NO!

I will keep adding an /archive folder to every PC I own and copy the complete contents of my previous /home/ folder into it, including an endless amount of recursive /archive folders.

I will never look at any of those again. But Archeologists in the far future will find my data and it will revolutionize their understanding of our time.

2023 ! Year of the Linux desktop!

Yep. It's a goner.

It'll live on in corporate environments and XBoxes.

What a terrible whiny article.

If you actually read the original by Prusa, you will see that it is mainly about 2 things:

1) GPL and other license violations by 3d printer manufacturers

2) fraudulent local patents on things already in production and on market by competitors (who intentionally did not use patents to protect their IP)

If this article was a assignment in a language class, I would grade it a "F" for missing the mark completely.

It's a nice gimmick that gives some positive press coverage.

Only in a very dysfunctional company will this lead to any meaningfull improvement.

Mhhmm, is it popcorn time yet?

I bought a Peugeot over a VW because it has actual physical buttons.

Keep pushing touch controls, I keep not buying your shit.

This article puts into words my feelings on JS better than I ever could have.

Thank you for this!

- "hey! you can now use Javascript to make apps on any platform!" 5 million comments

As a software developer, I can 100% support your findings.

Even counting deep concentration periods (flow, whatever you want to call it) this holds true.

Beautiful.

Poems for and from 2023.

I don't know why anyone is surprised.

Apparantly they have never played the autocorrect/suggestion game on their phone.

Which is basically what all of those "AIs" are.

> Paxos also assured the funds are safe, and fully covered by reserves in their banks.

Ahahahaha.

Always normal when someone has to state this.

I'm aware how terrible this will sound, but is there any reason why lasers are not already commonly used against infantry?

I mean, you could just sweep the enemy fortifications periodically, and, well, inflict terrible harm by blinding.

> without adding true agility, and far too often without having an idea about why software development is so complex, or so enjoyable.

This almost made me cry.

Very pleasant to use with wet hair. 10/10.

> But nobody else will ever know that. I’m functional and back in the industry, but it’s not the sort of thing people discuss at the water cooler.

I think it's part of the problem than this is the case. It would probably even benefit you now, and certainly would have back then if you had talked about these things with more people.

So tasing people, makes them do stuff. got it.

Well, same as all the other big IT giants.

They all moved a lot faster than society and government, know when they must dish out lobbying money (and have enough to do so) and give more people what they want at the expense of fewer people.

It's coming to an end though. The boomers that don't understand the current state of the world anymore are moving out finally.

The next 10 years will be filled by the tears of abusive companies that don't understand why they are suddenly required to follow rules they didn't make themselves.

That is one of the cases where someone does something and you ask yourself: Why has this not happened since forever and is absolute standard everywhere?

We live in the dumbest possible timeline.

What people call AI today is in fact not AI. It is a model that has been trained on input data, and generates prompted output based on that input.

In other words THEY ARE AUTOMATED PLAGIARISM MACHINES. THAT IS HOW ALL "AI" today work.

Truely dumb.

Not to forget, you can try to be good friend to someone else.

> Anyone else with ADHD feel this way or have a healthier outlook about HN?

No, that's pretty much spot on for everything. 1) See shiny/interesting/cool/usefull thing 2) start making notes 3) possibly even start 4) go to step one.

Hey! Nice! I can now read my corporate emails for the day, because I most certainly already read the dumbest thing I will read today.

This is why it should be outlawed to call every ML model we have today "AI".

Those things are NOT artificial intelligence.

They are specific noise generators. They generate noise that is as similar as possible to noise it learned from, which match the input.

THats it. nothing more.

Many countries have different rules for businesses and private citizens.

e.g. as a private citizen in germany you have the right to return whatever you buy online, for whatever reason within 2 weeks.

I'm not aware of similar rights if it is a B2B transaction.

Everything is possible with that shitshow, but I doubt it.

But still, this is a very good reminder about using twitter as login somewhere else!

> No classes or members or whatever, it's just global functions all the way down. Or up.

I can happily report that I now know the equivalent feeling to driving too fast over a speed bump, but for reading.

Also quite a contrast to the handling of the Theranos CEO.

Could almost get the impression that white rich men get some kind of preferential treatment.
