imcritic··on Show HN: Comparing product rankings by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity
It gives poor results sometimes: try "queue system in devops". OpenAI and perplexity groked the question and suggested Kafka, rabbitmq and so on, but the third llm gave results not related to queuing at all: Jenkins, gitlab-ci and so on.

What a beautiful presentation!
imcritic··on Why did just have to update the AWS Go SDK to v2? Annoying
Absence of capital letters in texts is a clear sign of low effort b/s to me.

I'm just curious: do you have that link bookmarked?

All I get is {"error":{"message":"Not Found"}}
imcritic··on Unofficial Windows 7 Service Pack 2
It's not an entertainment, it gives more info than just a single stat "estimated time".
imcritic··on Unofficial Windows 7 Service Pack 2
As a Linux user - I'd welcome such a feature. Linux is a poor UI landmark, regardless of how nerdy its users are.

Isn't it?
imcritic··on Unofficial Windows 7 Service Pack 2
There was just 1 service pack for w7 and I've never noticed it making the system work slower.
imcritic··on Debian bookworm live images now reproducible
That's an acceptable answer for the simple case when you distribute just a file, but what if your distribution is something more complex, like an archive with some sub-archives? Metadata in the internal files will affect the checksum of the resulting archive.
imcritic··on Debian bookworm live images now reproducible
I don't get how someone achieves reproducibility of builds: what about files metadata like creation/modification timestamps? Do they forge them? Or are these data treated as not important enough (like it 2 files with different metadata but identical contents should have the same checksum when hashed)?

His proposal was towards only U.S. nationals, to make them feel what they deserve.

Poor description: it is a helper tool for when you use some AI service that requires an API token.
imcritic··on Show HN: Metacheck – preview how any link appears on social media and chat apps
Seems to work today. Nice service, thank you for it!
imcritic··on Cloudflare asks browser devs to sign insane NDAs before fixing browser blocking
CloudFlare sucks ass, they are the cancer of the modern internet. They block users for no good reasons with their captchas. There's no way to get any feedback. Fuck them. I started to stop visiting the sites that have this idiotic gatekeeping bullshit.

CloudFlare, eat shit and die.

imcritic··on Show HN: Metacheck – preview how any link appears on social media and chat apps
An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error.
imcritic··on Show HN: AliasVault – Open-source password manager with built-in email aliases
I don't see any information about domains that are used for those email aliases.

Apart from that - the idea of the project is just pure fire, I would love very much to have thousands of different personas for the nasty tracking huge corporations that entangled the internet.

imcritic··on Russia Is Using Bitcoin and Crypto for Its Oil Trades with China and India
Bullshit article, no proofs, nothing but manifesting "it is so! believe me!"
imcritic··on Rechargeable paper battery is cheaper, safer and as powerful as lithium
Another fake news: this technology won't ever result into real product.
imcritic··on PayPal honey extension has again "featured" flag in Chrome web store
Because Mozilla is as evil as google is and their browser is generally worse than chrome on average.

We are now just entering a timeline where chrome nose dives on that comparison chart of "who is better?" with compared to Firefox.

imcritic··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Depends on whether Germany wants to participate in a war or prefers peace and good relations with countries important to their economy (either as one that sells them something or as one whose territory could be used as a market for the goods you produce and sell).
imcritic··on CSS Custom Functions are coming
And that's fine as long as there's a "build/process *.sass" step happening on the server before the resulting HTML+CSS is getting sent to the client (browser).
imcritic··on Nvidia GPU on bare metal NixOS Kubernetes cluster explained
The grey color made them a bit more readable, but it looks like either fonts are broken (the text is horizontally doubling!) or it's some font shadow CSS property poorly chosen.

The fact that you don't see the problem immediately makes me also guess if it's just rendering that way only on mobiles or in my browser*os (Cromite on Android) or maybe a result of some resource (js/CSS/woff) getting blocked by the built in adblocker or something.

functions in stylesheets?

That's nuts.

The web is developing in the wrong way.

imcritic··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
> It's a fact.

No, facts can't contain undefined properties like "free and fair".

Who should decide whether a referendum is free and fair?

No one.

It's basically the question of whether people of that region agree or disagree with the referendum enough as to defend their position with force.

As you can see - Crimeans are quite content they are part of Russia and not in ruins under a nazi regime.

(That's also an opinion, the fact is that there's just no unrest.)

> But if you want the realpolitik answer, it's because the US has a competent military.

If Russia's military is so incompetent - Zelensky is going to win ~ soon, let's wait.

> David won against Goliath, remember? That's the whole point of the parable. At least find a metaphor that supports your argument.

You missed the point: Zelensky sees himself as a David from the metaphor, but reality is that he is a clown, not a leader, not even a politician, but rather a parody to one.

> And in terms of population, economy, and military spending, Europe is a lot bigger than Russia.

Yep. But Russia is at war and Europe is only cuckoldily fighting right now. Let Europe get into full blown war if they want to participate so much.

> You say Ukraine should know their fights, but doesn't that apply more to Russia? They expected the war to be over in 3 days, and it's been 3 years. Putin vastly overestimated the strength of his own army, and underestimated the resistance Ukraine would put up.

They got Ukraine military in the chokehold at the start of the operation, then Zelensky agreed to proceed with diplomacy and Russia pulled its forces back.

But then Ukraine got some spoken assurances from US and EU of receiving money and military help from them. And then Russia had to start liberation from the border again. It goes quite slow for a few reasons: first of all, Russia isn't in a hurry: it gets really valuable first hand experience in modern warfare, the kind that almost none gets (even US hasn't fought a real war (without bombarding the area to the smithereens first) for quite a long time). Another reason is that Russia successfully mobilized its economy for war time. Just in case it has to go into a bigger war now/later, but it needs time to produce more new weaponry. Another reason for going slow is that Russia isn't really fighting a genocidal war, where everyone on the other side is seen as an enemy, they just demilitarize Ukraine, fighting just its soldiers, trying not to harm civilians, and that's not so simple, actually.
