Yeah, all strategies with things like that work very well until they don't.

Odte situation reminds me of retail investors discovering $XIV, having a good time using "safe" strategies and then getting wiped clean by the volatility spike in 2018

I still believe https://hckrnews.com/ is the peak

I personally believe iOS 7 was terrible but it was step in the right direction and continuous iterations on that design make overall user experience better than it was before. Currently, I'm not a big fan of iOS 26 but I'm willing to give a benefit of the doubt to Apple and see if the vision they have is actually make things better

All these threads about iOS 26 reminded me about something long forgotten like... the release of iOS

I suggest to check the comments in this 12 years old thread [1], replace version number 7 with 26 there and realise that some things never change

I actually really like that comment. It's an example of classic doublespeak and it's a shame that "Open"AI uses it and we as society tolerate that (as well as other companies of course)

There is a tip I've read somewhere to reach out to your elderly parents for questions you know they can answer instead of just googling it. Just to keep the connection and also make them feel needed and valued by their grown up kids.

I'm tryin to follow that advise often asking them household or cooking related questions

A few years ago I've bought an old cassette deck, ordered a few cassettes on discogs.com (some of them 30+ years old) and even recorded a few mixtapes myself. There is a long forgotten strange feeling to hold a physical media with music. Like it gives it weight...

And surprisingly, the quality is not too bad for my non-audiophile ears. Especially if you go beyond Type-I cassettes

I worked for a big tech and may be I was lucky but code wise it was much more tame. You may need to get an army of people to sign off the feature but nobody was scrutinizing my code like that

Don't want to be too judgemental but does "Self Serve invite link" feature really needs 50 commits, an army of bots, countless nitpicking and 140+ messages? We are not launching Apollo to the Moon here.

I don't know this particular project but seeing threads like this kill any motivation to contribute.

It's actually not that easy, especially at scale. Background checks cost money/time + compliance requirements are vastly different between regions/states/cities.

And there are tons of government systems you need to get data from. And some counties require in-person visit to obtain court records. And you need those records to make valid assessments.

I personally like Linkedin - it's so trashy that it makes me work harder to retire early to get away from all those crazy prople. Or at least to close the tab ASAP.

In my comment I was questioning the certainty that those fundamental flaws will be fixed. I'm one of those people who don't believe that iterating over LLM will make that giant leap.

You can call it an implementation detail but it's like both a wheel and a wing can take your over some distance but the difference between them is staggering. Wheel will never send you flying (normally)

Why are you so certain that flaws will be fixed? Seems like there is a giant leap between a machine spewing words based on probability and actual deep understanding of the code it's suppose to write

I'd expect mid-level developer to show more understanding and better reasoning. So far it looks like a junior dev who read a lot of books and good at copy pasting from stackoverflow.

(Based on my everyday experience with Sonet and Cursor)

Biden administration (and even Obama back in 2014 when Russia actually started the war) has to share a good portion of blame but what Trump is doing right now is mental

> which should help prevent Russia from further invasion

How will that prevent further agression? There are many US companies that still operate in Russia and even on Russian occupied teritories?

> which will only bring Russia closer to countries like China and a much faster takeover of Taiwan

Russia has nothing to give to China in their Taiwan takeover anymore. What the whole situation does it gives China a clear signal that US doesn't give a fuck about allies and previous promises. They make a move tommorow and that administration will even praise each other for giving up Taiwan because "it's the same nation" and "look we prevented ww3"

> There needs to be more strategic ways of dealing with Russia.

Yes, they are. Russia made it clear that it has no ways for further escalation, had severe problems with its army (DPRK troops and ammo, donkeys and horses on the frontline) and economy (interest rate is 20%+). Tighten sanctions, provide more aid to Ukraine (even in the way of loan), etc. It's not a fast answer though. And requires to have some balls.

Well... in general for busy people who don't have much free time anymore. Not strictly for parents

In my twenties moved from Russia to Australia, then lived in the US for a couple of years to see how it is. Came back to Australia just before US elections and I'm very happy with my decision to live here.

It has its own problems but for me it feels to be a much nicer place to live peacefully, raise kids and enjoy life

That's definitely an interesting hill to die on. I can say as a paid Kagi user and regular donator to ВСУ

Reminded me of this scene from IT Crowd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12LLJFSBnS4

But that's a thing: if the article becomes outdated during the course of the week - was it even important for me to read? Assuming I'm not a daytrader or anything like that

I'd really like to see Top significant news for the past week/month. I'd rather try to read weekly/monthly digest than consume the feed every hour/day. Is that possible?

I'm really surprised that it's not set on a federal level yet.

I was working with background checks in the US and it was a rule for a while that every rejection has to go through a real person

Just starting it now. After very stressful 5 years in a big tech, saved more than enough to allow me to take a year long "break" to work on my own startup that I'm really passionate about.

I'm also quite confident in my ability to find a regular job when needed even if I have a few years gap in my resume

It looks like it's impossible to build a highly successfull public company as shareholders (likely because of eroded responsibility) will always prioritise profit over ethics

Youtube is not banned in Russia (yet)

I always prefered in a single chunk
