europe?
